I've Got To Remember That It's Perfectly Okay To Only Share One Or Two Things At A Time. I Don't Need

Regarding the Future of the Keep

Due to many factors, not just financial, and after careful consideration, it has been decided that Plumb Bob Keep will close its doors on March 1, 2024.

This extra year has been given to us so we can properly archive the site and ensure that the content is still accessible. We will be launching a kickstarter or similar donation drive to repay Stas, Sunni's widower, for this bonus year.

The staff of PBK would like to thank the community as a whole for their amazing creations over the years, the way you all pulled together to help archive the site, and the comraderie and friendship that we have shared as historical simmers.

Looking forward, there are ideas in the works for a new, "spinoff" site where we can continue to host downloads, and the Discord will go on as well, possibly under a new name. We hope many, if not all of you, will make this transition with us.

Thank you again for 12 wonderful years of simming, and for proving that there was definitely enough interest for a forum dedicated to medieval and other historical content!

Could you: Share 5 facts about yourself and pass this on to 10 of your favorite followers. Please? =)

Well... hum... this is gonna be hard, but i'm going to try!

1st: I want to work at the gaming industry, because i like games (and how they work), and because if i get a place at EA, i can say some nasty things to the Patch bugs.

2nd: I'd like to learn tons of languages (Japanese, Russian, German, Italian and so on), and improve my french.

3rd: I had french classes, but being in a public school, my classmates were a bit noisy, so i just know the basic stuff.

4th: I been doing a lot of workout lately to lose some fat and gain some muscle

5th: I like Rock and Metal \m/

I guess that's just it.

[TS2] CAS Makeup Lag Fix

Heya!

Overview

This is a small mod for TS2 that fixes the intense lag you get when you're in step 4 of CAS (makeup/accessories/jewelry/etc)

Download: SFS / Patreon (Free)

Installation

If you have Sims2RPC, disregard the included "dsound.dll" file, simply copy the .asi file into your TSBin/mods folder.

If you don't have Sims2RPC, you will need The Sims 2 Mansion & Garden, and you must have a No-CD executable for it.

Move both the .asi and the "dsound.dll" files into your TSBin folder of your M&G installation.

Source Code

Fuck EA

Well, I can officially say that yes, it’s indeed possible, and not only is it possible, but it is done: Download it here So I recommend everyone who downloaded the original, to download that one

The Coffeesmith Project - Mod Blend º1 - Barista Plus

Hey long time no see, how is everyone doing! So this was something that was on the works for a while before It evolved into it’s own mega project, So for those that don’t know, I’m a bit of a coffee appreciator, and I like to have options for my simmies, so it became a separate project of its own. Mod Blends are just that - Mods that enhance the experience of having some of these objects within your game, as I’m about to show you, right now this is the only Mod Blend, but depending of how much I start to mess with things, others will come in the future. So, what does Barista Plus do?

Well, why don’t I show you.

this is a version of the Game without Barista Plus

this on the other hand, is a version of the game with Barista Plus In a nutshell, it allows for custom espresso bars to spawn their own Baristas in unowned community lots!!!! It has been something that has been bugging me since I found out that custom Espresso Bars didn’t have this functionality. But why didn’t they work, you might ask. Short Version: EAxis’s Spaghetti Code at it again. Long Version: It’s not that they didn’t work, they clone just fine, however, the Barista NPC Template has this unique BHAV called “Get My Stand”, basically this BHAV is the one that does the detection for the espresso bar, and io and behold, it only detects one GUID from the Uni Espresso Bar, nothing else, hence why none other custom espresso bar couldn’t spawn a Barista.

So what this does is expand the number of GUID’s the BHAV can detect, which allows for them to fully function in an unowned community lot. Right now, it detects: -Around the Sims 2′s Tea Shop Cart -Vitasims’s Victorian Tea Espresso Cart -linegud’s Elegant Espresso -All Espresso Bars I’m about to release. “But wait!” you might ask “are there any Free GUIDs I can use that are natively compatible with Barista Plus” Of course there are, I saved some from my GUID book specifically for this: 0x0093BBF0- 0x0093BBF1- 0x0093BBF2- 0x0093BBF3- 0x0093BBF4- 0x0093BBF5- 0x0093BBF6- Feel free to use any of them, but please do give me a heads up when you use them, I don’t want people taking GUID and accidentally making objects conflict. How to use them: Make it the GUID for the 0,0 Object Data, that’s it, that’s as simple as that. If you know of any other espresso bars on the wild or if you have your own already on the works with GUIDs and anything, please do tell and I’ll update the mod accordingly. And without further ado: Download Hope you enjoy it! Version Status: 1.0 - Initial Relase Special thanks: MidgeTheTree for setting me in the right direction, Fireflower, Frac and probably a lot of people from The Keep who gave me help and support for doing this.

"i'm gonna restart my CC folder🥰🌷✨!!" yes but:

re-downloading thousands of the same pieces you remember downloading not too long ago and getting confused whether you already have them or not (it's a 50/50)

"you will need the meshes here and here and here😘." (this website doesn't exist anymore)

"dress has 80 RECOLOURS😅" (no swatches)

45GB follower gift packages (you only wanted the single carpet))

Remade this dress I made a few years ago. I learned a lot since then. I kept it pretty faithful to the original but added more detailing, like making the bodice/armor's straps make actual sense and made the lacing better.

lol why did I pick this sim with that hair for the preview

It comes in 15 colors. I picked them to either be similar to the original dress's colors (which I remember a lot of people complimenting!) and then some more colors I personally liked. I wanted to include the PSD to encourage recolors but it ended up being too much of a mess...

In the future I hope to use this palette for all clothes I make.

Mini-tutorial for SimPe users

What's that "Merge" button for?

'Merge' button allows you to quickly add / replace only a part of material properties inside recolour package.

Export the settings (.xml file) from recolour A

Open .xml file with text editor like Notepad

Locate and remove the lines you don't want to replace / add to recolour B, for example: remove base texture name if you don't want to link clothing recolour B to texture resource used by clothing recolour A*

Open recolour B and hit Merge to open pop-up window. Pick the edited xml and import the settings. Remember to Commit and save.

*note: TS2 Bodyshop recolours like clothing, accessories, hair are linked to a specific texture only with TXMT Properties. In case of object recolours you also need to add / edit texture name inside File List tab.

I use Merge method to link a batch of clothing recolours to the same normal map texture included with the mesh file.
