So My Earliest Memory Is From My First Time Playing Any Sims Game, It Was Sims 2 For Console, I Think

Quick(ish) announcement

We've noticed some confusion about what @simblreenofficial is, and how it works.

First of all, we're here to manage and clarify doubts about this event. We make a guide, we give out dates, we answer asks and we reblog content made for Simblreen. This is to help newcomers to simblr, or simblrs who didn't participate in past years. When they see people mention Simblreen but don`t understand what it is or how it works, our blog is here as a reference that everyone can point to.

Simblreen was an event born out of simblrs wanting to do something fun for Halloween as well as share what they made with others. We are not the end all be all of events surrounding Halloween in the simblr community. There are CAS challenges, edit challenges. We know some people have their own events in discord, and facebook, etc. This doesn't concern us, just like events made around Christmas don't concern us.

Multiple people manage this account, and you are free to reach out to them on their personal accounts for personal opinions (doesn't mean we will answer on our personal accounts either, but you know...). But please do not tag or involve @simblreenofficial. We're here only as a guide for Simblreen.

We've also seen people being worried of doing things during Simblreen they may not be allowed to.

Let's make things clear here: We only ask for the gifts to be given for free, as in not paywalled. This is the only things we do not budge on. When you participate, how you give out your gifts, what kind of gifts you have, what sims games your gifts are for, etc., are up to you. And if you do not have gifts, that's okay too! You can trick or treat, you can do CAS challenges or edits, do spooky stories, or you can simply not participate at all!

We are not here to police how you participate in Simblreen. We are here to help and give advice when asked for it and uplift anyone making content for Simblreen.

Our goal is for anyone who wishes to participate in Simblreen to have as much fun as possible, and to go about it as stress-free as possible.

TL:DR we just want you to be happy around Halloween! 🎃

Honestly, I’ve been thinking about that possibility for a while now, and it would be awesome if I could figure out doing something like that, but I don’t really know how to do that.

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.

Check-in tag

@mrs-mquve-cc​ did a general tag to anyone who saw the post, and I decided to be like... sure, why not?

Why did you choose your url? 

You know those times when you are in your teens, and you have that one stage you’re obcessing over a thing, and you merge that thing with another one of your favorite thing and you kinda go for that vibe... that’s my url in a nutshell I guess, too much into Wolverine, but it is still a simblr. How long have you been on tumblr?

A good while... 8-9 Years I think

Do you have a queue tag?

Nope

Why did you start your blog in the first place? 

Because I wanted to make CC specifically for Sims 3 and Sims 2, now I only want to do CC for 2, so... yeah

Why did you choose your icon/pfp? 

Because it goes back to what I explained in the first question, also it’s the cover of the first wolverine comic I’ve ever owned, and there’s also a bit of... “Ow the Edge” teen vibe as well... probably need to change that now that I’m thinking about that

Why did you choose your header? 

It’s like... default stuff, I liked it, it’s functional... I might change it too eventually

What’s your post with the most notes?

That has to be my coffeesmith project post with all the custom espresso bars and their espresso machine counterparts, aparently people really like those, though I might be concerned not everyone downloaded the proxy GUID mod that let’s the espresso bars spawn npc baristas if the lot is unowned... but hey, it’s other people’s games, not mine.

How many mutuals do you have?

Unsure and afraid to count, probably not that many, although I do try to follow back most people who follow me and also have a Sims 2 Simblr... so who knows

How many followers do you have?  How many people do you follow? 

207 Followers, and I’m Following 574 people.

Have you ever made a shitpost?

Oh have I ever made a shitpost... I’ve done a lot of shitposting, not here, but I have

How often do you use tumblr each day?

Daily, I have a tab open to check, specially to check fresh new CC

Did you have a fight/argument with another blog once? Who won?

I haven’t, and I’d rather not throw hands, want to avoid conflict as much as possible, I’m not a very conflictuous person, it might happen, but I try my best that it doesn’t

How do you feel about ‘you need to reblog this’ posts?

Well, on one hand, I understand that people want the issues highlighted in those posts to have a broader reach, on the other, not everyone has to reblog everything, specially if they are trying to keep their blogs under certain themes, they’re fine, maybe a bit pushy, but they are fine, nonetheless.

Do you like tag games?

Depends of the game and if I’m feeling it to be honest, but for the most part, yeah

Do you like ask games?

Same response as the last, depends of the game and if I’m feeling it, but yeah, I do them too

Which of your mutuals do you think is tumblr famous?

I don’t check, probably there’s a couple of my mutuals with a larger following, but I see it more as a vast community rather than someone being Tumblr famous, Also, fame is subjective, I might think a lot of people I know have a large following, while in fact that might not be the case.

Do you have a crush on a mutual?

Nope

Alright, that wraps this up, I’m also gonna do a general tag, If you see this, feel free to consider yourself tagged.

Fuck EA

Sims 2 PSA

This is a suggestion for the ts2 community to make finding cc easier. It's not a big problem, but sometimes I still make this mistake, so it's also a reminder for myself.

When answering WCIFs, name the cc item or mod, its creators and any other information that would be useful to identify where it came from. Don't just say "It's here" and paste the link. Knowing the information could save a lot of time if the original download post goes down. Include a picture of the item if you can.

Similarly, when you share something, type a descriptive title in text, so it's easier to find through google. Don't just use a title card.

Also, this is not as common anymore, but if you're going to name your cc after a song, make sure your file names include some kind of basic description of the item, or a put a preview picture in your zip/rar/7z file.

"Repo What You Bow" - Lama's AC Crossbow as a Repogun DR

This is a quick project that had been floating on my head on and off, but decided to tackle now as a bit of a palate cleanser from other projects I'm working on

This is Lady Lama's Assassin's Creed Crossbow conversion as a functional default replacement for the Repogun.

Why a crossbow, you may ask, what are the logistics of a crossbow taking away your stuff? Magic I suppose, also, Rule of Cool, it looks really cool in action (well, it does have clipping going on, tried to mitigate it as much as I could, but I can live with it)

Credits: Lady Lama for the original conversion

Download

So, I went the extra mile to turn my disc into an ISO and uploaded the contents of it to the Internet Archive... I did that at least a month ago, but I only remembered to upload it yesterday Like I said in the description, the installers are in Portuguese, but that's about it, the programs got barely any language, so If you want to try at least Fashion Factory, you can give it a go https://archive.org/details/fashion-styling-factory

'the sims 2 fashion factory'

was this a thing? i have no memory of it but if anyone could provide some info

the description says:

A new tool offering easy and fast creation of your own fashion collection and accessories for your Sims. Importing things into the game itself is easier than the blink of an eye. In addition, you can also design your own tattoo and know the latest trends and clothing styles.

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.

Thank you for reading & thank you for using my outfits I make. It makes me really happy seeing people's game-play pictures using the things I've made. I hope to make more soon.

It took me the entire day to reinstall the game on my new computer, to make all the adjustements for it to work on Windows 11, find the right settings with the Graphic Rules Maker, and… my game loads twice faster from Windows to neighborhood view, then it loads at least TEN TIMES faster to enter a lot, everything runs so smoothly, even in very heavy CC lots and neighborhoods, with all settings at high, Origin downloading the Sims 4 at the same time, talking to my best friend on Discord, recording a video… like… IS THIS HEAVEN ?! I’m about to cry. Tears of joy of course. But still !

I think the next week (or maybe even the next month) will be about enjoying my game and nothing else. I’m so, so, so happy, you can’t even imagine !

The Coffeesmith Project - Mod Blend 1.5 - Barista Plus Rebrewed

Howdy, How is everyone? So, what’s this one about? Well, it works the same as Barista Plus, Except not really. This is the Proxy GUID version of Barista Plus. So a while back, a bit around the original release of Barista Plus, some people have inquired about making it better by instead of looking at a bunch of individual GUIDs, it should look for a Proxy GUID, kind of like what Argon’s Instruments does, and that has been sitting on the back of my head for a while, but It wasn’t something I was actively working on since the original release of Barista Plus. That Changed last week, when @itsdiamondeyesuniverse slid into my DMs and found some interesting information about Proxy GUID, and after a couple of hours and days with plenty of help from @midgethetree, here arrives the Rebrewed version of Barista Plus.

Edit (Because I forgot to put a quick description of what the original Barista Plus did): What the original Barista Plus (and this one too) does is that it allows Baristas to spawn in Custom Espresso Bars, what changes is how the mod does so. For specifics, the Mod looks at all objects for a specific GUID (the Fallback GUID located in the 0,0 position object) which for most of the espresso bars, that does not change at all, and it spawns the barista if the conditions are met, like I said, same deal as Barista Plus, except this one doesn’t look at only eleven GUIDs, or so, but to all instances of the same fallback GUID. Now for a bit of a warning, like I said, this GUID is going to look at *All* objects, which means it might caused some lag, that didn’t happened when I tested it, but if you have a CC Heavy Game, feel free to tell me if it does. Download Special Thanks to @itsdiamondeyesuniverse for getting me the information that helped me getting this thing started, @midgethetree for helping with the code, @crispsandkerosene and @miros1 (I hope I’m not missing anyone else) for asking if making that revision was a possibility, and Everyone at the PBK Discord for general support.
