Did Further Research, Both These Tools Weren't The Only Ones There Was A Face Factory For Face Sculpts,

Download this, i beg you, this is one of the few must haves people have been forgeting

It’s always annoyed me that the lid of the default residential trash can was not recolorable, so I’ve edited it.

It has 3 recolorable area’s - the base, the lid and the handles.  The bag is still the same. 

You can have this and the default bin on the lot at the same time, your Sim will simply use which ever one is nearest, and it won’t cause any issues at all.

The only light issue - when your Sim uses the bin and removes the lid it turns black and when they replace it, it goes back to the colour/pattern you specified.  I haven’t looked into fixing this, I just wanted to be able to blend the bin into my bushes :-)

If you remove this from your game, it will be replaced with the default bin so you shouldn’t have any issues. 

There are instructions in the zip for removing the default bin from the lot and this one can be found under Outdoors>Lawn Ornaments or in the Buy Debug catalogue.

Big thanks to logansimmingwolverine and elyfs-simsalabim for testing it for me <3

If you do have any issues please let me know.

Enjoy!

There is both a Sims3pack and a .package file in the .zip folder with the info and a preview.

Cottonwood Hills: a Sunset Valley makeover!

The various subhoods (with their lot sizes) can be viewed here.

Scenery pictures here: part 1, part 2, part 3 and part 4.

What’s changed?

Grass and rock textures have been replaced.

Island has been made playable.

Denser residential area lot placement.

Additional or modified lots (including lots suitable for IP gameplay, see subhoods post for details regarding sizes).

Minor road edits.

Replaced all palm trees, mixed cottonwood trees in with the blackgum trees and added various other vegetation.

Added various decoration throughout the world, including signs, traffic lights, billboards etcetera (see scenery pictures for details).

Street names have been altered to match tree theme.

Important notes:

World size: 56.3MB.

This world is empty, unpopulated and tagged as a ‘normal world’!

All lots are empty, except for the waterfall lot (as I didn’t want to mess up the rock placement, so I left it in place).

All of SSV’s routing issues should be fixed, please message me if you come across any problems.

My recent SSV downloads all fit Cottonwood Hills. I will be adding exact locations for Cottonwood Hills to future uploads.

Most original SSV spawners are still in place (with various other spawners added).

Cottonwood Hills has SSV’s original lighting and water resources, as I use Brntwaffles’ lighting mod (Fresh cut day 2.5 with Lucky Palms water).

To build your own diving lot and make it playable, please follow this excellent tutorial (you will find one diving area lot in the ocean, but you can add more in Edit World).

If you’re having trouble placing a lot, but it has the appropriate size: go into buy/build mode on the empty lot, place one object (can be anything), go back to edit town, bulldoze the lot so it’s empty again. You should now be able to place your lot.

Requirements:

Patch 1.55.

Expansions: WA, AMB, LN, PETS, SHT, SPN, UNI, IP.

Store worlds: Monte Vista, Sunlit Tides, Lucky Palms, Lunar Lakes, Aurora Skies.

Welcome Back!

GUESS WHO’S BACK? TELL A FRIEND

@staff @support, have you considered fixing your bot for once, it hasn’t been almost a week since the last account purging, and you’ve hit more blogs again, reinstate back @riekus13 and @lolitarecolors

ANOTHER SIMBLR DELETED?

I’m pretty much a nobody in the sims community so I doubt this would get around that much, but considering the latest events with tumblr randomly deleting blogs, I’m pretty sure riekus13 got deleted as well, since their blog was there last night, but isn’t today anymore (morning time for me when I’m writing this post).

After weeks of email round robin where every tech support person knew something different. ^_^

It's back! For realz this time. With it's totally centered header if your browser is wide that I'll most likely never fix because I don't ever want to do this again.

A big thanks to everyone for their patience and support. I hope to never do this again.

All bookmarks should work. All redirects from old digitalperversion links should work. Feel free to let me know of any links not working. Unless it's cc stuff, then I probably not the one to ask.

I've got to remember that it's perfectly okay to only share one or two things at a time. I don't need to release a freaking Stuff Pack of clothes or hair in one go.

Reblog if you can say you have never sent hate or "go kill youself" messages to people . I want to see how many kind hearted people there are in tumblr .

"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)

broken links

foreign sites

fuckin adhfly

the TSR 15 seconds of agony per download

"where are those specific blinds i remember downloading in 2009 i can't live without them"

"meshes not included."

30 poly💕 <3

"dress has 80 RECOLOURS😅" (no swatches)

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

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.
