Done In Collab With Wonderful @pforestsims – It's 2024, High Time To Rework How Cameras Work In TS2!

Done in collab with wonderful @pforestsims – it's 2024, high time to rework how cameras work in TS2!

With this mod, sims can only take pictures if they have a camera in their inventory. To make this more feasible, the default camera is now buyable under Electronics / Small for §120. (If your sim happens to leave on a vacation without a camera, they can still ask kind locals and tourists to take pictures for them.)

In addition, there are six new functional custom cameras.

For most cameras, you'll need to order the photo with a computer to get a printed version, as is the default behavior.

Instant cameras: With Classic Polaroid and Instax cameras, the photo will be added to your sim's inventory right away. They require the instant photo mesh to work (included with the download). The photos taken with instant cameras can't be ordered with computers.

By default, the instant photo has a clear vignette overlay. You can add a tint to it by clicking the mesh and choosing either blue, green, red, or orange tint from the pie menu. It's also possible to revert it back to being clear.

There are two versions of this mod: the 'cellphone' one makes the cellphone work as a camera and is meant to be used together with my phone default. The cellphone will get picked for taking pictures only if the sim doesn't have another camera in their inventory.

The 'no cellphone' version has all the other functionality but the default cellphone won't work as a camera with it.

📷 Download (SFS) (alternate)

Files are compressed. Requires Bon Voyage and maybe University too. A collection file for the custom cameras is included; you can keep only those that you like, the mod works with or without them.

🚨🚨 Both mod versions conflict with the custom smartphone camera mod by @jellymeduza. The other parts of that smartphone mod are compatible.

This mod is compatible with camera default replacements that don't include an OBJD override, for example this one by @vegan-kaktus works perfectly.

The mirrorless camera was converted from TS4 by @lordcrumps, thank you for sharing the textures! The telephoto camera was converted from TS4 for this project, thank you @deedee-sims for extracting! The DSLR camera was converted for this project as well, from ACNH.

Loads 'o Laundry 2.0

2 years after the release of Loads 'o Laundry, we now present: Loads 'o Laundry 2.0: a much-improved version of the Laundry mod and system!

Several gameplay features have been improved and many annoyances bigger and smaller have been resolved! A large number of new objects have also been added for your enjoyment. Sims 3 and 4 players may see some familiar things... Overall, it represents a marked improvement over the original version.

Furthermore, the Laundry Mod now comes with full language support for Dutch, French and European Portuguese with more coming soon...

Before proceeding further, make sure you have the following requirements installed:

Requirements

Easy Lot Check

Easy Inventory Check

Smarter EP Check

Money Globals

Time-out Controller

Fetch Water (water bucket)

Suds 'n Bubbles (for making your own detergent)

Flowing Fabrics (for the fresh outfit)

Various master meshes (see Manual)

A more detailed list of requirements as well as detailed instructions can be found in the Manual.

Gameplay overview and Download links below the cut

Gameplay Overview

Your Sims will now generate laundry if their hygiene is low enough. This requires the Laundry Global Mod (offered separately from the objects) as well as a Laundry-related object being present on the lot.

Sims may store their laundry in a hamper. Sometimes automatically if it's close enough and your Sim is inclined to be neat....

Wash and dry your clothes: a variety of both historic and modern, manual and mechanical ways to wash and dry your laundry are included.

Tired of the laundry piling up? Simply place a "Laundry-Begone-Box" on your lot and your Sims will no longer generate laundry!

Laundry Global Mod

The global mod is the backbone of the laundry system. You will need it in order to have your sims produce laundry. As it is a Global Mod, it is in its own rar. The Laundry Mod also has various trait-related features for you to enjoy:

Support for the Nevernude, Neat and Slob trait

Support for the following custom lifestates: Ghost, Mermaid & SkeleBro

NEW: Support for @anachronisims' Nudist trait

NEW: Hamper magic! If your sims are neat enough, they may automatically put their dirty laundry in the hamper (if there's one in the room)

MAC-compatible!

You need to have the file "SunMoon-Laundry_Hamper_Wicker_Round-REQUIRED" in your folder in order for the global mod to work!

Washers, Dryers, Tubs and Lines

Your Sims may wash their laundry using a wide variety of both manual tubs and modern washers. Both of these require detergent to use. Of course, after your laundry has been washed, you can dry them using either a dryer or a line. Just make sure not to hang your laundry outside on a rainy day. Just a mall overview of the features offered:

Laundromat mode: run your own laundromat business at home or on a community lot! Sims will actually wash their dirty laundry! Of course, it works for visiting Sims too!

NEW: @anachronisims Big Spender Trait now effects the likelihood of a Sim using a laundromat machine

NEW: Stock your washer or tub with a detergent of your choice; no longer will you need an entire box of detergent for a small load, now one detergent will last multiple loads!

NEW: 2 extra detergents have been added. You can now choose between a Box or Bottle of detergent, Soap Solution or even a Baggy of Soap Nuts!

NEW: The fabulous @jellymeduza has created a fantastic little ceiling rack for drying your laundry

NEW: Many more washers and dryers straight from the Sims 3 and 4

NEW: Modern laundry detergent vendor. You can still access any laundry product still despite its looks.

Custom sounds and animations: not only does laundry come with custom (Sims 4) animations courtesy of @mortia, there are also some custom sounds!

Color Controller

This set also comes with a "Color Controller". This object allows you to choose the look of not only your newly-spawned laundry, but also how the fabric on your drying lines looks like! Use only ONE per lot.

Bonus

Another new feature is the (optional) support for @lazyduchess Laundry token: players with FT installed, have the option of downloading his laundry mod and getting the same slower motive decay for comfort when changing into different clothes using our fresh outfit object. Players without FT and/or this token will get a small bonus to the comfort motive instead. This is NOT available for MAC-users! You will need the following files from his mod should you want this feature:

ld_BecksLaundryMotiveDecayController

ld_BecksLaundryMotiveDecayToken

Download links

Now for what you have all been waiting for: the download links. REMOVE all old files before updating! File names have been changed!

Download Laundry Global Mod (Required) Download Loads 'o Laundry (objects) View Manual

Localization

Added support for Dutch

Added support for European Portuguese - Obrigadas @logansimmingwolverine!

Added support for French - Merci @helene2troie !

Partial language support for many other languages has been added in the form of catalog descriptions for Sims 3 and 4 conversions. (NOTE: 3t2 conversions have no Simplified Chinese, 4t2 conversions have no Hungarian. None of them have Thai)

Polish, Russian and Brazilian Portuguese support is currently in progress and should hopefully become available sometime in early 2024

Would you like to have this set fully translated into YOUR language? Don't hesistate to make a translation using the localization strings. Just send it over when you're done and we will add it to the set! (send it via or Discord or PM fireflowersims)

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

Constantly, the amount of projects I have in the back burner is astounding, and some could be considered finished... I just never bothered to give them proper screenshots Add that the fact I'm in a constant state of rebuilding my downloads folder... and by rebuild i mean start a new one.

Oh we're doing a simblr gratitude day... wait what do you mean i'm a day or two late?! Well where do I even begin, I'm not exactly the most vocal person on social media, and a lot of my connections were formed through forums like the Keep and the late but not forgotten Sims Daily, but plenty of the people I met there are still around here, and I'm always happy to see them post, regardless of what sims game they are playing.

I'm going to tag some people I've appreciated through the years and some that I am thankful to have met and others that I don't know personally but i still find their work pretty cool, in no particular order @fireflowersims @fracturedmoonlight @davinaojeda @anachronisims @mortia @missy-hissy @aroundthesims @ice-creamforbreakfast @icemunmun-spicy-scalpel @sentate @pforestsims @deedee-sims @jacky93sims @lamare-sims @lazyduchess @asimplevampire @osab @crispsandkerosene @mrs-mquve-cc @episims @simnostalgia @mustluvcatz-reloaded @tvickiesims @jellymeduza @hodgekiss @bstu @gummilutt @12raben @bayoubashsims @glorianasims @gayars @emperorofthedark @esotheria-sims @withlovefromsimtown @goatskickin @itsdiamondeyesuniverse @riekus13 @junipermeadows @lavenderlight @simping-simmer @midgethetree @samkat10423 @vampirekiss6661 @franglishetchocolat @sitaechoes @anitmb and @aniraklova I probably missed a ton more of people, but just know that i appreciate everyone, my mutuals, the cc creators, the storytellers, the builders, the photographers, everyone that makes this little corner of the internet and the sims community special, In fact the reason I got this post as late as I did was because I was seriously trying to remember all the amazing people In the community I've met before or found to be cool, and again, even If I haven't tagged you and we've interacted before, know that I haven't forgotten about you, and that I still appreciate you!

Thank you for incorporating my translation! I'm glad to be of help!

Rabbit Pen - A Default Replacement (yet Another Collab With @episims​ ❤)

Rabbit pen - a default replacement (yet another collab with @episims​ ❤)

Put your hand up if you ever used this toy dog pen! 🙋‍♀️ No one? Yeah, thought so XD

Originally I wanted to make this a custom pen, but then we decided that the toy dog pen wouldn’t be missed, so we made a default! And also, because the animations needed to be edited, and it was easier this way! (we’re not going to create a custom verison)

The bunny comes from sims 4 (many thanks to @tvickiesims​ for extracting it!), but it got adjusted to the pen. It has all the original 8 color variations (4 as defaults, and 4 recolors)! The animations are not accurate (that’s not how bunnies move!), and there’s also some clipping as well, but that was the best we could do. The weirdest animations got removed though, so the bunnies don’t bark at least. The sounds also got removed, bunbun is a silent creature!

image

The bunny has its own pet treat, and its own food box texture. The pen also got a little facelift, featuring some hay, a chewing stick, and a wooden bunny house! (that they never use, but whatever, it’s part of the ~aesthetic~) Despite this, all the existing recolors should work fine with this default!

The toy dog-related wants (and fears) also got adjusted, so now sims roll wants and fears about the bunnies instead of the dogs! Important! The Wants file in the download shouldn’t be renamed, because it’ll stop working!

The description and interaction texts were changed and got translated to Finnish and Hungarian as well. If you wish to provide a translation to other languages, please contact Epi!

Update 08/12/22: Polish translation by @jellymeduza​ added!

Update 08/17/22: More translations added! Russian by @summer-choi-simblr​, French by @tvickiesims​, and Brazilian Portuguese by @itsyuna​! Thank you all!

Update 08/18/22: Even more translations added, woo! Spanish by @nevernerdenough, and Swedish by @namelessperson98! Thank you so much!

Update 11/11/22 (cool date lol): Text got replaced in the buy a toy dog want (only the Wants file changed). Please tell us if it doesn’t work, we couldn’t test it properly!

Update 12/14/23: Portuguese translation by @logansimmingwolverine​ added! Thank you so much!

Mesh, texture, and font credits go to Eaxis, Freepik, Julsfels, Veranka, Eddysims, Franzillasims

Oh and it’s advisable to delete your thumbnails to see the changes in the pet selection window!

Have fun, and tell us if you find any problems! 🐇

Get dressed action on towel racks

A while ago I started using @episims' wonderful towel lite mod that makes our Sims put on a towel or a bathrobe after they shower or bathe. It adds a delightful touch of realism that is really fun. But as much as I enjoy taking my rich lady from her fancy bathroom to her walk in closet in a towel, sometimes I don't want to send my Sim past their bedroom to get dressed. When I shower I usually get dressed in the bathroom, putting on clothes I hung by the towels before getting in the shower. I thought, why can't my Sims do the same? With a little imagination, I re-purposed the actions of the Seasons coat rack to add clothes-changing animations to the towel racks that most of my Sims already have in their bathrooms, so that I can pretend they too put out their clothes on the towel rack before getting in. I wasn't sure if it was worth uploading but you guys loved the idea so here we go! :)

I only added everyday, formal and pyjamas because those are the three I thought it likely I would ever want. Shower during the day? Everyday clothes please! Girlies got ready for a night out? Get glam with your formal wear! A shower before bed? You'll want your pyjamas. The other categories seem unlikely, but I am open to updating it if there's a persuasive reason :)

As you can see in the video Sims are pretty decent about using the towel racks, even if they are on a wall behind stuff. I haven't altered the actual code to navigate to it, it uses the same slot as viewing the deco object did previously, which in my test has worked well. In the end I had to use different animations for children because the coat rack uses a step stool which needs a slot that the deco objects do not have and I could not figure out adding one. It was either different animations or floating in the air, so different animations it is :)

I've edited three of the Maxis towel racks. "Towel on a Metal Rod", "Towel on a Wooden Rod" and "Towel Hanger Plus Plus". I'm also sharing one edited CC towel rack by Simply Styling, which I discovered through @gayars recolors found on her website here.

Get Dressed Action On Towel Racks

Get maxis towel rack add on on SFS | Get Jope towel rack on SFS

If any creators would like to add these edits to their own towel racks, please feel free to do so. To make it easier on you, or any simmer that simply wants to update things they downloaded, I prepared a download package with the resources you need and some basic instructions. It's not step by step, it assumes you are familiar with edits. Should anyone want or need more detailed instructions, I am happy to help when I can :)

Conflicts: The maxis towel rack add on are global plug in for those objects, which means there is a potential for conflicts. HCDU+ will find any conflicts, but I doubt there are any. Indirect conflicts may also occur if you have mods that add additional interactions to deco objects, they would not show on the towel racks because I have overridden their usual pie menu.

Credits: whoward69 at @picknmixsims who taught me how to edit event trees in animations, @episims for the towel lite mod that inspired this, @gayars who taught me how to repurpose animations between objects and for introducing me to the jope towel, and all you lovely people that encouraged me to post this with your enthusiasm <3

Yeah, styling factory looks... peculiar to say the least, face factory is also available in the internet archive, though not fashion factory nor living factory, and I am more intrigued now about living factory, because I can't find anything about that tool other than it existed Anyone who might have owned it, do you know how that one worked?

Oh, I have that, got it from a second hand game store for like 50 cents, my copy came also bundled with another tool called style factory that is for custom hair meshes. I've used both very briefly, it was a weird tool kinda yeah. My copy doesn't have like a manual, so i don't know if it ever did have one Other than that it seems the copyright is by some company called GedonSoft GmbH.

PSA: The Pink Flashing Experience Survey is STILL ACCEPTING RESPONSES!

If you already participated, thank you so, so much. The survey has been revised as of mid-November to add more questions and will now probably take at least 30 minutes to complete in full. It is detailed. You should not attempt to complete it on mobile away from your simming computer.

The survey is for ALL TS2 players, whether you have pink flashing in your game or not.

I now anticipate releasing the analysis report in early January 2024. For your data to meaningfully contribute to this analysis, a response deadline of December 15, 2023 is being established.

DM me if you already took the original survey, want to answer the additional (follow-up) questions, and haven't already heard from me.

PLEASE REBLOG for maximum reach, even if you already responded or reblogged my original solicitation for responses.

THANKS EVERYONE!!

Pink Flashing Experience Research Survey!

Hi TS2 community, I am very interested in learning more about the way pink flashing happens or doesn't happen in different people's games. I have put together this kinda fairly detailed survey as a Google Form that hopefully can shed more light on the issue.

If you are familiar with your computer and graphics settings, you can easily finish the survey in about 5 minutes. If you need to look a few things up, it could take 10-15.

If you had flashing with some settings and resolved it, please consider filling out the form twice - once describing your experience before you fixed it and again for after. If not, please just use your post-fix experience.

Please, please reblog as data is only as good as the breadth of its sample. A summary of the results are viewable to all upon completion of the survey and I am happy to share more detailed findings with the modding community, just let me know.

Fetch Water has been updated and not only does this update come with bug fixes, it also with some nice new goodies!

Fixes

Fixed Seasons Wells flashing blue

Fixed some GUID issues affecting Barnyard Bash

Minor optimization

NEW

Added localization for the following languages: Dutch, EU Portuguese

There is a new water bucket variation available: the water basket:

Many indigenous peoples in the Americas, especially on the North-Western coasts (stretching from Alaska all the way down to Northern California), made and used tighly-woven baskets to store water. The basket shape we used in this case, most resembles watertight baskets woven by the Haida people, residing in Haida Gwaii, an archipelago off the coast of Western Canada. Many thanks to June (junipermeadows) for cultural consultation

The Haida Wicker basket requires the dining chair from Basket Weaving. Please remove ALL old files before updating.

So my earliest memory is from my first time playing any sims game, it was sims 2 for console, I think I was 8 years old, and I think it was near my birthday too, or was easter, the memory is kind of fuzzy in those regards I just had got the copy, and I start playing, I think I went to free mode first and foremost, and I try to recreate the characters of this anime called Kaleido Star, which was airing at the time in a specific nacional kids channel, anyways, I don't think any of them look like the characters, but, long story short, they were all living in a single room house cubicle, and sims died and it was an overall mess, details are kinda vague on that. But I guess I still wanted more.

The earliest memory of the sims you have. On your mark, get set...go!

The last time I opened my Asks I noticed that there were a bunch of "look alike" (written in a similar way) anon requests. Maybe someone is using the anonymous option to avoid my policy and request more objects at a time. To prevent this issue I'm going to open the requests only for the ones with a tumblr account, hope you understand ;)

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! 🎃

Mini-tutorial for SimPe users

What's that "Merge" button for?

Mini-tutorial For SimPe Users

'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.

Mini-tutorial For SimPe Users
Mini-tutorial For SimPe Users

*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.

My name is Olive Specter. I am 88 years old. My house is located in the northeast part of Strangetown, where the local cemetery is located, and I am a widow.I am now on the tenth stage of my Slacker career and I come home no later than 2 AM every day. I smoke and sometimes drink.I’m in bed by 2 AM, and make sure I get eight hours of sleep, no matter what. After having a glass of warm milk and doing about twenty minutes of stretches before going to bed, I usually fall asleep without any problems until I am fully energized(bruh) . Just like a baby, I wake up without any fatigue or stress in the morning. I was told there were no issues at my last check-up. I’m trying to explain that I’m a person who wishes to live a very quiet life. I take care not to trouble myself with any enemies, like winning and losing, that would cause me to lose sleep at night. That is how I deal with society, and I know that is what brings me happiness. Although, if I had to step over someone’s corpse to achieve my goal, I would do so.

This is a great idea, I love it!

I know that people who follow me probably don't care for a medieval playstyle, or are maybe too scared by how daunting the task of gathering all the CC is.

Well regardless, I'm creating a carrd that provides links to many defaults so that it would be easier to find and download default clothing, functional items, food, jobs, and other things !

Given the vast amount of defaults available, I'm open to allowing people to join the carrd and help to make finding medieval CC a whole lot easier.

If you want to join, DM me. You will need to make a free account on the carrd website, use an email that you do not mind sharing with me ! You may also need to join Plumb Bob Keep.

Yeah, there isn’t a time I don’t report bot accounts and while I do have a good grasp on seeing who’s a bot or not, at the end of the day I might report someone accidentaly. So yeah, do make sure you don’t look like a bot, or say something about not being a bot, and we’re all good.

EmptyStandbyList Download Link/Guide

The original site for EmptyStandbyList.exe seems to be dead. That's a big issue if you're trying to use the reddit guide or @thejessachannel's How To Stop Sims 2 Crashing video to clear it, which can sometimes help with crashing/pink flashing issues! Here is an archive.org link that has a working download:

EmptyStandbyList.exe is a command line tool for Windows (Vista and above) that can empty: process working sets, the modified page list, the

I recommended the reddit guide to make sure it runs in the background & doesn't interrupt the game.

PSA Regarding Hateful Anons

Tumblr recently made it a requirement for you to be logged in to send asks anonymously. If you receive a hateful ask, don’t publish it - report it to Tumblr. It can be traced back to the user that sent it and with enough reports that person’s account will be suspended.

Share to raise awareness but also to make the clowns who think this behaviour is acceptable think twice before acting brave behind the guise of invisibility.

Question

I want to ask to sims 2 simblr in general for an oddly specific detail that someone might know for one reason or another. Does anyone know what is the Highest Poly count of all official EAxis hair meshes, these include not just in-game hairs, but Store, Pre-Order and Official Exchange Hair Meshes?

Help Needed - Sunken Object Mesh

Guys, I need help from object creators and meshers - I’m trying to convert this sunken fireplace from Syboulette.

My problem is that it’s a bit under the ground level but I have no idea how to deal with it. Apparently I need a mesh mask but I don’t know how to make one. I found no tutorials on this topic.

I also tried opening up the sunken base game jacuzzi but saw nothing special in that mesh, yet somehow it makes a ground cutout…

Do you have any ideas on this please? 🥺

And Now for Something Completely Different…

After coming back into contact with Stas, Sunni's widower, the plans for the Keep have changed. Disregard most of what was posted above.

We WILL be remaining open for the foreseeable future, accepting both new members and new content. The site will remain a historical- and fantasy-focused Sims 2 forum.

Going forward, the Keep will be managed by a "Regency Council" instead of just one Regent. This will consist of PBK moderators CelestialSpider, Davina Ojeda, and rugrat0ne, as well as Discord moderators Fire_flower and Sonikku3.

Fractured Moonlight will be stepping back into something of a "silent partner" role so she can focus on creating. We thank her for her years of service running the Keep all by herself, especially out of the blue. We know it was not easy.

We are already establishing better lines of communication with Stas in hopes of avoiding the annual early March panic, and reminders have been set for February fundraising.

There will be annual fundraisers on GoFundMe or similar sites to offset the cost, and to provide more transparency than we've been able to provide in the past.

Meanwhile, archiving efforts will continue until the site is fully backed up, as a failsafe. We will also periodically archive new content in the future.

Many, many thanks to those who pitched in on the archiving project, to those who donated, in this year and previous ones, and to everyone who supported and continues to support Plumb Bob Keep.
