We got weekly Sims 2 modding Workshops on my Discord server... BHAV modding isn't our strongest suit, but we do have a few! (we're hoping to build that up) ...it's a great foray into modding, cuz you have experienced custom content creators live and available to help you in real time. Anybody's welcome. See my signature! ...especially if you're someone who IS good at BHAV modding and would like to spread your knowledge to the TS2 Community! haha!

The easiest way would probably be to clone the clothing rack (Similar to how these mannequins work) and repo the textures to the originals.

I'd think it's possible to add functionality to the ingame ones, too. But just in case someone finds the non-BHAV-editing version easier.

That's kinda what I was thinking... Adding all those functions to a deco object would be more difficult than adding the existing mesh of a deco object to all those functions... hahah

the only thing I can think of is the animations of them scooching the hangers side to side might look quite a bit out of place. I guess that's something one would have to decide if they could live with or not. But yeah, I think you're right, Simmer22!

I was sure I had seen this, but the only thing I can find right now is the stands, emptied and with slots:

Leefish (RIP) was working on this, but she'd hit a snag and I'm not sure she ever uploaded it.

Odd. I can take screenshots in fullscreen mode just fine. I'm on Windows 10 and use Window's own screenshot tool that just saves everything to its own folder. It works on any fullscreen games, too.

There's a clearly a way, I just don't know what it is. It's possible I tweaked Windows' settings when I installed it but I don't remember what I did, if anything.

If I couldn't do this I'd probably use Steam :p

Edit: after Googling and looking around, I think it's related to Xbox Game Bar. It's meant to let people take screenshots and videos of games and it works on PC, it comes with Windows 10. I'm guessing I set it up and then forgot.

Interesting... The display tables could have their uses for a lot of reasons. But they wouldn't be any good for buying or trying on clothes, and they ought to be. At least there's a good explanation for WHY this hasn't been done before with the tables. A glitchy BHAV bug making it change colors after every use would indeed be annoying.

But i'm wondering if the same goes for the Zecutine’s What a Steal Wall Display, and if it would be as much of an issue, because the shelving itself doesn't really exist. Maybe a little bit, but it's not as big a deal in those (in case you're unsure of what object I'm referring to, a 2:4 recreation of them can be found here: https://www.tumbex.com/erosims.tumblr/post/119806046666 ...finding the original TS2 ones is hard!). I can't imagine those would have the same issues, or if they do, that the issue would be so insurmountable, since the object isn't really all that highly impacted by recolors.

Still, it seems Lee made a lot of progress on the object, and isolated the problem. It's unfortunate that it was never completed and it seems unlikely that anybody could pick up where she left off.

So I've been messing about a bit with the wall rack + the clothing rack, and there are some rather annoying things going on. Haven't gotten as far as to test it ingame, but the clothing rack MMATs are strange. There's two for the rack - one for the full state, one for the empty, but they have identical names, one with a completely different GUID than anything in the file - could be linked to the other one in the set, of course - but ieven when standalone it won't properly recolor the empty state (which would need a new recolor, because the full state has shadows on the wood. Could of course remove those to make my life a lot easier, though...).

Maybe it's just the clothing racks being weird. And I already know that the H&M ones have issues, so I cloned the BG/OFB ones...

I'll see if I can figure it out, but don't expect miracles, and it's not going to be a mod or full replacement of any sort.

Anyway, if I figure out how to do this one, the other one wouldn't be a problem.

Vaguely on the topic, I wonder if anyone's created empty bookshelves that can be used with OFB? Since kestrellyn's restockable novels results in them standing up on their spine, it'd work.

Empty bookshelves? A ton, all of the games one for sure. But I don't know if bookshelves qualify as a selling surface. Or if you'd have to use the ofb shelves and clone those with meshes that are bookshelves.

If there are sellable stacks of clothes (I think there are some, plus if you use the sewing machine you can make clothes that are sellable), you could use any OFB-ready shelf to place them on.

Well, apparently I can no longer take screenshots with RPC Launcher... The first screenshot works fine but then every other screenshot I take is a copy of the first. There goes my screenshot of Tara deBateau caught in the act with Ashley Pitts!

What do you think about SPEAR FISHING action? Recently I have watched CASTAWAY STORIES where (it seems so) sims can use a spear to catch fish. Did anyone ever tried to "convert" "transfer" that action from stories into sims 2? I find this fitting for nature enthusiasm sims.

It'd be fun if there was a mod that allowed Sims to attend college online like this mod for The Sims 3.

The closest anyone can manage to come close for online study is by using Monique's computer which has the option to "Study" all of the various skills. I use it to keep the college kids up on their grades if they're not interested in doing the work for it.

I'm not so sure. You can already do University from home and you can already do term papers etc. on the computer. All that would be needed would be to make lectures attendable by logging on to the computer for the lecture time.

Really wish there were more cc hairs in various stages of balding. Besides one, maybe two, original ones I've only ever come across variations of the Maxis ones.

But actually, even the lecture time is optional.

What I've done before (when the game was glitching) was use the college adjuster, mark them for 'graduate' and then move them out to a new place.

It doesn't matter if they go to lectures or not in reality, because the end result is to graduate, right?

It's getting 'graduated' that provides the memory for the student . If you're doing 'college in the hood' that's all that's necessary.

Their lifestage is still marked as having graduated from college no matter what.

I don't do the typical college thing by using the college towns. Too much of too much.

You need lectures to improve your grades. Plus, it would be weird to go to Uni and attend no lectures lol.

That, and longer beards. I find it rather strange to have weird rounded patterns offered as beards on the forums - I imagine my Sims simply don't have the time to upkeep by that amount.

Funny that you mention it, because using that interaction was the only way I was able to have a nerd sim pass with flying colours while playing Uni with Cyjon's Semester Changes. That mod is a real challenge, and that experience made me reconsider taking it out of my game.

There are already different dollhouses, but I would love to see Harry Potter themed dollhouses and other famouos houses like the white house and Graceland.

Can we get a Trump doll and burn it on the front lawn in effigy?

Let's not.

People come here to get away from overly politicized bullshit of everyday life. No need to inject it here and stir shit between simmers where none needs to be stirred.

True, White House was just an example. Doesn't matter for simmies who lives there 🙈
