Default Junkyard/Junky-Yard rusted out machinery & such
Here is a sample of what I ended up with, including said "terminator bus"...

The tray of ground meat at center is the demodog bait, however, looks like some garden-variety junkyard dogs may beat them to it. Comes down to a fight, my money's on the demodogs.


There are a few functional items sprinkled amongst the wrecked deco ones: an old bathtub, a sink and a stove made out of oil drums, a suitcase phonograph, a "really distressed" couch, and a TV that looks at home there. This way, my Hawkins kids can satisfy their basic needs while hanging out here, or hiding from the lab goons, etc.

I actually found most of my decrepit stuff at GOS.
Mainly Kativip and PsychoSims' stuff.
Did a lot of digging for what I wanted and I spent many hours at that site.
I'd still recommend for those looking for their junky content.

Also these sites :

I had to do a lot of digging and the search for the perfect clutter took me weeks. Heck no, more like months.
But my sims are worth it !

Hope you find what you're looking for, and maybe share some links if you hit on something super great ?
Lol.

I also googled, "sims 2 clutter" and "sims 2 apocalyptic trash" , etc.

There's also a sims 2 creator called (I think) "Dumb Trashy Blond", or something like that ?
Who has recolored a great many objects to look, well, trashy and unkempt.

Hth.

SO, I have the "terminator bus", and I found an old beat-up car minus the wheels, but I'm looking for more. Stuff you'd find in, say, a small-town municipal junkyard, or out in front of your average farmer's house in Southwest Michigan ... or any other rural location, for that matter, but I'm thinking specifically of my uncle's place. Wrecked cars, old farm machinery, broken clothes dryers, rusty water heaters, cracked bathtubs... just JUNK. Not necessarily piles of trash, most of which I find to be rather unconvincing in appearance in the Sim world... Please, don't point me to anything on thesimsresource; it's a horribly slow site, and for me, none of their download links work. I've also been to search Garden of Shadows, but to find anything there you have to be willing to wade through a heck of a lot of posts, of widely varying degrees of cryptic-ness... crypticity? I know, people in glass houses...
BTW, I also searched MTS for "junk", and the no. 1 hit was a nutella-marshmallow casserole (huh?)
So, anyway, if anyone knows specifically of a good treasure trove of old Fallout-style, PixelHate-esque looking deco objects, I'm all ears.

Thanks.

Where did you find the "Terminator Bus" ?
Sounds super interesting. :D

I've found a lot of content from the links that would also work very well for my Pleasantview Epic Challenge wihich is taking place in the early 17th century and that school bus would look perfect for m downtown slum neighborhood when Pleasnvirw get to that stage.

This skill motor (unless you have it of course) is my top tip. Here on MTS I also know of some old meshes that might work if the outdated textures are not a problem:

https://modthesims.info/d/168628/ne...arrow-deco.html
https://modthesims.info/d/46891/tes...mp-updated.html

Psychosims had some old vehicles and things on this site
https://modthesims.info/downloads/a...&fbf=0&u=896633

And here is Psychosim's LiveJournal with a lot more - though most of it is very urban-looking.

I haven't checked the download links for these GoS items, but at least I found them!
Set including a rusty tractor
This lot holds a water tank that could fit in on a farm (there is a simpler water tank here on MTS, but it's not as nice looking)

@chitownriverscum Misty Fluff also has a few junk yard items (trash piles included!):
https://misty-fluff.livejournal.com/11068.html
https://misty-fluff.livejournal.com/16922.html
https://misty-fluff.livejournal.com/22634.html

And Autumn-RoseSims has some 4t2 conversions here, though those may be a bit too clean for you.

And yeah, when searching try "grunge" or apocalypse--grunge was the term used back in the day for anything dirty, broken, stained, etc. Though GoS will probably come up a lot in your search. It was basically THE spot for grunge and goth cc.

The links you gave seem to be mostly post-apocalyptic costumes... I'm literally just looking for stuff to put in a junkyard. But thanks for the searching tips... when I re-visit GoS I'll concentrate on PsychoSims. I think I already have quite a few things from Kativip, although the file sizes are a bit scary. The trashy recolorer sounds interesting... I'll keep my eyes peeled for that one.

Yes - The rusty tractor is very nice. I guess I should go back through Kativip's stuff... I see some old sinks and things that I ignored before when I was on a different quest. Thanks for the link!

@Phantomknight - thanks - all those sites are great... lots of useable crapola! And there's even a mop - I've been trying to find a good one for a while. I will definitely try the 'grunge" tag.
