Sorry.... I just thought I would share what I thought was cool of Radium to do... I didn't think to ask Michelle since she never experienced the flashing blue issues like many of us did.. Again, I'm sorry... :/

Radium 12th Jan 2019 6:40 PM

Sorry myself for not sending the info to Michelle first.

ETA: Yep @Michelle, if you apply the same method to the 'Grand Trianon Upper Bunk' it should be fixed as well.

Then the creator should be the one you tell first. That's just common courtesy.


I can't speak for anyone else but... I actually thought about tagging Michelle into the thread, but I didn't because I worried it would be considered rude -- like I was assigning her unpaid work. I've had people treat me that way in endeavors I undertook as a volunteer and it really bugged me. I guess my point is the etiquette of things like this isn't always 100% obvious even to people who want to treat others well! But I'm glad to know going forward that it's fine to give a heads up to creators about things like this.

Anyway, I think Michelle is awesome and I'm so glad she fixed the beds and I look forward to testing them out! Thank you @Michelle!

Michelle is awesome and I know she'd like to be able to fix things if she knows about them, which is why I even said anything. I should've just tagged her myself.. when I'm on my phone I tend to be lazy like that.

Michelle's object is cloned from a bed which also has the issue, created by The "Dream Team", the members of which aren't active. Sometimes people are reluctant to point out issues or to tag people, but Michelle has been perfectly gracious about this and I'm sure no ill will was meant by anyone.

Michelle 13th Jan 2019 12:29 AM

Not sure if this is allowed in this thread or not, if anyone is interested in testing the "fixed" upper bunks out, I have upload them to Sim File Share

@Radium - Your tutorial was pretty easy to follow, thank you. I think I have done all the upper bunks, once they have been tested I will replace the uploaded files.

@mustluvcatz - @simsample - @NixNivis, thanks for the support and big hugs for all of you.

Midgethetree has fixed zombies so that they use overlays like all the other supernatural sims instead of skintones like aliens and ordinary humans. The mod includes a semi-transparent version of the zombie skintone from Lilith-sims' "Feathers" set.
http://midgethetree.tumblr.com/post...the-zombie-skin

Dreadpirate has also made a semi-transparent zombie overlay for her "Honeygold Redux" set to use with this mod.

“Ask to Leave Partner” Social

Hello! I’m not feeling particularly inspired to make a mod for telling other sims they’re pregnant, but the “ask to leave partner” social seemed useful and potentially story-generating so I gave it a go! It appears between two sims in love if Sim B is engaged/married to someone else. If Sim B loves their partner and has a stronger relationship with them than Sim A they’ll reject Sim A, otherwise they’ll agree and, if their partner is on the lot, they’ll go break up with their partner right away.

http://midgethetree.tumblr.com/post...al-hello-im-not


Keep in mind: This mod will probably be updated frequently, as it's the first of its kind (that I have known of), so keep a lookout on Midge's Tumblr.

FranH 14th Jan 2019 9:51 PM

Oh, Midge has released others as well!
http://midgethetree.tumblr.com/

"Cops Can Fight Burglars"-Allows sims in the cop career track OR who used to be a cop NPC to fight burglars and regain your stuff.
"Journalists Can Write Restaurant Guides"-Gives the Freetime restaurant-guide-writing perk to those in the journalism career as well.
"No Engagement/Marriage Wants Toward Non-Crushes/Loves"-Your sims will not roll wants to get engaged to or marry sims they don’t at least have a crush on.

http://midgethetree.tumblr.com/post...al-hello-im-not



Midge's “Ask to Leave Partner” has been updated

"UPDATE 1/21/19: Originally this interaction was non-autonomous, but now there’s both autonomous and non-autonomous versions! The interaction can be autonomously performed if:

Sim A is not also in a committed relationship (”go steady” or higher - I figure if Sim A is ready to ask Sim B to leave their partner for Sim A they also ought to be ready to leave their own partner first)
Sim B’s partner is not in the room with Sim A and Sim B (that’d be… awkward)
Sim A is best friends with Sim B’s partner (I figure if this is the case Sim A should feel conflicted enough about it to need divine intervention - AKA you, the simmer, directing them - to actively try and break up Sim B’s relationship)
The interaction advertises to lonely sims, particularly if they have high charisma skill or aren’t a romance/pleasure sims, but I set up a BCON called “tuning - advertisement” if you disagree with how I set it up or think it’s happening too often/not often enough."

Phantomknight 2nd Feb 2019 4:51 AM

Did anyone post this? Hexagonal-bipyramid enabled the Find Snack and Nod Off interactions on the sofa: Mod: Return of The Veg Out Interaction

Also, you can never have too many jackets for males, right? Especially maxis match ones: http://deedee-sims.tumblr.com/post/...-tm-and-em-do-i

On a completely unrelated note, I don't know how many simmers know about e-neillan, but I feel like I should mention the tumblr. Not all the clothes there will fit everyone's games, especially if you play a more maxis match type game, but, that said, I've found some really cool AF 4t2 clothes conversions there in the past year: http://e-neillan.tumblr.com/tagged/downloads (My younger sims are undergoing a crop top phase right now. )

And thanks for linking to the Founder's Day thread, @FranH! There were some really good stuff in there, from new clothes completer sets by Skell, a sexy maxis match Art Deco fireplace by HugeLunatic, the H&M clothes table made functional by leefish... and on and on. Loads of good stuff.

FranH 3rd Feb 2019 12:09 AM

Now, to be specific, this is a WIP, but it looks like a very promising idea that a lot of people have been clamoring for ever since Sims 3 came out:

Traits Project (Part 1 ) - TS3 Traits for TS2
" Keep in mind that these are simply objects and they won’t do anything gameplay wise. Later parts of the project will be about mods involving these. If you are a modder and would like to mod something using these traits, you are more than welcome! Here’s the list of traits with their GUIDs" - https://hexagonal-bipyramid.tumblr.com/traitsList

This is rather fascinating I think. I'm going to be watching how it develops.

Edit: This is part 2 of the 'Traits project'-this time it's a randomizer that will help you pick which traits your pixels will have:

Traits Project (Part 2 ) - The Trait Randomizer

Phantomknight 3rd Feb 2019 3:48 AM

Don't worry miriamnz, I get it.

I feel a bit similar--in my dream sims game, we'd get sims with TS2 personality & aspirations, but also TS3 traits and LTWs so that we could get the nuances in each aspiration and personality. I'm a bit of an odd ball in that I feel like Maxis got it right the first time around with aspirations and don't want any more; I just want more pronounced differences within each trait, so that sims with the same aspiration don't feel like the same person. TS3 traits let you do that--a fortune sim can be a miser or a spendthrift and a romance sim can be a one-true-romance-hopeless-romantic type or the stereotypical player who gets around. Etc. So I'm really looking forward to the traits project. If modders can come up with a way to use the objects to guide sims behavior, in that certain objects make sims act a certain way/roll certain wants... It'd be really cool.

FranH 3rd Feb 2019 6:17 AM

One way would be to link certain hobby behaviors to some of the traits, like "Angler" which could trigger the want to go fishing and get a badge for it. Stuff like that could work, I think.

ConsoC 3rd Feb 2019 9:53 AM

Wow, the TS2 community never ceases to amaze me, talk about the power of communities of old games!

I'm sure we'll have recolors soon and possible mesh fixes if they're maxismessedup. (:

Phantomknight 4th Feb 2019 5:12 AM

@Radium/midgethetree fulfilled a request of mine! Diary Builds Creativity + Sims Won’t Hide Diaries which makes it so that sims won’t try and hide their diary if other sims are in the room and will build creativity as they write. :lovestruc Thanks Radium! I honestly don't know how you keep up with all the requests.

Of course, there's other cool new mods (like Butlers and Nannies Fill Pet Dishes ), so if you haven't check out the tumblr in a while, you should definitely do so!

ETA: Since it's a mod with a similar theme, Radium also enabled Practicing Writing for MogHughson’s manuscript & for computers. Sims who love Film & Lit thank you, Radium!

ETA:

Hexagonal-bipyramid has updated her TS3 traits to TS2 mod.

"Traits Project (Part 3-1) - Workout Pack
While working out:

Athletic Sims don’t have comfort and energy penalty. They also have more fun while exercising. They’ll struggle less than non Athletic ones.
Couch Potato Sims lose more comfort and energy. They also lose fun (the cheaper the exercise equipment is, the more fun they lose). You can see them struggle a bit more than non Couch Potato ones.
Disciplined Sims don’t have comfort and energy penalty while doing yoga. Their fun greatly increases when doing this activity.
Required mod: Easy inventory check

Required EPs: University and/or Freetime or none depending on what files you install or not. Freetime for the ballet bar and the bike, University for the treadmill."

In a similar vein, 2fingerswhiskey made garden gloves and dirty hands. These are in the accessories/glasses category. They were posted back in March, but I just stumbled across them the other day.
https://2fingerswhiskey.tumblr.com/...mudges-bees-are

Midgethetree also unlocked a "chastise" interaction which "Enables a “chastise” interaction between adults/elders and children/teens if they are related." This is great for me because Squinge's unlocked "lecture" kept throwing errors in my game. I'm eager to try midge's version.

But here are some more (Thanks @Radium!):
Pets Try For Offspring/Larger Litters/Random Runaway Pet Pregnancy
Kick Out Multiple Roommates, a workaround/fix for those who use (or want to use) Squinge's Multiple Roommates!!
And, it's experimental, but Multiple Roommates Pay Rent

Anyway, I did try to hunt down some non Midge content to post about and found:
A Plain Old Drop Ceiling Kit, along with some other stuff, by 2fingerswhiskey (the ceiling kit preview pictures is allll the way at the bottom of the post)
Some period outerwear for historial hoods by yandereplumsims and simborg
And, after lurking around MTS all day, I found out about Royalties Administrator pays out royalties daily by CtfG right here on MTS

"Traits Project (Part 3-2) - Lemme Get Some Sleep!

Heavy Sleepers won’t wake up when there are noises in the same room as them.
Light Sleepers will wake up when there are noises even outside of their room. If it’s outside of the room, the noise has to be somewhat near (about 6 tiles) for the Sims to be woken up.
Both Heavy Sleepers and Light Sleepers can sleep regardless of their Energy level.
Noises can be from TVs, stereos, crying youngsters, doorbells, alarm clocks, fire/burglar alarms and other noises.

Required mod: Easy inventory check

Required EPs: Apartment Life if you also install the noise object file (noises coming from adjacent apartments that Sims need to bang on the wall to make it disappear). None otherwise."

Suggestion: Get an RSS feed reader. I use the one built into Mozilla Thunderbird. Before that, I used QuiteRSS. (No clue if it's still any good.) There's even a service that'll automatically email RSS feeds to you (though the free version inserts ads to the emails, blegh).

Once you have one, open up a post on tumblr. Click one of the tags (we'll use #traits project) and get the url. Then add rss to the end of the url:
https://hexagonal-bipyramid.tumblr....its-project/rss
(sorry, it truncated)

In the browser, it looks like a mess. But once you put that URL into your RSS reader, it'll be able to fetch new posts from hexagonal-bipyramid tagged as #traits project.

I don't use my tumblr anymore, but I keep up with a few blogs this way.

monijt1 7th Feb 2019 12:44 AM

MeetMeToTheRiver rereleased her clean temple of Veronaville

"Clean Veronaville Templates - Rerelease (Fixed Dead Version)
Happy Valentine’s Day, everyone! After a long wait, here is the rerelease of my clean Veronaville template! What are clean templates, you ask? See this post for further explanations and install instructions! Veronaville comes in two versions - main hood and subhood. The main hood version is new for the fixed dead version (where all dead sims can be resurrected safely), as the previous release only had the subhood version of this.

Changes included in the new version:
- Olivia Monty’s pregnancy has been restored! In the original Veronaville, her bio implies she was pregnant when she died, and she would show a pregnant mesh if resurrected (I removed this in the previous clean version), but she was missing a pregnancy controller so it wouldn’t actually result in a baby. NOW IT WILL. If you resurrect her.
- Important dead characters (Contessa Capp, Cordelia Capp, Caliban Capp, Claudio Monty, Olivia Monty, Hero Monty) now have memories, careers (some of them), skills, and proper relationships to living characters, making them much more desireable to resurrect.
Cleaned up some slightly buggy dead tokens on a few of the dead sims, thanks to a tip from @orpheus49.
- Took a page out of @dreadpirate’s book, and gave Goneril Capp, Regan Capp and Bianca Monty jobs in their respective family businesses. Also increased Goneril’s family’s household money considerably (her bio implies Albany married her for her money, so she should actually have some!), and gave a slight increase to the other bin families as well, so they will be able to live a little more comfortably and seem less like they came straight out of CAS.
- Reset Hal, Desdemona and Ariel’s faces to their originals (they were altered in my previous “fixed dead” version, a personal change I’d made and simply forgotten about when releasing it)."

I tried doing this and had just gotten the witch to walk, when, suddenly... the broom appeared and flew off after her! Hilarious, but not what I was going for. Midgethetree has made it happen. My witches can live among the normals, now.

If Sim drinks poison, they will vomit and then die of disease. If Sim has poison goblet in their inventory, new interaction clickable on other Sims will appear. It's called 'Poison'. The chance of making other Sim drink poison is based on other's Sim logic, lucky and unlucky traits are also taken into account. When Sim accepts, poison disappears from poisoner's inventory and accepter drinks it, vomits and then dies. If Sim refuses to drink suspiciously looking wine, poison stays in poisoner's inventory.

On a completely different subject (but still related to gameplay, sort of)-I came across this article in the New Yorker (of all places!) about Sims 4;

Pretending to Be Famous in The Sims

The article makes gameplay harder in 4 than it actually is. Rather laughable. Guess the writer must have small children...

My 8-yr-old niece who plays TS4 (and has the add-ons) recently decided she wanted to start creating content for her game to make it more interesting to play. That says it all.

A lot of people have seen this, I'm sure, but I never had. It made me cry a little, cuz.... awwwwwwwwwww, it was the beginning of this amazing creative experience.

"Almost at any point of the game where we could let the players do more customization, we did. And anyplace we could make the Sims, kind of, exhibit deeper, more interesting, behavior, we did. "

Found some good stuff:

Nysha's Apartment Rent Control I don't think this was posted on here, and forgive me it it was. Basically it works like Inge's mortgage shrubs, but for apartments. Cool if you want to build subsidized/cheap apartements.

Squinge's Call Taxi Enabled for Children. Another one for the 'How Did I Miss This?! I've Looked Through Squinge's Mods A Bajillion Times!" category. It allows kids to call for a taxi and visit/invite friends to community lots alone. Squinge confirmed that the EP3 file works with M&G.

Next, Nekosayuri's More Signs Than You'll Ever Need. Simlish signs for your businesses and community lots. 'Nough said.

Next, Rented Space graciously answered my question on how to get hairs to show up next to each other in the bin and linked me to Almighty Hat's Simple SimPE Tricks. Loads of good info in there! It's a really helpful tutorial on a lot of the more basic aspects of SimPE.

Finally, of course I can't post without a MidgeTheTree plug, . We've got a serious trend going on. Now, there's Imaginary Friend Doll Can Summon Social Bunny and, I missed this one a little while ago, Only Plantsims/Fairies Talk to Plants for those playing a realistic hood, or just looking for a challenge.

Slig made default replacements for the Maxis base game farm field neighborhood deco. These are the farm fields that were used extensively in Veronaville near Capp Manor and the Monty ranch. Slig made higher resolution versions that look much better. The screenshots don't do them justice. (Second item on the page, just beneath the blimp.)

EDITED to add screenshots since the one on Slig's website is so tiny

If you mean smaller farm fields - i know about them. I have them, but they're not too useful for me, why?
Hood I'm working on, barely has any flat terrain. Basegame farm fields work on every terrain, no matter what, either it's a hill or flat. Those smaller farm fields behave differently: when they're placed on a terrain that isn't flat, this field will levitate a bit. And I can't use them like this, because farm fields are main thing working as background in this hood and are supposed to be seen almost from everywhere (they're placed on a small hill).

RoxEllen1965 18th Feb 2019 3:06 PM

If I need object based farm fields for flat terrain, I'd rather use the ones by greatcheesecakepersona anyway. Each type has its advantages and disadvantages. The object fields look great on flat terrain. For hills/contours/terraces, etc. I use the large base game ones that conform to the bumpy places on the map. With Slig's retextures, I now have the best of both worlds. (Well, almost - it would be nice if the large fields were visible from lot view. )

I found this simblr. Never heard of Serabeit before, but I like their stuff, plus they only come in a few different colours. Usually I spend ages thinking "What colours am I going to need this in?" and usually download too many... I have like 4 pairs of yellow jeans in my game "just in case" that I've never used because none of my sims need yellow jeans.

Phantomknight 24th Feb 2019 3:53 PM

Me too! About the yellow jeans thing, I mean. I got a few recolors of colored jeans/leggings that my sims hardly wear, but I keep just in case.

And someone correct me if I'm wrong but I think Serabeit is Iosiren, right?

Unfortunately, you can't make anything Maxis that's in the "Effects" category visible in lot view. Not the sailboats, the clouds, the various birds, the trains, the ocean surf, and, yes, those morphing farm fields and terrain overlays. The best that can happen with them is to make on-lot versions of those things, like Sophie-David's "Down From the Hood" objects. But I don't think that would work with the farm fields or the terrain overlays because they just don't work the same way.

"lucky/unlucky traits" sure doesn't sound like Sims2, but I got it anyway.

Phantomknight 24th Feb 2019 5:44 PM

@Bigsimsfan12, yes, I think Iosiren also goes by Io--I think downloads are labeled as such anyway.

I get confused too sometimes, because a Tumblr name will be different from a Forum name, which can be different from a LiveJournal or Dreamwidth name. It's even worse when the name on the download changes depending on what site it's uploaded to, or if creators put their real name on it, since they use multiple usernames (because, since I'm not active on the sites they use, I rarely know their real names and then I'm looking at stuff in my downloads folder, wondering where I got it from, ). Nowadays I just pick a name for them and that's the one I use on my Downloads.

Maybe if we could ever get access to the source code, someone (certainly not me!) could figure it out, but otherwise....Yeah, probably not going to happen. Just like fully-rendered high-res lot imposters will probably never happen. That's MY impossible dream.

There are a lot of famous creators running under 'nom de plumes' in the community. Usually to keep their devoted fans from overwhelming them with requests. I don't blame them for doing it.

Not specifically Sims-related, but I came across Playnite, a pretty cool video game manager.

RoxEllen1965 25th Feb 2019 10:27 AM

DeeDee-Sims tattoos. She doesn't say, but they probably require Bon Voyage. I think that the other tattoo boxes that I have require BV because they use the suntan overlays.

FranH 25th Feb 2019 12:39 PM

I've always disliked that there wasn't a replacement for the kids playground stuff for medieval or other themed hoods.

Mortia took care of one: Hill slide With terrain replacements, too!

It's not a DR, either-you can have both in game.

I freaking love this. The only thing I would want is to change the color and saturation of the tattoos a little and make them that weird greenish hue that healed tattoos have after a while. It's the only thing that's always bugged me about tattoo overlays, they're never really the right colour and look more like face paint at a birthday party than something inked under several layers of skin. But otherwise, it's a must-have. And maybe I can finally learn to recolour while I'm at it!

Midgethetree has a new mod (among others) that allows growing into supernatural states:

Quote:
Hereditary Supernaturalism

Makes it so sims can automatically inherit supernatural lifestates as they grow up. Werewolfism is inherited upon becoming a child, witchism upon becoming a teen, vampirism/plantsimism/mermaidism/geniism/fairyism upon becoming a toddler. I know you only mentioned making vampirism hereditary, but hopefully this appeals to you? Request an alternate version if not.


Quote:
UPDATE 2/12/19: Now with a “vanilla” version that makes werewolves and vampires come into their powers in teenhood, not toddler/childhood, for those without child supernatural mods.

@joandsarah77, have you seen this newest mod from MidgetheTree? Seems like something you'd really like!

http://midgethetree.tumblr.com/post...is-possible-but

MidgetheTree (@Radium) has made a mod that will call a playable in the law enforcement career to catch a burglar instead of an NPC. How cool is that?!

We might need a new thread that is Look at This Awesome Thing that MidgetheTree Made Today!

joandsarah77 27th Feb 2019 1:40 PM

Yes, I saw that today! My like should be on there but lost amongst so many. I am keen to see it play out. Lol, Midge could totally have her own appreciation thread. :lovestruc

RoxEllen1965 27th Feb 2019 2:11 PM

She fixed that dratted genie lamp so babies and toddlers don't get the memory of finding it anymore.

YES!!!!! I was just wanting an 'arrest this sim' interaction or something similar!

RoxEllen1965 27th Feb 2019 7:55 PM

Some YAs of mine once got a genie lamp. I couldn't find the memory of finding it anywhere until I started checking the other sims in the dorm. I finally found it on the cafeteria cook!

FranH 2nd Mar 2019 11:42 PM

Midgethetree has been at it, again-she's made a mod that will make any historical player happy (if that's the word..)

"Death by childbirth"

Others mods up are:
Exnem & Numenor Soda Machine Fix,
Higher Priority Homework Help
Go Steady Memory Edit
No Carpools/Buses

She is one busy little bee/modder!

I am so excited about the Soda Machine. I requested that fix for my tiny diner and she did it! I'm super happy. Earlier this week, I extracted the Simlish cups to be used as clutter with it. Now it''ll be perfect!
