It should be "BioRithmus Clock" by XPTL, and it looks just like the clock of the same style in game.

And if you can't find it there, I have put it up on my page so you can try it out. I've had it forever, and I even have a newer version (somewhere in my tons of downloads) that he did that didn't quite please my palette..but it works wonderfully, even with all the EP's.

Yeah, I was wondering how hard it would be to just swap the skill on that. And that would be my best guess for that mod too, but idk if I wanna stick it in my game without really knowing.

tbh my own sims would need to eat a lot more (even with fresh food!) if dates/outings didn't max that meter. (I may overuse dates and outings. Possibly. )

I just wanted to say... I've been randomly getting this problem with my Strangetown. First of all, I made it so that every season in Strangetown is summer, just because it's a desert. It might not be realistic but it's a style choice. I never really had a problem before, but in this particular installation of the game, whenever my Sims sleep upstairs, the game treats it as "outdoors" (regardless if I replace the roof, rebuild the walls, or which house I use), meaning my Sims overheat during sleep. I got fed up with this because it was turning my Sims red and getting Social Services alerted. To this day, I have no idea why this is going on. I've tried everything I can think of, but like I said, I got fed up. So! Last night, I started searching for air conditioning mods that had actual Seasons EP temperature functionality. It's not too fancy, but...

@Neverwinter_Knight77
If you'd like an air conditioner that looks like an air conditioner, I made one using Inge's code. It's here, just look at my uploads.

And it's freakin awesome, too! This is one of my favorite pieces of CC ever.

Choppable Trees Made Autonomous

Found an old repository of Katy_76/PC Sims/Sims Modboard stuff. Most of it is at the graveyard and/or in the Jessa channel gift , but there are at least a few things there I'd never seen before like the hockey set and handcuffs. http://www.mixei.ru/threads/68511-P...s-sajta-pc-sims

@MOOKIEBLAYLOCK, Hey dude! Haven't seen you in a minute!

Thanks for the links. My downloads folder wants you to know it's coming for you. :3

@smorbie1, very nice to see you again ! I hadn't played or been around here for a few years , but it's wonderful to see a bunch of the same friendly and helpful peeps such as yourself that always made this site such a great place.

...and as far as dl's go, I've been back to playing for about a month now and I was basically restarting from scratch and I'm already at about 7 gigs in game with another 2ish gigs yet to sort through , I think I need a Downloaders Anonymous meeting already

My game is at 14gb and that's after 6 years, I'm rather impressed with the speed you've made...
Yet again I'll be downloading rather than playing, thanks.

Nah, you got to have at least 10 Gigs to be called an addict, you have a ways to go yet. keep downloading!

^ I used to have roughly 30-35 GB, but managed to cut it down to roughly 22 (haven't gotten the chance to play-test it, though).
But I probably have several hundred GBs worth of CC lurking about, including items for TS3 and 4 (even though I barely use CC for those).

The least I've used in a very long time was around 650 MB when trying to sort out pink-flashing on my new laptop. Even my previous test game had at least 4 GB, and that's mainly hacks, defaults and some absolute basic items for pictures.

Pretty much one of the founders of ASCCHU here (Anonymous Sims Custom Content Hoarders United)
(and yes, I know it sounds like a sneeze, which makes it even funnier )

I've filled up a one-terabyte exterior hard drive and several smaller ones. I just bought a two-terabyte drive and plan to rinse and repeat until it's full.

I am your queen. :3

I have two 2 TB and a bunch of smaller (3 or 4, roughly 300-500 GB each, I think) harddrives with CC (and some other things because I use them both for backups and storage), and recently bought a 4 TB drive just to be on the safe side, since there's only 300 or so left on the newest 2 TB one... I sincerely don't know how much CC I have, because it's all over the lot. Could most likely fill up at least one of the 2 TB hardrives, probably more. I could really need to put it all into some sort of system. I've tried, but simply starting is so overwhelming I go find something else to do. I'm hopelessly disorganized

Maybe we can rule together

I've been busy planning a benevolent kingdom. What are your thoughts? :3

Yes, please do, your Majesty-ness - protector of the Contents, keeper of the Bits. I remain your most umble servant (that's old English for humble).
As the owner of 5KB I am not worthy to bring your tea.

This is reminding me - my 2TB harddrive broke about a year or so ago, so I think it's high time I get another one (I'm super paranoid about how much space I have left on my laptop, mainly because I use it for school too - if it gets under 8gb I panic). Maybe for Christmas - I don't want much anyway.

I have less than 2 GB on my old laptop (mostly because I keep moving over downloaded CC to the external harddrive) so... *smiles sheepishly*

Anyhow... Benevolent, you say?

Sure, unless, of course, I can stage a coup. hahaha

I've been procrastinating about putting my downloaded zips onto disks for some time now, even if added to game I still keep the zips. Conversations here made me curious of how much is on my PC. I don't dl everything, I'm sort of picky about what goes in my game and the zips are from about 2014, there may be duplicates and there are other random stuff in folders too, I'd say the majority is Sims 2 along with pictures and descriptions of most. Approximately 68 GB, better get started soon I guess. (:

I actually make backups of my download folder from time to time, so while I have duplicates, I also sometimes have mods or other cc I removed and may want back later, or older versions of a mod, which is helpful in case I need to roll back because of glitches or something.

But anyway, @Duine, don't use discs, get a USB. They have really come down in price over the years and you can get a USB that holds a large amount of GB for a reasonable price. I'm always surprised at the simmers who still back up to discs--it's very inefficient, imo. They don't hold as much and it takes a lot longer to copy. But I also recognize that I may be a bit biased.

Back in the day, I used to back up to discs before I knew about zipping files and when USBs were still expensive. I copied my old downloads and my old neighborhoods, not realizing that some things didn't fully transfer--I thought if there wasn't enough room the whole thing would cancel, but instead only some files transferred and the copying would just stop. And so one of my hoods I used for writing a story didn't fully transfer. A majority of the lots were just missing and when I loaded up households, the lot would be empty, except for the sims. It coulda been worse, but, still it taught me to be wary.

So yeah, always zip your files (or make a rar or whatever) and I would get a USB. A quick look on amazon and you can get a 256 GB for about $40 (I paid over $50 two years ago) and a 64 GB for $10. Definitely worth the investment.

I have a backup on desktop, a back up on an external hard drive and a backup on Google Docs. Can never have too many backups or places. So far Google Docs has been the only place that will accept a 10 gigs zipped up download folder.

@Phantomknight For now my budget is very tight, couldn't afford a USB, although I do have one but it won't hold all of the zips I have. Also have quite a few unused discs, those will work for the time being, just to clear my PC.

I'm trying to get moved out of an unhealthy house, even my puppy is affected living here. Having a picture ID problem in which it doesn't match my birth certificate. Now that we have new laws, it's very frustrating trying to get the right info to fix it rather than paying $400. + to go to court. Considering I have quite a few years worth of papers proving the first name was changed long before the new law. Internet company is robbing me blind, trying to find something very cheap til I can move.

Sorry to hear that you're having problems @Duine! Are you able to use other pieces of identification to get around your ID problem? Idk it's a similar situation, but when I was renewing my drivers license and upgrading to the enhanced license they want everyone to have, I was worried because my social security card doesn't match my birth certificate (my mom used a unique spelling for my middle name on my birth certificate and then my dad went to social sercurity and spelled it the regular way ). But I was able to use my w-2 as ID, and I didn't need it my social security card at all. So maybe there's a way around your problem and other records you can use?

I wish you luck with everything else, too. Internet companies can be just the worst, charging a lot for poor service. Sometimes, though, if you call up and ask to cancel your service, they'll try to keep you and offer you a better deal. So you could try that.

Well, what kind of kingdom, modern or Medieval?

I've been going by my nickname for more than half my life, so the only things matching birth certificate is all the childhood documents etc.. I changed the social security, then license so taxes and everything else since has been under my nickname. Driver license expired and I didn't get it renewed and 1.5 years ago I needed a picture ID, that had to match the birth certificate since new laws after 911. Name change prior was legal without having to go to court and need a police and fingerprint check to be sure I'm not trying to avoid any debt. If I were trying to change everything I would have to go to court and pay $400. +. Since every document, etc. are under the name I use, I don't see why I have to go thru all that. I was told if I had a passport there would be no problem. This tells me that fake people with a passport can come and go with no problem, but I'm stuck because of 1 thing. Laws don't seem to be thought out carefully, they protect the wrong people. A lot of of people are having identity problems due to this law. Years ago record keeping was pretty messy, names spelled wrong, dates wrong and kids grew up with names different than the records. I have a large shoe box full of legal type papers and still I get a hard time over this. I did find a cheap internet for $16. a month, not sure what speed but I don't really care for now. Had to buy the modem and monthly payment is cheaper if more months are paid ahead. Can't wait for it to be delivered so I can call the cable company and chew them out before disconnecting. (:

I found some awesome stuff:
Put the Candle Back! - Candle Crafting Station An update to Beck's Candle Making Station
DeeDee's PlumBot Clothes Project
MidgeTheTree always has stuff but Flyable Brooms has been made compatible with Vehicles Cost Money to Drive and there's a mod for Testing Wedding Cakes, which I don't think was posted.

Hmm, you'd think I'd get a tumblr by now. But who wants to update that? (Also, hope things are looking up a little by now Duine.)

I have finally found the one terrain I have been dreaming of for over 15 years.

Since I live in this state, it shouldn't be necessary to explain why:

The State of Maine Terrain by Lientebollemeis:
https://s2idownloads.blogspot.com/2...sa-project.html

In addition, the download link also has terrains of:
Georgia
Texas
Oregon
Utah
Nebraska
Alabama

But that wasn't all-in looking at the download for the Iberia Terrain, SFS has also many more included terrains
Neighborhoods Folder

As someone who isn't American, I don't have a clue. Is it done in the shape of Maine?

Ooh, FranH, thanks for posting about Lientebollemeis' very clever project. I am always on the hunt for new SC4 templates that are put together nicely. The Europe project looks good too... I ended up downloading Germany and Iceland. From the USA project, Nebraska and the Elvis 'hood templates are my favorites.

The roads are shaped like the state, not the terrain itself.

These look like they would be very good for a tight urban area.

They might not be as accurate as possible, because of SC4's limitations. It was advanced for then, not so much now. I wish there could be a more accurate way to make terrains to be more resembling the actual geographical areas they represent..

But it does brighten up the terrain to have other skylines and things like lighthouses to more accurately resemble this state-plus full seasons.

However, I found on this very site the answer to a very pressing problem-PTO accumulating and nobody ever goes on vacation. So they're really homebodies, right? With Cathair's hack, Fruit of Life, you can cash out vacation time. All of it:


There's going to be some very serious payouts for TT people. They've never taken time off, and have accrued about 15 years worth of PTO.

Why I didn't see this before now, I'll never understand-but that solves one pressing problem in my game!

That's an old mod, but I can't live without it. It's one the essentials I hide in every house.

I remember using these beautiful custom mailboxes when playing ts3:

and I didn't think anyone had converted them to ts2 - but katvip had! Already back in 2013, too. They can be found here. They are only deco though, but you can use this invisible recolor of the mailbox and then place them on the same tile. The animations will be off but I don't mind tbh, I'm just so happy to have found them converted!

I won't hold my breath for Maryland

Does anyone know what line in simPE would need changing to reduce pregnancy length? I'm sure for those using Hat's very long age mod 15 days makes sense but even on my double aging that pregnancy is 7 1/2 years long.

This is the best thread, ever.

As I understand it it's not possible to edit the pregnancy duration for Sun&Moon livestock using SimPE without doing loads of complicated recoding. Instead, the "force" options are designed to be used if the durations are too long for people's games.

Okay... *backs away from simPE slowly*

Now I need a horse float.

Horse float? What is a horse float?

**ETA** Never mind, I just saw your WCIF :-)

That's not what I was imagining when I thought about what a horse float might be....

Maybe I am using Aussie words?? I didn't realize it had a different name.

For anyone else looking for horsey stuff, I also found Veranka's set. https://verounique.livejournal.com/18267.html#cutid1

I just found something REEEEEEALLY awesome... It's at https://gdayars.home.blog/2019/11/2...clothing-racks/ and what it is... Omigosh, it's got several awesome functions! For one thing, it's a mannequin that you can purchase from, like a clothing rack.

But wait! There's more! There's clothing rack re-colors and different price settings. Ever notice how you can buy a crappy rack or an expensive rack, and everything's priced the same? Not anymore! And the prices are customizable, so if you don't like them, you can fix them.

But wait! There's more still! It also lets your sims shop for maternity clothes! AAAnd!! it lets kids shop for clothes, too!

It's a really cool mod because it turns functionless deco items into actually useful things... You know, like the H&M sweater table or the wall shelf should've been? Well, now those mannequins do more than just take up space and give you a visual! They FUNCTION! There's a BG version and there's versions for OFB and Seasons, fully functional.

Just wanted to share, because this is one of those things that you never knew you needed until you found them!

Okay, now I have a clothing rack mannequin, retro dresses, bottoms with white boots and a pretty aquarium table. My downloads folder thanks you, @grinevilly.

Medieval Massage Table by Hodgekiss

Nice finds. I'm always up for cool 60s clothes!

Ever since I have been playing I wanted my sims to ice skate on a frozen pond. I tried downloading a ice skating rink with invisible railing and using the moveobjects on cheat to place the rink on the pond. But it still didn't work right. Yesterday, when looking around the Keep, I found the perfect object to do what I wanted. Only Have Ice For You-Ice Skating Pond DR ... http://www.medievalsims.com/forums/...hp?f=75&t=10001 ... I even play tested in my testing game and loved it.

I discovered that Firefox will apparently show Photobucket images clearly that have been blurred out in Opera (and presumably other browsers). I tested this in Safe Mode to make sure it wasn't the result of an extension. These images will still be blurry if you attempt to download or save them on your hard drive.

Can anyone else confirm?

Sadly not for me.

I have a chrome extension that fixes photo bucket photos for me; it's called Photobucket Hotlink Fix. That's been getting most of the pictures, but like you say, when you download an image you get a blur. So what I do is sceenshot the page and then make my own pic. Tinyurl, though....

Works for me.

True - guess I have not read everything properly.

I've been going nuts lately with these stinking photobucket pix. I use FireFox. Can't see 'em at all. Well... i mean, i can't see past the blurred out images. Especially sucks when you're trying to follow a tutorial and everything is images. There's no getting around that!

@grinevilly - are you on the latest version of Firefox? I'm not able to confirm myself (I don't use Firefox) but I'd check that.

Yes. . .

Hm. Afraid I'm not sure, then.

Odd. Some sites are still blurry. I was cruising around GOS the other day and the photobucket images that I noticed looked okay (still blurry in Opera), but now I'm looking at some tech sites that came up in the image search results and some of the images are still blurred out. I wish I knew what made the difference.

This one is cleared up in my copy of Firefox.

I just discovered Honeywell's Kitchen Shelves, http://www.modthesims.info/download.php?t=564764. They're great for simmers who hate having a bunch of counters in the kitchen of their sim's homes.

MeetMe has released her newly recleaned (with a few minor updates) Belladonna Cove in both Hood and Subhood.

So that's the last one then? I think she's redone all of the Maxis neighborhoods now.

I don't think so. She mentions in the Belladonna Cove post, that she has to redo Downtown and the Uni hoods.

Here's a link to her simblr giving links to all the ones she's currently updated.

Detective Pikachu was ok (and the 2017 Power Rangers was even better), but I'm still waiting for the rest of my childhood cartoons to turn into blockbuster movies, Hollywood. I can't believe there's no serious talk of a Gundam Wing (or any Mobile Suit Gundam) movie--but what I really can't believe is the lack of adaptations of the "girl" cartoons. Where's my Sailor Moon, Cardcaptors, and Powerpuff Girls movies? I'd even watch a live action Totally Spies tv series.

Oh well. Speaking of Powerpuff Girls, I wonder if I can dig up the holiday movie. That and the Danny Phantom Christmas special are some of my favorite holiday-themed cartoon episodes (though now that I think of it Star vs the Forces of Evil are pretty good, too). If only I hadn't needed to update my DVR, though; I had them all saved.

How did I miss this? DeeDee made a 'magic gnome crafting station' back in April of this year.

Look what Omglo made! Throwing Food isn't Romantic!

I just came to post this! Very excited to put this one in my game.

Here's a couch from the base game after doing that tutorial (though I admit I tweaked the values slightly):

Actually that's from FT.   I look at those pictures from iCad and my game looks like that without any tweaking.

Oops. It's a nice couch though. And it was a bit blurrier before.

If you use Simler90's "Romantic Standards" mod, there will be a conflict since "Romantic Standards" apparently already fixes this.

Omglo's mod is a great simple fix for those who only want this one annoying feature dealt with and don't want to have to put a huge wide-reaching global mod in their game to do it.
