I don't care for the 'clay' look either.

I prefer to think of it as Silly Putty. With all the consistency of same.

Finally, a tutorial on lowering high poly hair conversions! It's on rented space's tumblr:

The concept art of the Sims 2
 

I have something interesting: the concept art of the Sims 2.

Metal Station
 

I also found something interesting: about creating a Metal radio station.

Somehow, I found this pallet bed via google search: https://www.thesimsresource.com/dow...ims2/id/629509/
IKEA SUNNERSTA kitchen(+@) for TS2: http://beautifulnerdkitty.tumblr.co...arcussims91-set

I like the original version of the University "juice" keg better than the giant pineapple that ended up in the released version of the game.

Me too! Also, I'm very pleased that we already have access to the arch in the centre of this image:

Oh! What a beautiful thing! Thank you Simsample. Me likes this arch.

I love plant fences! Here are a couple of hedgey ones and some tiny hedges (I've been looking for ages for small hedges!).

I know this is ancient and how some people feel about TSR, but here's a 5 degree OMSP.

Someone replaced the bees, butterflies and flies in the game with cute little ghosts, ufos and fairies.

I somehow overlooked this site until very recently. It has a lot of interesting info and tutorials:

Too bad we didn't get the mechanical bull :/

Another great concept arts from the game artists. It would be very fun. I would like to see how it would look in the game. But probably the developers decided this is too crazy for our crazy game. )))

Sim State University. Looks similar.

How to draw a picture: a tutorial from the developers of Sims 2.



I did not think that such a huge work is done to create paintings.

"This is a simple mod that opens up the more extreme personality interactions and animations (usually only available to sims with 0-1 and 9-10 points in a certain personality) to more sims by changing the threshold to 0-2 and 8-10, respectively."

This sounds way too awesome...I bet it clashes with a few mods I have though...NOPE!
HCDU says it does not conflict with a few mods I have.

I'll try this out! Thanks for the link!

Not to do with Sims at all, but it's cute enough that I wanted to share it: Tabby Cats extension for Chrome and Firefox.

@ihatemandatoryregister love it!

I added it but don't see it. never mind, its only new tab not new page urgg.

I don't think I saw this yet but Blue Heaven Sims released another Merrie Minstrels set called Bitterweet Symphony and it's pretty much a full symphonic orchestra. I'm...floored at the detail and amount of work that went into it.

I've had it for awhile and I absolutely adore it. Every now again I think about paying for some of the other animals to rotate with it, but I know I would just change it back to my tabbys (which are free).

BHS never fails to impress!

This is absolutely fantastic! It's creations like this that keeps enhancing this game.
