Sclera Accessory for TS2

Finally, I’m ready to present the Sclera Accessory!

What’s the point?

This accessory helps solve a long-standing issue:

In TS2, when the sclera was painted directly onto the eye texture or used as a makeup overlay, it moved along with the iris, which looked unnatural. Players had to choose between a more realistic texture and better animation compatibility.

Now you can use eye textures with just a plain or gradient white sclera, while the lacrimal caruncle and eyelash shadow are placed on the accessory texture instead.

Thus, when the eye moves, the sclera remains in place.

How it looks in motion

Close-up:

Here’s how my Sims look with and without the sclera accessory:

Details

The mesh is a separated and slightly edited part of the face mesh, which allows it to work perfectly with facial animations.

I also edited the UV map to make texturing easier.

The sclera works with any eye shape and is available for all ages and genders, including infants.

The PU-EU and BU meshes are separate files so you can easily relink your recolors for all ages.

Recolors

I made 4 recolors. I wanted the texture to be something between hyper-realistic and maxis match — something in the middle. I know many of you are talented and will create even more amazing textures in different styles. Here's the PSD.

Known issues

First, I had to change the material type to StandardMaterial to make the texture’s opacity look better. Since this material type isn’t native to CAS items, it may cause transparency issues when meshes with alpha textures intersect.

Second, blue flashing fix: I didn't use a placeholder. Instead, I removed all references to the “lens” group in the mesh and texture files. I didn’t get blue flashing in testing, but if it happens, let me know and I’ll upload a fixed version.

Leehee’s Cola Vase with @budgie2budgie‘s can designs slapped on them because I’m a sucker for that wire handle. The mesh is included and so is an edited version that is sorted in Deco/Plants instead of Deco/Sculpture (shrug). Just pick one (the edited mesh is the one without spaces and also it says “plant” at the end).

Swatches included and everything’s compressed.

My fully renovated Desiderata Valley, populated with the original maxis sims! If you are looking for the empty version, it’s HERE.

This neighbourhood is based on the most recent cleaned Desiderata Valley, by @meetmetotheriver. I did make a very small handful of additional changes! Since meetme had fixed their LTWs to make more sense, I did the same with a couple of the more erroneous-seeming One True Hobbies:

Marcel Jocque’s hobby changed to cuisine (I also gave him higher interest in food)

Sophia Jocque’s hobby changed to fitness

Violet Jocque’s hobby changed to sports (I also gave her higher intest in sports)

Rick Contrary’s hobby changed to games

Everything else is as faithful to the original as possible - I made sure their familyfunds, family albums, and even the time of day the household loads up on stays intact. One small issue is I believe welcome wagons will appear, but hopefully that’s not too much of a dealbreaker!

My fully renovated Riverblossom Hills, populated with the original maxis sims! If you are looking for the empty version, it’s HERE. This neighbourhood is based on cleaned up template by @meetmetotheriver. It has all the Maxis playables, but no townies!

There are also houses for the Ottomas & Ramaswarmi families, these aren’t included in the download but if you want to add them you can use meetme’s templates. I didn’t include a house for Alexandra since I prefer moving her to another hood (in line with her biography). You can move her into any of the empty houses though, or pair it with my Desiderata Valley and move her into the house I built for her there.

Most things are as faithful to the original as possible - I made sure their familyfunds, family albums, and even the time of day the household loads up on stays intact. I did change the seasons though so that they get an actual summer and the neighbourhood no longer starts in the winter with snow everywhere. This is just a personal preference, since I think more temperate weather suits the gardening/agriculture theme more, and my lots look nicer ;) it’s easy enough to switch the seasons back if you prefer.

Bat Box as vase Update-please redownload.

It was pointed out today that my vase Batbox was missing an option - Fix silly faces. Apparently, I had been using an older version of the bat Box and never knew.  I changed the file name to ffsdebuggerAsVase so there will be no confusion as to what file it should be.

I've been enjoying a little vacation this week, so I wanted to get the things I've been working on up before I go back to work.

To start, I ended up making/converting a bunch of custom food from TS3. The cookies & the mushroom omelettes were originally converted by Delonariel, the cookies require Happy Holiday Stuff, since I used some assets from the Santa Cookies. For my first working 3t2 conversion I converted a couple of the synthesizer foods from Into the Future, you can choose between the glowing/shiny ones pictured, or SFX free versions which you can see HERE. I loved the idea of them as alien foods, so I used @simsinsania's 4t2 conversion of the alien bulb, but had to re-convert the spiky fruit for the Spheres. All foods are fully morphed, with custom prep states.

Secondly, I love the aliens from Get to Work, & while they've been converted before, I wanted living pets. So I tried my hand at a little animation, which you can see HERE, & while they aren't 1-to-1 with the originals, I think they turned out very cute. They're cloned from @deedee-sims' fishbowls, so make sure you read the original post for all the details. I did swap some of the Sim animations out for the Ant Farm ones, for reasons that should be obvious. :3c

While I was on my Alien streak, I converted the Strange Juice from TS4 Strangerville as a quick bonus. It works the same as my other 4t2 Juice, which you can read about HERE, & includes it's own custom serving plate (req).

Just a bunch of new sliders! I included a brief description of each one so you can choose what to keep and what to delete. They are shown in order in the preview.

Personal sliders

Face depth. Ideal to create sims with flatter faces.

Outer Eye Corner Position. Moves the outer corner of the eye horizontally. May cause deformation of the eye texture.

Inner Eye Corner Position. Moves the inner corner of the eye horizontally. May cause deformation of the eye texture.

Pupil Height. Moves the middle of the eye up and down. I made this one to fix those eyesets with off-centered pupils. Not perfect, but does the job!

Septum Height. Moves the vertex that connects the nose with the face up and down.

Septum Depth. Moves the vertex that connects the nose with the face in and out.

Septum Height V2. Moves the vertex between the nosetip and the face up and down.

Requested sliders

Nosetip Pinch. Makes the nosetip sharper or rounder.

Nosetip Height. Moves the nosetip up and down.

Greek nose. Gives your sims a straight nose with a prominent glabella. The end result will vary depending of which face template you apply the slider to.

Chin Width. Changes the width of the chin without making it rounder.

Ears Height. Moves the ears up and down.

Upper Lip Size. Changes the size of the upper lip by moving its vertices up and down instead of resizing them.

Upper Lip Asymmetry. Makes one side of the upper lip bigger than the other.

Teeth Remover. Teeth are overrated anyway!! 😤😤😤

Lower Lip Size. Changes the size of the lower lip by moving its vertices up and down instead of resizing them.

Lower Lip Asymmetry. Makes one side of the lower lip bigger than the other.

Lower Lip Shape. Gives the lower lip the appearance of an inverted upper lip (it’s hard to explain lol). The end result will vary depending of which face template you apply the slider to.

Overlay Box - Say Nay To Blades

Do you know the reason those peasant are so filthy? All that hair on them catches the dirt and won’t let it go! They’re not lucky like those smooth skinned elves or those high born monarchs who can afford a sharp blade and skilled hand to rid them of all that primal fur. Or perhaps, they like a little extra insulation against those cold nights in their shacks. Or, they just like being as au nautral as possible. Here I have for you the Say Nay To Blades Overlay Box that will provide body hair without the need for a skin that already has one. I tried to go for a general hairy but not overly so that it turned icky balance here. Borrowing the textures from and existing overlay box by Inky-fish who in turn borrowed hair from AllenABQ’s hairy male skin textures, I fiddled with them until I felt I got the balance right and then colored them different shades. This box works for both males and females with the males being a tad hairier than the females because you know, chest hair mostly and hormone differences accounting for hair dispersion patterns…enough learning. The overlay comes in five shades to best suit your over all needs: Black, Blonde, Brunette, Red, and Grey. Here’s what it looks like in Brunette, a slight transparency does exist on all the overlays. Same hair patterns, different colors. And here’s a little detail shot of the hair. These are supposed to be subtle. The box can me found in Misc>Misc for 1 simoleon. All of it has been run through the compressorizor.

Various Pet Defaults - Part 1

Pet Bed Basket Expensive

Replaced with chrissy6930's mesh edit of said pet bed (scroll down) and re-mapped by me to use 512x512 textures. Existing recolors will break unfortunately, but I couldn't even find many to begin with. I did include 8 recolors (some of them are remakes of windkeeper's (T$R) recolors). They all have a dirty state, it's not as dirty (/turquoise) as Maxis' but it's something at least. I will include my .psd for this in part 2.

Maxis: polycount: 2784, texture size: 1024x512

My default: polycount: 1294, texture size: 512x512

Pet Food

I dislike the original pet food texture, but I liked the one from this upload by @beautifulnerdkitty. I edited it slightly and turned it into a default replacement.

Note: custom pet bowls might not use my default, since I think they often have their own?

Bon Voyage Bone

The bone sims can dig up from bon voyage is identical to the chew bone from pets ep (but a separate object completely), so I replaced it with the bone from castaway. I re-mapped it to use 140x100px texture (yes!) and I also made it buyable (you can find it under misc - pets) but this edit is in a separate file. If you install the buyable file in your downloads folder, it will have a custom star and can be deleted in-game, and doing so will corrupt your game. If you decide to install the buyable file as well, be careful not to delete the bone in-game!

Maxis made a custom description for this bone, but only in English. I fixed this and now the description is available in all languages, courtesy of Google translate (the Swedish translation I'm confident in but please let me know if any translation needs fixing). They also broke the shadow, which I've successfully restored and edited to fit the new mesh.

Maxis: polycount: 672, texture size: 64x32

My default: polycount: 452, texture size: 140x100 (original was 512x512)

Edited CC

All of the edited custom downloads I mention below, I've re-used their files so you have to choose between my versions or their original!

I re-mapped @deedee-sims' pet pillows to match my new 512x512 textures.

I swapped mesh on hmiller61615's dog chew treat, repo'd it to Maxis' treat texture and also made a version using BV's animations to get rid of the squeaky sound. The file ending with _pets is using the animations from pets with the squeaky sound. The file with _bv at the end is using the animations from bon voyage, with a "boney" sound (and therefore requires bon voyage). Choose one of the files!

hmiller61615's original: polycount: 672, texture size: 64x32

My edit: polycount: 160, texture size: repo'd to Maixs' texture (64x32).

I edited one of the bones by @vampirekiss6661 from here (scroll down). I made it smaller and a tad thicker and gave it a shadow. I made a bv version of this as well, choose one file; either pets or bv!

Polycount: 402, texture size: 128x256

I also re-mapped, resized + edited the textures of ats2's pet bowl & recolor, converted by @beautifulnerdkitty's here. I removed the sheen, repo'd it to Maxis' resources when possible, and gave it a dirty state. My .psd is included if you'd like to make more recolors.

Polycount: 482, texture size: 256x256 (original was 1024x1024)

Recommend Mods

@episims' no rotating pet bowl fix (thank god for that) and Aaron's finicky pet fix (ad-free direct link, SFS mirror).

My pet bed default is required for my recolors to work, and the bv bone default requires bon voyage, otherwise nothing in this dowload is dependent on anything so you can pick and choose what you want. As usual, no mip-maps and everything has been compressed to reduce file size. You can choose between merged or separate recolors (which are clearly named).

Do let me know if anything is wonky or you stumble upon any problems. I am so sorry for the long post, this download wasn't supposed to be more than just two defaults (well, technically it is only 2 defaults included here but I kept getting sidetracked as you can see).. and I have so many more I'll have to make a part 2 (cats are not forgotten)!

A bit belated, I know. Oh well.. ;) This texture replacement will change the look of love / chemistry hearts (and also love potion hearts, and first kiss hearts).

💞 TS2 Hearts txtr default | Download (SFS)

Five options to choose from.

* Each default consists of three identical textures. Chemistry hearts effect uses two of those. Love potion effect only uses one texture, and it is colorized in the game (so there's always some red). Not sure what the third "heart" texture does. The third one is used in love tub effects.

Enjoy :)

This is my entry for the Smells Like Teen Spirit theme on GoS!

Zitty-Bitty - Acne Cream Default Replacement in English & Simlish

If you have teen sims, they’re bound to get acne now and again. I can’t help you there - acne is normal! - but I can give them some cream for it! A default replacement, to be specific! This is what sims use autonomously, or, you can look up the Personal Acne Cream mod at Pick N’ Mix.

You get the totally-made-up brand Morning’s, which offers a modern look to a TINY TEXTURE that was far too blurry to look like ANYTHING. With a textured cap that was like TWO PIXELS OF SPACE ON THE UV MAP and a new smooth texture all around (with a line on the back like most tubes have!) your sims will feel calmer about their skin issues in no time flat.

Available in English and Simlish. 

Get it below:
