How to build a walkout basement in The Sims 2 🌼

I didn’t think of this when I was making the video, but if you use the flowers I used, sims won’t be able to water them without the water inaccessible flowers fix

Another option is to use the perfect plants mod

You can also use custom flowers that don’t need watering, I recommend these & these

Pink Soup Tip

hello gang. it's me. the guy who stopped playing because pink flashing on my nice gaming laptop made this thing unplayable (we're talking pink flash immediately upon loading a small lot). i've somehow stumbled my way into fixing it(?)

tldr; have you tried using Legacy's Graphics Rules.sgr file instead of using GRM?

that reddit is the only place i've seen anyone mentioning it, and after deleting my custom-tailored GRM and replacing it with legacy's EA-built version i literally don't have pink flashing anymore. i didn't edit it in any way but i removed dxvk (which overwrites your graphics card settings and hasn't helped prior anyway) and i use the RPC launcher's no visualization mod (which doesn't help me with pink flash--it's just better on the eyes) and somehow i'm able to load and play lots without any pink.

other optimizations i've done afterwards that have further improved my performance:

forcing my laptop to always use Nvidia GPU

forcing Nvidia to use max settings (direct link to the mentioned MTS thread)

being selective with shaders. personally my laptop doesn't like Shader Fixes in combination with whatever else i have kicking (probably user error on my part for having conflicting shaders, but (personally) i like blue snow so i haven't done extensive testing to make it work). LD has his own version bundled with Lot Lighting Fix (but unfortunately it doesn't play with my lighting mod so I don't use it, but the option's there.)

(edit) deleting caches (via RPC upon load). i'm sure everyone already does this, but the few times i left my caches led to a slow load and almost immediate pink soup. i only mention this because i've seen some posts claim that *keeping* the caches helps, so try both options.

i know this isn't a revolutionary post, but as a guy who tried literally and i mean LITERALLY EVERYTHING to stop pink soup, the Legacy GR was a very unexpected small fix. i haven't updated my drivers or anything--but after using that and forcing Nvidia to use good settings, i've been able to use max settings, shadows, shaders, and load every lot on the same session with hundreds of objects. i don't want to jinx it but maybe you should try it.

I posted something for the monthly theme over at GoS. It's conversions from a Sims 4 Bioshock collaboration between Surely-Sims, LxN, and DoctorSimCraft. And though it took me three hours to perfect, the glass-lidded grand piano is fully functional.

Check out the original Sims 4 collab here, here, and here and check out the monthly theme at Garden of Shadows (and get more info about this set there) or download my contribution directly at the link below.

Realistic Sims 3-4 Inspired Face Templates for the Sims 2! No More Long Faces!

I know some Sims 2 players like the long-face cartoony look of the sims in the Sims 2... but I personally don't. It inhibits me from making people that look real and unique. So behold! New DEFAULT face templates for the Sims 2!

Features: 1. Inspired by different faces around the world. I wanted the faces to be as diverse as possible 2. No more gender differences! Maxis Face Templates makes it so that when you switch from Female to Male, the brows go sooo looww, the nose, chin and jaw gets soo big, and the lips become nonexistent basically. Well no more! 3. All faces have the same proportions (same eye, nose, and chin height) so you can mix and match all of the faces and you won't end up with an unproportionate sim! 4. Includes default alien face template replacement as well! Watch Video for reference:

Before Installing: 1. Take any default face templates you currently have in your game if any. 2. Gonna look ugly if you make children with my face template and maxis'. The outcome is gonna look unproportional so don't do that Suggestions: 1. Use my cc skintones + Magic Theatre Eyes by CuriousB (Default). This is what I use, but feel free to experiment with other. 2. Remove all pre-made townies (video by PleasantSims) so that your game can generate new sims with my face templates 3. Download hair replacements since Maxis' hair has a high hairline. 4. Works best if you prefer to create your own custom neighborhood from scratch. Since Maxis neighborhoods have sims with the default long faces. 5. I prefer to create Sims in BodyShop and not In-game 6. Credit to all the Simmers who've made custom face sliders! It's what I used to make these faces, and I suggest you download them here. 7. Download Treeag's Hider for Maxis Sims. Which hides the sims that Maxis created so that your CAS and Bodyshop will only have Sims that you've created yourself This has been one year in the making. When I started, the toddler and child face templates were royally messed up, so I had to painstakingly edit all 28, then, male and female sims look different so I had to manually change them all as well to eliminate all that. This took me months of not playing the game to finish making this. This is what I have been using in my game and so I'm just sharing it here in case anyone wants them as well.

For any feedback and suggestions, message me on Bluesky.

DOWNLOAD (Mediafire)

Credit to Argon for the face template fixes, which I've included in the download since other face template replacements also include them in their downloads.

Note: Might change either Face Template 22 or 23, but idk what. If you have any face-suggestions let me know. Next thing on my list is recolors of CuriousB's Magic Theatre Eyes and Default face replacement for the pollination technician and ideal plantsim. Alien face template for PT replacement and face 26 for ID replacement. WIP

A (truly) clear glass version of the glass fences in the Modern Fences Set

Just a super simple edit of this glass fence to make the glass clearer and less shiny, to suit my personal taste. Just let these edited glass fence package files overwrite the original files. I assume you’ll need the rest of the meshes from that set too.
