the depression .....

thank you so much.

[shockmeamazed]

Your Veronaville looks AWESOME. I am curious do you plan to recreate Riverblossom Hills, Desiderata Valley and Belladonna Cove.

Yess, I think the next one will be either Desiderata and Belladonna! I think I got preferences mostly for these two. If anyone would like a specific one of these, do let me know so I know on which one to focus on first!

Clean Purist Veronaville

Hello! This is the third and last neighborhood of the BG Purist Hoods I'm going to release! Veronaville had many quirks I have not previously met in other neighborhoods that I had to study quite a lot to get right. It has been rather exhausting- but I have thankfully been helped by @lionwolficemagma, @cricket-sims and @f1shart, whom I give all my heart to. Thank you so, so much guys! This would've been so slow without your help. Lots of love.

General Overview

All ancestors are resurrectable and everyone is here: unless you pick the no townies version, you will have all the characters that come originally with the neighborhood.

No age has been modified (minus one exception), as I worked on memories more to make them line up with the Eaxis Canon better than before. All characters will have their default set of days remaining in their lifespan, unless you use a lifespan mod. I tried to be as purist as I could.

The Hood has never been initialized in-game and is compatible with any system (Windows, Linux, MacOS), game version or expansion pack (Legacy Collection as well). Scripted events work as well.

Reduced size on hard drive by deleting many useless things inside character files.

This took me so long to do, I might release a version with extras in another moment. Stay tuned, I might post updates on how it's going!

Let's get into it! As always, download at the end of the post!

Changes

All junk flags have been cleared. Removed the dreaded family flags and ensured people who are actually family recognize each other. Also no relationships to Universal NPCs whatsoever.

Hidden relationships have been rectified and removed.

Everyone has been re-linked and missing data has been restored thanks to the recreations by carrit on ModTheSims.

Fitness flags have been cleared where they made no sense.

Fixed fitness bar being mismatched. Now no deceased person will have it maxed out!

All empty personalities have been filled. I based myself on the convention used for townies.

Blank Zodiac Signs have been restored.

The Power aspiration has been removed and substituded with the Aspirations corresponding to the Astrological Signs of the bearers.

Family Trees now respect the actual birth order of the Capp teens/Monty teens and Capp adults.

Olivia Monty's pregnancy has been fixed and the father linked is Claudio. She will give birth in around five Sim hours.

Patrizio and Isabella's pension has been changed to the one corresponding to level 10 Culinary Career, as they have been promoted nine times in total and reached that level. The career is also specified, instead of there being none.

Patrizio and Isabella now have how many days old they are restored.

Patrizio, Mercutio and Isabella have been given the right skills needed for their careers.

Bianca and Antonio's ages have been swapped, so now he has 23 days left and she has 18. I based myself on the Storytelling pictures. I pinky promise I changed ages only here, so every other member is still unreasonably young despite already having children. Why is left to player interpretation.

Many characters had extra faces inside their character file (record is Benedick with 38). I've removed the old, unused ones.

Broken and borked faces have been fixed, such as the ancestor ladies with sabertooth and Hal Capp. Thanks to Khaemwaset on ModTheSims.

Cordelia, Caliban and Consort no longer have that extra png that scarily pops up in SimPE instead of their current one.

Catalogue Description oddities have been fixed.

All memories that were missed were added and the ones in the wrong order were re-ordered.

Claudio Monty, Olivia Monty, Hero Monty, Caliban Capp, Cordelia Capp and Contessa Capp now have memories of their life.

Genetics have been fixed and restored where they were completely missing.

Family Bin Families now have the right amount of money.

Removed physical death tokens.

Ancestors no longer have memory of a deceased sim that doesn't exist.

A Note on Memories

The most tedious thing to do has been fixing all the memories given (or not) to playables. Everyone was missing almost everything and the few memories actually there were either in a very bad order or completely swapped with those of other characters. No remembering when other family members grew up, forgetting best friends, forgetting who's who...

The Summerdream Family was missing relationship flags and they had half of their memories swapped with each other (example: Oberon recalled becoming best friends with Puck, but that was actually Titania, and flags weren't even properly set despite all the requirements being there).

I have tried my best to be as neutral as possible, but some memory placement just had to be assumed as I had literally nothing to start from. I apologize and accept any suggestion on how to improve them.

Thanks to everyone once again!

Paywallers Actually Suck (at CC)

today on 'ky has beef with paywallers', i'm trying to fix one of gloriana's hairs from @peanuttysims' nut so fast paywallers booty (keep it up icon you're doing god's work 🙏) and wtf even is this?? who is paying for this crap (legitimately)?

Terrible File Names (hi linux)

first off, this hair isn't even binned properly (there's an elder stage for EVERY RECOLOUR so you have 6 of the same grey hair...) and she barely renamed the default bodyshop files ("GLO_box-braids");

'Does It Show In Game' Test (nope)

second (nutty's screenshots, not mine) it doesn't even show properly in game. bruh. 'pay for more quality' my ass! it only shows in bodyshop and even then it's got a serious 5head going on...

'Is It Made Properly?' Test (nope, NOPE)

besides actively clipping into the ts2 head. which, i can understand if you're making cc for this game for a hobby. but you're asking people to PAY for this stuff and you can't take 5 minutes to try to reshape it properly??? bruh! left is my 2-minute edit and right is gloriana's. i'm sure it's more difficult to reshape stuff in milkshape, but can i emphasise, you're asking people to PAY for this??

'Effort?' (surely a myth)

oh, and cherry on top, gloriana couldn't even be bothered to add proper bones to this hair. because fuck quality control, apparently. so when you turn it even slightly, even in game, this happens:

fuck you paywallers, you actually genuinely suck at cc creation and it's disgusting that this has even been allowed to continue. i'm done listening to 'pAy MoRe GeT mOrE' arguments because seriously, i've been making cc since i was 14. i'm pretty sure 14-year-olds can produce far superior work, FOR FREE. more money does NOT mean better quality, in this case it's literally just shit.

please, PLEASE, never give money for sims cc. ever. it's against EA's TOS and while EA sucks too, there's hundreds of talented cc creators out there who make stuff FOR FREE that is a million times better than... whatever you can even call this. this is just shameful.

Update 11/08/2025

Seth Zaidi was borked and his face would not properly work. His character file has been fixed. I have left here ("Seth Zaidi fix") his singular chara file for those who have already started playing with a previous version.

Clean Purist Strangetown + Optional Extras

(AKA Dorsal Axe's Strangetown)

First of all, I want to note immediately that I did not do this from scratch, but started from the work of Dorsal Axe, which you can find here. All credits go to him. What I did has been fixing further things that seem to have been left behind (Example; corrupted faces), as well as trying to make this even more purist, free of interpretations and maxis-match.

Please refer to his post for the features he has implemented. Here's what I did:

Fixed Broken Faces

Restored true faces thanks to the leftovers in character data

Rectified some relationships in order to make them more adherent to the storytelling

Converted the original into subhoods, made different templates to pick from (original, fixed by me, with extras)- they should be around 11. The versions with extras include Infant Faces, Heterozygous Sims, Corrected Astrological Signs and Merged Clones.

More under the cut. (Changes, Extras, etc.) Download at the end of the post.

Changes

Glabe's corrupted hair has been fixed. Her wig won't be snatched anymore, and other than that her OBJD Data returned to person, so that she can be resurrectable.

Creon had a broke/corrupted face in his adult lifestage which has been fixed. I appreciate the recreation but it was possible to just use the hidden data in his character file for his true face, so I've done that for all lifestages.

Willow's recreated face has been subsituted with her real one.

Lyla isn't anymore a female Buck Grunt, as her face has been restored from the original source as well.

Melissa Sims got her hair back.

Tim Lee Demise's face has been reverted back to his original one.

Knut Futa is now a normal person and he won't be randomized anymore. WE SAVED HIM!

Ophelia and her parents now perceive Nervous as respectively cousin and nephew.

Glabe is now familiar with her step-daughter and vice versa- They seemed to be really close judging by the memories.

Lola and Chloe are now familiar only with their step-mother and barely with their biological father. I removed their relationship to PT9 and the kids he had with Jenny as it makes no sense for him to be aware of their existence. Give Glabe some recognition for growing up two girls alone that have been abandoned by their human dad!

Mystery Sim memories have been deleted, as they're usually assigned en masse as an adult character is created, so people can experience unexeperienced adults.

Olive's memories of Nervous' birth have been moved to adulthood, to make everything work by game mechanics.

Nervous' father has been restored in his family tree. I was unsure about this one but I've been suggested to do it, as the story hints at it clearly nonethless.

Deleted .bkp files that were left in Characters folder.

Bella's Astrological sign is now recognized instead of being blank.

Some ancestors were lacking proper hair genetics, I have fixed that.

Lola and Chloe are now twins once again by moving around some memories.

Extras

All sims have been given recessive genes where it is possible.

All playables are now babyfaced.

The new Nervous has been merged with the old one as we don't know which one actually looks "canon".

Same applies to Bella. She has been merged with her PV self, but retained also some ST characteristics.

All playables now have correct astrological signs based on their genetic personalities.

Credits, Terms of use and CC used

Do whatever you want with this, make projects, use it, tear it apart, take data from it. I don't care. Have fun! I would love to see projects based on this one.

I suggest using Catherine's Sweaters, otherwise some ancestors might have their looks randomized. Also, I suggest using Infant Faces by Meowingcookie.

A huge thank you and hug to Dorsal Axe for the original hood!

A big hug also to @ivycopur for lending me her limbs once again. Her work is insane.

Not sure where all these people are coming from but hi guys... My name is Shock...

I'm STILL learning how to use Tumblr, but I think I'm doing quite well already.

I am currently on vacation, and also took a trip to Verona... Call me dedicated 😎

Might also mess around with more mods. I want to learn starting from small edits, so if anyone has an idea or two that might intrigue me, I'm willing to give it a shot for practice :)

Sims Piracy

[shockmeamazed]

Fully Gender Neutral Alt Preg Controller Lite

Still on my Sims break - especially since uni break is over in less than a week :( - but I had to do this. When I saw the edit @shockmeamazed did of @midgethetree's Alternate Pregnancy Controller, @meltingmagnetz's edit also came to mind. I decided to fuse them - simpler than I thought actually. Mainly made for those who don't know their way around SimPE.

In case you missed the previous posts, this is Midge's Alt Preg Controller but with gender neutral dialogs and also both male and female Sims use the same animations (no more "ew alien baby" when it's not actually an alien cinematics). See Midge's original post linked above if you don't know what the Alternate Pregnancy Controller does.

DOWNLOAD - SFS only.

An edit... of an edit... of an edit. Quite the mouthful!

[shockmeamazed]

hi! would u happen 2 know how 2 remove the miscarriage function from Midge's/your edit of the alt pregnancy controller?

Sure!

As Midge stated, you just need to set all chances of it happening to zero. Easy peasy thing.

I edited mine again so it already has all pronouns swapped + no chance of having miscarriages happen.

Gender Neutral Alt Pregnancy Controller Lite

ORIGINAL HERE BY @midgethetree!

I have looked for this a while around but I never encountered anyone else doing it, so I hope I'm not stealing the idea. It was originally private but I think others might want this as well.

This is a very small edit of the Alt Pregnancy Controller Lite to change all pronouns to gender neutral. By default, all sims were referred to as female (using she/her). And if you've been in the Sims 2 fandom for not even much... You already know that's not always the case :)

Now all sims are referred to as they/them/themself, as I think enby sims should also be allowed to not be misgendered while pregnant.

Hey Anon! I looked into this further and this is how it works in the game:

When the Subhood is added and everything is ran through Hoodchecker, the father NID is updated. However, the game does NOT register it.

Once the lot is opened again, the game wrongly considers the pregnancy not fixed and will attempt to change the NID again, resulting in this issue.

This is a game bug and nothing I can really fix myself. I'd have to initialize the lots, but I try my best to not touch anything so people will find the characters where they're supposed to be when played.

People who play it must indivdually take care of this. Here's how to:

Open SimPe, go to Neighborhood Browser and pick the Uberhood.

Go to Neighborhood Memory in the Resource Tree and find the Curious Family, then Pascal and find "Controller- Pregnancy". Change the NID of the father to the one of PT- should be 0x0132. Double check the four last digits of his Sim Instance in "Sim Description (SDSC)", just in case. I heard it can be fixed also with SimBlender or Insiminator, but I have no idea how those two things work and never heard about them when fixing this issue.

Hi! I downloaded your PV main + ST sub uberhood, to test if Pascal's alien pregnancy would work, but it didn't. The baby was born with human skin and eyes, and the social bunny was the parent. I exited without saving just in case. This happens when adding a hood with an alien abduction as a subhood, because the pol tecnician is in the default family or something and there cannot be 2 different pol tecnicians at the same time.

Could you fix the issue in SimPE by reassigning PleasantView's Pol Tec as Pascal's impregnator if possible? I don't really know how to use SimPE, and I fear I might corrupt the Neighborhood or my game by messing around.

But don't worry, the weird Social Bunny being a parent doesn't happen when ST is the main hood, so I'll play with that version instead, but I'd put a disclaimer in the download page about Pascal's pregnancy in the subhood version just in case.

Hi anon! Thank you SO, SO much for telling me about this. It seems like I completely forgot about this alien pregnancy quirk and didn't fix it. I'll fix it ASAP and reblog the post to announce it was fixed. Thank you for warning others

P.S. Do not fear messing around with SimPE. It creates a backup of your neighborhood and nothing will break 99% of times, if not the program itself because it's glitchy and it will make you inhale and exhale very loudly. I suggest giving it a go.

Uber/Mega - Hood Template (PV + ST) Fixed Bella Goth Issue + Clean Purist Templates + Townies/No Townies + Optional Extras

Hello! As I promised here's a Uberhood base that should fix the Bella Goth issue once and for all. It is based on my Pleasantview and Strangetown purist templates, so no personal interpretations added.

Features

Everything has been left as maxis-match as I could.

Bella from PV has been deleted, as she's not the canon one from the standpoint view of the developers.

Bella has relationship flags/family ties to all her family members, but does not remember anyone.

I have kept Bella hidden in Mortimer's, Cassandra's and Alexander's relationship panels, so you can play out your storyline and indulge in the mystery.

Fully modular: Eight versions to pick from. Do you want your main to be ST or PV? Do you perhaps want townies or not? What about genetics, infant faces, corrected astrological signs and merged clones? Up to you!

All Townies have their original names, instead of being randomized.

All ancestors are always included.

Characters with a broken face had it restored according to their true looks in the character file.

More under the cut (Download)!

DISCLAIMER

This only works on Windows and Linux, and requires either the Legacy Collection, Ultimate Collection or all discs. I have tried to use AnyGameStarter or the RPC Launcher to boot the game in a lower version but I could not succeed.

I want to Do It Myself / I am a Mac User

Pick your starting templates.

Put them together how you would with any others. Make sure you use this mod by Mootilda to get rid of the useless big button that blocks the view.

Close the game and open SimPE.

Open the Neighborhood.

Find the Bella you want to delete. I will assume the PV one gets deleted. (The PV one is in the Default Bin and the ST one is in the Ebadi Household)

Find her wants and fears. Delete them.

Remove all her relationships.

Remove all her family ties/family tree connections.

Remove all her memories (tokens, invisibles. EVERYTHING)

Make sure that no Sim points at her in any way.

Write down her character file.

Open her character file.

Delete everything inside it.

Open the neighborhood again and find her entry. She will be called "Unknown" (or the equivalent in your language). Delete her and save.

Go to the Characters folder and delete her character file.

Open the Neighborhood.

Go to the remaining Bella. I will assume it's the ST one.

Add relationships to Mortimer, Cassandra, Alex, Michael, Simis and Jocasta.

Add Family ties to the aforementioned.

Go to Neighborhood Memory and change for Don Lothario and the Goths where the memories are pointing to. Add the new Bella as the recipient.

Wait! What if I forgot something?

Do not worry. Run HoodChecker, which will take care of things you might have left behind. Keep in mind new relationships, memories etc. Must be added manually by you. I suggest running it after deleting Bella.

That's a lot just to delete one sim. Isn't there a faster way?

Yes. You can follow this tutorial at MATY. Just remember: DO NOT RESET THE SIM INDEX. You can skip this part!

Usage

Do whatever you want with it, I don't care. Have fun!

Notes and CC used

Skip, Jill, Johnny, the Caliente twins and their father have recessive genes in every template.

Kaylynn, Gordon, Abhijet, Meredith and Crystal are always included.

Although these Neighborhoods are clean and safe to use, the game just naturally piles up some stuff from now to then. Make sure to run your Neighborhood through Hoodchecker every now and then to get rid of them.

The recreations of some resurrectable ancestors include content that was cut from the game. These modders have restored these items, who have been used in the recreations by carrit. I have included an extra piece I suspect has been used, too. If you won't use these, the sims who use them will have randomized clothing or hair instead. Lost and Found Remade Maxis Clothing Lost and Found Yellow and Green (Turquoise!!) Cardigans Beehive Hairdo Darling Pageboy Hair

I suggest using Infant Faces yourself to ensure every new sim has them.

THANKS

All the people who have, with their amazing creations, helped me make these! carrit, Dorsal Axe, @ivycopur, @meowingcookie, Mootilda, lingeringwillx(they made a tool to restore all names in subhoods!), @catherinetcjd and I hope I'm not missing anyone else!

A warm hug to all people in the Sims 2 Community that keep me motivated. Thanks guys!

SimPE… team..

You!! Thanks for checking this out!!
