I've been building a townhouse all day today and these have been invaluable to me today!

Seasoned TS2 builders/players will no doubt recognise them, but I only recently discovered them, and thought it might be useful to share them, along with download links with you all. 😇

First one is 'Tile Blocker'.

It's as simple as the name suggests. This one stops sims walking into the tile where you've played this big red brick. Of course it has an invisible recolour, like OMSPs. This is useful in instances say, where a dresser's mesh overhangs another tile, so you can stop a sim being router, so they don't walk through the object.

Example of it being used here.

You can download it here.

Second one(s) are Slot Blocker/SlotBlocker and serve the same purpose.

I have many surfaces in the townhouse, where I don't want to put items, but I don't want sims to place items there either. There are two different types and I downloaded both.

I found that the SlotBlocker (pictured above) appears on more areas than the first one, but I do have Moar Slots installed. The first link is part of a Counter Completers set.

Slot Blocker can be downloaded here.

SlotBlocker can be downloaded here.

And last, but by no means least, are these beauties. These were a shock that I'd not heard of them before. I actually found them off TeaAddict's videos, but she mentioned that AniBats had used them in her Pleasantview series videos.

These are Object Rotators. 😍

Basically, they let you rotate for even more increments, so not just at 45 degree angles.

For example, I got this chair to be at a fair gentler angle to the dresser than if you'd not used them. There are three different sizes for differently sized objects, only 1 tile objects sadly atm.

The set I have can be downloaded here.

However, in searching for the link for this post, I saw these as well, which I assume serve the same purpose..? 🤔 I've not used them but thought I'd link them just in case anybody else was interested.

Hi @gold33! 🙋‍♀️

I'm glad you like the remodel, it took me a whole day to renovate and decorate that lot.

There are several adverts outside and so they're both here and here.

Hi Jess! Could you please tell me where the 4t2 looking bakery counter with all the cakes and boxes in it (that you placed the TS2 espresso machine on) is from in the post below? I searched through the 4t2 databse but couldn't find the exact item(s?) you have here. /rurpleplayssims/776579987472039936/third-build-of-the-day-this-is-music-mocha?source=share

Hi Nonnie! 👋

Yes, it's by @kayleigh-83 and you can download it here!

[rurpleplayssims]

Hi there @heartmeadows 😇

It isn't invisible tiles but an actual object which is much easier to use. These are window tiles which are a new find for me, and I'm a bit obsessed with them! You can find them here.

The wall mounted fishes I think were part of this set. If they aren't, then it might be just a modded debug object. I just googled Fishing CC this afternoon when I knew I was going to build this.

@sillysoraya - here's the best I could do to find the WCIFs you asked.

The rainbow rug is part of a kid's bedroom set which can be found here.

The noticeboard is part of a 4t2 set which can be found here.

The climbing roses can be found here.

Hi Jess! I have a wcif from your public library lot, but alas I do not remember the word for those concrete barrier thingies 😂 the ones that are all lined up along the sidewalk? I want to say it starts with a B but I could be wrong, hopefully you know what I’m referring to!

Hi @kayleigh-83 😇

Do you mean the bollards? 🤔

I got them from here.

[rurpleplayssims]

Hi Pixel-the-architect 👋

For some reason, it's not letting me tag you, so I've given you the link to this post via the comment reply you left.

I wasn't sure which floor tiles you meant so thought I'd list all of them.

1 + 2 are part of a floor overlay for Criquette's Rural Charm Terrain as I use that road default. I think I use a different one with added textures.

3 I think is part of this stone set.

4 I have no idea. 🤔 I cannot find out which one it is, other than to show what it says in game. If anybody can identify (and link) the flooring, let me know in the replies.

Hope this helps!

[rurpleplayssims]

Hello! I was wondering whether you'd mind answering a couple of WCIFs for me, from your recent townhouse build? Could you tell me please where I can find the front door, the windows, and the wall hooks in the bathroom? Thank you!

Hi @curiousb! 🙋‍♀️

Of course, I don't mind answering some WCIFs. Unfortunately, I can't find all of the ones you requested.

The doors and archways are all part of this build set.

The windows can be found here.

Apologies but I am struggling to locate the wall pegs/hooks, both in my downloads and online. I'll open it up to everyone that if they recognise it, then can they pretty please post a link in the replies below? 😘😇

Hope this helps!

You can always go through my @rurple101findscc blog as I reblog stuff there and I tag it so it's easy for me and others to go back and find stuff.

may i ask where the small tv is from in beckys post where shes gaming please? ty

Hi there 🙋‍♀️

Sorry it took me so long to answer this!

You can find the TV here.

[rurpleplayssims]

Sorry - I forgot one! Also, where can I find the archway between the living area and dining area please - is it all one piece, or something you put together? Thank you again!

Hi there @curiousb! 🙋‍♀️

I'm just loading my game to remind myself of the build set that the doors, windows and archways are all part of, and to find name of the wall hooks. I'll post it as an answer to the first ask.

Just thought I'd let you know I'm locating the names and links for you. 😇

[rurpleplayssims]

Hi, I don't use Skyrim mods but your pictures are so pretty I'm tempted tbh lol.

If possible, what environmental graphics mods do you use and also the ones for skin and eyes?

If it'd be too long of a list, don't worry. Just pointing me in the right direction is fine. xD

I like the vanilla look a lot, but it could use a slight tune up.

Hi @condensedpigeonmilk 🙋‍♀️

I do have a lot of mods (over 2000!) and my list requires constant updating, as I'm not sure it's 100% stable as modding Skyrim is almost a full time occupation! 🤣 However, I will list as many that might be helpful to start you with.

Lighting/Environmental Mods:

Enhanced Lights and FX (although a lot of people use Lux these days)

Obsidian Weathers

Rudy ENB for Obsidian Weathers

Northern Roads (which requires a lot of patches with other mods, just a heads up!)

Blubbos Tree mods

Mods by JK (including many interiors, JK's Skyrim/Dawn of Skyrim combination)

Mods by Ryn, overhaul of Standing Stones, Dragon Burial Mounds and some unique locations.

Northern Scenery series by HeilingerKresy

Skin Mods:

For Females: Bijin Skin

For Males: Loverboy

Eyes: Pocky's Quirk Eyes, The Eyes of Beauty and BnP Eye Pack

Texture Mods:

Main Textures (base, a lot get overwritten by the following mods in list): Noble Skyrim & Static Mesh Improvement Mod

Whiterun: Illustrious Whiterun

Solitude: HQ Solitude

Riften: Gravunlom 

Windhelm by CleverCharff

High Poly Project

Other Misc Textures by: ElSopa, DrJacopo, Pfuscher, iimlenny, dovahnique and many, many more!

Because of possible mod conflicts and load orders, it might be useful to do a bit of homework on it, as some of the tools can be a little intimidating. It was to me when I first started! Here are a couple of videos that have been uploaded recently, that might help you.

OR -> If you're a little daunted by manually installing loads of mods and getting them to fit together properly, then you can always download and install a premade mod list, as some of them are very good.

For example, a lot of people use ones such as Nolvus or Eldergleam, which includes an auto installer. Some can be for high power gaming rigs or not, or if you want a vanilla-faithful list.

Hope this helps! 😇😇😇

 In that case would you mind several wcifs? Mainly the fish and meat, the fresh vegetables and vegetable seeds? on the wooden shelf. Oh and the frozen stuff in freezers ☺️ thanks!

As promised, here are the WCIFs that @sajlica requested. 😊

First thing's first, I have my CC Finds blog where I save all the CC I either like, or assume (sometimes correctly) that others will like the look of, so I know where to look for requests like this. I use tags to separate it in a similar way that the Buy/Build modes do in game, as well as Hairs and Clothing. It's the first place I look whenever someone asks me for a WCIF.

The fridge displays are a white recolour of the displays that came with Open for Business. The recolours can be found here.

The fish display on top is here. Found another one here.

And all the food is here. It's decorative but I think it can be used to stock a fridge, like fruit and vegetables. There's more of that here and here.

These fridges on the left are here (and another here).

The freezers to the right hand side are again are recolours and here.

And this lovely fish display can be found here (or here, I'm not 100% to be honest.

The seeds on the shelf are here.

Flower stand on the counter is here.

And the vegetable stands are here and here. There's another type here.

Hope this helps! 😇
