The Sims 2 - Wall Hanging Decor Recolors Database

Hi! Finally sharing this with you. It's a recolor database for the wall hanging decor from The Sims 2. It first started as a website, but I couldn't keep up, so I made a Google Sheet. It's far from done, however, this is were I ask you to help me fill this up!

As we are in testing period and it took me a lot of effort to do this, I will start asking for help with a Google form, and later on, I will open the sheet to the public so everyone can edit it (I could do this from the beginning but I'm afraid someone might vandalize it 😭).

List of custom content creators I have already added to the database as of May 2, 2025:

@deedee-sims @episims @pforestsims @kashmiresims @curiousb @creesims @rockethorse @decat2 @nikkasimms @neosimi @isimchi @kahlenas gabilei123 plus some other authors at MTS (I accidentally deleted the list 🙃)

Also tagging @felidae-sims for the Databases Database 🪡

As it appears that I’m not the only one who need this… I started the project !

Well, for now, I only added the stoves, because it’s several hours spent on this today. But slowly this will grow ! Don’t hesitate to already submit downloads for the objects added to the database (only stoves today, remember ?). It’s not a lot but at least I’m happy with how it looks so far and what I’ve done in less than a day.

Also : If you know how to use Wordpress AND know html enough to edit posts without the buggy visual editing mod AND have time AND the want to help… I’d be happy to have a few sidekicks on this, so you can PM me anytime !

(PM me here, or at GoS or MTS or find “steroberta” on the TS2 Discord server…)

And one last thing : Can I ask the simmers that are happy about this projet to please reblog this ? That’d be helpful ! Thank you ! :-)

N.B. : Thanks to the sims2defaults database from where I stole ideas and words !

Hi, could you share which ROS events you use please 😀

I know I'd shared these a couple times before, but I scrolled back a bit and it's definitely changed a lot since the last time, which was August 2022! Back then I had 48 on the list, now it's up to 70.

Putting more info and the full list behind a cut to save your dash!

I just keep all my gameplay notes and stuff on my ipad, easiest for me. I don't use an ROS program or anything so there's no weighting, no major or minor scenarios etc. I just use Siri or random.org to pick a number.

The scenarios are a mix of other people's lists I've found, plus ones I've made up myself. It's pretty nice to my Sims so there aren't any death or divorce ones or anything lol. I've removed some I used to use as my gameplay has evolved, if they no longer fit.

Hobbies and sub-hobbies

I've been working on implementing a sub-hobby system in my game recently and really enjoying it! I took a look at the different activities available for different hobbies and came up with my list, which I thought I'd share here.

I do have some mods that change the hobby enthusiasm of some objects, or add new ones - I'll link where applicable.

I don't assign these based on any system, just vibes. I usually stick with whatever hobby the game assigns, but I do sometimes change them if it really feels like it doesn't fit to me. The sub-hobbies are intended to be a main focus, but Sims can and will still try other aspects of their overall hobby, and other hobbies altogether sometimes too!

The list is a work in progress but I'm basically happy with it now.

Edited: I found a version of the punching bag that gives fitness enthusiasm instead of sports, and that activity makes more sense to me as a fitness thing, so I moved that sub-hobby over.

Edited x2: Combined a couple gaming subhobbies into "Social Games" and added MyShuno to that category.

Cuisine

Cooking

Baking

Wine & Cocktails

Foodie (restaurants, delivery)

Films & Literature

Reading

Writing (helpful but not necessary to also have this mod)

Arts & Crafts

Painting

Pottery

Sewing

Photography (hugely aided by the buyable antique camera and Epi and PF's camera overhaul mod)

Knitting (Eisbaer's edit of TonyVeis' 4t2 mod)

Science

Biotech (buyable Biotech station and microscopes with science enthusiasm added)

Robotics (this mod makes robotics science related which makes far more sense to me)

Games

Video Games (console, handheld, computer, arcade games)

Board Games (chess, Don't Wake the Llama, mahjong)

Social Games (darts, poker, pool, bowling, MyShuno)

Nature

Entomology (hunting bugs, catching fireflies and butterflies)

Animals (small pets like womrats, birds, koi fish, bird watching)

Gardening (harvestable crops, orchard trees - I play with perfect plants mod so they don't have to maintain flowers and shrubs)

Outdoorsy (fishing, hiking, camping, cloud watching)

Flower Arranging (this mod changes the enthusiasm on the flower bench to nature)

Essential Mods

Mootilda’s Hood Checker ─  A necessary tool used to check for corruption in your neighborhoods.

Hack Conflict Detection Utility (HCDU) ─  Another necessary tool that finds hack conflicts in your game. Does not find them all, but very useful nonetheless. I also recommend SiMidge as it is able to find many more conflicts that HCDU.

SimPE ─ Number one essential tool/program that allows you to view package files, tune/create mods, edit ages/names/etc. download version 0.75.68.

Lazy Duchess’ RPC Launcher ─ A custom launcher with added features and fixes. Includes a Discord Rich Presence, First Born Syndrome Fix, Borderless, and Better Live Mode Camera. Can’t live without this!

Delphy’s Download Organizer ─ I find this program to be incredibly helpful when I need to see my mods/cc organized by date downloaded.

Anti-Redundancy ─  Eliminates the spawning of redundant NPCs.

No Death Type Loss ─Sims no longer lose their death type upon moving their tombstone to a community lot. Also, ghosts will now be the correct color from the type of death.

No Corrupt Death ─  Suppresses the corrupt death memory.

No Unlink on Delete ─  Game stops partially destroying sims files when deleting a tombstone.

FFS Lot Debugger ─  Lots of very useful debug options. I use the pretty vase version. :)

No Sim Loaded ─ Eliminates “Sim Loaded” and other tokens when loading up a lot. Also prevents and fixes the Super Duper Hug Bug.

Gussy Up ─ Change, buy, and plan playable and townie Sims clothes.

Sim Blender ─ Holy Grail management mod. Allows for a host of different options. A serious must have!

Sim Manipulator ─  Similar to Sim Blender but with several more options. You can have one or both, I use them interchangeably.

No Townie Regen ─  Prevents the game from spawning new townies.

Day Setter ─  Sets the day of the week for the current lot. Necessary to keep hoods in sync.

Weather Controller ─  Sets the season and weather on the current lot.

Inge’s Age Group Tweak ─  Custom age length mod. Tutorial on how to tune age span: here. Recommended use with Age Correct.

Age Correct ─ This mod corrects the age span length of a hood. Must use with Inge’s Age Group Tweak in order to change entire hood’s age span. Remove from downloads after loading a lot and receiving the pop up that the mod worked.

Auto Save Game ─ A pop up appears that asks if you’d like to save the game.
