Because is 2 in the morning and I can't sleep, went into a deep dive in the Sims 2 dev thread over Twitter and found THIS:

I.NEED.THIS

At least I need info about this because don't tell me this doesn't sound GOOD.

Sadly there's no answer, and the curiosity is going to eat me for the rest of the night, but this bit of information is priceless for my sleep-deprived-beta-sims-2-obsessed brain.

Edit: a little bit of information I left out in my emotion, this tweet was answering a question about the original 5 Neighborhoods planned to be shipped in Base Game.

Thanks to LucPix once again for showing video we've never seen before. While the rest of this video is b-roll from E3 the first few minutes from the beta CAS is all new!

Wow. A beta hairstyle that they used in almost all of their renders, but cut out of their games (only traces of the dead remained, such as Darleen Dreamer), while a basic male costume, which was never seen on female Sims. Looks interesting. It’s really annoying that they squeezed so much content)

Interesting fact, apparently Elijah Wood was supposed to be in Superstar? Thanks to Paulette for this fact!!

just that one though

The previous ask made me remember that it's possible to sort of mix different terrain types by editing the NeighborhoodTerrain.ini in the game files, too. Doing this instantly affects all the neighborhoods using the edited terrain type.

The lot view still shows just one terrain type at a time, though. But when done like this, I assume the lot terrain type will automatically change based on what terrain the lot is mostly placed on.

I've never found a way to utilize this well for my own use, but that's probably due to the lack of patience to fiddle with it lol.

Underneath are the settings I used for the preview above, along with my notes. Just click on the pic for the bigger version (or open the picture in a new tab if you're reading this from the blog).

the capps nursery was ugly as fuuuuuuuck. no wonder their house burned down

Oh yeah, when I was searching for LIFOs I found this one in Sims08.package, "afbodynaked-tattooback"

It's from the base game, so I don't think it was actually used anywhere (maybe they repurposed it later for Uni though). It's also misaligned if you paste it straight over a skin lol

I know they’re just placeholders, but I think the talk about UI and Maxis options are funny af.

They were always self aware.
