I was able to take my first bath in over a year in our new apartment! I feel so happy. The bath used to be somewhere I went to regulate and relax, and I'm so happy to have this tool in my toolbox again! :")

I found these brows through this post, specifically "mira/vidcunds/crystalvu ⋯ 4t2 cupid eyebrows by peachyfaerie". The original post seems to be dead, so I'm linking that one!

Anyway, I defaulted them, because they go so well with @platinumaspiration's 4t2 hair defaults that I've been using! I hope you get some use out of these, too. 💖

I had an issue where the grey bushy default was waaay too long, but I managed to fix it in sketchbook! SFS is updated, so just redownload and you're good to go! :-)

*guy who is very clearly going through. something* oh yknow. just a little tired haha

I'm on something of a hiatus, but I'm starting to download default clothing, and I hope to finish that by the end of summer. :-) I want to learn how to do it myself, too! It can't be that hard, right? I am surely going to eat my words...

Anyway, thank you for hanging about despite my inactivity! I check Tumblr daily to see what folks are up to, and there's so much cool stuff on my dash! Y'all are the best. :-) ☆ See ya soon(ish)!

Plumbug's TS2: Setup List ˎˊ˗

This is a list of everything that I personally used recently to get The Sims 2 running smoothly after I reset my computer. I hope that this helps both new and seasoned players, and myself the next time I do my yearly PC reset. ✰(ᐛ )

˗ˏˋ The Game and Launcher ˎˊ˗

1—The Sim 2: Ultimate Collection

⚠ — Please don't support EA's "Legacy" version. ⚠ — The link I used to use on The Internet Archive is dead, but I have a copy on my external hard drive. I'd like to upload it sometime, but I don't currently have strong internet connection. 2—RPC Launcher ⊹ — Seperates Mod

˗ˏˋ Programs ˎˊ˗

1—Bulk Rename Utility 2—CC Merger 3—Clean Installer 4—Compressorizer 5—Empty Standby List ⊹ — Guide 6—Graphics Rules Maker 7—Hood Checker 8—Hood Replace 9—Lot Adjuster 10—SimPe

I have a happy and functioning TS2 on my computer once more! ☆(^ ^ ) Thank you to everyone who helped me try to figure out what what was wrong. I reset my PC in the end, and when I reinstalled, all was well. Huzzah! ☆🎣

I put together a color palette for the spreadsheet I keep for my gameplay and other odds 'n ends. I changed Hazelnut's name to Haddock Bay, and there's a Crickett Island not too far off the coast now. I'm still having trouble with screen/UI sizing, but this has been a nice distraction from everything... ♡☆

[plum-bug]

I bring you an edit I made of one of my favorite terrain paints! It's from the garden at home set, converted by @nonsensical-pixels. I'm making a university that has lots of clovers everywhere, and I needed something a bit more toned down. 🍀

Sometimes you have to hyperfixate on a 20 year old video game and that's just life
