This has to be the quickest replacement I’ve ever done, but omg just look at it !.. 🤩

Prettier Bubble Bath - Texture Default

*This is for TS2

Download: SFS | BOX

updated 05.04.2025 - added larger (but still tiny - 64px) bubble texture

* I used bubble texture found in the game.

* This will also replace all sorts of other bubbles using this particular texture, like cleaning bubbles, swimming pool bubbles, aquarium bubbles, and foam texture (separate resource).

Whew...

I finally found an updated file for @Noodlebelli's tracker for 3t2 trait mods.

I must have just let the new link escape me all this time!!

This is a VERY handy tool. It's how I managed to have a fully functioning traits system with stuff for every trait!

It is sorted by Creator, or by Trait

The metric for suck is up to you. Could be the place with the worst quests, the most annoying to navigate, ugliest architecture, or just generally rancid vibes. Whatever matters most to you when you look within yourself and ask, where is the armpit of Skyrim located?

Sclera Accessory for TS2

Finally, I’m ready to present the Sclera Accessory!

What’s the point?

This accessory helps solve a long-standing issue:

In TS2, when the sclera was painted directly onto the eye texture or used as a makeup overlay, it moved along with the iris, which looked unnatural. Players had to choose between a more realistic texture and better animation compatibility.

Now you can use eye textures with just a plain or gradient white sclera, while the lacrimal caruncle and eyelash shadow are placed on the accessory texture instead.

Thus, when the eye moves, the sclera remains in place.

How it looks in motion

Close-up:

Here’s how my Sims look with and without the sclera accessory:

Details

The mesh is a separated and slightly edited part of the face mesh, which allows it to work perfectly with facial animations.

I also edited the UV map to make texturing easier.

The sclera works with any eye shape and is available for all ages and genders, including infants.

The PU-EU and BU meshes are separate files so you can easily relink your recolors for all ages.

Recolors

I made 4 recolors. I wanted the texture to be something between hyper-realistic and maxis match — something in the middle. I know many of you are talented and will create even more amazing textures in different styles. Here's the PSD.

Known issues

First, I had to change the material type to StandardMaterial to make the texture’s opacity look better. Since this material type isn’t native to CAS items, it may cause transparency issues when meshes with alpha textures intersect.

Second, blue flashing fix: I didn't use a placeholder. Instead, I removed all references to the “lens” group in the mesh and texture files. I didn’t get blue flashing in testing, but if it happens, let me know and I’ll upload a fixed version.

Hey sim 2 players there has been news that vegan-kaktus's uploads have also been compromised i know thats a sims 2 archive thats trying to preserve S2 cc from being lost

Can anyone confirm that vegan-kaktus has also been compromised? Do they have .exe or .bat file extensions do they have zips that get flagged when downloading?

As always be safe while checking have your anti Virus running while doing so.

Hey, i ran into your recent post [Anonymous asked Do you mind people editing sims you’ve put up for download?] in which you talk about editing sims' faces in milkshape. would you mind elaborating on how you go about it? mainly what do you export and how do you import back? I have in mind putting a mesh from another game as a sim's face, that's the goal anyway. I use blender if that matters. Thanks in advance, and have a great day/evening.

hey friend! i posted a semi-tutorial a while back on editing faces in milkshape here, but i'm not actually sure if it would be possible to do what you're talking abt in sims 2, unfortunately. i know it is possible to import other head "objects" (like monitors or helmets or anything that will completely cover the head) as an accessory or hair. that's how we have stuff like screen heads and lord woot.

but ☝️ i don't know if anyone has had success replacing the existing head mesh. from what i have heard, it just breaks the mesh, because sims 2 is so so ancient and not compatible with anything ever. you could possibly do something similar to Drachenfels's skeleton skin which i believes makes the default head invisible with a skin and then you equip the skull as an accessory/hair (don't remember which in this case), but it won't have any facial rigging/animations and would basically be a static object. that's how i understand it anyway.

full disclosure: i could definitely be wrong abt this now or in the future. for a very long time we thought custom sliders were impossible but that is obvs no longer the case. could be that there is a way to replace head meshes and we just haven't found it yet.

Do you mind people editing sims you’ve put up for download? For personal use of course. You uploaded sim named Ursula, that I edited her features and gave a darker skin tone.

go nuts, anon! you are welcome to do whatever you like with my sims in your game.

for the record, i also do not mind if ppl edit my sims and share their edited versions, either! but i would like to be credited in that case. a lot of the sims that i share i have edited in milkshape (which is tedious as all hell to do for every age stage), and it bums me out to see someone reupload my sims without credit.

How To Dreamwidth: A Primer

the more friends ask me about dreamwidth, the more i realize i know a lot about this site that isn’t super obvious at first glance. so here is a primer for those of you thinking about making a dreamwidth account. this post ranges from your really basic starter tips to the completely esoteric things that come from using it for a decade.

2023 note: This post was written in 2018. While most of this post is still true, various features may have been changed or updated in the years since.

a what now? dreamwho?

Dreamwidth is a code fork of LiveJournal. A code fork means that they took LJ’s code (which used to be open source) and went their own direction with it. They still use the basic ideas behind LJ’s codebase, but have changed and improved upon it in various ways.

The core difference between DW and other websites is privacy isn’t an afterthought, but the central feature. You can lock posts, filter them to a select group, or make them visible to only you. I recommend reading through this section of DW’s FAQ for more on this.

When you make an account, you can subscribe (ie follow) and grant access to other users. Both of these are one-way – if A subscribes to B, that doesn’t automatically grant B access to all of A’s locked posts. Here’s more on this.

DW in general can be kind of confusing for people who have only used tumblr, but their FAQs are pretty good on the whole, and they’re searchable. If a website feature is confusing, start there.

okay, i have a journal. now what?

Customize it! DW doesn’t have all the latest and greatest features, but you can still make it your own. Here are some useful tips.

You can change your layout from Organize > Select Style. Mobile support is hit or miss, unfortunately, but there are some nice default layouts that work with it. You can also use this style for Practicality which makes DW fully mobile-friendly. If you’d rather design it yourself, Tabula Rasa is completely stripped down.

You can get premade DW layouts at the dreamwidthlayouts community. If you have trouble with your code, ask over at style_system.

Edit your profile! This is where you put your usernames for other social media sites, tell people a bit about yourself, and mention your interests. Your interests will be part of the interest search; it’s one way to find people.

Upload icons! Free accounts get 15 icons; paid accounts get 100 icons, premium accounts get 250 icons. You can use one icon in each entry and commment you make. It’s good form to put the maker of the icon in the comment section if you didn’t make it. If you got it from someone on tumblr, you can even link their blog using the code <user name=username site=tumblr>. (This works all across DW!)

While you can’t make pages, you can set a post to stick at the top of your journal, much like Twitter’s pinned tweets. Here’s how to do it.

You can also change how Dreamwidth itself looks, if you don’t like the red. Go to Account Settings > Display. Most other site display preferences are on that page.

While you’re here, look through the Account Settings > Privacy page. By default, your public entries will be included in site searches. You can turn it off at the bottom of the page if you want. You can also set it so your entries are automatically access-locked or private as well.

This got very long so the rest is behind the cut. (Now you really know I’m legit.)

what a not at all weird day to drop a legacy update

[pooklet]

hi y’all i just wanted to put you onto this fundraiser for the buffalo nations grasslands alliance. they’re trying to recoup some of the funds for black-footed ferret conservation on tribal grounds that the trump/musk administration has frozen, which is impacting not only the conservation efforts themselves but the livelihoods of the people working on them. the frozen grant is 1.1 million but this fundraiser has a goal of 50,000.

the fundraiser has 24 days left and has only reached 2% of its goal with 11 donations. black-footed ferrets are an endangered lazarus taxon that was thought to be extinct from 1979-1981 before being rediscovered by accident. they’re a miracle of conservation and it would be horrible to lose them for good, not to mention (again) the impact of people working with these animals losing their jobs which is outlined in the fundraiser link. indigenous-led conservation efforts are extremely important for a wide variety of reasons and as someone in the zoology area i feel obligated to share this fundraiser to contribute to those efforts.

i know that things are hard right now and there’s a lot of people and organizations all across the world that need help, so don’t feel pressured BUT if you have extra money and you can contribute to this fundraiser or share it with people who can that would be great.

super cute black-footed ferrets ^

this unchangeable sims 3 username has haunted me for so long... do you know how embarrassing it was to be 10 years old and lose my password? EA would only deal with password changes for this service over the phone, so i had to sit there with my mother as the guy asked "and what was the account name?"

[pooklet]

It’s probably easier to get a business degree than it is to get the sims to run well on a computer.

points were made

I genuinely feel ashamed that all I can do is write words while more and more Arab people die - but momentum for fundraisers is one of very few things any of us can do at the moment

Please donate to the Sameer Project. They are doing amazing work on the ground. Try to do what you can. Sharing and donating as little as 5 dollars can culminate into a big difference. I have enough of a following to know that we can make a truly big difference if this didn’t simply go ignored bc people decided they’re bored now
