hi mimi ❤️ if it's still ok to request hairs, do you think you could convert marsosims cora braids and dogsil's rowena braids please? also if they're high poly it's ok if you don't wanna do them even if you like them too. i try not to use hair above 15k and mostly download hairs under 10k cause i have a mod to allow more sims on community lots and it gets hard on the game lol. but even if you need to say no, thanks very much!

hi!

i like these hairs a lot and they're both pretty low poly so i'll convert them both for you :).

for reference, i usually don't convert hairs that are above 20k (with the exception of some daylifesims hairs) but both of the hairs you requested are under 10k so they probably won't be too hard on people's games

[rascalcurious]

to be fair to the converters, the poly counts for sims 4 alpha hairs have also gone off the rails. a lot of alpha hairs are now in the 50-70k poly range, and i imagine it would be pretty hard to make one of those hairs low poly while still having it look good.

i usually don't convert alpha hair but whenever i do, i'll usually convert them at a lower LOD because i want them to be usable in live mode and not just for pictures. i also won't convert high poly hairs if they don't look good at a lower LOD / don't have LODs at all

it's been ages since I've downloaded hair, and it's something that gets talked about to death, but I'm still like genuinely shocked at some of these poly counts

24k polys for a bun with a few hair strands?? it just does not seem necessary by any stretch lol

like as janky as they can look nowadays, there's a reason that a lot of 2004-2012 TS2 meshes had flat planes that could be alpha edited to appear as different shapes (also that's how most EAxis hair was made)

even game devs are running into the wall of aesthetic vs. performance, and the fact that not a small amount of recently released games run at 15FPS until they release a Day One Patch while the game takes up 47GBs of hard drive space, it seems clear which choice was made lol

wikipedia no longer being anywhere near the top of search results when looking up anything feels eviscerating

i’m extremely entertained by how all the sims 2 premades are interpreted in all sorts of various and different ways, except lazlo curious, who is almost always unilaterally interpreted as “weed uncle.”

A little trans joy for your feed, featuring Celeste Michaelson (The Sims 4's first pre-made Sim to be officially recognised and referred to as transgender).

Trans people, we love you and support you.

🩵🩷🤍

[rascalcurious]

In light of politics coming out of the UK, USA, and many other countries lately, I thought maybe I should just post a reminder that transphobes are NOT welcome on any of my blogs. I don't care if you like the subjects I post about. If I catch you, you will be blocked. I fucking hate you and hope you either change or suffer consequences of your bigotry.

And to any fellow trans people reading this, especially trans women: You are loved.

[rascalcurious]

is this how i learn that ted from four rooms got put into a sims game???

the resemblance is uncanny

Hey everyone it seems there a malicious individual trying to hack the sims cc community again and fill it with malware you need to stay vigilant as a creator and a downloader so

i have some tips for both to stay safe while downloading:

1- sims cc file extension is always .Package never download anything that is .exe

2- do not auto unpack zip files and rar files into your mods folder directly, open each zip or rar individually check the file extensions and drag them to your mods folder one by one

3- the only mods that have a .ts4script extension are ones that affect gameplay or how the game works, understand that if you are downloading cas or bb items you shouldn't have a .ts4script file

4- if you are downloading gameplay mods that do have .ts4script make sure that A) the creator hasn't announced on their pages that its infected B) you are downloading from a link provided by the creator of the mods themselves not something off of google or a link you got sent and make sure dates of upload match dated of announcements

5- if the mod or cc creator has retired and hasn't posted for a while LOOK AT THE DATES OF THE UPLOAD if it has been "updated recently" after the creator has left the community its most likely re-uploaded by a hacker and infected

6- download mod gaurd by Twisted mexi and keep it updated and keep your windows defender or malware detector Program up to date and always running do not disable it

7- make sure everything you download comes from a direct link from the cc creator, in this day and age do not trust link shortners, adfly, linkverse, etc get the universal bypass extension and ublock extension to stay safe but genuinely NEVER CLICK ON THOSE no matter how much the creator reassures you its safe it. is. NOT.

8- this is more of a general saftey precaution but, create a system restore point weekly before you run the game with new mods that way if anything happens you could have a chance to restore your windows to an earlier date before you downloaded anything.

9- BACK UP YOUR SHIT im serious right now either weekly or monthly put your files somewhere safe like a usb a storage card a hard drive even an online cloud if you dont have any of the previous.

10- files you should back up are your media from games and media everything else, any mods, games saves, work files, passwords, saved bookmarks, any documents txt files word files pdfs, links you saved, brushes or actions for Photoshop if you have any, any digital bills or certificates if you have any, and keep a physical list of all programs you have installed and where you installed them from

11- turn on any 2 factor authentication and security measures for any account you have

12- google and firefox have the option to check your paswords and emails against any data leaks USE THIS FEATURE and change any leaked passwords

13- regularly check your logged in sessions to make sure all the logged in devices or computers are yours and log out any that aren't and any old devices or unused sessions do this for every website and app you have an account on if available

14- change your passwords often. I know this is a hassle i know its hard to come up with new passwords but changing your passwords every few months will help you against anything mention previously that wasn't detected.

15- and as a cc creator check your cc and the accounts you host cc on and its uplaod and update dates make sure nothing has been changed without your permission :(

16- generally try not to get swept up in the "i must get it" fever you do not need to "shop" for mods weekly or monthly you do not need to download everything by that one creator you do not need to download new cc everytime you want to make a sim, im guilty of this so i know how hard it is to resist but take a breath and think "do i want this or do i need it" before downloading.

These are prevention methods i cant claim they are 100% will prevent any hacking but its better to be safe than sorry and these do keep you safe so

List of Sims 2 Custom Content (CC) Sites

Something for any sims 2 newbies who might stumble upon my tumblr. This is not an exhaustive list, just some web sites and blogs I know of and like.

Just a little warning first, english is my second language and while I read it fluently, I have some trouble with phrasing stuff. So the following might be a bit wonky.

Multiple Creators

Mod the Sims: one of the biggest sims 2 sites, also has content for the other sims games

Garden of Shadows: it's forum but you don't need to register to see or download stuff, also has content for sims 3 and sims 4

simblr.cc: quite new, also has content for the other sims games plus inZOI

Plumb Bob Keep: CC for historic themed games, the Download section is visible without registration

Sims2Artist: another forum

Simspearls: forum, registration needed before you can access it.

Creators with their own sites

Nixed Sims: Has historic and modern themed content

LordCrumps: Sims 4 to Sims 2 conversions

Around the Sims 2: inactive, but has lots of nice stuff. Creator is still actively making CC for Sims 3 and Sims 4.

Pick'n'Mix Mods: they made some really practical utility programs for the game

The Medieval Smithy: mostly medieval CC but you can find some CC for other eras too.

Some of my favorite Simblrs (in no particular order)

@deedee-sims

@creesims

@letomills

@platinumaspiration

@fracturedmoonlight

@lucilla-sims

My CC is trans, and if you put it in your game, your game is now trans. Thems the breaks. That goes for hair retextures, object recolors, literally anything that I make, I make it from a position of gender inclusivity, and love for my community. Someone else using my resources to make their own CC? Still trans. You cannot separate my content from my inherent transness. I love you trans women I love you trans men I love you nonbinary people I love you people who are so gender and people who are no gender and people who are some gender and people who are indifferent to gender. My blog is for you, my CC is for you, and for those who love and supports us.
