The Sims 2 Apartment Life Neighborhood Theme: slightly different Theme used in trailer

The trailer of the 100 million copies sold announcement features a slightly different track from the Apartment Life theme. The guitar sounds a bit more... Distorted? I'm not sure if it's the correct word (even though I DO play the electric guitar a lot) but it sounds a bit different than the one in-game. You can hear it for yourself

The Sims Bustin Out Cut Player Hairstyle and UI

I noticed these two images from the an old gaming newsletter. It shows an early hairstyle of the pigtails hairstyle the player and Nora Zeal-Ott wear in-game and an earlier UI. The early sprite for the player portrait also shows that it was actually supposed to be Frans old hairstyle before it got changed to be her Cut TSBO hair instead.

This would explain the inconsistent in-game model sprite too as it looks normal in the portrait and the CAS screen but was left as the old hairstyle.

(SHE HAS EYES)

it also features the fridge and the telephone on opposite sides than how they're found in game. Also for some reason the sin in the bathroom is missing and the window was moved away from the shower

"Many simmers have found moral failings with cheating sims since the game was released"

You ever read something and know that someone was not in the fandom in the 2000s? Girl, our sims were doing literal child cannibalism. We were so far beyond being triggered by infidelity.

While I am a Sims 2 girl at heart, I did play the Sims 3, and, as a result, I too have been cursed with the knowledge of Katy Perry’s Sweet Treats Stuff Pack.

Wayback Machine is a GREAT tool. It just has a few issues. The number one issue is that it isn't great at crawling. Normal HTML sites are no problem but more complex sites like forums and especially blogs are hard for it to navigate. It tends to get only very small pieces of LiveJournal for example. The entire official Sims 3 forum from 2009-2017(?) is just gone because Wayback wasn't able to access it.

As I've talked about over the past few years, I'm trying to archive a lot of CC with Archive.org. This works well for most older sites but not so well with newer ones. Plus, I'm focusing on custom content more than webpages and stories.

Stories, that people put hours and hours into, legacies, forum posts, pictures, blog posts, all things that are just TOO numerous for me to even make a dent in on my own.

Buuuut, if I could get a bunch of simmers who were actively viewing blogs and downloading content and reading forum posts to archive every post they viewed that could do something!

Wayback Machine Auto-Archiver is a bot that archives all PUBLIC webpages that you visit to the wayback machine. Think of it as a bot that follows you around taking a shot of every blog you visit. Obviously, this isn't just for Sims content but it would certainly help the community who may go looking for the content that you archived after it's LONG gone from the internet.

The auto-archiver is a simple extension. If you're running Chrome or Edge you simply install it like any other extension and then you surf the web like always.

The more simmers who use it, the more content gets archived. Also, it's entirely anonymous. If you're a lurker and you've never made or posted anyway, think of this as a way to give back!

Download it here and please reblog!

(I will be reblogging this post several times)

Listen up. I'm a subscriber to LindaSim and IrenBetts, and not once have I ever dreamed of leaking their work. Why? Because I actually respect these creators—I see how hard they grind to make something beautiful. What kind of twisted logic says they owe you this for free? Are you out of your damn mind?!

Go get a factory job if you love self-sacrifice so much, you damn "altruist." Or better yet—go help some homeless folks, hand out cash. At least then you’d do actual good and get to flaunt your "kindness" for clout.

Ugh. Your rant is disgusting. Absolute leech. If you want to talk to me, I'm waiting for you to visit: https://boosty.to/april_angel

Sims 2 Car Sedan Career Usable/Drivable

Hey, I've said this before on reddit but I don't think it's gotten that much attention. I'd be interested if someone could do a recolor or clone of the Science Level 4 "Sedan" Maxis race car. It's similar to the NL purchasable vehicle but with slight differences.

Sedan Carpool

Right The Yomoshoto Evasion

I look forward to your responses and would love it if anyone could do it by recoloring or cloning.

PS: Let's make NPC maxis cars drivable 😉
