Hello everyone, missed me?

Well, let's just say that I may have made a new posebox, but I'm facing an issue. I have some poses where the sim can walk mid-pose and it's not supposed to. I tried to search online but found nothing, it's like as if I'm the only one who had this issue. I'm testing it on a completely Maxis sim but I don't think that's the problem since a few poses work just fine :(

If someone knows how to fix it, I would love it, I need to finish this posebox, it's been on process for too long.

Klira sims 2 boosty cc

hi guys this is a link to kliras cc from their boosty. (because screw paysites) doesent include poseboxes. but every article of clothing they have uploaded should be there should be around 50 items as their boosty does not include thier old patreon stuff (cause im not giving them anymore money for basically conversions lmao) + it seems they arent active anymore.

download here

(file format is like that because i use linux but winrar / 7zip should be able to unzip it)

Attention: TS2 CC hoarders like me who use collections

WARNING: This info is from my own findings, so it's not guaranteed fact. I am no programmer or modder, so take it with a grain of salt. Just thought it's something I should share!______________________________________________________________

So, I've concluded that TS2 has a hard limit of 255 for the number of custom collections you can make.

I also believe making objects collection-only (i.e. hiding them in the catalog so they can only be accessed through a collection) will break a lot if you do it after packaging it and try to place the lot.

I currently have ~7 GB of build/buy CC in my game and TONS of deco, which I sort into other categories so I don't have 100 pages of deco misc and sculptures (yes, I know, I have no self-control). I still have trouble finding things so I use collections and constantly make new ones. I always wondered if there was a limit on how many you can create.

Last night I made a new collection, and the game crashed every time I loaded collections and clicked on not only that one, but *any* collection. I know very little about programming but I do know 256 is a hard limit number in many games. Sure enough, I had 255 custom collections. I deleted some and the issue persisted. I came to the conclusion that it corrupted something - possibly the CustomCollections file the game creates in the Collections folder, because my objects.package files are unaltered.

Thankfully this was a recently-created game folder with a new hood with nothing but a few pre-packaged lots plopped down, so I didn't lose anything and fuck it, started a new game folder.

And now for the other issue:

I had an unplayed lot I built that had lots of deco, and when I placed it in my new hood, it refused to load. I remembered I had made a lot of that deco collection-only after I packaged the lot in my old game and before I installed it in my new one. I previously also had this same issue doing the same thing with poseboxes. Again, no sims had ever been moved into this game. I always use Chris Hatch's lot cleaner when I save lots, even if unplayed, to be safe.

I restored the deco to the catalog using Object Relocator but it still wouldn't load. So I placed the lot in my test game, which reverted everything to Maxis content. I deleted all deco items (and a bar because it spawned an NPC), used the lot cleaner again, and placed it back in my gameplay hood. It loaded fine.

TL;DR: You cannot create more than 255 custom collections or it will fuck up something and make your game crash. Don't hide items you've placed on a lot from the catalog or it'll break the lot.

Again, this is not gospel, just from my own experiments, but I hope this is helpful to someone!

types of cc I don't fuck with

outerwear - my game doesn't have a winter and I can't stand when sims are constantly changing back and forth between outerwear and their normal clothes. there's also just not a lot of outerwear cc that matches my game's aesthetic anyway.

accessory socks - the finickiness around which bottoms they do and don't work with is too frustrating for me

body shapes - i feel bad about this one because the sims 2 is terribly lacking in body diversity, but having to download corresponding outfits for every category and skins(?) is just too much for me. my catalog is bursting at the seams as it is

default replacements that are just a slight texture edit of the maxis thing - i am not detail oriented enough to care about stuff like this

mods that make the game way easier - imo the game is already too easy

townified skins - I micromanage the looks of my NPCs too much for this

multi-PT mods: one is enough for me, I don't want extra sims cloggin my neighborhood

anything that comes in multiple wood tones - TOO MUCH BROWN

bed blankets - I don't like how wonky they look when sims use the bed

deco sims - heebie-jeebies

basically all CAS stuff that comes in 10+ colors - I hate when you get to a page in the catalog and the whole page is just recolors of the same thing. Don't need that many of anything.

teenage pregnancy mods - nah

those old cc clothes that make female sims ridiculously thin - heebie-jeebies

omsps and poseboxes that require them - too much work for me

story progression - i am a control freak

Hi, how can I put the two together in the bathtub, is it a mod or cc?

Hiya! it's a posebox from @imaginaryboutique found HERE. I also was able to put Dia on a walk-through OSMP while Boston took a bath so even then, it looked like they were bathing together. But the still images are from the posebox.

A quick tutorial for something you might never need, but might be interested in: side eyes!

What the heck are those?

A pair of 'side eyes' is, effectively, a pair of 'contacts' your sims can wear. They will cover the eyes that they have only cosmetically. And they aren't even a new thing either!

fkn enormous gif sweet jesus

They are super easy to make, so you might as well know how to do it, in case you need them!

A pair of side eyes will make any sim wearing them look as if they are quite literally, "👀"

You can of course, get a sim to do this with any number of poseboxes that contain face gestures (here's one for example)

But, what if you wanted just the 👀 look, layered on top of whatever other motions/face gestures your sim already had?

That's where a pair of side eyes comes in.

They are very useful for preview pictures and storytelling.

IDK what else you would use them for, but that's what I use them for.

Let's go!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

open yer bodyshop

Unless you've already extracted your eye texture, you will need to grab that. Most likely, you will be making your side eyes from your defaults. Mine are these.

this is the eye texture

You could make your side eyes as costume makeup. If you don't ever make CC yourself, a personal use pair of side eyes as costume makeup should work for you just fine.

Costume makeup wears over any other makeup your sim is wearing.

HOWEVER, I like to use mine as a blush. Specifically, a multi-layerable blush. If you want to do that too, just make sure you make your side eyes multi-layerable.

But as far as effectiveness goes, costume makeup or multi-layerable blush work exactly the same.

Pick your poison and extract the project

Name it

Now that we have a project package, we have some files to look at

The SWATCH

The TEXTURE

and the ALPHA

This is what my alpha looks like.

When it comes to the UVmapping of a TS2 face, the eyes are mapped in the upper left corner. So, we will need to change this alpha to reflect that

This is the texture for the eyes. See how it's in the upper left corner like I mentioned?

Make that black and white (white for yes texture, black for no texture) and BOOM. Save.

This is our blush texture

Copy and paste the eye texture on it and save

Look! You have basically made a pair of contacts. Also a useful thing to know if you need to do that.

We want them to look 👀 however

We are going to take that eye texture and move it UP ^^^

Not a lot! 3 clicks, maybe 5. Whatever you feel gives you a result you like

A little or a lot! The choice is yours fack why is this gif so dang big

And there! A pair of side eyes for you.

And some action shots to showcase how they work.

I hope you find this helpful!

Directory of downloads

Since Tumblr is now where I share my stuff when I do share, I suppose there will come a time when scrolling through would get tedious for you, the reader, and Origami suggested I make a directory post to make it easier for people to find what they may want. Great idea, so here we are :)

If you have problems the fastest way to reach me is through discord, my username is gummilutt. You can also find me in the discord server Sims Crafters (click for invite). DM here on tumblr on MTS will also work, but I make no promises about fast replies.

Policy is open, do what you like. A tag is always appreciated, because it is fun to see what people make with your work :)

I do not take requests, sorry :) I am however always happy to give advice on how to make something yourself, in the modding channel on SimsCrafters (invite above). If you aren't interested in learning to make what you want yourself, my advice is to use publicly available forums to post your ideas (Hacks & CC thread on MTS, ideas channel on Crafters etc), and if you are lucky a modder will see it, like it and make it.

Still bad at tumblr...buried new pics behind 'read more' cut in a reblog...defeats the point of pictures!

Peni said:

(P.S., I'm pretty sure that's Mary, voted "Girl Most Likely to Pull a Cart" four years in a row in high school.)

Mary. Of course, it's Mary!

But you get all the cookies, or virtual sweets of your choosing, for making me delirious-laugh at that line. I've gotten plenty of sleep since and it still cracks me up. Maybe because she is high school age here. And with only two classmates she'd also be voting that for herself for it to stick, lol.

Doesn't surprise me that most sim stories aren't finished. When Life happens, and it will, this time-consuming hobby with no visible objective value will be one of the first things to go. It brings in no money(unless maybe you've got a decent Youtube following). And the emotional satisfaction of writing a story and of having someone read said story are, as you allude to, rather different things.

I spent a dozen years (more if you count TS1) telling myself stories with this game, with no interest or intention of sharing them. I loved that way of playing the game and at a story level there's no real qualitative difference as I am, basically, the same sims player and the same storyteller. I couldn't create my own poses then (a skill that's become both the best and the worst thing to happen to me as a simmer!) but I still made liberal use of poseboxes just as soon as they came on the scene, for pictures no one but me was ever going to see. And still it's such a different endeavour putting these things together for an audience, real or imagined.

But anyway, my point was that I'm not so sure it was always the case that most sim stores weren't finished. Maybe. I never read Exchange stories when the Exchange was around but I feel like a lot of the ones I read archived on that clockwatching site were completed. (Hope that site's still up. Been a few years since I checked...) And yeah, I guess, most of the old stories on LJ weren't really completed but a lot of them went on for years and years - with dozens or maybe even over a hundred chapters - so it didn't really feel like an abrupt, 'wait, wha' happened?' when reading them. And I think that's a function of community and engagement, which is ironic since sooo much more of the community is here on simblr, but it's not really designed for more than ephemeral engagement.

I was lucky in that even though I didn't finally join LJ until it was dying, there were still enough active simmers there that finding friends was way easier than 'accumulating' followers. (Find folks writing stories you like. Tell them why you like it. Easy peasy. Not so with tumblr which also operates on a kind of 'clout' since it's a kind of social media.) I've noticed the new Communities thing that's been rolled out (new to me) and even on those devoted to storytelling I still don't see much traction getting people to respond to words with words, which I suspect is the currency most writers most want.

Oh well, I'm just an old-head, ranting at time itself, wishing forums were a thing again.

End ramble. (But it's just wild to remember a world where a perfectly ordinary - but funny - sim story post might have 10 or 20 or 30 actual comments and responses whereas now getting 10 whole likes on a non-cc post means you're winning at simblr, lol.)

I was today years old when I learned that you could use the antique camera aspiration reward (as well as the instant cameras included in epi's camera mod) to take your own family photos / portraits (or rather... tricking the game into THINKING you took them). I've always loved how Sims 4 has a variety of ways that you can take photographs of your sims / families, especially in Legacies and I'm excited that we have a way to do it in the Sims 2 now. This YouTube video was a big help.

To sum up the video / offer a jist of how to do this: the first step would be posing sims however you want them (you can use poseboxes, omsps, ect) or carrying out an action you'd like to have the photo of. I didn't use anything fancy here, merely had the sim pictured here cuddle her baby. Once you've got your desired photo, you take a screen shot. I use RPC / ReShade, so I can use PrintScreen and my pictures are saved to my Sims 2 Screenshot folder in high quality. Don't use the in-game screen shot tool, as the pictures will be blurry / low quality.

Once you have your photo, you'll need to crop it- either vertically as a portrait picture, or horizontally for a landscape picture. Size doesn't matter, but keep in mind that photos from the camera can either be hung on the wall or placed on a surface in a stand-up frame- so be mindful of the dimensions. Once you've cropped your desired photo, you can edit it further how you please in Photoshop, Gimp, or whatever program you like to use. This picture I edited in Photoshop with a PSD (though it also includes color/lighting from the ReShade I'm using). Jazz it up however you want.

Once you have your photo exactly how you want it, save the photo (place doesn't matter) as Snapshot.bmp. It must be named Snapshot and it must be a bmp file. Photoshop includes some various 'options' when saving a BMP file- I used the default options without any issue. Once you've got your file, direct a/your sim to take a photo with the antique camera (either get it as an aspiration reward or use a mod to be able to buy it from the catalogue at cost/for free- your choice). Epi's cameras can be used as well, but I've not used those yet- you'd want one of the cameras that allows instant pictures. When your sim begins to snap the photo, you're going to get the screen shot box, and it'll tell you to press C to take the picture. At this point, pause your game. Then press C.

After you've pressed C, with your game still paused- you're going to go into your storytelling folder (this is located generally Documents > EA Games > Sims 2 > Storytelling; YMMV (your mileage may vary) depending on your install path, but you're wanting the storytelling folder located in the same folder as your Downloads where you keep your CC). When you go into your Storytelling folder, you will see a myriad of picture files but at the very front should be two files that look like whatever you snapped a shot of in game: one file is named Screenshot.bmp and the other is named Snapshot.bmp. With your game still paused, copy or cut your edited photo and paste it into your Storytelling folder, overwriting the current Snapshot.bmp file. After that, you're done! Unpause your game and let your sim go through the action- they'll take the 'photograph' using the camera and et voilà- out will pop the photo that you took and edited! From there, it can be pulled off of the camera and either hung on the wall or placed on a surface.

My beautiful test subjects pictured in their photographs are Jane and Joe Newbie with their new born twins: Mark and Suzie.

hi Allie :)

can you tell me where i can find the ashtray/cigarette from your cards against humanity cc post? the CAH box is such a great idea btw!

https://www.tumblr.com/potential-fate/770132104705130496/cards-against-humanity-deco-item?source=share

I'm glad you like the CAH set :)

The ashtray and cigarette are from Adele and Decorgal's Prop Box posebox set (which I highly recommend if you do storytelling), but you can get just the deco/buy items here on Adele's page.

😢😢My whole laptop blew away FEW DAYS AGO

Okay, so Today I am happy that my bios has been restored. But ALL MY CCs went away. 29 thousand files and now I don't know how to react. I am so sad that I might not continue playing sims 2 anymore. I had created a packaged haunted lot and that stayed. My old series of the good witch and the evil warlock will have to be discontinued because they are gone. The new series that I was working is gone before I could even upload the first episode. Even though I have the first episode with me so I may upload it. I may now try to play SIMS 4 for a while but I am not sure.

@antisocialbunnysims THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR EVERYTHING BUDDY!!! I will forever be grateful to Sims 2 because I got a friend like you. I won't stop watching your videos or rebloging your blogposts lol.

@grilledcheese-aspiration You have been really helpful friend too!! You helped me make GUID for my first posebox!

@kalux-sims YOU TOO BUDDY!!! THANKS FOR YOUR HELP!

@jacky93sims Sorry for pestering you for making stufff!!! ALWAYS had fun using your objects. Had ton of them.

AND MORE.... I AM ACTUALLY SO SAD rn. BUT I LOVE SIMS 2 SO MUCH AND WILL FOREVER LOVE SIMS 2!!!
