Sims 2 female defaults dump

Hey ya'll,

So to celebrate my fabulous new pink-free simming experience, I decided to make a new Downloads folder, lol. Starting with CAS, I started getting myself some defaults for all the things, and since I recently learned how to make defaults for myself, I... uh... may have gotten a little carried away and made a few.

Some of these outfits may already exist as defaults for different things, I don't know, I was just making stuff that suited my folder and thought I'd share it with ya'll. So here you go!

Everyday defaults:

(1) ufbottomflaredpantssandles - replaced with these lovely pants by SkittlesSims. This will replace these pants for teens, young adults and adults - Download

(2) aftoptuckedwaist - replaced with these lovely tops by LucillaSims - Download

(3) afbottomshortshorts - replaced with these cute shorts by LucillaSims - Download

(4) aftopsleevelessshirt - replaced with this nice top from SkittlesSims (belted top) - Download

(5) afbottomchiqjeans & afbottomstarjeans (H&M) replaced with these lovely jeans by SkittlesSims (worn jeans) - Download Chiq Jeans / Download Star Jeans

afbodyexerciseep8 replaced with Kayleigh83's athletic outfits - I'm obsessed with these atm and have made them into many defaults!

DOWNLOAD

afbodydressonesleeve replaced with DeeDee's lovely Juliet gown

DOWNLOAD

Inspired by ElloSims and her awesome multi-wedding-dress-defaults for the "dressformaltrumpet", and my ADORATION and obsession with DeeDee's wedding dresses, here is a multi-part default for afbodydressweddinghourglass, with 5 of DeeDee's wedding dresses -

Halima Dress, Double Diamond, 3t2 off shoulder, Sentate's Lana Dress, and BEO's wedding dress 02 with morphs added by DeeDee!

DOWNLOAD

And along a similar vein, afbodydressweddingshort with moooore dresses by BEO and DeeDee -

4t2 Joliebean Olivia Dress, one left as default (cos I think it's kinda cute?), and BEO's Holiday Wedding Dress & Grown Up Wedding Dress with morphs added by DeeDee

DOWNLOAD

Thank you SO MUCH to the creators whose work I have used; converting clothes is hard!! We appreciate you so much ❤️ That's it for part 1, I will also have posts coming out over the next little while with male defaults, and some kids & teen defaults.

Enjoy! xo

about the error: the stackexchange people say don't touch it. my advisor says don't touch it. i don't want to touch it.

i think i have to touch it.

[exampleofinconsistency]

The Recruit but make it Clone Wars. Like, imagine it. There's a huge army stomping through the galaxy with a whole lot of - in their opinion - sentient chairs and some space wizards at the helm. There's battles and covert operations and at some point people are gonna have grievances. Sure, there's the big stuff like 'general Skywalker cut off some guy's head', but there's also little things like 'that clone ran his speeder into my backyard'. And what are you gonna do? You can't sue a clone. You can't. a) they're not people and b) they don't have money. So what are you gonna do? You file a grievance claim at the - let's call it the Bureau of Legal Claims Against The Grand Army Of The Republic. Or BLCAGAR, for short.

And imagine, if you will, Frank. He's fresh out of galactic law school and just happy to be here. He's glad he got this job because he's miles away from the big shit that keeps making the news, and he can sit in an office all day, and the forms are a nightmare, but hey, the clones he has to talk to are actually nice people so he doesn't mind at all. And he's actually good at this. For most incidents there's isn't really a reasonable explanation but Frank makes it sound good on paper and for what it's worth the clones are mostly really sorry for any harm that they caused. And then he gets another claim on his desk and it's harmless shit but it's the 1,238th bullshit claim and the clone that sits across from him trying to explain why he blew up a garden shed to save his friend looks so miserable Frank can't take it anymore. These are people who never asked for any of this and are being used, gaslit, and oppressed, and are just trying to do their best and survive. He goes absolutely feral on the case. He involves everyone. He files requests for the Kaminoan purchase orders; he digs up fine print that the Kaminoans can't even read; he subpoenas Jedis; he hauls in every witness he can get his hands on; he gets shot at, for some reason, and kidnapped, and people are threatening him with astoundingly creative violence if he keeps at it, but he's made some very capable identical friends who keep rescuing him, and Frank is definitely in over his head but he started this and by the stars, he's gonna finish it. He drags the GAR to court, which the press finds hilarious because now he's suing a multi-million-credits military complex that is like ninety percent people who can't get sued. There is a cacophony of actual person buttholes clenching when they realize that it's their ass on the line now. There's even a senate hearing. Even Dooku tunes in because he has got to hear this. And Frank's argumentation is so convoluted and complex and he brings up articles that are so old that the senate has to send people down to the archives to look them up. These paragraphs haven't been used in legal arguments for centuries but no one can refute them because they're still standing law since no one ever bothered to null them and the defense is running out of rebuttals because Frank keeps shooting them down with ever more obscure but sadly well founded arguments and that is pretty much how the clones got their rights. And I picture Cody and Rex standing in the rafters going 'Did he just-' and 'Yeah, I think he did'. But Frank isn't even close to done because now he drags Palpatine's ass to court. Make it fucking parking tickets, whatever. All he needs is one little reason because Frank has smelled blood now and he is very dilligent and he has zero hobbies and a whole lot of new friends. He gets shot at again, and threatened with knives and other interesting medical equipment, but it is becoming increasingly difficult for these assassins because now all the clones that are helping him are people and when you shoot one of those you go down for murder. And Frank plays it all up so big that public opinion swings in favor of the Jedi and Palpatine's plan is slowly going down the drain because now that the clones are officially people they can go to whichever hospital they want and the surgeons there go 'Uhm, sir, you have something in your brain. Would you like us to remove it?' because they don't know they're looking at fucking mind control chips, they just see something that doesn't belong because their machines haven't been fucked with beyond repair and they also take their health care seriously. And so Frank dumps a truckload of chips into Palpatine's lap and basically mic drops out of there while Palpatine gets arrested. The Empire never happens, clones are people, and Frank starts working at the space DMV because now there's like a gazillion new people applying for pilot licenses.

hiii sorry if youve gotten this question b4 but can i ask how youre playing sims 2? i know that theres ways to download it these days since u cant buy it anymore...but i dont know how trustworthy any of those options are lol its confusing! i love your little sims posts i think theyre so awesome theyre whats making me want to try the game out myself :D

oh hehe im glad ur enjoying them!!! ts2 is genuinely one of my FAVORITE games so i hope you like it too ^^ i have mine modded to shit so if u ever want any mod recs...

r/sims2help's wiki guide is really good, I would highly recommend using the web installer they link it makes it piss easy. I've installed the game using both the web installer and the g4tw torrent and the web installer is better lol. I've never had good luck with graphicsrulemaker though so u may have to go in and edit that file yourself (fixes the game not recognizing that ur gpu usnt a piece a 2004 shit basically)

I really recommend using lazyduchess's RPC launcher as well, the web installer will download it for you as an option. It fixes an important bug relating to sim genetics and fixes sim shadows without the need for a separate mod. There's quite a few other options too but I don't use them (like high quality lot imposters. crashes my game lol)

If you have an AMD graphics card, you may experience really long start times for your game (like itll show up in task manager for 10 minutes before actually launching) so like. DON'T panic i had this issue lol. You'll want to follow this guide to installing dxvk just don't install it if ur not having #problems bc it does have some tradeoffs.

I think that should be pretty much it as far as getting the game to run goes, there's a few mods that you'll want to have but I really would not worry about it until you know you're gonna be playing this game for a While bc some of their setups are really fucking annoying (clean neighborhood templates...)

If you have any questions at all feel free to DM me or send another ask!! We need more ts2 players lol ^^

Tracking Modifications to SQL Server Agent Jobs

Diving into Job History: The job history is like a diary, mostly talking about the when and what of job runs. It won’t tell you straight up who made changes, but it’s useful for piecing things together with what else you know. Auditing to the Rescue: If you’ve got auditing turned on and it’s keeping an eye on SQL Server Agent job changes, the audit logs are your go-to. You’ll want to zero in on…

Few things are as dystopian as having to explain to a bunch of underpaid low level beauraucrats, that you are in fact, very much alive even if you don't have the paperwork to prove it

Recall is designed to use local AI models to screenshot everything you see or do on your computer and then give you the ability to search and retrieve anything in seconds. There’s even an explorable timeline you can scroll through. Everything in Recall is designed to remain local and private on-device, so no data is used to train Microsoft’s AI models. Despite Microsoft’s promises of a secure and encrypted Recall experience, cybersecurity expert Kevin Beaumont has found that the AI-powered feature has some potential security flaws. Beaumont, who briefly worked at Microsoft in 2020, has been testing out Recall over the past week and discovered that the feature stores data in a database in plain text.

Holy cats, this is way worse than we were told.

Microsoft said that Recall stored its zillions of screenshots in an encrypted database hidden in a system folder. Turns out, they're using SQLite, a free (public domain) database to store unencrypted plain text in the user's home folder. Which is definitely NOT secure.

Further, Microsoft refers to Recall as an optional experience. But it's turned on by default, and turning it off is a chore. They buried it in a control panel setting.

They say certain URLs and websites can be blacklisted from Recall, but only if you're using Microsoft's Edge browser! But don't worry: DRM protected films & music will never get recorded. Ho ho ho.

This whole debacle feels like an Onion article but it's not.

Luckily(?) Recall is currently only available on Windows 11, but I fully expect Microsoft to try and shove this terrible thing onto unsuspecting Win10 users via Update.

Stay tuned...

Moyo's Great Big Afterglow Default Project

HOORAH! 🥳Finally I can share with you guys! There's a lot to get through here so some notes beforehand.

There are way, way too many hairs to list and people to credit. See everything that's included and who all deserves credit in the spreadsheet I made for this project!

Not every hair is replaced! I don't know much about hidden clone hairs, for example. Some of them are replaced if the default I used as a base included them but most probably are not.

I chose to hide a bunch of the OFB hats and whatnot when I was starting to get burnt out of this project. See what hairs I've hidden on the hiders tab of the spreadsheet. Hiders are not included, but there's a link to them.

There's a few defaults I'm using from loosiap, rudhira and seabens. They are not included, see those in the defaults by others tab of the spreadsheet.

I use a bunch of no/random npc hair mods so not all npc hairs are replaced. See those in the no/random npc tab of the spreadsheet.

I use custom turn ons that change the one for hats so a lot of the hat hairs are replaced with non-hat hairs. I think most of the flags in simpe are changed to non-hat too but not positive - some might still be hat flagged.

Defaults where all I did was change the texture that didn't contain extra ages include them in a separate file because I didn't want to add them to the main file and mess anything up. Defaults done by me have them included in the main file.

Nearly every default has extra ages, but a few do not.

The Notes column of the spreadsheet mostly contains notes I wrote for myself regarding the custom versions of hairs I retextured (which will all be uploaded) but some of them do apply to the default too. I'm so brain fried though so I'm leaving it in the sheet. You can generally ignore - or read them if you want!

Defaults are in their own folders, and include a pic of the hair they're replacing and a pic of what they're replaced with...if the kind people on the default database are bored.

I'd never made a default replacement for hair before this so if any of these are not made in the best, most optimal way, apologies. I was learning as I went!

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE reach out if you notice any wonkiness. This was worked on over 3 of the most stressful months of my life so I'd not be surprised if I screwed anything up. Also if I forgot to mention anything in this post that you'd like to know, don't hesitate to ask that too!

I hope you enjoy! 😁

[catbrokensims3]

Thank you!! ❤

Hello guys, I guess this is it. The big project I was mentioning a few times, is ready to be revealed.

I hereby present to you: TS3 Buy-Build Defaults Database!

...a database made with Google Spreadsheets that aims to list every buy and build items in TS3 and Expansion/Stuff Packs (excluding Katy Perry --I don't have it T_T), with their corresponding default replacements if there is any. Alternatively this can also be used as reference for object names and which pack they come from and they do also come with thumbnail photos to visualize each object as how they are in the catalog.

I would also like to announce the corresponding tumblr page for this database, @ts3bbddb to serve as contact should there be questions, feedback, or to send download links for defaults via ask/message. Of course you may also contact me for similar purposes..

As of this moment, the database is still in a work in progress (you see Katy Perry pack is still missing hihihi) but rest assured this will be continually worked on and help for sure will be very welcome!

Forever for TS3, aisquared. With love..

P.S. Shoutout to @bioniczombie for making @4t3bbdatabase, which heavily inspired this database to be created.

[microscotch]

yes that's really how i named it.

here's a bunch of default face templates. all the extra info + dl link is down there ⬇

i tried avoiding same faced-ness as much as i could while putting these together, but to be double sure i also included some sims by other creators i asked permission 500 years ago (it took me A BIT longer than expected)

the male base sim for 16/pat and female base sim for 25/maggie & 26/bree are by tvickiesims, 20/rhiannon is by platinumaspiration, 21/witches is by serabiet, 18/maxxx is by yakumtsaki and 23/lyta is by esotheria!

here's a folder with all the images you're seeing up there so you can properly zoom in! and here you can see them without cc:

🚨 BEFORE YOU DOWNLOAD make sure you have archfixes to unbork the chronically borked templates! additionally, you can unhide the elf template with this mod. 🚨

that should be all i think? let's get to the actual download

MERGED / UNMERGED

for the database:

(and making non-defaults as per my and every involved creator's tou is ofc permitted! 🌸)

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.

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.

Some of my favorite Simblrs (in no particular order)

@deedee-sims

@creesims

@letomills

@platinumaspiration

@fracturedmoonlight

@lucilla-sims
