Sims 2 CC Mega Post

I say 'mega' but there really isn't a whole lot, I just didn't wanna split it up. Anyway, yeah, I mostly and normally and prefer to make Sims 4 stuff, but I made some Sims 2 stuff for me last year and this and I figured, may as well share it. Most of these require outside meshes so keep that in mind, Sims 2 CC downloading is a bloody nightmare.

Alex Skin

So I made a custom skin with tattoos for Alex as it seemed simple enough to do. Ain't gonna look perfect, but it looks fine from a distance, same resources I used for my Sims 4 versions, so I did vector the rose and skull. I based the skin off these default replacements. You don't NEED these, but they make it so that everyone matches. Yes that site requires an account and login, it's NSFW, it has body hair and works with nudity. Because obviously I play with mods like that. I made the skin look right for Fit/Thin/Fat but I didn't bother with any age but adult nor did I bother with female, because, idc. I THINK this is Alex's hair mesh, but idfk, I have so many that look like this.

It also works in Castaway Stories, as does all of these, because I used them in it too. :> That made Alex the palest guy on the island as all the skin tones in Castaway Stories were shifted to one tone darker per. I manually put my replacement skin in that too, but I didn't have the darkest, so no body hair to them.

Streaked Jack Hair

You need this mesh to make this work. I made this for myself as I didn't really like anything else I had for him, and this is Sims 2, so I went with earlier hair, and I liked how this mesh looked. Loosely based on like this hair. I didn't bother with other ages beyond adult again. I would have if I decided to de-age him and send him to university, but I did that with Otto instead.

Again also works in Castaway Stories, as I used it, again. It's easy to import Sim's faces from 2 into the stories games.

Awsten Tricolor Hair

Awsten Red Hair

You need this mesh to make this work. The bright green in that is also great and I used that for him at first. These are his eyes too, or rather his right eye. No screenshots of the red hair, but it's just a bright plain red in case you prefer it. I made this hair as it looked okay with the colors kind of being randomly spread around the mesh. This is his outfit btw. Again only works with adult as far as I'm aware.

BONER Shirt

R&R Shirt

NoRegRetsShirt

JALEXShirt

BMTHShirt1

BMTHShirt2

BMTHShirt3

BMTHShirt4

You need this mesh to make these work. All of these are Everyday fashion only by account of only the Everyday category having the option for separates and these are all tops. Don't ask me what pants I use, I have so many downloaded, but these work with all of them.

As it turns out I didn't take screenshots of all of these ingame, but maybe these help with that.

PTV Hoodie

DropDead Hoodie

You need this mesh for the PTV hoodie. I don't THINK the DD hoodie needs anything external, I compared it to a vanilla mesh and it seemed to line up. I don't know, I made it last December and I didn't log everything I did. Like the shirts above, Everyday category only as they are tops.

As a bonus, here's some misc Sims 2 screenshots to hit the image limit, including this stuff and with no context to my game. I know most people on modern computers play with The Ultimate Collection, but I installed it via discs, and a few ISOs as I didn't feel like spending $30+ for a few missing stuff packs on eBay. :) Pretty sure those ISOs are why my game is British and I have to always manually set the clock and a few other small things every time I load it. Not a big deal to me, just felt I'd mention for clarity. Castaway Stories is from an ISO too as have you SEEN those prices on eBay?! I have Sims 3 on Disc too, 100%, never made any CC for it tho. I love how Sims 2 was out at the peak of, ahem, mid to late 2000s culture so a lot of CC for it is of it's time in the best possible way. I kept this theme going with adding in custom music that ONLY existed from before 2009 (so 2008 is my cut-off date) and it's fun only hearing music of the era ingame. :) I DID make stuff for Sims 1 too years ago but I don't know how I even really did it so idk how to make more and also I don't care that much. I wanted to try playing with Alex and Jack in Sims 1 too but I kept getting fucked up files that didn't work or look right and I didn't know what I needed to do to make it right and I didn't wanna waste more time than I already did trying to make their faces. I do have semi-not ugly faces and outfits for a couple others tho.

Oh yeah, all this stuff is made in the Body Shop and GIMP for textures.

outside of tumblr, where I mostly see my italian mutuals having a blast, the offline reactions I've seen about popegate come from queer catholics who feel betrayed, disappointed, hurt by the pope being homophobic and. I'm begging you to cut ties with the catholic church. I'm serious. I'm not telling you what to believe and what not to as an individual, in your personal life, but that institution is never, ever going to be on your side. emotionally investing in it, trying to assimilate in the vain hope it'll eventually embrace you, financing it in any way... that's a mistake and you need to stop it. for your sake, if not for the sake of everyone else the church screws over.

Dude

Being a PTV fan is actually crazy because I never have recollection of liking PTV or listening to their songs. But everytime I hear a PTV I activate like a sleeper agent and suddenly I know the lyrics.

This is not counting King For A Day anymore bc Tik Tok made sure I know those lyrics but still.

[evo-is-obsessed]

A “Pov: u snapped | vent playlist” but instead of all the songs being “ive been wronged and traumatized and im angry about it” they more so just give a purely unhinged vibe- like when you’re at a water park and you go in a tube slide and it’s a bunch of crazy neon colors flying past you super fast, and the urge to laugh maniacally, and everything is high pitched and you’re actually just batshit insane. You don’t even feel hurt anymore. You’ve just ascended beyond this plane.

On Politeness vs Helpfulness

Two stories for you.

January 2018, my little town in rural Wisconsin was experiencing a cold snap. It was not record levels, but it was still very much cold enough to kill if you were unprepared. I was working ten to twelve hour shifts in a factory four towns away for 11 dollars an hour. When I woke at five AM for my shift, I discovered that my car wouldn’t start. The battery was flat dead - a common occurrence when temperatures dropped so suddenly. I couldn’t afford to miss a shift - on top of likely being fired for even a single sick day, I genuinely wouldn’t be able to afford rent.

I called my brother who lived two towns away, mostly to seek advice. He started swearing at me, hung up the phone, and was on his way. An hour of yelling and swearing and insults later, my car was running, and I was on my way to work. It was unpleasant - my brother and I didn’t have the best relationship - but he still *risked his life* in order to make sure I could make rent.

October 2022. I was in Oakland, California for Second Sky, a music festival. A few weeks earlier I had injured my knee at work. I was mostly healed, but I had brought my crutch to the show out of an abundance of caution. I had just gotten into the festival with @swarmingbats and I was given a task - get some drinks while she got into the merch line.

Second Sky was an experience, with landmarks made by the prop masters that created the Hogwarts theme park. There were giant trees, ancient temples, little secrets to discover and explore while getting blasted by EDM - it was a magical place to be. However - it did not make it obvious where you could go to get food or drinks. So I did what any reasonable person would do - I scoped out a couple who didn’t look too busy who also had drinks in their hands and asked for directions.

The couple managed to be very polite while *also* managing to impart zero information to me. I remember the woman looking at me like I was stupid for not immediately knowing where to get drinks. Fair enough - they owe me nothing, and they were *polite* while treating me like an idiot.

I managed to find the beer tent - they were literally right behind the couple. I got my wife the collectible cups they were selling, mission accomplished.

While I was giving my wife her drink, my crutch placed precariously under my arm, the *very same couple* walks *between* me and @swarmingbats and somehow managed to *kick* my crutch to the ground. It was obviously an accident. One of the couple turned around, horrified at what she’d done.

“Oh, I didn’t realize you were a *cripple*”

Platitudes were exchanged, an easing of tension - but it was on my wife to actually pick my crutch from the ground.

I am a big fan of politeness, but if it gives someone the excuse to avoid being *helpful* in any way, I know which of these two interactions I’d choose, every day.

Some of y’all occasionally need to remember that a lot of your favs are people, who fuck up, and do stupid shit sometimes! And that’s okay! Call them out on it! If you don’t like their response then don’t support them anymore! No need to send them dms saying to kill themselves!! I cannot think of a situation that could warrant that!!! What the fuck!!

[nero-neptune]

i know i'm over a decade late to this realization but– ptv's "props and mayhem" was about the john boyega classic "attack the block" the Whole Time??? of "this is MY BLOCK, GET ME" fame??? it's named after those kids in the movie called "probs" and "mayhem"???!! get that snitch / get the strap / don't give a fuck / BRAP BRAP BRAP????!!!! (i'm crying real hysterical tears over this btw)

[ptvreference]

okay yall sorry for confusion but this isnt an actual reference account, i am not being forreal like i dont think people copied pierce the veil when they said "collide with x" its just a joke and funsies!!!! dont take me seriously this has been a psa

BONES IS GOING ON TOUR AND I NEED TO FUCKING SEE HIMMMMMMM

[fortunately-bi]

I got to see Sleep Token live last night and it was a religious experience I fucking loved it

[rivangel]

idk if you listen to fall out boy but like i was listening to their latest song its called love from the other side and all i could think is levi levi this is levi idk if it fits him or if i just think abt levi too much lol

LMAO i was like the stereotype of an emo kid and i never rly fell out of that phase fjwjdkkwkd i love fall out boy but i lost interest in their music after i think mania? bc they’d gone too pop for me. SO I HADNT LISTENED TO THIS BUT DAMN. at first i was like “??? this is some high fantasy music huh” BUT THEN THE GUITARS AND DRUMS CAME IN…

i can definitely see this as a levi song. “what would you trade the pain for? i’m not sure.” “sending my love from the other side of the apocalypse. and i just about snapped, don’t look back.”

“the kind of pain you feel to get good in the end”

“give up what you love before it does you in”

nffnwjfjwj going in the relationship-with-levi playlist right tf now. so dw about thinking abt him too much djfjsjdjgj. i do have a playlist after all. and a kinning playlist..
