MODDERS WANTED!

Maxis lost and found: Sims 2 werewolf faces?

Nope, I didn't use any custom face templates or sliders to make this render. This werewolf face IS in the game! Once again, nothing to download here, at least not for now. Hopefully we can make this an actual thing. All the details and research under the cut 🐺

So I was digging through the Pets EP files the other day for a project I had in mind when I found these meshes:

The "Arch" in the name caught my attention, because that's how the CAS face templates are named as well, so when I loaded the preview I found these really cool werewolf faces!

That got me thinking… this was probably intended for the werewolf transformations, right? Looks like the devs scrapped this idea on the final Pets release. @/hypersaline already restored the werewolf fangs, and I was wondering if it would be possible to restore these faces too.

Are "temporary face sliders" overlays even a thing in this game? The closest interaction I can think of is the Plastic Surgery station and its preset faces for the failed surgeries, but those just create a new face in the genetic data of the Sim, which is permanent unless the player gives them another plastic surgery session. The ideal thing would be morphing the face with these "sliders" when they transform into werewolves, and then remove them once they go back to their human shape.

Anyway, I figured I could extract the meshes and see if I could preview the faces in Blender just to showcase them. The files are pretty broken, they don't even have a UV map and the vertex order is all over the place. So after some tedious vertex snapping shenaningans I kinda remade them in Blender. Here's how they all look, compared to the base second face template in the game:

Adult Female Face (afArchLycan):

Adult Male Face (amArchLycan):

Teen Female Face (tfArchLycan):

Teen Male Face (tmArchLycan):

No elder faces as far as I know, and obviously children werewolves aren't a thing in the vanilla game.

The modding skills needed to restore something like this (if it's even possible) are way out of my scope. So yeah, if any modder knows a trick or two about how to implement this face transformation back in the game and feels brave enough to give this a try, please count me in! My DMs are open. I'll be more than happy to help with anything I'm able to on the meshing department 🙇‍♂️

Until then, at least here's a showcase archived of what could have been for Sims 2 werewolves 🌝

More immersive pet treats - Giving treats now requires Sims to go out and buy them!

My anniversary celebration gifts so far have given us players a treat, the sims a treat, and as a player that also enjoys having pets, I thought it might be nice to finish off by giving the pets a treat! :) I enjoy making my game more immersive, and giving my Sims reasons to go out and buy things in OFB businesses as well as more chores/responsibilities. Now if your Sims want to reward their adorable furbabies, they best get on down to the pet store and buy some delicious delectable pet goodies!

The original object used was by RetailSims, who kindly agreed to let me use her objects for my pet global mods. I have improved upon the mesh to include cat treats, remapped it a little and made it easier to recolor. I am not that great at photo-editing but thankfully the kind and generous @kashmiresims agreed to create some fresh new recolors for it, providing textures for cat/dog, big dogs, small dogs and cats :)

How the mod works 1. Mod impacts current family only, because maybe your visitors brought treats with them. I do that sometimes :P 2. Only impacts residential and apartment lots, so that if you encounter strays on community lots, or took a pet on vacation, you don't have to worry about it (unless it is an owned vacation home). 3. For active family to feed treats to pets on residential or apartment lots, they must have a treat bucket object present on the lot, with treats left. Every time you feed a pet a treat, the bucket capacity goes down. When it runs out, you have to buy a new one. 4. Default setting on bucket is 20 treats. It is controlled in BCON 1003 on the object, so if you want a different number you can easily change it :) The bucket is quite large, so 20 seems a little ridiculous, but I wanted your Sims to actually need to buy one every so often and 20 seemed a good compromise. A smaller version of the bucket will be coming eventually.

Conflicts: None that I know of. The bucket is a new object, separate from the original so you can have both.

Credits: HChangeri at RetailSims for the original bucket object, @kashmiresims for the lovely new recolors and generally motivating me to get things done! :) @gayars, @morepopcorn, @klaartjesimblr and @crispsandkerosene who kindly helped answer various meshing questions when I got stuck during the making of the new version of the bucket. Gayars who made the very cute heart ballons, that you can get here! DeeDee for the party hat accessory that I made an object and OMSP wrangled into a pet hat :3

This was part 3 of my Anniversary Gifts, find the rest here!

I recently created a pet for a family in game, and I loved how it turned out so I registered the breed and thought I'd share it!

I wanted it to look like a sheepadoodle (as much as possible within Sims 2 constraints) and when I was looking for references I came across this adorable dog Bayley, so this is mostly based off her.

Required Files: You'll need these custom dog furs installed (the natural shades) AND the nose & toe beans markings for this breed to display correctly. Once you have those files installed, and then you download this breed, it will show up as a preset breed in the Create a Pet menu.

Hope you enjoy!

So... I played and took loads of screenshots... then had to restore a backup from before I played and took the screenshots, because all the pets I'd made after taking the backup had come out with split character files. All of them. Not the sims, just the pets.

This means two things: one, back to the backup so it will take longer for me to get the first Kulo Sena update out.

Also, I need to ask: has anyone ever experienced this, and if so, how (if at all) did you resolve it?

I seem to have fixed my game from pink flashing and crashing, after so long! I can finally play :')

Pets (set 1) Painting Recolors

The artwork came from Artimoment. The mesh is from FreeTime, the internal name is SophisitcatedMetro. All files are clearly labeled and marked, but NOT compressed. There is also a matching set - Pets (set 2) - with 5 recolors of AL's Tech painting, uploaded separately.

Won't you take one home with you? 😺

Family room

Middle section

Eat-in kitchen

WIP

With children slowly moving out to go to university and they themselves slowly moving up the career path, Charles and Kadija have more time to spend at home.

While the kids were still at home, the middle section of their open plan main floor was filled with desks. But the kitchen and the living room part, they had started working on almost right at the beginning.

They are aware, that this floor still need quite a bit of decorativ work, but so far, they are quite happy with the way it's developing. The strong colours reflect very nicely Kadija's origins.

And with their home getting quieter, Charles had the wish, to get a pet, which I granted. So, they got Fussel, a female cat, from the animal shelter (I'm slowly moving all stray pets there).

Is it possible to make custom wolfs with the NPC maker? I mean, regular wolfs are kind of the same thing as strays but they still have a special SDSC number in SimPE ... and the pack leader is an actual NPC. So, does it work? Could I theoretically create a fucked-up looking poodle and put him as my hood's pack leader, so he gets all glowy-eyed? Bc that would be life-changing for me.

Does anyone know anything about the mobile version of ts2 pets? I discovered about its existence because it was mentioned on the cover of a ts2 demo disc that I bought, but this is the only trace of it existing that I've found:

I'm wondering if there's any kind of gameplay of it out there

Another pet breed to share today! I wanted an excuse to use @kitteninthewindow's hairless cat coat, so here we are!

Several coat colour and marking prerequisites here - this breed will NOT display correctly without the coat colours and markings being installed already. Highly recommend the custom coat colours and markings for pets by @/kitteninthewindow and @deedee-sims generally for a lot more variety in pet options!

Required Files/Sets: 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 (only natural coat colours required)

Recommended: Eyes (not required but this breed is packaged with one of the custom eye recolours I did for the pet default eyes I use. Otherwise you can just change their eyes to whatever you use.)

Enjoy! :)
