The School Project Project

I couldn't stop myself from giving this mod such an awful title. xD

This mod gives children and teenagers a chance of bringing home school project instead of standard written homework.

There are in total 6 school projects converted from TS4 Parenthood: bridge, castle, electricity, rocket, solar system and volcano.

Kids have a chance of bringing the following three projects: castle, solar system and volcano. Teens have a chance of bringing the following three projects: bridge, electricity and rocket.

Chance of bringing a school project is by default 20%, but it can be tuned in BCON "Tuning - School Project" of group 0x7FBE051B and instance 0x0000200A.

School projects take longer to finish (by about 1/4 longer), but are more rewarding, letting your Sims gain some skills, hobby enthusiasm and even badges, making school actually useful. 😉

Bridge makes your Sims gain mechanical skill and tinkering enthusiasm.

Castle makes your Sims gain creativity skill and arts enthusiasm.

Electricity makes your Sims gain mechanical skill, robotery badge and tinkering entusiasm.

Rocket makes your Sims gain logic skill, toy making badge and science enthusiasm.

Solar system makes your Sims gain mechanical skill and science enthusiasm.

Volcano makes your Sims gain logic skill and nature enthusiasm.

Skill, badge and enthusiasm gain isn't that great, but it's there.

You won't see the skill meter above your Sim's head, because apparently there can be only one meter at a time.

Sims have a chance of making school project of one of three qualities: poor, good and excellent.

The outcome depends on skill and badge corresponding the project, getting help with school project (but it only counts if it happens during quality check) and traits:

clumsy Sims will always get penalty,

technophobes wil get penalty when working on electricity and rocket,

'can't stand art' Sims will get penalty when working on castle,

geniuses and perfectionists will always get bonus,

handy Sims will get bonus when working on electricity and rocket,

artistic and avant garde Sims will get bonus when working on castle.

Bonuses do not stack. Penalties also don't. So if your Sim is genius and perfectionist, they will get only one bonus. Bonus and penalty can cancel each other out.

When making castle, your SIms will hold a crayon instead of a pencil. While working on the electricity project Sims will hold a screwdriver. In case of other projects Sims will still use pencil, because I haven't decided what else would fit. 😅

If you use smonaff’s Fall Asleep While Doing Homework, Sims who have fallen asleep can't make a project of excellent quality - it will be good at best.

Additionally, if you have @earlypleasantview's conversions of TS4 School Projects in your downloads, upon completion of a project a project will be placed in your Sim's inventory. The only exception is the castle as various qualities are recolors of the object, so you will have to manually set the recolor you want it to be.

This mod is not compatible with Cyjon's Harder Homework. There's no compatibility plug-in as of now. Maybe I'll make one later, but right now I'm dead inside after converting 40 meshes. 😫

Known bugs

When project's model changes Sims arms are bent under weird angle for a moment.

Thanks to @lordcrumps for supplying me with meshes and textures for school projects from TS4 Parenthood!

Pelican Town Hood - Download

UPDATE: There is now a cc-free version available for download!

UPDATE: Version 1.2 is out and contains some minor fixes like adding missing storytelling images and fixing surnames.

It's finally here! This is a recreation of Pelican Town from Stardew Valley as a custom Sims 2 neighborhood. It contains:

17 playable lots/families

7 bin families

14 community lots

5 custom townies (+ Leo in the adoption pool)

6 stray animals inspired by the cats and dogs you can choose in SDV

All buildings and Sims are supposed to resemble their SDV counterparts as much as possible. I am definitely more comfortable with building than with CAS, so feel free to give the Sims makeovers ^^ All sims have custom memories, relationships, skills, bios, family photos etc.

All EPs and SPs are required! Keep in mind that this is by no means a CC-free hood. I have included all of the CC with the download, see the attached README for more information. I might make a CC-free version one day if anyone's interested, but that's a pretty big might! I am using default replacements in the screenshots, these are not included in the download.

DOWNLOAD ver 1.2 (SFS)

DOWNLOAD - CC Free ver 1.2 (SFS)

If you decide to play the hood, be sure to let me know about any problems or feedback you might have. I am super excited to see what you all do with it. This is the first time I created and shared a custom neighborhood for TS2, so I hope everything is working properly.

Full disclosure, I experienced some pink soup issues during playtesting :( They were usually resolved by exiting and re-entering the lot. I don't know if it is caused by my system or this particular neighborhood, maybe it's the amount of trees? Anyway, let me know if you encounter any similar issues.

Thanks y'all for showing interest in this project and encouraging me to finish the hood! I started this back in March 2022 and was done building a long time ago, but setting up all the SimPE stuff took much longer than expected. I had loads of fun though!

Since tumblr will not let me put enough images into one post, I'm going to make seperate posts with more info about the lots and families. Or you can check out the download and see for yourself :) Happy Simming!

Genetically Correct Premades - Info & Masterlist

This all started cause of this post I saw on ModTheSims (here) of what looks like an early beta version of Mary-Sue. The 3rd picture has Mary-Sue looking just like the twin girls that we know today. The original plan I had was just to replace Mary-Sue’s face with one that matched closely as possible to the picture and then get a genetically correct Pleasant family but then seeing Daniel’s darker skintone made me think about extracting all the parents and having them have kids and find out if we get the same look-a-like premades and then the idea spread to the point I decided to redo the whole Sims 2 Neighbourhoods and finally get a genetically correct premades.

I used @meetmetotheriver clean neighbourhoods to extract the dead parents. The reason for this is that some of the dead sims from the original games were missing DNA or had corrupted faces. So huge thank you to @meetmetotheriver for fixing all those that had these issues and making my idea possible!

Another thing to note is that some of the family might look even more different to their canon looks. Not only cause I’m sure @meetmetotheriver had to replace some of the dead parents with look-a-likes, cause of the issues I mentioned, but I mainly did this for myself since I used my personal taste while remaking the premades (Mary-Sue for example). I made sure to point out which ones have been changed and you can decide if you want them or not.

Also, the sims come as sim package files. Was gonna share them through meetmetotheriver & Dreadpriate clean neighbourhoods but in the end, decided that maybe you would like to pick and choose which sim you wanted to replace in your neighbourhood of choice or make further edits that fit your taste.

UPDATE: Added a subhood option below.

Last note, I used this mod so the genetic results might be different from EAxis one.

Link to each neighbourhood’s page and download below!

- Pleasentview Families

- Strangetown Families

- Veronaville Families

- Downtown (Tricou family + Downtown Teens)

- Bluewater Village Families

- Riverblossom Hills Families

- Desiderata Valley Families

- Belladonna Cove Families

- Family Bin: Kim, Ottomas, Traveller & Gavigan family

Not genetically correct anymore but if anyone want some edits that I did, go here.

If you use MAC and want a mac friendly version, you can find it here.

Subhood download option now added.

Note: I got a request to add my Genetically Correct Premades to makeover subhoods, if possible. So I decided it would be fairer to use the ones that were CC-free, didn’t share their own GCP version in the hood (felt it would be rude to just replace theirs with mine, even if I asked) and didn’t make massive changes from what the original had.

Note2: When you first load up the family, some of the sim’s portrait UI won’t match their new look at first. Just give them a quick appearance change and it will update itself. This is due to SimPE editing.

Note3: Unfortunately, any sim that isn’t in a lot or sim bin will have their name randomized.

Note4: Was gonna manually add the downtown premades + teen townies (that are linked to the family) to Katatty’s makeover version, but I’ve forgotten what mods I needed to avoid the hood getting extra sims made so I went with a safer option which just added them alive instead.

[taliasimss]

Keeping Up with the Joneses is a rotational let's play series that follows the lives of four Sims in their mid-twenties. Although named after the Jones twins, the title is coined from the popular idiom in which one compares themself to others, from their financial status & careers to their material goods. Coming soon to my YouTube channel this September.

More information about the series below.

Cameron & Chasity Jones in Del Sol Valley The newlyweds moved to The Valley with their dog, Ruby, to further advance in their careers as a music producer & a model/fashion journalist. The two have recently gained fame on the internet from their respective careers, but is their newfound celebrity lifestyle too much for this couple to handle?

Camille Jones in San Sequoia After years of searching on the market, Camille has finally found the perfect home in San Sequioa. A new city not only means a fresh start for Camille as a freelance painter, but also a new social circle & new love interests for her to explore. However, her old habits & past flames followed her to San Sequoia as well...

Matthew Whitmore in Brindleton Bay Matthew moved back to Brindleton Bay after securing a tech consultant position at Rainy Day Entertainment. He returned to The Bay to not only be closer to his family, but to also start a family of his own with his girlfriend, Jordyn, who is expecting their first child. As he prepares for fatherhood, Matthew must learn to balance his career with the responsibilities of raising a child.
