'Ello, Everybody!

It's Dr. Fan! I keep popping up and disappearing. Life, ya know.

I just want to let everyone know that I am checking new follows for being spammy adult non-sims content. I look at username, profile pic, and then check out the tumblr if I'm not sure. If you have non-sims content, don't worry, as long as it's an established tumblr, I'm not going to remove. If I do screw up and remove you, please let me know if you'd like to refollow, because it's probably an mistake on my end.

so all this time ive been rocking the 2019 version of simpe but i just checked out the new version updated december 2024 and bruh??? These terrain editing tools????

the hours ive toiled away hex editing road tiles, fighting with sc4 and the modifyNeighborhoodTerrain cheat... this is going to be such a game changer...

i also noticed this, not sure what it does exactly but intriguing for stories games enjoyers 👀

this version does come bundled with some external tools plastered with chris hatch's signature titty pinup ladies but simpe itself is titty-free now as far as i can tell lmao

EDIT: apparently it's not quite as titty-free as i thought dfkdjgkgk, the source code is full of horny nonsense although most of it doesn't seem to apply without chris hatch's other stuff installed. but there is some unnecessarily sexualized language in the new sim profile feature and some other places, it's pretty easy to ignore but maybe someone can figure out how to edit those strings...

yess thank you!! but theres also the glass roof in the 2nd photo sorry i wasnt clear haha

Oh, sorry... It's not really a roof. It is a fence and columns from this set (TSR) and some transparent floor tiles like these ones.

I rarely give my sims a pool and I almost never think about pool related downloads. While working on something else where I need to have a pool in the background, I decided it was time for some pool stuffs. I found some meshes by Simcredible and SimzH and did a bit of editing and recoloring to tweak things to my liking.

The Simcredible items are the two-toned beach ball and the double floatie mesh. The ball has been repositoried to the floaties and the floaties now have 2 subsets. There are recolors included that can color one of the floaties invisible so I DID NOT touch the single floatie mesh. (It’s not needed anymore!) Both meshes are in Deco>Misc, are quarter tile enabled, can be seen from neighborhood view and can be placed on water without cheats.

The SimzH items are the other beach ball, the huge floatie (which is a lounge chair) and the chair. The ball and floatie are now repositoried to the chair. I also made a deco version of the floatie so you could prop it against a tree using an angled OMSP like I did. :) There are see-through recolors and some solid recolors. The chair and lounger need to be placed on water with cheats, the beach ball does not. Chair and lounger are in Seating and the beach ball is in General>Misc.

ALL file names have been edited and will not overwrite the originals. You’ll need to remove the originals if you have them! I also redid all the original SimCredible testures to remove the fake shine and ALL meshes are now slightly shiny on their own. :)

P.S. And yes, I added handles to the chair and lounger.

Always a great resource!

CEP-Extras

Just wanted to pop up the list of cep-extras I've been curating for new/returning TS2 players. While I'm not actively playing, and do very little creating, I am trying to keep the list updated as I come across new ones!

[untidyfan]

I'm glad there are some positive experiences!

i caved and bought the legacy collection out of curiosity

i bought it on steam by the way, no way am I going anywhere near the ea app

random thoughts as i go along:

game loaded up straight away with no issues (what a strange feeling)

got into pleasantview within 2 minutes (obvs I have no cc installed right now so its gonna be faster anyway)

a bit of a jumpscare to see the game again without reshade ngl

straight into the lothario household. don you look... different without all my defaults

screen resolution defaulted to the right size without me having to change anything by the way, which was nice

turned up all the graphics setting to max and going to visit the goth household as that always gives me lag, even vanilla

this experience is already making me realise I need to cut down my 12gb downloads folder, cos man this is so smooth and fast without all of that in my game

well everything is working perfectly straight out of the box. had no issues with multiple sims on the big goth lot

going to quit and load up again with my ui mods and defaults next (along with hugelunatic's ikea pack as cc)

legacy collection has an entirely different file path by the way, so won't mess with existing ultimate collection installs (i wouldn't have dared to do this otherwise)

okay all my defaults, ui mods and some others are now in (downloads folder is up to 3.64gb now) and everything is working fine still

ikea items as cc don't seem to be fully appearing in the catalog though? that might be a me problem but i dont know

adding in all my cas cc now, along with hood defaults and hood deco cc (downloads folder is up to 6.5gb now). i'm also adding in anything else I can think of like camera mods, user startup cheat etc etc

getting into pleasantview in less than 2 mins still

heading into cas for the first time now...

... and it loaded up within 10 seconds even with ALL of my cas cc? and this is the first time too so I would've expected major lag. normally cas takes about 60 seconds to load in my game

update on the ikea pack as cc... the build items are definitely there, but not the buy for some reason?

biting the bullet and adding in the remaining 6gb of my 12gb downloads folder

all of my cc is now in the game and loading times were about 30 seconds longer than before. still no issues

took darren dreamer to a community lot and there were no crashes/issues/lag. normally going to a community lot is very dangerous for me cos its where I get the most crashes or issues, its why all my community lots are incredibly small lot sizes

also I have the hood deco view set to extra large... normally I have to have it set to extra small just to play in a small household

i dont think I'm being delulu here to say things are running better

next up is adding in all of my mods, then after that I might dare putting in my mega populated uberhood save, and try reshade?

another ikea update: everything is showing up now. it was me being an idiot

so all of my mods are now also in (so my entire downloads folder now) and i haven't been able to trigger any crashes or pink soup yet through normal gameplay? even with extra large hood view from lots

reshade keeps crashing my game on startup... damn, what am I doing wrong

RESHADE IS NOW WORKING (ver 6.1.1)! thanks to this guide

I finally added in my uberhood save (which is packed with hood deco and and has 35 playable families).... and it's working! I also played with a household for a bit and everything was working fine

final update before I go to bed (as its gone midnight here lol)

i now have all of my mods, cc, saves, and reshade installed, and I've yet to have any pink soup or crashes (apart from the crashes when I was *incorrectly* trying to install reshade). honestly... i'm surprised. i dont want to speak too soon obviously, but things seem better. i was just playing in a household with extra large lot view on and that would usually IMMEDIATELY crash my game, but nothing happened. tomorrow i'll actually play for an extended period of time, so i'll be able to tell more for sure then.

i hope this has been helpful to at least a couple of people, and i'll leave with you a shot of my pleasantview newly loaded up in the legacy collection 😅

Knowledge is power, thanks for posting this!

i need someone to test these out.

imma still 🏴‍☠️ IF/when i feel the need to but I wanna know if the pink soup is ACTUALLY ""fixed"".

idc about the shadow box, we've had a fix for that for YEARS now. I'm def interested in "fixed several crashes" - what does this entail EA?

also "improvements and fixes" ok EA, what ARE those? LET ME FUCKING SEE WHAT YOU DID TO MY GAME.

here is where can find this info on the website!

[untidyfan]

I don't know if I'll buy it without IKEA stuff pack. Though if the GUID limits are eliminated, pink soup is fixed (yes, I became a victim :( ), and maybe if IKEA could still be installed thanks to awesome modders, I will buy it.

IKEA was my favorite stuff pack!

For anyone who is getting the Sims 2 Legacy without IKEA. The old extracted packs I did for Mac users should work. edit: no celebrations either? Link below is all the packs I extracted back when I played on a Mac.
