Fixed Death By Childbirth

Some default replacement requests because I gathered enough to make a proper post!

tmbodyopencoatlongpants_pvtschool replaced with this outfit by Amaryll. I generated some new resources so this outfit could be replaced separately from the other suits.

Using Sims2Pack Clean Installer with The Sims 2: Legacy Collection (and Ultimate too!)

Bringing over a simple (and previously documented) tutorial on how to make Sims2Pack Clean Installer work with Sims 2 Legacy and UC. This is just an adapated version of SimsWiki's UC FAQ, so all credit goes to them. If you want a written step-by-step, please go to their website! STEP 1: Download Sims2Pack Clean Installer

Download (and install) Sims2Pack Clean Installer. This tutorial will be covering the installable version, but the NoInstall one probably works the same. STEP 2: Open the Sims2Pack Clean Installer configuration file

You will now go into the directory where you selected and installed Sims2Pack Clean Installer on. By default, it installs on the C:/ drive, so it is probably located at C:\Program Files (x86)\Sims2Pack Clean Installer. That may vary if you changed the directory.

Open the file called "S2PCI.ini". That is the configuration file that we will be altering. PS: You can use your computer's default Notepad for this, but software like Notepad++ can be easier to manage/edit.

STEP 3: Edit your Sims2Pack Clean Installer configuration to detect Sims 2 Legacy/UC

Where it says SaveGamePath="", you will add the directory where your game's Documents folder is in between the "", just like shown in the photo. - For The Sims 2: Legacy Collection, it is usually C:\Users\YourUserName\Documents\EA Games\The Sims 2 Legacy - For The Sims 2: Ultimate Collection, it is usually C:\Users\YourUserName\Documents\EA Games\The Sims 2™ Ultimate Collection

After that, simply save and replace the file. Depending on your computer settings, it might say it is not able to save. If this happens to you, simply save the edited S2PCI.ini on your desktop, then copy and paste the file inside the Sims2Pack Clean Installer folder and replace the original file (and it should always ask for you to replace the original file! check the tips below for clarification). It might ask for administrator permission, just click yes and proceed until the file is replaced with the one you just edited.

TIP: Not sure what your username is? Simple: on your File Explorer, go to Documents > EA Games > The Sims 2 Legacy (or Ultimate Collection) and click the bar. It will show the full path to the folder. Copy that path and follow the rest of this step. TIP 2: Make sure to save it as a .ini file and NOT a .txt one! If you are having difficulties with that, go to File > Save as on Notepad and select "All Files (*)" as file type. Make sure to also name it exactly as S2PCI.ini (it SHOULD ask you to replace the original file, if it did not, something is wrong. Try following the steps again making sure everything was properly followed!)

STEP 4: Install your Custom Content

The last step is to install your custom content. To make sure that Sims2Pack Clean Installer is working properly with the configuration file you edited, make sure that it shows the path written in the file when you press install. It should point to the game's Documents folder like the image above. Now that you showed the program where your Sims 2 Documents folder is, it should auto-detect where to put the files. Ta-da! Your Sims2Pack Clean Installer is done and working. Enjoy your Custom Content and Sims2Pack installing galore all you want <3

Recolors for Helier set from Mansion & Garden EP. Four basic shades plus glowing recolors

❗ glowing recolors require Extended Standard Material Shader by @crispsandkerosene - without it the texture glow effect will not be visible!

Helier's Curves [M&G] - recolors & add-on

& 'Arc Deco Entranceway Accent' recolors

Download: MEGA | BOX | SFS

Glowing recolors are all repo'ed to basic shades and to additive texture packs (make sure you don't remove those by accident).

*This is for The Sims 2

Enjoy!

I thought I was done recolouring and then I remembered there's that Arc Entranceway canopy thing - I've never used it in my game so I didn't know it had two subsets.. Glowing recolors are only for the edges cuz otherwise it wouldn't make sense - and it doesn't look as good as I'd like it to.

There's also a Helier archway, I didn't feel like recolouring it at this point but might do that in the future.

As I mentioned above, glowing recolors are repoed. "Additive texture pack" packages contain additive maps used for neons so there's no texture redundancy. You can tweak or replace each additive map -(I've included texture resources) the change will affect all neon recolors in the set, that are linked to the edited texture.

If you'd like to replace glowing texture in specific recolor file, you open TXMT settings and edit texture name in stdMatAdditiveTextureName line, plus the same texture name in File List tab. Don't forget to commit changes.

Mod: Return of The Veg Out Interaction

I want to thank @freezerbunny-sims for mentionning that this was a thing in the Base Game. Thank you!

This mod re-enables the Veg Out and some other sofas/loveseats interactions. Even works with CC ones. It’s similar to Squinge’s Veg Out enabled mod, but mine doesn’t remove the personality restriction and also have fixed sub-interactions related to this.

To be able to Veg Out, Sims must be extremely lazy (no more than 1 Active point or 2 if you have @dreadpirate’s Personality Please! mod).

While vegging, Sims can :

Find a snack. It’s a sub-interaction available when clicking on the couch. This will make the selected Sim pull out a bag of cookies and eat. Hunger will slowly go up. Normally, you need a fridge for this interaction to appear, but I removed that restriction since it didn’t work properly.

Nod off. It’s basically the same as the Nap interaction, just with different animations.

Sims won’t autonomously do these interactions since Maxis set them like that and making these autonomous will be a pain to do and won’t be compatible with CC sofas/loveseats.

Knows Issues: These interactions were a mess to edit since they were broken in many places. I did the best I can do, but there are two problems remaining:

Sims’ social motive will go up while vegging out if other Sims are sitting in the same room. I suppose it’s because sitting Sims are supposed to talk together, but the Veg Out interaction doesn’t allow Sims to have a conversation.

In the French version of the game, Maxis made a translation error that I can’t fix for some reason. L'interaction “Find a Snack” devient “Chercher une cacahuète”, ce qui ne fait pas vraiment de sens.
