28 Food Replacements for The Sims 2

Some days ago @extyara sent me some food clone packages and I was able to make food replacements even for the food I don't have in my game (I don't have all the EP).

DOWNLOAD HERE

This is the list: Baked Alaska -> Spiced Carrot Cake Berry Pie -> Momo Orange Pie Char Broiled Catfish -> Fried Catfish Cheesecake -> Tres Leche Chicken Pot Pie -> Zucchini Pie Chirashi -> Rice Aubergine Crepes Suzette -> Strawberry Crepes Cup of Ramen -> Spicy Ramen Filet Mignon -> Filet Mignon Flapjacks -> Oatmeal Blueberry Pancakes Fried Chicken -> Chicken Fried Steak With Eggs Gelatin -> Koi Pond Mousse Cake Gyro -> Chicken Nuggets Toast Fries Hamburgers -> Burgers With Beef Holiday Roast -> Cranberry Roast Beef Layer Cake -> Advent Chocolate Cake Lime Seared Prawns -> Tempura Shrimp Udon Lobster -> Crab Rangoon Luau Ribs -> Lamb Steak Lunch Sandwich -> Tuna Melt Sandwiches Nectarine Tartlette -> Fruits Tartlets Pancakes -> Kitty Pancakes Pineapple Surprise -> Pineapple Fried Rice Ramen -> Miso Ramen Spaghetti -> Spaghetti Vongole Steamed Rice -> Sweet Mango Sticky Rice Teriyaki Mahi Mahi -> Grilled Mahi Mahi Mango Salsa TV Dinner -> Dino Nuggets

Here is my own edit of Lindasims solarium, sims will lie down inside and after some time emerge with a tan and it lights up. Don't send them back in if they already have a tan! It will start a fire!

I edited the mesh down from 14k polys to just over 7k so it's not as smooth as Linda's but I wasn't bothered by that, I also remapped it so it now has one main 1024x1024 texture instead of 4(!) so texture quality has also been lost but again, I wasn't bothered by that. The two aqua trim retextures are my own, I wanted to make a gaudy gold one too but haven't gotten around to it yet.

I also added a small amount of fitness enthusiasm gain after getting a tan, but it's much lower than exercise equipment because, well, you're lying down :p but maybe your bodybuilders/health nuts will appreciate it :)

Costs 3000 simoleons and is found in plumbing/misc and electronics/misc, all compressorized.

I'm gonna say it requires BV for the tan overlay and FT for the enthusiasm but Linda didn't really go into requirements...

Credits: Lindasims and I'm gonna credit Numenor because I suspect she cloned his original tanning bed or at least used his lighting for this.

Potions A Plenty - Potion Brewing Set

Pulling from most every other set of Sun&Moon for potion ingredients, this set gives the sims the ability to brew various potions that affect moods, skills, life states, aging, pregnancy, health, and a variety of other mostly harmless effects.

The Quick Feature Review/Set Breakdown below the cut.

Download - SFS

View Use/Instruction Manual

The Potion Crafting Bench - The heart of the set itself, the potion bench is where components are stored, prepared, and combined into batches of potions. At this station, sims can do the following.

Practice potion making and brew a total of 56 potions that have varying effects when drank by sims

Earn Logic Skill and Science Enthusiasm

Stock materials

Order Supply Bundles to facilitate quicker potion making

Obtain a Writ of Mastery in potion crafting

Keep a tidy workstation by keeping things clean

A set of “basic” potions, and their ingredients will be considered REQUIRED for function. Do not remove those files. Let the manual guide you.

Access to these is dictated by logic skill level as well as a writ of mastery/Creature Life State/Traits.

This station has 28 decorative slots, as well as a decorative mode to enable/disable effects and an "in use" look at will.

Story Mode Enabled - Skip all the ingredients and steps, just enjoy the end products, or just run the animations on a station for the ease of taking pictures.

*New Feature* - Station Cleanliness. As the station is used, it will obtain dirty points. This dirty level affects the outcomes of potion crafting and increases failure chances. Make sure to keep the cauldron clean to ensure quality products!

*New Feature* - Supply Ordering. For a flat rate, sims can buy a bulk order of various materials needed for any potion. They will be added directly to the station's crafting counts.

All potions can be found in Hobbies/Logic. Complete Danish and Portuguese translations. If you'd like to translate into your native language, please share your strings with us and we'll update the set proper!

Inventory Tools & New Items

Botanical Book - Pretty and useful. Inventory Tool.

Writ of Mastery - Apothecary Version. Inventory Tool.

Crate of Jars - 6 glass jars needed for potion making.

Cauldron Dregs - Waste produced from cleaning the station or failing in potion making.

Bonus Items

Reference Tome - In game recipe book for all potions

Counter Split OMSP - Give maxis counters a chance to hold more things!

Display Shelves - 9 decorative slots, two versions.

Apothecary Todd Cart and Pavilion - Previously released sets bundled into this set; they have been optimized and renamed, please remove the old versions.

Potion Specifics

Potions come in 5 types: Basic, Folk Remedy Potions, Arcane Potions, Creature/Lifestate Potions, and Poison Potions. The more fantastical the potion, the more complex it is to make.

Please be aware that depending on your playstyle you will have to add more files from other sources or you can delete certain files from this set without worry; For example, if you do not play your game with creature life states or custom creature life states, you may delete anything related to those potions, provided it is not used in another “basic” potion.

Potions are NOT recolorable and will not be made so in the future. If you wish to alter the bottle/potion colors yourself, this may be done in the properties/categorized properties tab of each subset txmt in SimPe, using the stdMatDiffCoef line.

Potions Vs. Teas: You will notice that many potions have the same effects as previously released teas from the Quali-Tea set. So what’s the difference? 

Teas are based on cooking and logic skills only. Potions function more on Logic skill level and a Writ of Mastery, OR Witch/Warlock state, and other traits.

Teas are single cup per crafting interactions (except basic hunger teas). Potions will always produce in a batch of 6.

In some cases, Teas require MORE ingredients to make, whereas Potions require LESS ingredients but higher Logic skill and rarer/less natural ingredients.

While potions can have the same effect as a similar tea, more risk is involved with taking them and sims can experience adverse/opposite of intended effects.

Glowy Dew's Skincare Functional for The Sims 2

I finally found out how to do an overlay box and managed to make this object. The original item is from the 4to2 Bathroom Kit by LordCrumps (I changed the guid so you can have both deco and functional version in your game, all recolors included), while masks and eye patches are from IcedMango and jsasimmer.

With this object your teen to elder, male and female, sims can apply 5 different kind of Face Masks and 2 Eye Patches. When they apply them, they perform the animation of the Zit Cream and the Comfort will increase. When they wash out the masks, the Hygiene motive will increase.

The object can be found in Plumbings-Miscellaneous section of Buy Mode. It costs 40 simoleon and every applied mask costs 20 simoleon.

Breaking my ‘quitting tumblr’ momentarily to say PLEASE stop being dumb fucks and accusing people of spreading misinformation about The Sims 1 and 2 re-release having the Denuvo DRM when they have corrected themselves via reblogs, edits and replies - because this community loves jumping on players of colour any chance they get to accuse them of wrongdoing where there is none. If I know Simblr I know it takes a white person to say anything for anyone to give a shit, so listen up and read carefully! 📖

The posts about the Sims 1 and 2 re release having the Denuvo DRM on them were mostly written BEFORE it was proven to be false. They are likely NOT spreading ‘misinformation!!!111’ intentionally. Many have self-corrected. Take your heads out of your asses and take a moment to consider things before accusing people. I know this is Tumblr and you’re incapable of doing that as well as checking all the available information before making an accusation, but give it a try. Do it for me 🥺😘 If you don’t want to look like a dumbass then CHECK THE COMMENTS, CHECK REPLIES AND CHECK THE ORIGINAL POST to see if amendments and corrections are made before going all 🤓 on people and making accusations of ‘spreading misinformation’ when many people have corrected themselves in reblogs, replies, and edits.

Act on the idea that people are not spreading this intentionally because the likelihood is they are not. For once in your fucking lives THINK I BEG YOU before jumping down the throats of Black and Arab players. Like I know it feels good to be self-righteous on the Internet but you really do look stupid when you don’t check for corrections before saying people are spreading old news intentionally.

‘I know EA has a broken track record / it’ll be broken / well I hate EA but I’m still buying’ …It’s not the 2000s anymore, sorry millennials, our childhoods spent with these games are well and truly over - but don’t buy these games, do some searching and find them that way.

[4t2] Alertz Burglar Alarm

Hi there y'all! Since the last update for The Sims 4, burglars are back (10 years later-), and with them, a nice burglar alarm. This item got my attention and I wanted to port it to The Sims 2, but I don't had the game installed because ~Hard Drive Space issues~. However, I found the model out there, so I decided to port it finally!

I've found a few problems with it at the time to port to The Sims 2. For example, originally the led screen was attached to the green/red led, with no editions at all, which made the entire alarm to look green! Then, my second option was to simply edit the mesh and add it over the base alarm, so yeah, behind the led screen theres the actual turned off alarm, very clever! So I believe that if you didnt paid your bills and they cut the lights, I think the turned off screen wil be shown instead (didn't tested).

(The video is an old version with no glow)

It will switch between blue and orange (depending if a burglar activated it or not), however, sound effect couldn't be replaced with the TS4 version. If the cops arrives in time, the alarm will be deactivated and switch back to blue.

In order to make it functional, you'll need to download the Custom Burglar Alarms by MidgetheTree, otherwise, it's just a nice paperweight with no use :)

Alertz Burglar Alarm Information:

Description:

A state-of-the-art Burglar detector that can be upgraded with all the fanciest features. Helps you sleep safe and sound, unless a Burglar is spotted. Also effectively wakes the whole family up, as it should. Very, very loudly. Buy one for any door the Burglar could enter from!

Mesh and textures were converted by me.

Update to Crystal Ball Dating

Original post can be found here.

~What's new~ Original crystal ball creation was not updated for Apartment Life, and as such the ignore townie option did not block social group townies from appearing. Fortunately, thanks to the teleport edits I've done, fixing that was easy enough that even my winter-fog-riddled-brain could handle it. If you want to actually block all townie-types when selecting ignore townie, please re-download the latest version. For more info on versions, please see original post. Download standard mod Download version compatible with Midge's more computer options

Monique computer edits do not need replacing, only the global mod part is updated. ~Changelog for this mod~ Ver 3. Now covers social groups for townies Ver 2. Added broken tests to prevent option from showing on a broken computer Thank you @kashmiresims for bringing this to my attention so I could fix it. I will not be updating the crystal ball itself, because it's not mine and the whole idea of this mod is that you no longer need it :)

This is @midgethetree's awesome functional yoga mat, with a few tweaks to make it friendlier for use on an OFB business lot. It's more attractive now, and Sims of any body skill level can use it, not just 3+ points.

This would absolutely not have come together without the helpful guidance of @gummilutt, @hugelunatic, and @heathensimmer helping me and suggesting what to try since I am very much not a modder! But once again, desperately stubborn when it comes to making things work in my own game.

This is just an edit of the mesh, replace Midge's version with mine, but get the recolours from her original post.

Enjoy :)

Maxis Match TS2 CD Sales Rack

Hello, happy 2023!

Today I have a non-3t2 gift: a Maxis-match CD store set for your neighborhood music shop. I have three objects for you: a standing CD floor rack, a hanging wall rack, and a section nameplate. Plus recolors!

I was feeling nostalgic for the mid-aughts when CDs ruled the world, and in particular I was remembering the music section of the deceased Borders bookstore chain (RIP) when I made this set.

The display cases are repo'd to the Zecutine commercial counter (you must have H&M for this to work in your game) so they will pick up any recolors you might already have. The wall shelf and the border around the section sign are also repo'd to the H&M counter.

For the CD textures, the standing floor rack is the parent and the hanging rack is the child. I've made you six different CD shelf types:

Classical

2. Jazz

3. World music (this was such a staple in every CD store, and there was always a collection of Paris cafe music?)

4. Punk/rock (lots of parental advisory stickers in this section! You can't see it in the final product, but I did make them Simlish...)

5. Pop music #1

6. Pop music #2

There are five sign recolors included. They say (in Simlish): Classical, Jazz/Blues, New Releases, Pop/Rock, and World.

All three objects will be in Electronics > Audio for §350.

Download

And as a bonus, I've got the PSD file if you want to make your own CD covers! All you need are many small square images and you're set to go. It's a grid so it's pretty easy to customize yourself.

Download PSD file

I can claim no credit for any of the images used. I pulled these from a variety of TS2, TS3, and TS4 creators as well as some EA creations. If you're interested to know where a specific image came from, message me and I'll direct you to the original!
