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.

Open Buffet Tables Functional for The Sims 2

This is a 4to2 conversion from Somik&Severinka, low poly when empty and high poly when they are full (12k each). These 6 tables works like the buffet table in game but they have 10 different food on them. Expect for the Master file, they are all slaved each other so you need to have everything in your download folder for them to work properly.

🧩 The Sims 2: FreeTime Hobbies Mind Map – A Look at a Deeper Hobby System

Because of the announcement of the Business and Hobbies expansion pack for The Sims 4 and because people are writing that few hobbies were provided there, I wanted to share the mind map for The Sims 2: FreeTime expansion pack that was created by The Sims 2 developers during development of this expansion pack and shared by Lindsay Pearson (SimsGuruPearson) on September 23, 2015, on X/Twitter.

This mind map illustrates the hobby system introduced in The Sims 2: FreeTime. It shows how different gameplay mechanics related to hobbies are interconnected.

Main Elements of the Mind Map:

1. Hobbies – The Central Node

All mechanics related to hobbies branch out from this core concept.

2. Heavy Hobbies

These involve more active pursuits, including:

Sports (basketball hoop, soccer net, football toss)

Games (board games, PC games, RC cars/helicopters)

Science (telescope additions, ant farm, stargazing enhancements)

Music (violin, modular synth)

Fitness (exercise bike, jogging, protein shakes)

Arts & Crafts (pottery wheel, sewing machine)

Engineering/Tinkering (train kit, repairable car, tinker interaction)

3. Light Hobbies

These involve less physically intense activities:

Nature (bug collecting, bird watching, hiking)

Literature (writing novels, reading unique books)

Food (judging contests, food platters, nectar bar)

Entertainment (TV additions, merchandise)

4. Hobby System (Tracking)

The mechanics that govern hobbies, including:

Hobby Factors (various influences on hobby progress)

Instruct Interaction (mentoring between Sims)

Hobby Chance Cards (random events related to hobbies)

Share Hobby Tips (Sims discussing their hobbies)

Hobby Secret Lots (exclusive locations for Sims with high enthusiasm)

Iconic Hobbyists (notable Sims tied to certain hobbies)

"The Zone" (a gameplay effect for mastery in hobbies)

5. Lifetime Fulfillment

How hobbies connect to Sims’ long-term aspirations, friendships, and parenting mechanics.

6. Preoccupation (Hobby Obsession)

Additional interactions related to hobbies:

Sims talking about hobbies

Newspaper sections dedicated to hobbies

Sims dreaming about hobbies

Hobby-related idle animations

A computer patch for blogging and surfing about hobbies

7. New Careers

Careers linked to hobbies with objects like the drafting table, ballet bar, koi pond, surveillance mic, and fame star rug.

This mind map visually explains how FreeTime expands the game by integrating hobbies into careers, social interactions, and long-term aspirations, making Sims' lives feel more dynamic and immersive.

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.

New day, new project!

So what's this?

With recent re-release of The Sims 1 and The Sims 2, I decided to fix my UC install (yay!) and return to an old project! It's been a couple of years but I learned how to edit sims 2 lighting, and thus I decided to get Radiance lighting closer to what I've always been expecting of it.

So what's new in this?

For now, only night has been significantly changed, but I plan to apply this to all the weathers and times of day, as well as make the time of day switch just a bit smoother.

Keep reading for some more details:

Lights are a bit more intense, and the highlights are more visible, while shadows are darker (but still affected by the room color). Blue ambience minimized.

Outdoor lights get the same treatment (and yes, that is a base game light, they all have different shapes)!

More precise and dramatic window light spillage indoors (Now also affecting objects)!

Same applies to the outdoor objects (The spillage is softer but still visible)!

For now, this is what I've done, but for example, day is too bright, and there's still way too many shadows during overcast. There's not a lot to be done (day, morning, evening, overcast, winter, spring and autumn all have their own modes, besides the night, which I just finished) and it's easy to edit and test this (just keep reloading the lot), so I think it will most likely take just a couple of days to finish it.

Will keep you posted on this one.

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!

3 Toddler Beds Functional for The Sims 2

These are 4to2 conversions from Wondymoon, Chicklet and Soloriya, low poly. They are cloned from Themediocresulk Toddler Beds as Pet Beds and work in the same way. The beddings are slaved to the original game ones so they will take all the recolors too. Found in the bed section of Buy Mode.
