⚠️ I won't make other versions/offer conflict support for these mods.

Thanks for understanding!

Visitor Controller Edit

An edit of the visitor controller version by @midgethetree.

Requires: the trait_MAIN from 3t2 traits project (as the blocker object uses its mesh). Doesn't require using any of the traits.

A further 3t2 trait edit of my color trait towels mod.

Download (SFS) (alternate)

guess who learned how to convert objects from ts4? this girl!

i’ve felt that gym cc in ts2 has been somewhat lacking, and this set by severinka always taunted me on pinterest lmao. i wanted it in my game but it was like many things on pinterest, ts4cc. and you know like they say: if you want it, learn how to do it. or something like that idk i’m making it up lol. i didn’t do all of the objects, the shelf i still don’t know how to convert correctly as a shelf and not deco (though if you’d like a deco version lmk) same with the hoop. basically, i just did want i wanted/could! big thanks to @crystalvu’s tutorial on the subject, you’re the best mira!

collection file included, files are compressed.

categorized under deco -> sculpture (sorry)

download: [sfs] | [box]

UPDATE 3/23/24: objects now recolorable. red recolors included for barbell and bumper plates from the original set by severinka. barbell is now 2 tile instead of one. redownload and allow all files to override. 

credits: severinka, crystalvu.

i decided to revisit my first 4t2 conversion today and redo the objects now that i’ve learned so much since 2021.

A remedy for plastic-looking TS2 CC recolour

Easy Shine Removal kit for SimPe

Download (SFS) Archive contains instructions

Three xml files are included - 'shine removal' will make stuff completely matte, 'reduced shine' xml can also be used to make matt stuff slightly shiny. And there's also 'Sepia tint' that I use to quickly make bright stuff a bit grungy.

Just open a recolour (or object mesh file), click on TXMT resource, click Properties tab (in TXMT Plugin View) and use Merge button to apply the appropriate settings xml.

This will work for anything that's using StandardMaterial definition: Buymode & Buildmode objects and also some Bodyshop items like glasses / jewellery.

Enjoy!

Sims 2 Tools - Repository Wizard

Repository Wizard

The Repository Wizard is a utility for automating the repository technique for objects and clothing.

Object Mode

This mode of the Repository Wizard automates the process described by HugeLunatic in their Repository Technique tutorial.

Clothing Mode

This mode of the Repository Wizard creates new re-colours for a new/modified mesh based on an existing mesh with its own set of re-colours.

This is NOT the simple approach to the repository method of linking the dependant's TXMT resource(s) to the donor's TXTR resource(s), but a new, more advanced, approach of linking via the 3IDR resource.

See the application’s web page for extensive details about both modes.

If you do not know what the repository technique is, or why you would want to use it, this application is not for you!

Asking Sims 2 simblrs, where can I find some good firearm CCs? Purely decorative, nothing functional. I'm specifically looking for more civilian/hunting firearms as opposed to military/police/tactical ones. Think hunting rifles and shotguns. Also ammo carton boxes (12 gauge shotgun shells, .30-06, .45-70, .308 Winchester, etc...). Thank you so much in advance.

(Pls help my bf)

Recolours: 3t2 Roaring Heights and misc. Jazz Age objects in Cluedo's palette.

Here's a bunch of recolours I made of @veranka's and @crispsandkerosene's conversions of RH objects and Ladysimplayer8 Jazz Age stuff so it would match the Cluedo defaults I have in my game.

What's included?

DOWNLOAD (SFS)

If you would rather have beautiful blue flashing textures (great for nightclubs!) instead of my ugly, sad recolors for the Jazz Age objects, just don't grab the required meshes from here and you'll get 'em.

Most of the file size is due to the swatches, the recolors themselves are pretty small.

All files compressed and clearly named.

I didn't think I would share this when I recolored the stuff, so I renamed the meshes. Check manually for duplicates.

Fiddlin’ Around - Medieval Musical Instruments

So, I really wanted to make some musical instruments and I love Argon’s instrument hack because it works like a dream. However, I had some issues with custom instruments such as AF sims getting stuck when dancing and breaking the object (probably a UC issue). So I updated the TSM lute to work with Pets and fixed this weird issue. You don’t need the UC to use these, though!

I also converted Raynuss’s Skyrim Lute to work with Argon’s Instrument Hack. And I made three brand new lutes! I also made a new fiddle that works off of the Maxis Violin. The Skyrim Lute and the TSM lute do not overwrite their originals and have all new GUIDS. The TSM Lute has the heavy metal recolors. I pulled the Dragon Age ones from a TS3 conversion.

I also made a default replacement of the Castaway Items, the Boss Bongos and the Ceremonial Pahu Drum. If you have the originals make sure you delete them because you can only have one (the original file name is cs_drums so search for that). The Pahu Drum is end table height so just turn on “moveobjects on” and put an end table of the appropriate height under it!

These are all found under Hobbies > Creative. Enjoy! You’ll need Argon’s Music Hack! It’s included but make sure to delete the copies I’ve included if you already have it!
