Functional Bar Table for The Sims 2
I am really proud of this one! 😊 I have created a small mod that allows counter-height tables in The Sims 2. You don't need tall dining chairs. Any bar stool will tuck under a bar table, and all animations will be correct!
The download includes:
Orbital High Dining - Surface > Tables - $285
Not Quite Orbital Sitting - Comfort > Misc - $100
Bar Stools at Bar Tables mod
LordCrumps’ shadow file, in case you don’t have it already
The mod is required for the bar table to be useable. The bar stool requires Nightlife.
Download: SFS | MediaFire
More pics and info including how to create your own under the cut!
Tumblr media
No clipping when putting plates on the table.
Tumblr media
Sims rest hands on the table when not eating.
The BHAV babble starts here, so you can stop reading if you're not interested!
Creating a Bar Table
To create the bar table, I edited the initialisation BHAV of a regular dining table. I added two lines: the first changes the table's category to 12 which is counter island. The second sets the counter type attribute to 3. Previous counter types only went up to 2, so this new number is used to identify a bar table.
The bar table is still a dining table for semi-global purposes, but the counter animations will be used when serving food.
I also edited the CRES to bring the slots higher, of course.
To create a 1x1 bar table, you can just clone my table. If you want to make a differently sized table, extract my 'Init - Bar Table' BHAV and import it to your new table in place of the existing Init BHAV, and adjust the slot height in the CRES.
Please feel free to use my bar table as a basis for your own creations, and to include the mod with any bar tables you make.
What the Mod Does
The mod makes changes to two semi-global BHAVs.
Chair - Check for Island: Added lines 15-17. If a bar stool is facing toward any side of a bar table (object in category 12 with counter type attribute 3), it will tuck under. This doesn't affect any other counter type. For example, bar stools will not tuck under the wrong side of an island.
Set to Next - Good Dining Chair: Added lines 8-11. If a bar stool is facing toward a bar table (table with counter type attribute 3), that stool will be considered a valid space to serve or eat food. Bar stools next to normal tables will not be served to, and dining chairs next to bar tables will not be served to either.
I've tested multiple times (Sarah and Colleen have eaten far too many sandwiches) but please let me know if you find any issues!

Sunlamp Controller
Disclaimer: this isn't an April fool's joke lol
This little control panel makes all lights located in the same room with it work like sunlamps.
The controller is only needed for lights that aren't actual sunlamps. This mod by Sophie-David is incorporated, so the cheaper fluorescent lamp and custom lights with orig GUID 0x6CC90706 are recognized as sunlamps.
For other kinds of lamps, you'll need a control panel for each room you want extra sunlight in. They work in greenhouses and outdoors as well, on all lot types.
Tumblr media
I didn't want it to be too cheaty, so the controller costs 1.5x the price of one fluorescent lamp.
☀️ Download (SFS) (alternate)
The files are compressed. Conflicts with Sophie-David's sunlamp mod, just delete it before adding these.
Credits to Sophie-David for their mod, Living Dead Girl for the panel mesh, and @shastakiss for the metal texture I blended for the recolor.

Personality-based Witch Idles
I don't play witches by alignments but I haven't found a mod that addresses witch idles in some other way than completely disabling them. And I like idles!
So this mod makes witch idles personality-based instead. It also expands it so that all witches have some idle (if this aspect is unmodded, neutral witches don't do witch-specific idles at all).
Witches with 0-3 nice points do evil idles (plotting & cackling)
Witches with 4-6 nice points do the wand idle (borrowed from the good witch idles)
Witches with 7-10 nice points do good idles (daydreaming & wand)
In addition for TS3 trait users: 0-6 nice points witches with the friendly trait do the daydreaming idle, 4-10 nice points witches with the mean-spirited trait do the plotting idle, and witches with the evil/good trait always do evil/good idles.
Witches who can only do one idle express it slightly less often than those who have two. This mod doesn't affect NPC witch behavior.
Download (SFS) (alternate)
Apartment Life is required. Conflicts with mods that alter witch idles but should be compatible with other witch-related mods (but as always, run HCDU+ to be sure).

Mailbox Mesh Default Replacement
A simple default replacement for the mailbox mesh that removes the wooden ball from the top of its stand.
Also included is a new add-on lamp by @pforestsims that can be layered with the mailbox, and is a pretty garden lamp on its own:
Tumblr media
It'll pull all the metal recolors you have for the Blazin' Buckaroos lamp.
And for those who use the 4t2 Ol' Rustic Mailbox Cover by Michelle, I nudged one verticle clipping with it inwards, so it won't show from under the cover anymore:
Tumblr media
The cover's not included, you can download it from the link above.
📨 Download (SFS) (alternate)
The files are compressed. The default is compatible with the existing recolors for the mailbox and its stand, as well as texture replacements for them.
Credit and thanks to PF for the lamp!

After getting slower in the past few days, my simPE now refuses to build DXT, throwing this "the file exists" message whenever I try.
I tried clearing the cache in Preferences but it didn't change anything. I tried using different versions of simPE but the problem persists across versions. Edit: it happens with all files, and the Build DXT function isn't the only one affected, I also can't replace GMDCs.
Would someone know how to fix it?

I'm back with part 2 of Gloomy Spring, a 4t2 collection of items for those who enjoy the botanical, the antiquated, and the macabre! This time, we're outside in the garden....
This collection consists of a lot of 4t2 conversions of Romantic Garden Stuff! They were originally done by Ladysimplayer8, Linacherie, and TNW! I simply added the recolors Luned did for ts4 (if you play ts4, seriously check their stuff out. Their plant recolor collections are a must!).
You also get a cafe dining set by Alialsims, a skeleton by Serinion, and an open diary by Joyceisfox! All converted by moi...
SFS (65.4 mb, swatches included so you can keep/discard what you want!)
Have a haunting and boo-tiful spring!

🌴Lowedeus' Neighbourhood Skies optimised (reduced texture sizes)🌴
(cleaning my desktop up and want to post this, sorry for the lame preview but i cba lol)
so this is an optimisation of those hood skies by lowedeus. if you encounter pink flashing, then these are for you! these skies are often listed in sims 2 starter packs and not many people realise how much of a toll it has on your game, being at 4k texture sizes. they are a staple for the game tho so thats why i optimised it
a general disclaimer is that if you use custom skies and horizon mods, they are one of the biggest offenders of pink flashing as those use HUGE texture sizes!!
all i did here was shrink the textures to some better sizes, like 1024x512 and 512x512 (the texture sizes here were different so thats why they're not the same)
it will overwrite the original files (these wont work with the others)
eta: these are not for simnopke's skies, but the originals are tagged above
another not eta: the original maxis sky is 512px only, that's what inspired me to do this as there's no reason why other textures can't be that size too
DOWNLOAD
credits - lowedeus for original files
