Repository Wizard - Standalone Clothing Mode

Repository Wizard V1.2

Standalone Clothing Mode

This mode of the Repository Wizard automates the process of "de-repositorying" clothing, that is, finding all the textures required by the item and copying them into the item's .package file.

It is useful if the creator repo'ed a teen version of a item to the adult one and you only want the teen version, as once the teen version has been "de-repo'ed" you can delete the adult item.

See the application’s web page for more details about this mode.

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

250 followers Custom Memory Bonanza

It's finally time! To thank all you lovely people for your support, I have been working hard to get this ready for upload and here we are. Today I am sharing my custom memory object, and my library of a whopping 201 custom memories. Based on the wonderful Tattered Diary by DiLight over on MTS, and the tutorial she shared of how to make your own custom memories.

I've always cared a lot about memories, to me they tell the story of the Sims life. Some of you from MTS may recall when I did the whole several year rebuild of my hood, replicating every last detail of the original. I'm memory crazy, okay? And when DiLight gave me the power to make my own, I may have gone a tad overboard. Or just the right amount, you get to decide :P DiLight taught me most of what I know about making custom memories, and the base BHAVs are from her, but as I've learned more I've added some bells and whistles that I hope you will enjoy. It's a new clone and separate GUID from the original tutorial object set up by DiLight, so if you have your own you can have mine too without issues :) Found in misc/misc, costs 1 simoleon.

Download on simfileshare

Features - Brand new form, created by me. Resized BV photo album with new mapping and new texture (seen above, in game pictures at the end of this post). I wanted something that was uniquely mine, and that you don't necessarily have to hide away in the attic or under the foundation. If you don't like it, you also have some additional model forms you can switch between through the pie menu. - Adaptable dynamic menu. Thanks to a really neat trick from @picknmixsims the menu reflects the memories you put in your downloads. If no file with the correct guid is found, the option for it won't show. Which means that although I am crazy enough to have 201, you can go ahead and only pick your favorite ones and the object will automatically detect and adapt the menu to that selection. - Memories all have a custom icon, that's made from game icons from TS2 or TS3. Some I am quite proud of, some are admittedly not great. Not everything is easy to convey through game icons, but I've tried my best, I hope the effort shows. 5 memories have icons that are not from the game, but I tried to match them to the aesthetic as best I could. - Memory subject menu shows only relevant age groups. For example, if the memory is about having a baby, only baby/toddler Sims will show as options. Goal being to keep menu as concise as possible. If you wish to assign memories retroactively, please see jonasn's excellent Memory Commander object, which has support to add my custom memories without age limitations. As well as a whole lot of other useful memory-related stuff. - Extensive documentation detailing everything you may need to know about the memories (text, icon, background, who can get it, who they can get it about, repeatability, where to find it on the object) to help you select the ones you want for your game, and familiarize yourself with them. - English and Swedish translations of memories, and object menu. If someone wants to add their language, that would be great but it's a lot of work so I don't expect it. You are welcome to share your translated versions directly if you wish, or you can send them to me for me to update files shared here :)

Examples of types of custom memories included - Extended family members memories (got cousin, got aunt/uncle, got sibling, got twin sibling, got great grandchild, got stepparent, got stepchild) - Birth related memories (pregnancy, becoming parent, late in life parent, had multiples birth, premature baby) - Marriage related memories (divorce, parental divorce, custody things, alimony) - Relationship related memories (fighting, breakups, additional love memories) - Woohoo related (memories for specific woohoo locations, repeatable generic woohoo/public woohoo) - University degree related (declared major memories, got a minor degree memories, got a major degree memories, for remembering having studied multiple things and being able to see what major your Sim chose without looking at their diploma) - Loan related, for remembering taking and paying off loans of different types - Moving memories (first apartment, child moves out, various memories for sims moving in with others) - Kids related (child's first day in school, got their own pet, nursery rhyme, giving up for adoption, living at orphanage)

Mods automating delivery of my CC memories (more to come) Learned nursery rhyme from - Found here, by me Wrote restaurant guide - Found here, part of jonasn "Novel Writing Improvements" mod

Published: 2-11-2024 | Updated: N/A SUMMARY I’ve remixed and simplified the Modern Fullsize Window/Door No. 02 (Stonetower/Prida, 2007; 2006) set. In this version, I’ve added 20-ish frame recolors (CuriousB, 2010),made items hood-visible, and reposited the glass to my Plain Glass Repository mesh (Simmons, 2023) to give you more color options and less files to manage.

Object Relocator - Updated

Object Relocator V3.3

Editing the Title and Description of an item will now remove any associated "comment" bloat (eg, "Edited by Sims 2 Categorizer" or "Batch 2 translation").

Added a new right-click context menu option "Tidy Catalog Strings". This removes all but the default language (EN-US) strings from the catalog (CTSS) resource and also any associated "bloat comments" for every selected object. If you have objects that have been corrupted by the "Sims 2 Categorizer" program, this action should fix the problem.

Changing the price for a fence no longer crashes if the cost entry in the associated STR# entry is missing. If the STR# resource isn't available in the .package file, this will be noted in the log file.

Added a mode to not include sub-folders when reading objects, by default this is off.

Thanks to lucydique for providing examples of the problems caused by the "Sims 2 Categorizer".

Vintage 1920's House Plan Series

I just added a section with all of my 1920's Series houses to my blog. The downloads will all remain on MTS (there are 62 houses!)

I started to 'redo' some of them - but most of them have very little CC in the first place, so... I will keep them as they are.

Please visit my blog to see them - or click through to MTS: 1920s Series.

...and more!

EP11KB: Industrial Storage Units (3t2)

Published: 2-7-2024 | Updated: N/A SUMMARY “In need of a funkier, more futuristic skyline? The EP11 Kitbash Series (Simmons, 2022-2023) makes neighborhood assets from Sims 3: Into the Future (EA/Maxis, 2013) (and other EPs) available for Sims 2. Sets include single-tile shells and other items you’ll be able to plop on lots. Then, build above, below, in, and around them to create useable structures. Shell challenge anyone?” Here is a set of industrial storage containers from Oasis Landing (Sims 3: Into the Future, EA/Maxis, 2013) as decorative lot objects. They work well on industrial and/or factory lots and will go down with walls. The Storage Cylinder has space for up to four 1-tile doors and/or full-height windows. Otherwise, cover the openings!

DETAILS Requires all EPs/SPs. Cost: §1100 | Build > Architecture Storage Sphere 001 and the “-RECOLOR” files are BOTH REQUIRED for recolors to work – this set includes 30 color options. You also need the BB_Niche1_Master (BuggyBooz, 2012) and Element TXTR Repository from the Repository Pack (Simmons, 2023). ITEMS Storage Cylinder (~23x23 Tiles) (3248 poly) 5-Story Storage Spheres 001 and 002 (3004 poly) - click on the BASE of Storage Sphere 1 to recolor it. Storage Filler Material (638 poly) – make sure it is facing in the same direction as Sphere 001 and placed on the same tile. **Poly counts are semi-high due to meshing issues but limiting placement to 1-2 per lot should minimize the risk of pink flashing. Mind your system settings! DOWNLOAD (choose one) from SFS | from MEGA BUILDING TIPS (suggested methods) Build an octagon (20 tiles across, 19 tiles front-to-back) with sides of alternating lengths of 6 and 7 tiles respectively. Going clockwise, the front side should be 7 tiles across, the next should be 6 tiles across…and so on.

Once you’ve got 8 sides, add doors and/or windows to the center tile on the sides which are 7 tiles across. Use these entrances to get sims in and out of the building. Finally, place the Industrial Storage Cylinder on the tile directly in front of the front door/window. Add other details as needed.

For the Industrial Storage Spheres, you can build a functional catwalk between them. Place at least two, making sure the sides with the opening in the top gate and floor supports are facing one another.

Using columns, walls, etc., build up to the sixth floor, then add floor tiles and fencing.

Olde Thyme Restored Oven and Olde Thyme Victual Preservatorium from The Sims to The Sims 2

Happy 24th anniversary to The Sims! I wanted to convert more for the anniversary, but I hope this suffices for now. These two beautiful gems were created by Lazy Duchess, (credits go to them!) All I did was edit the model in hopes to achieve a seamless conversion from FreeSO. Since these objects are unique, I had a hard time getting them to function the way I wanted in The Sims 3 and The Sims 4, so this download is only for The Sims 2 right now. Price and motives are the same as they are in the original game, info below the cut.

The Sims collection file for The Sims 2 can be found on my collection files page: Found Here

Big thank you to @lazyduchess for their gorgeous models!

Bug fix on Autonomous Crafting mod

Nemertes informed me of a slight bug that got past me in testing, where the owner family of a business lot do not get to pick what recolor item they want to craft when on the business lot. I'm really sorry about that, the bug has now been fixed. Please re-download the fixed version :)

Difference between normal version and Ver 2 is that in version 2 the autonomy toggler object works on community lots too, to turn off autonomy :) For more info on this mod please see the original post here.

AL Gear City window made closeable

Another day, another post! Got a backlog of things to post so apologies for the slight barrage this week :) I love the AL Gear City window! It's my favorite window type for apartments, but there's always the question of, do I go with the open one, or the closed one? I love the idea of my Sims getting a fresh breeze, but as someone who lives in Sweden, you definitely don't want a window wide open when there's a thick carpet of snow on the ground. And in apartments, you can't switch it out even if you have the patience to do that every winter. It's a dilemma! My good friend gayars once made a teddybear that changes clothes as the Sims play with it, and from her I learned how to change the appearance of objects through BHAVs, which lead to this creation :) It adds a pie menu interaction to the AL window that lets you switch mesh between open and closed, so that you have a way to make the window open or closed anytime you like without needing to actually replace the window.

Download from simfileshare

Mod is a global add-on to the windows. Replaces TTAB, TTAs, Object - Model Names and adds two BHAVs. Would conflict with other mods that edit the same resources, but I think it unlikely. Four files total, for open/closed and the diagonal versions of the tow. Translated to english, swedish and spanish.

Fwaysims has two wonderful add-on sets to the Gear City windows, which are posted on MTS (Set One and Set Two). I imagine most people who like this window will have grabbed the add-on, so thanks to fway's generous policy I went ahead and gave the same treatment to them :) EDIT: I forgot to mention that prices have been altered slightly. I edited them to make it easier for myself to keep track during the making of them, and I quite like having them appear in catalog in order of size, so I decided to keep it. If you don't like it, I recommend Object Relocator for easy price changing. Original price was 105, my prices range from 96 to 107.

4t2 SP02 SwimCutOut for TF, AF and EF

Imagine wanting to try out a 4t2 conversion, and thinking "Well, I'll just start with something easy, like a swimsuit!" 🤡 Spoiler alert: it was probably the most difficult thing to start with, but obviously I only realized that after the fact.

Anyway, here's my first (finished) 4t2 conversion! I've been working on it in-and-out for the past month. It's by no means perfect, but it's close enough for me to be satisfied with it.
