Hi kestrelteens! I absolutely love your downtown neighbourhood. Would you be able to share a top down view of it? I’ve always wanted to be able to achieve a built up look like that ☺️❤️

Hiii! ♥ Thank you so much! :3

Of course, here you go! Hopefully you can see the layout clearly ^^

I like to keep things symmetrical and just mix and match, without any rules or anything, I took inspiration from real cities, they're all pretty much random, you'd be surprised how completely different buildings go so well together :)

Hope this was helpful ♥

can you explain a bit more about how backyards with apartments work? or post a top-down view of your lot maybe? is it only the patio area that's part of the apartment, but the grass area (with the grill and chairs) is part of the communal area again?

Hii, yes, you're correct!

The patio area is just an extended foundation that the house is built on, like a porch but in the back. They also have a communal area (on the grass) but I wanted to give them an option to have a private area as well in case they don't want to hang out with their neighbors lol

English is not my first language so my thoughts get tangled up sometimes, hope the explanation makes sense!

When you build an apartment that's not on a foundation, the game doesn't allow you to have a fenced backyard area 'cause you can only have the apartment door on the ground level, that can be the only point of entrance (so the game will know it's an apartment, I assume, or whatever but then your sims can't go to backyard x)

HI! first of all I love your content ♥

I Love using your new baseball caps, is there any way to make them dissapear when using underwear, pajamas etc? like what happens with glasses. Thank you!

Hii and thank you so much! ♥

There is! If you download the baseball caps categorized as 'jewellery' they'll show up in the bracelet category and on the left you'll be able to choose which outfit you'd like to pair them with! ^^

The 'buy jewellery' option is available when using the 'Gussy up' mod, it's a must have for me! :)

Hello! Love your cc :D Just wanted to let you know that the 4t2 Bobbi Braid Buns v1 says that toddlers can wear the hair and, it does show up, but it shows up wonky. The four colors have grey underneath while the other ages do not have this and show up perfectly. Thank you for all you do :D

Hiii and thank you so much for letting me know! :o

I have fixed it and updated the files, you can re-download here or in the original post, just let the new files overwrite the old ones! ^^ ♥

it must be incredible being you and open the sims 2 and seeing all those beautiful decorations and lots and houses 🥺 I admire a lot what you do! pls keep posting the deco photos

Hiii and omg thank you so much for your kindness! 😭 ♥

Of course I will and actually tomorrow I'm going to release the custom 'hood with lots I've been working on, it's finally done! Hopefully you guys will enjoy it, I tried my best ♥

Hello

I absolutely love the way your Sims 2 game looks. It's absolutely breathtaking.However,I do wonder how it looks when you play.Does it looks like the screenshots?If it's okay,would you record,even a second,of your game?

Thank you and enjoy the rest of the day or I hope you enjoyed your day.

Bye-bye

Hii and thank you! ♥

Nooo, it really doesn't haha I use Reshade when I take screenshots, it's very useful for that but it's kind of impossible to play when it's turned on 'cause it can be very taxing on your computer (at least in my case, maybe someone knows some presets that can be used for gameplay?) :)

If you're interested in what presets I use and how I installed Reshade, you can find all the info in my FAQ right here. ^^

Have a lovely day as well! :3

hi! I know you're pausing on sharing builds right now but It's so hard finding multi-lots on one lot and your lot with the 2 houses is so beautiful! I hope you consider releasing it in the future! Love your builds so much thank you!

Hii and thank you so much! ♥

I really can't promise anything, especially because I have already moved in some families and decorated it, but I totally wouldn't mind if you wanted to recreate it, the houses are super simple! I have the floor plans right here. ^^

Just slap an apartment door in the hallway of each house and that's it!

you're such a pleasant person!! i'm starting a new dl folder from scratch after not playing for a decade and going through your downloads and wcifs really brightened my day

Awww thank you so much for this kind message! ♥

I love doing all of this 'cause of people like you who appreciate it!

:hugs:

Hello! I've been curious to ask... How do you keep strays off your lot? I haven't been able to find any mod that effectively wards them off!

Hiii! ^^

The only mod that I know of and use to keep strays from constantly spawning is the No Stray Respawn and it doesn't affect the already existing ones, but this might not be exactly what you're looking for?

I actually don't mind a few stray animals here and there, they're cute x)

Sorry I couldn't help out more!

Hey! I just installed your world, it's so pretty. Will you be making community lots? Because that's missing in the aesthetic, I totally need like cafe's and cinemas and teen hangouts and all that 🩷

Hiii, thank you so much, I'm really glad you enjoy it! :') ♥

I was planning on releasing a few community lots with the 'hood but I ran into some trouble with those I created 'cause they were full of CC and kept on crashing so I gave up. I'm a bit confused with that situation since I can't decorate and build without CC and releasing community lots with lots of CC is very time consuming, that's why I almost never share them. And I'm not sure whether they would work for everyone since they don't even work for me sometimes? It's much easier to just build a house and not furnish it, but community lots need to be functional and pretty and all that. So I have no idea what to do honestly x) And I'm scared of including all those items within the lot 'cause they will for sure cause some issues for someone.

Once I decorate the place to my liking, collecting all that CC to put up for download would take me hours :(

I'm not saying it won't happen, I just have to find a way to make them pretty without a ton of CC ^^

do you have any recommendations for tutorials/resources in converting ts4 cc kitchens? Specifically in keeping the fridge/stove/counter animations

Hiii! ^^

What you need when it comes to converting kitchens are these base counters to clone from and this tutorial on retaining object animations was very useful to me. A refrigerator was used in the tutorial, but the same applies to counters! :)

Hope this info helps, good luck! ^^

Westbrook Cove is such a wonderful world. I want to add it as the sub hood of the world where my sims live. Can you share a subhood version of Westbrook Cove?

Thank you so much! ♥

I can't really share it because it has to be created as such from scratch, but there is a way to turn any neighborhood into a subhood, and it can be done with Westbrook Cove because it's clean and has no subhoods and no stealth 'hoods attached, here's a tutorial on how to do it! But please back up your game, as always, and I'm not 100% sure that it will work because I have never done it myself. ^^

hey! i downloaded westbrook cove and all the cc, and put the westbrook cove file in my neighborhoods folder. however, when i load the game it doesn't show up. do you have any idea why this could be? thanks!

hii, I'm sorry but I honestly have no idea why that could be happening if you did everything correctly :/

does anyone else have any idea? please check the comments, maybe someone else knows! ^^

Hiii!

Your builds are so detailed and beautiful. I saw links for your TS2 builds, but I didn’t see any for TS4. Did I overlook them? 

:)

hii and thank you so much! ♥

do you mean download links or some other? sorry for misunderstanding lol!

if you mean the download links, I don't really have any for the sims 4 lots since i have only recently started playing it and discovering the build mode and such, so I haven't really gotten around to sharing anything just yet! ^^

Hi I know I liked so many pictures on your blog lmfaoo so i just wanted to say im not a bot at all and i truly love ur blog and aesthetic <333 i recently started ts2 (longtime sims 3 player) and blogs like urs are so inspirational lol

Hiii omg no problem at all, thank you so much! ♥

I'm really glad you've returned to ts2 and that you find my posts inspiring! ^^ :hugs:

OBSESSED with those brownstones you just posted, hoping you put them up for download some day 🙏

Hiii and thank you so much! <3

Unfortunately they’re huge and crashed my game as soon as I moved a few families in, but right now I’m making some smaller ones, I’ll share those! They’ll be quite similar ^^
