TS2/TS4 to TS3 Decor People Pt1

murfeelee:

Who are all you people!? XD

image

I saw a post by @firstladyofcasterlyrock and it was frikkin genius, using decor townies on lots, rather than creating a whole bunch of sims and cramming them in households and such.

I only converted a few (there were way too many, and I only needed a few, but I might do more in the future). I tried them out in my game, and it was so sweet that I decided to just upload the file, in case other people wanted them for storytelling as well! ^_^

image

There are like 16 decor people taken from Leo-sims/Katvip’s Men, Women, and Grannies, keeping the exact same variations, for different ages and races and outfits,so no worries; there’s lots of variation on them!

They’re all found under Sculptures.

I kept the polys roughly the same; about 5000 polys for high and 2500 polys for medium. Still, I wouldn’t recommend going crazy and using too many at once, just in case.

It’s uploaded as a MERGED package file only.

So if you want it, here it is: Simfileshare

Enjoy! 🙂

These conversions are great, I’ll add them to my game.

générateur de titres

Un générateur de titres, ça peut être sympa pour trouver des titres aux
fanfics et histoires sims même si beaucoup sont très bizarres, genre
j’ai eu “l’alphabet des caniches”,“la question finlandaise du scaphandrier”,

“le meurtre des cyclones”,
“la procession italienne des autoroutes”, “les prophéties des patients”, “le corridor des amants”

Hi Lily! I just wanted to say that I really enjoy your Misalliances story! I don’t follow many Sims 3 blogs, but I follow yours because I like your sims and stories so much. So if you ever feel like no one likes your sims and stories, just know that there’s someone out there that really does like them! Hope your day is going well, and thanks for sharing your stories with us!

Thanks, anon, two more chapters will be added  ( English version ) but this story is in long hiatus and I might stop it. However, I’ll start soon a new story ( a modern one  and less dark ) I have the whole story already written, but I need to change a lot of things and don’t know yet if I’ll use TS2 or TS3  ( but not TS4, too hard to use for stories.

L’épilogue de “Mésalliances” arrivera plus tôt que prévu, c’est à dire en quelques jours et ne comportera que quelques lignes car absolument tout le monde déteste.

The epilogue will come in a few days and it will be very short, a very few lines only because all the simmers hate it.

Notice: Yahoo groups, aside from the eMAIL function, are going away. I am looking for alternatives for hosting STS files. I am in the process of using Sims Cave (wonderful folks there!) And SFS. This could take a while.

Lifespan Mod

creesims:

Kids grow up so fast it feels like my families spend all their time learning skills or doing homework. Child sims don’t even get to experience all 4 seasons before they have to age up and start planning for college. This is a simple mod that makes the aging process line up better with the 20-day season rotation

Lifespan for each age group:
Baby – 10 days
Toddler – 10 days
Child – 20 days
Teen – 20 days
Young Adult – no change, still 24 days
Adult – 80 days
Elder – still random but minimum and maximum ages have been doubled

Download

You can only have 1 lifespan mod in your game

This should be compatible with No School In Summer mods, I use this one 

ACR: I’ve read that if you use ACR’s fertility feature for surprise pregnancies, adjusting lifespans will make it calculate fertility incorrectly. Adding a lifespan mod wont hurt anything but you’ll need to spawn the ACR controller and adjust a sim’s ferility percentage if you want them to have surprise pregnancies. I don’t use this feature but I believe you can adjust this for an entire hood too

How to download “Dead” Box links

keoni-chan:

simscave:

It’s been discovered that dead/inactive box links can be downloaded on mobile android devices like tablets or phones. For whatever reason the “mobile” version isn’t blocking the downloads. However, this isn’t exactly convenient if you don’t have a mobile device or a lot of available storage on your device (plus having to transfer files, etc.)

So, I studied the difference between the desktop box link and the mobile version. It looks like this:

Desktop –
https://app.box.com/s/812b31c6a4a50760dc74

Mobile –
https://m.box.com/shared_item/https%3A%2F%2Fwww.box.com%2Fs%2F812b31c6a4a50760dc74

So, it seems if you can copy the group of numbers in bold in the desktop version and insert it into the base mobile link, it will take you to the mobile version of the website on your desktop browser, where you will be able to successfully download the file.

Therefore, copy the group of numbers from the desktop link and paste at the end of the following of the mobile link:

https://m.box.com/shared_item/https%3A%2F%2Fwww.box.com%2Fs%2F

Ok, I hope that works for everyone. I’ve tried it only a few times so far, but wanted to report it for further experimentation. Post your experiences.

I look for sims 2 stories,  I’m interested by realistic stories : dramas, crimes stories, stories with sick kids or teens, soap operas…. but no sci-fi:fantasy or stories with creatures, and I’m not fond of funny stories.

No challenges, no legacies, no stories with the premades, and no ingame stories, I’ve read a lot of stories like this and most of them are good, but I want something different, but it’s hard to find sims 2 stories….sims 2 is my fav sims game.

WCIF sims 2 stories ?

?????

It seems it’s impossible to find sims 2 stories, I prefer dramas/soap operas, and stories based on a family, with a lot of dramas and illustrated with beautiful pictures, ( beautiful sims, with a lot of CC, and poses, I don’t like maxis’stuff or maxis match ) taken with fraps or other program, but not these ingame pics with C key.  Like “Little fire burning”, I think a lot of simmers ( sims 2 ) know this wonderful story.

I can’t find any sims 2/sims 3 stories

Now, I want to read stories based on a family with a lot of dramas, something like “Little fire burning”.

And medieval stories ( sims 2/sims 3 )

No stories with creatures or sci-fi or fantasy or unrealistic things.

I need new stories to read as my favorite ones are not uptated.

How to: Make sure your new PC can play Sims 2

scarlet-simblr:

thesimsophonique:

phinae-simblr:

celebkiriedhel:

Here are certain numbers you need to know – they are (from the graphic rules):

   seti cpuLevelHigh           3000
   seti cpuLevelMedium      2600
   seti cpuLevelLow            2000

So when you are getting your CPU – you need to have at least 3 MHz. Now,
Sims 2 was invented before dual cores, quad cores, and octo cores – so
it doesn’t really know how to deal with them. What that means is that if
you have an octo core with less than 2600 it will lag, regardless of
the fact it actually has way more than 3000 in total.

1. Look for CPU where EACH core has more than 2600. (It can cope with
dual cores kind of, so 2600 is enough). You’re better off with fewer
cores, but you can control how the game works if you have more so it’s
not a deal breaker.

2. RAM – always get as much as RAM as you can. RAM is what determines how much CC you can handle.

3. If you can get your Operating System and/or your game onto an SSD
drive it will go like the clappers. An SSD drive is as fast as RAM when
it comes to accessing hard drives. This is not so much from a processing
point of view, as it is an accessing your game data point of view. Also
if you can have your paging files on a separate drive to your O/S and
game – that will make it go faster as well, because it won’t be trying
to access two different parts of the drive at the same time.

4. Graphics cards – avoid NVidia if you can because there has been some
lagging trouble with them and Windows 10. Radeon and Intel seem fine.
NVidia can be OK, but needs to be tweaked to get it to work. The larger
the graphics card memory, the less problem with pink flashy.

When installing your game on Windows 10 – I have a forum over at Leefish
with all the details on how to get it run, based on whether you have
Ultimate Collection or the CD/DVDs. They are in these two threads:

Windows 10 Graphics Problems and CD/DVD
Windows 10 Graphics Problems and Ultimate Collection

Thanks Kiri, very instructive.

How to write about Grief:

There is no right or wrong way to experience grief. Just as there is no right or wrong way to write it. Everyone is different, each set of circumstances are different. 

The point of this post is to show you how different people react in different ways, and give points on how you might write that, depending on your character and story.

Reactions to Grief

  • Numbness: Your character may go into auto-pilot and be unable to process the events that have unfolded.
  • Anger: This can be aimed at other people, at a Higher Being, or at nothing in particular.
  • Unsteady: Your characters may be unsteady. For example, unable to stop their voice from shaking or they may find it difficult to stand.
  • Focusing on Others: Your character may disregard their own feelings because they are so overwhelmed and instead concentrate on someone else’s well-being. 
  • Seek out routines: Amid upheavals, your character may seek comfort in tasks that are familiar and “safe,” such as working, cleaning, making their bed, making absurd amounts of tea or taking a morning walk.
  • Pretending that Everything Is Okay: Grief is viewed as an emotion that should cease or be concealed once the funeral is over. So people mention the news in an offhand comment, then talk and laugh as if all is right with the world.
  • Denial: Some people deny the reality of death and convince themselves that the news is a joke or can’t be true.

Reactions from people surrounding your character:

  • People may avoid your character as they do not know what to say or simply can’t find the right words.
  • Some may even go as far as to cross the street when they notice your character approaching.
  • Even people that the character has known for years may act strange or standoff-ish, simply because they don’t know what to say.
  • On the other side of that, some people may be overly helpful and friendly.
  • It is not uncommon for estranged friends, family or others to suddenly reappear in a person’s life after they have experienced grief. 
  • Either because those people want to offer their support and love  or because they’re being nosy and they want to be kept up to date on the “drama”.
  • Most people will move on from the event fairly quickly if they weren’t emotionally invested. 
  • Some people may even get annoyed at your character for still being upset weeks or months later.

When talking about the person they have lost:

Your character may recall a memory or tell a story about their loved one, these are possible reactions. (I have encountered all of them.)

  • Your character may being to cry or get upset at the thought of the person they have lost. 
  • The person they are talking to may become awkward and avert eye contact when your character brings up the person they have lost. 
  • Others may ask or tell your character to stop talking about the person they have lost. They may roll their eyes, cough awkwardly, or cut off your character mid sentences so that they can change the subject.
  • Some people may ask inappropriate questions about the circumstances in which the character’s loved one passed away. Depending on the personality of your character then may react differently. 

Other things to note:

  • Grief is not constrained by time. 
  • One of the main problems with grief in fiction is that a character is typically heartbroken for a couple scenes and then happy again. But grief does not evaporate because the world needs saving. 
  • Allow your character to wrestle with their grief. 
  • Your character may feel guilty. Your character may feel a twinge of guilt when they laugh or have a good time with someone else; when they do something to remind them that they’re alive, and their loved one isn’t. 
  • Grief is a game changer. A previously outgoing character may withdraw and isolate themselves. Some people may take grief and/or bereavement as a sign that life is too short; they may make big decisions in an attempt to make themselves feel better and grow away from their pain.
  • Sometimes grief can help you find your purpose.
  • At first grief can be all consuming. It hurts and you can’t really control it. It may seem unrelenting. Eventually the grief will become easier to deal with, your character may find the days to be better, but that doesn’t mean that when the grief hits it doesn’t hurt any less.
  • For most people, grief never really goes away. “Sometimes you have to accept the fact that certain things will never go back to how they used to be.”
  • It is rare that a person will ever give a long speech about their feelings, a lot of people struggle to even find the words. But that’s okay. Show the reader how your character feels, rather than just telling them.
  • Don’t pause the plot to deal with the aspect of grief. This could overwhelm the readers and drag the pace down. In reality, life doesn’t just stop due to grief, the world keeps spinning and things still need to be done. Use the character’s grief as a backdrop for the story’s events.  
  • Yes, grief affects the character’s day-to-day life, goals, and relationships. But it shouldn’t drive readers away or stagnate the story. Instead, should engage readers and produce empathy that keeps them turning pages.
  • You don’t need to tell your readers that everything will be fine. You don’t need to provide all of the answers.

“Skirting grief and treating it lightly is easy. But by realistically portraying it through a variety of responses and its lasting effects on the character’s life, readers will form a connection with your characters.“

DOWNLOAD THE SIMS 2 UC

afroplumbobs:

uglytownie:

I get a lot of questions about the ultimate collection, and like most I got the UC during the promotion where it was given away for free a coupe of years ago. But, EA has announced they will no longer be giving out the UC. They haven’t supported it in years, or even sold it. So it is officially abandonware, and has found it’s home on oldgamesdownload.com, a trusted website that only uploads abandonware, primarily classic and older games. So no, you do not have to worry about piracy. 

I will not be answering questions, or help with installing, or ‘fixing’ the game to work with win10. Because they have a very handy and straight forward youtube tutorial on how to install the UC, and the internet has a million links (like this one) on how to remedy the graphical issues that win10 users experience.

I also will no longer be answering questions about the UC, since I added all of this to my FAQ page.
