Object Freedom 1.0

Tired of using cheats to get objects/Sims/Pets to be placed where you want them to be? Tired of doors and windows freaking out when an object is placed in front of them? This mod alleviates a good portion of those issues. More info after the cut.

Here’s something I couldn’t upload in time for the previous @gardenofshadowssims​ bimonthly theme. I understand this might be pointless to most, but hopefully I’m not the only one who appreciates having their cc properly decustomized and organized, without that ugly cc-star. 

That’s why I’m sharing my edit of the lovely necklaces that NichelleRJ extracted from Maxis outfits and pinned each one of them to their respective EP/SP. You can see some pics with lovely Maxis ladies wearing them and how neat the necklaces will look in CAS below the cut.

Life By You hype

Today the new life simulation videogame by Paradox will be shown. I don't know the details on what they're gonna show: is it going to be a trailer, or (I hope) actual gameplay. I'm really eager to see what the Paradox team has worked on, as Rod Humble is part of the development team and he was a part of the TS2 and TS3 teams. I have high expectations for this game, I love The Sims 2 and I've been playing it since I was 7 years old (I'm currently 24), but I would like to experience something fresh that can please my taste. I've continued playing the second installment of the The Sims franchise because The Sims 3 and 4 both have flaws that ruin the experience for me, even though I like aspects of both of them: I hate not being able to create custom worlds in The Sims 4 and I also think it's too easy and family-friendly, it doesn't have interesting stories and drama among households like its predecessors so I have a hard time getting invested in the premades; The Sims 3, on the other hand, is a game that I enjoy and I've played a lot, but ultimately I didn't transition from TS2 to TS3 because I hate when sims stand idling with their eyes looking empty between actions, they seem robotic... somehow TS2 is more immersive to me than TS3 even though the latter was published almost 10 years later.

We are in 2023, TS2 is 19 years old and even though I still love this game so much, its age shows when it comes to technical features that were greatly improved in its successors, for example TS4 easily beats TS2 in the house building aspect (if you want to move a wall in TS2 by one tile, you have to demolish it and rebuild it from the start while in TS4 you can simply drag it and, as a lot builder, this feature saves so much time). I hope Life by You can be a worthy opponent to The Sims franchise... Everything depends on today's reveal.

If the marketing team at Paradox is smart, they should know that they can pull so many players from TS2 and TS3 instead of trying to copy TS4. I hope Life By You is mature, dramatic and introspective, with a focus on character depth. It's a life simulator and life is full of darkness, contradictions, fear and doubt. Let's see what they'll show us! 💖

Hi everyone! Just wanted to update anyone who's following the development of Nissos Simonos! I've had zero time to play in these days because I've just moved in a new home and, sadly, there is no Build Mode in real life to instantly paint walls and tiles 🤣 between working and moving in the new house I've been very busy.

I'm very eager to finish Nissos Simonos, I love it as a project, we've never had custom vacation destinations that stray from the traditional tropical - mountainous - east Asian formula, atleast that I'm aware of; also I want to work on other projects, like Pleasantfort, and I want to play the two neighborhoods that I have ultimated (Rolands Town and Douglasville). I hope to get Nissos Simonos done in the next months!

Hugs from Italy ✨

I'm very interested to see how the development of this game goes! It's finally time for The Sims to have competition, also the fact that Rod Humble is involved makes me think that this game will have more things in common with The Sims 2/3 instead of 4. The graphics look great, I wanna see a nearer shot of the characters to get a better idea of how they look like!

I hope this announcement doesn't interfere with the hype for Paralives. The more competition, the better!

Life by You

Paradox Interactive just teased a new life simulation game called Life by You. Old sims players like myself will recognize the name Rod Humble as the man behind the wheel of TS2.

More news will arrive at an announce ment event on March 20th.

How are we feeling about this? 😄

[khal-ulti]

Hello. Could you show me pictures of your premade families in your new hood? Thank you

Hello! Are you talking about Douglasville or Rolands Town?

The Plumbob Keep is the biggest community out there for historical-medieval TS2, and I think it is one of the largest communities overall for this game. I am currently away from my laptop so I cannot help, but every TS2 simmer who can should give a hand storing the site's data before it gets shut down!

Archiving the Keep

As some of you may have noticed, the Plumb Bob Keep site has been down for several days. At this time, we do not know anything about the future of the site; we have no contact with Sunni's family, who pay for it. Since the future of the site is uncertain, we are calling for all hands on deck to help us try to archive as much of the downloads as possible: images, text, links and actual download zips. We will primarily be using the Wayback Machine, but as Google searching was only turned on in the last year, many things will not be accessible. Fire_flower has created a spreadsheet to help organize the effort and allow us to see where the gaps are. This will be step one of the process, before we dive into our personal collections.

If you would like to help out, please add your name to the spreadsheet linked below. Large sections might need 2 or more people to team up. Please ask if you have questions over at the PBK Discord or fireflowersims or fracturedmoonlight via tumblr. Thank you so much for your time and help! PBK Archive Spreadsheet

I honestly had no idea! This is useful advice when playing big hoods with a lot of community lots which you may not remember the names of.

I was today years old when I realized you don't have to pick a location when you send your Sim to a community lot. You just have to pick which hood you want them to go to and then hit the check, it will go to neighborhood view and let you pick a community lot from there. Posting for anyone else like me who never knew this

@lamare-sims Have you realized the scope of the mods you've made? You have singlehandedly revolutioned The Sims 2 in 2023. It's the latest biggest milestone on this 2004 PC game since lazyDuchess' RPC starter with the fix for the firstborn syndrome, or the mod for separates in all clothing categories!

Every no-cc builder around is finding genius ways to shift objects to create new furniture and deco pieces. The Sims 2 has now become THE ULTIMATE sandbox.

I'm amazed by the community 🙌🏽

This dinning room style was calling me so loudly that I couldn't resist myself, and using @lamare-sims shift mod "with windows" I set up a tiny cute showcase following the advise from @khal-ulti

...So many possibilities here

#i'm shook #Ts2 #If you don't use lamare's mod you're only getting half the fun #I'm totally gonna use tricks by other simblers and credit them because the way people are using this mod is astounding #This game is 18 years old but it still manages to remain fresh and keep us on our toes for new content
