>>486997860In the /aco/ thread
>>486998089trays when
I hope your weekend is good, sisters
>>486998765thanks you too sis
Reposting because my embarassment over putting too much effort into a sim comic doesn't match my all-consuming need for (you)s
>>486998089Where is the clone? How do we get in contact with the cloning agency to get our own copies?
>>487001754ok thats it, please proceed with the usual shitposting
>>487001754>>487004239Composition is good but needed more build up instead of the 3 image montage to make me feel invested. I understand that's a lot of work though. Thank you for reading my blog.
>>487004940No no, I completely get that, but most of the 'early' screenshots are her being a derp, her parents fucking, or Wolfgang before I changed his face. maybe I should make a tanya0 page...
What happens when kids don't get enough sugar?
>>487011750undiabeetus
>>487001754I'll tell you what I honestly think. Your composition, that is the way you put the images and text boxes, is pretty cool but the content isn't interesting enough. Like what we get before they get together is basically nothing. Where is the banter? Where is the drama. Why should we care.That said, I know editing takes time and its obvious you put some effort in this so here's my you.

>>487001754>>487013720i agree with this anon but also acknowledge that you need time to set up characters before moving to drama. would like to see more of your stuff but without the timecut jumps and more of the characters and what bad or interesting stuff happens to them

Does anyone share kits as cc? I could work on updating my game with anadius but I don't want to for a while now. I'm glad I don't have the shopping bag in my UI yet.I'm interested in the newer kits tho.

Wonderchild household is expecting a spare soon. The micromanagement of an infant is annoying, and somehow I think the toddler stage will be worse. It'll be worth it for my eugenics project though.

I just realized I sent these assholes to spend Christmas over the beach to make it more appropriate for summertime, but then basically didn't have them do any beach or ocean related activities at all. Therefore here's Hannah pouring sand out of a bucket onto some more sand
https://youtu.be/waHo0TMvcW0?si=82DJxtLON2d_2Sqx>those kill animationsI forgot how janky sims 3 was when it came to animation modding
>>487043507Why would you assume it's a technical limitation and not a lack of talent?
Impossible... she has discovered some sort of gravitation-defeating device.
I already forgot about the state of affairs back in Brindleton Bay. Christ this just looks so miserable.
i can no longer open the game because the origin app keeps uninstalling itself on my new computer, but i randomly felt like dropping by and saying that i hope you all are well. i've been kind of feeling like playing ts2 some more
>>487045981cute swimsuit, where is the tail?>>487049915how come shes the only one whos a vampire in her family?>>487053065anon its time to just pirate the game
We all know what you're looking at, anon
>>487045572I wasn't assuming anything, It's just we've come a long way from this to what we see now in Extreme Violence on TS4it's just interesting
>>487055937>anon its time to just pirate the gameyeah probably. but i'm not really motivated to do so at this point
>>487053065I just realized the noticeble gap in qualty between the older and newer maps. like most of the bottom two rows are absolute garbage and offer nothing gameplay wise beyond one or two community lots, compare that to the original base game worlds which were basically smaller Open-worldless sims 3 neighborhoods
>>487055937>cute swimsuit, where is the tail?Thanks, it's my favorite one actually. I never gave Hannah the tail, just temporarily had it on for the CAS screenshot. Jury's still out on that. I kinda don't see the point since I'd only use it for select outfits anyway. It looks strange when it clips through her skirt in normal clothes.>how come shes the only one whos a vampire in her family?She's a vampire because idk, came out wrong at birth or something. At one point I wanted her to be like some sort of terrible secret shame of the Drake family who lives in some shack in the backyard and is barely ever seen, but I got lazy and never went through with it.She was a normal sim for a while after that but earlier this year I decided I like the vampire version better, even if it doesn't make much sense in this save.
>>486998089I spy a hairy pitty
>>487062238what the shit? when did jenny get cute?
>>487031407unfortunately the demon eyes, and a terrible sense of fashion, accompanied the wunderkind into toddlerhood.
I'm quite happy with the fake band basement.>>487059426>It looks strange when it clips through her skirt in normal clothes.Tail looks kinda strange for a modern vampire anyway. >At one point I wanted her to be like some sort of terrible secret shame of the Drake family who lives in some shack in the backyard and is barely ever seen, but I got lazy and never went through with it.Poor Hannah would've been so lonely.

I wish ceilings were a thing from the start. I keep forgetting to paint ceilings for every room I edit or build I make.

>>487077865That doesn't even make sense.
>>487072028She's paler than normal here.
>>487080463It looks like Jenny's tray was downloaded by a player who is genetically female and that player gave her a make-over Which is a compliment
>>487083000What's a sim made by a genetically male player then?
>>487083353everything in these threads excluding >>487066436's sims obviously
>>487067581most ceilings irl look just as basic as the default ones though
>>487083569Are you sure about that?
>>487084586yea
>>487084931That nigga has a penis, bro

It's 2024. Is TS4 worth playing now?
>>487092143Hell no
>>487083696true that, it's mostly in stone builds that it looks off that's all, or in a fancy mansion
>>487067581do you play the game while staring at the ceiling?i even stopped putting wall decor on internal walls lately because i realized in gameplay no one gonna see those anyway, only external walls. that was game changing to me as a builder
Photo challenge, take an old time portrait of your sim
>>487108728sometimes when i enter tab mode the ceiling ends up in the background of some photos. in the sims 3, if there’s no ceiling/floor tiles placed on the roof level, entering tab mode shows the whole ass sky. your house just has a gaping ceiling/roof. but, yeah, i don’t bother actually “painting” it. as it long as it’s neutral and not showing off the sky it’s good enough for screenshots.
>>487110369>shows the whole ass skysame in sims 2, but it's not ceiling paint related. it's just that you floor tiles, which is easily fixed by... putting floor tiles on places where real rooms arei could go even further and say that if you dont have internal gable roof walls (those that created automatically without your control, you can potentially see through those as well if not careful. but that's also of benefit too, allows you to extend roof over porch without walls so it looks more natural as roof
>>487108728>do you play the game while staring at the ceiling?no anon but sometimes they ruin some screenshots for me>no one gonna see those anyway,I usually build for my own gameplay so I care, cuz I do see those wall decors
>>487109121which time period mimi?
>>487072028>>487080463Is this really Jenny? The room seems too tidy to be hers.

finally figured out how to get reshade working in sims 2yet for some reason it overheats gpu a lot more than in sims 3 using same effects. must be that xenos injection doing extra nonsense that sims 3 does not need
the next pack is possibly about elder sims
Have a great evening

>>487119762should be interestingcan’t wait for it to be converted into mods for the games before it!
>>487066436>Tail looks kinda strange for a modern vampire anywayYeah but I kinda wanted her to be a hybrid demon-vampire in the first place, like I mentioned in the last thread. It's why I made her into a witch-vampire, it was a quick and easy way to give her extra strange (demonic?) powers that would tie in with the story I had in mind overall. But at the time I didn't really feel like putting up with tails or horns and now it's been done better, so eh.
>>487110859>I usually build for my own gameplayin sims 2 if you have sim with fortune aspiration you REALLY don't want to have prefurnished house with bunch of paintings or sculptures, because those occasionally roll as wants, and you wanna fullfill those yourself.im actually debating just giving "ea treatment" to my sims 2 builds and leave them unfurnished, but i might include 2 versions...not putting decor on internal walls actually makes furnishing easier for me (i hate that part the most personally). this is real view you'd have in actual gameplay so that's how im want to decorate now. i also realized that this santa barbara looking build makes it so everything is "internal" wall anyway. got inspired from ea's own builds in veronaville. not sure what this style even called where you have open arches to outside. i know it's southern; santa barbara esque. i maybe even recall that style in sims 4 desert world now that i think about it...
>>487135069outside pretty much done, just need to fill designated spots with flower bushes and not spam them since in sims 2 bushes need real care to upkeep or they die, i love that aspect because it makes you feel rich when playing rich mansions with own gardensi still not sure if i should add pool or not, when i did it was too expesnive even for mansion, like 20k extra
>CC household in library doesn't have the CC required mentioned anywhereWhat's the fucking point of uploading this shit to the library then? Why do these retards "share" these households?
>>487140560this is why im vanilla purist and only build base game if i plan on sharing builds. at least in sims 3in sims 2 running just base game is impossible these days, most fixes to run the game need ultimate collection
>>487140560Many of them might simply be idiots who don't know the difference between uploading and just saving locally.
there was anon couple threads back who said that even sims 2 had terrain tool in the map so builds made more sense when on a slopei just checked and it's actually true, i had no idea sims 2 lets you edit slopes. there is cheat added with free time expansion modifyNeighborhoodTerrain [on/off] you can use and then place lot on a slope. which leads to more interesting build designs with foundation tool (and cfe) laterso until sims 4 has something like that, it's in no way ready to compete with neither sims 3 or sims 2 when it comes to terrain tool. what's the point of terrain tool in sims 4 when all your builds will feel out of place in the world itself

>>487165625Do you have any books on tudor style houses?
>>487166405nah i just look at the houses ea builds and take note from those. sims logic is not really fit for real builds. i recommend pleasant family house as main inspiration. it's the masterpiece of gable roofing created in 2004 when 3D building was new and unexplored technology so it deserves more credits than people realizehttps://sims.fandom.com/wiki/215_Sim_Lane

>>487189982To keep things under 20k, and thus affordable to sims who are single or players without Apartment Life, the shower has been omitted (though the tile for it is still there) as well as the floor in one of the bedrooms.

Is there any way to make sure a set of sliders override all others? Sims doesn't have a fucking load order for mods like I'm used to with other games.
>>487233710is this a university class mod? or did you just make them sit like that for the picture
>>487248194There's a mod by ColonelNutty that lets you set sliders to specific numbers outside of CAS. Maybe that will help.

making chukie's apartment from rugrats. wanted to do it in sims 3 at first, but since i got into sims 2 all of a sudden, might as well continue pimping out veronaville. this looks like one of those southern style buildings so it would fit into veronaville nicelythe back of it will have to be improvised since i cant remember if show ever showed the back of chukie's yardwhich begs the question, does anyone remember how chuckie's apartment looks like on the inside? the layout at all?
Are there any CC creators out there with a focus on futuristic and sci-fi build/buy items?
Update my game now before the new EP fucks up all the cc or wait after the EP storm and update then?

Because one, I haven't updated my game since March; and two, that way there will be enough time given for at least some if not all of the mods I use on the regular to get updates.
>>487268595I just got introduced to hamsterbellbelle the other day while trying to resolve an issue regarding situational outfits being infinitely cursed.

its been an entire year since i last played Sims 4Is it worth to come back? Have mods upgraded or changed any? should i just suck it up and play sims 3 instead?
>>487304083play sims 2 instead. there is one thing sims 2 has that even sims 3 with its create-a-style doesn't have, and that's setHighestAllowedLevel 15 cheat which unlocks true potential for constrainFloorElevation

Hopefully lazy ass Turbodriver gets off his vacation before next week.>>487303574I figured this would be the case since the shitty fake eyelashes are built into the eyeshape, but it's still a pretty good showing of classic EA incompetence. No wonder they looked so ugly and chunky, they have to be big enough to cover up the default blocky lashes.
>>487281927Hi.>Jenny loliNot to be confused with loli Jenny.
>>487309991that's where sims 2 composers stole theme from
>>487303574>skin detailYou use an entire skin detail slot for that to remove that? Get one of the mods that remove them without that. Cien has some that remove them for child sims and Kijiko has for adult for example. Granted they might need updating for that patch, who knows really.
>>487281927She looks like she smells like really spicy noseburning cinnamon.
>>487317723I don't like to because I like background sims I don't edit having some sort of eyelashes, even default ones, and ones I edit more closely I use the skin detail and custom lashes.
>>487311756>Lucky you, having the choice.I chose to go offline over a year ago.

>>487356186Who in their right mind installs Origin though? Don't even make an account, get the base game through Anadius as well.
How come they make the game "more inclusive" instead of actually fixing it and and making it better?

>>487357256Nta but been feeling so annoyed by this fact I might just make my own Sims game with blackjack and hookersI was planning to make a Simslike with a fantasy or "castaway" twist, but maybe I'll just make a straightforward one but with features sims 4 lacks
>>487356913Because that is their agenda. Plus Blackrock and Vanguard hold a considerable amount of EA stock.>>487357501I've been wanting to make a game, but knowing me it's probably going to be niche, text-based and NSFL.
Is the sims 4's college expansion any good? TS2's is too short and TS3 is uglier than 2.

Huh, so it turns out The Sims 2 supports Lua scripting
>>487358884It's kind of alright, but you don't need to send your sims to college unless you want a jumpstart to their careers or have become a Freemason. Robotics is a nice skill even if it's only good for making Servos and toys to give children and Childish sims. I personally like the Engineer career and some of the rewards that both it and the Law career provide. And there's some good WW animations which involve ping pong tables.>>487364679That explains a lot. I can kind of get Python and XML, but Lua mostly eludes me to this day. Also probably explains why in my day there weren't as many out there and ridiculous mods for The Sims 2 as there are for, say, The Sims 3 or 4.

>>487354886It's hilarious to watch his old Sims 3 videos where he sounded a lot more happier and even praised the game. Sometimes he even omitted some blatant issues the game would have, and pretend it was perfect just to be happier in his reviews.Fast forward to now, not only he shits all over the games, he tears them apart by not just bringing up issues, but by nitpicking at this point.>>487353319Ryanplayssims seems to be lesser evil and probably most sane of all simtubers. He implied numerous times that you should pirate sims and not support EA. One day he also turns up to stream with game full of sims store items as .package files. So he clearly pirated those like a chad.

i wish food wasn’t such a retarded thing to mod. a severely untapped reservoir for mods (for the sims 3 at least).
>>487356216I'm afraid I have seen that, yeah... some even straight up go into literal eugenics rants.That's why if you see female simmer you can safely assume they all insane. Most male simmers are insane too, but there are exceptions and you would have to look amongst the men to find them. Men often the ones who build in the Sims games as well, so that's automatic sanity.

>>487358884>Is the sims 4's college expansion any good?No, because the actual college experience is shit. Did you know that graduation is a rabbit hole? Also when you sign up a sim for uni, you gotta play them now. They don't just study autonomously if you leave them, and if you dare change the household (if you do rotational gameplay) then it's sure that the sim you left in uni, without your autistic supervision is not gonna pass and might go on probation. It's very limited in terms of options, like for example, I have a story where I want to send two friends to the two different colleges, and see how they would keep their friendship or drift apart. And I wanted them to stay in the dorms. That's not possible because I can't keep switching back and forth everyday to make sure they're studying. The half assed way I can achieve this is f I'm gonna do that and try to make both pass, it'd have to make them move in together and make them study from home, and then pretend they're not in the same house and going to different uni, which won't be satisfying .Also you don't see the campus if you study from home, your sim just disappears when it's class time and comes back when it's over. The pack does has good items, and I do like the world it shipped with. And that it has a professor career option.
I want to add something about the dorm experience, since you can't have cookers in the dorms, if your sim wants to eat they have to go the cafeteria. That's fine in practice right? but the stupid sims team made the cafeteria a different lot so you gotta 'load screen' into it cuz fuck loading two lots at the same time in this shit ass game. They let you have food stalls tho so your sim won't starve between classes, and your dorm-mates will often leave food on the floor and you can eat that. Honestly it could sound pretty accurate uni life, but you know that's not why did it that way.

>>487393084>It just seemed like the go to work expansion with extra busy work that takes hours ingame time for what should be 20 minutes.Go To Work is still one of my favorite EPs the game released. I love having the option to see the actual science lab and be an mad scientist. I know the detective career is nuts tho, there ARE criminals in TS4 apparently but you will never, ever, encounter them. I had hoped it would cross-interact witht the villain career but no. Still tho GTW is miles better than University because it's actually fun.
>>487394527I only ever tried the scientist and doctor career sites. The tasks to do sadly didn't change much as they ranked up in careers. The detective one I have no idea, might be worth a try if the investigations aren't all the same every time. Maybe the basemental mod adds criminals? Or you need to make sims with the crime careers for them to appear.

Why is the forehead hairy like this? It's reminiscent of alpha cc and I hate it
>>487432815Vellus hair (aka baby hair). Your hair just doesn't cleanly stop at your face
>>487432815nogs like greasing down their forehead hairs even though it looks like shit and the sims 4 is all about diversity
The non conflicting lash dream is dead lol, your average modded isn't going to be individually meshing the lashhttps://x.com/ShoobySims/status/1815835927790420029
>>487303574>>487311756It's like that because the ea ones are an actual 3d mesh, the cc ones aren't.
>>487435565
>>487435565>>https://x.com/ShoobySims/status/1815835927790420029Christ, this is the fucking medical wearables thing again. Finally, EA added a new mesh slot and texture space that can be used for eyelashes- no wait, no it can't. I figure it could work for some blocky MM style lashes at the least, but that's about it with how tiny the space allotment is.>>487435731The CC ones are meshes anon. I don't know where you got the idea they aren't, but that's specifically why texture space is an issue since they have to use space intended for something else, like rings or glasses to make it work. Simple texture overlay lashes could just be slapped on top without any conflicts, I know because I have those.

i just realized there is an oversight in how i laid out floor plan for these apartments is that none of them have "shared walls", which okay, for fancier apartment maybe it's more realistic, but since it's sims 2 you'll miss out on one of the cooler features it has, neighbor noise.i might include 2 versions, one where i have to completely redesign floor plan and make all apartments multi storey so that there will be shared wallsissue with that though, the back of the building will clearly be better as single apartment will have TWO BALCONIES now, kinda ridiculous, so i'm not sure...
>>487442226floor plan.in sims 2 all furniture you do is used by townie npcs, so it's quite literally irrelevant to gameplay, unless you visiting them. when you buy one of the apartments, it always comes empty, but that's why i like to give some personality to apartments since i assume some npc gonna be living there
>bad news - eyelashes from the most recent sims 4 update are visible in 1st person camera mode
>>487437632>>487435731>It's like that because the ea ones are an actual 3d mesh, the cc ones aren't.Oh wait fuck you're right anon, I'm a retard. Been a long day I guess, my mind somehow jumped from meshes straight into "but it's not just a texture overlay around the eye." CC lashes will simply overlay with the eyeshape's fake lashes because of how they're made.

Deciding to put in all these extra things. If I have to choose between hair and eyelashes then I'm going to choose hair every time because I'm not up in my sim's face anyway

>>487494309she finds kinship with horses
>>487356913>>487357082>>487357256Sims has gotten so shitty because they have no competition in the life sim genre. I was sad to hear that Life by You was canceled. Honestly kind of surprised that Paradox just chocked the whole thing up to a loss. They have released some mediocre games in the past so the game they made just not living up to the vision they had doesn't alone explain why it got canceled. Just making a Sims clone that the lead dev says is made to be easy to add a sex mod to should have been enough to justify releasing it.Still holding out hope for Paralives. Sims 4 is a decade old now and the character models have looked dated for a long time. It takes a witches brew of mods from 5 different sites to try to make characters that look like they came from a modern game. Sims has been riding a decade old game by just releasing new DLC so hard that they put Paradox to shame. Paralives will debut with a big advantage just having contemporary character models featuring innovations like a height slider. Sims has gotten so lazy I'm surprised nobody tried to break into their market years ago.Kind of funny that Stardew Valley ended up becoming the life sim game that spawned a bunch of imitators. The autism grind in Stardew gives you something more to do than the Sims does though. Sims at it's core is a needs based game. That's why picking level up traits that make it so the hygiene or fun needs don't decay just make the game boring. With everyone speaking a nonsense language the story telling social sim aspect is never going to be as strong as something like the Persona series. A game with so many options for the kind of social interactions you have makes it hard to make those interactions super deep and interesting. Without some sort of autistic resource grind that goes beyond just press X to paint to make money, it can be easy to get bored.
>Still holding out hope for Paralivesyou shouldn't. it looks extremely agendafied already. bottom line with all these life sims is that none of the new games will have the soul that The Sims™ had. modern times and life sims are not compatible. even original sims had to do 1950s american dream setting in order to parody itself as making life sim in current times would just look silly
>>487527180>still holding out hopes for paralives https://x.com/_amasse/status/1275497520890884096
>>487527745>it looks extremely agendafied already.True, thought Sims 4 has leaned heavily into this the past few years too. Player demand is a large part of it. People want a lot of this shit. I just want a decent life sim sandbox where I can make the game anything I want. i don't particularly care if certain current times things are in the game if I can just cut them out on my own and do what I want. >>487528127People that care about shit like this actually play these games so I'm not surprised they are being catered to. Sims lets you replace any household you want in the world with a custom one. I can go to the custom characters in the gallery and see that all the popular ones that people actually enjoy don't tick any of the Blackrock ESG boxes. I can just make a world with them and enjoy myself.

Just browsing around on YouTube for upcoming Sims competitors, a couple results stand out. InZOI has the most recent updates and the most complete looking game of any of the upcoming Sims challengers. A few big YouTube channels focused on the Sims have done videos on this game. It look pretty good. Super realistic characters and really good graphics. You can directly control your character and run around like you're in a GTA game. Korean games always feature beautiful characters. Game looks to be in an alpha build around the end of last year, but it looks promising. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Igakmd3kwLs

>>487640524is it as bad as train simulator now?
>>487656012this is exactly the reason i say game is not "free to play"if it requires online account, it's not free, period. because you're signing tos like it's a product and serviceold dvds and fbi warnings didn't have any of that, you didnt sign shit, you just had DO NO DISTRIBUTE warning, so you owned the damn content

>>487653841unsealed copies of katty parry disk is not real content
>>487676364i mean sealed. they were expensive in 2013, must cost a fortune now, which is where the price is inflated from
>>487676364>>487676852They’re talking about all the sims store items. You had to use points to buy them so they’re probably estimating the total value of points needed to buy the whole store

>>487683735Normal pirates just use anadius>>487626642You need a mod from zerbu to use custom traits, they changed the code around it. Also if you have the simply anjuta mod that disables makeup for randoms in cas you have to update that too
>>487699984she is very sexy
>>487700325>You need a mod from zerbu to use custom traitsNo you don't. You need one for preferences, not traits.
>>487613332so an update on my weird idea for a buildit's functional and cars will work if you have at least 11 squares of flat surface, even 10 works, but pizza guy unable to get pizza out the back without extra 1 square. road is strange looking like that and there is no way around it. if i had bigger lot, perhaps you could blend in terrain a lot better
>>487706214but in this neighborhood, unfortunately there was no better lot candidate for this build except this tiny space here, maybe if i bulldozed some houses to the side...
>>487706409and you know what yeahthis is sims 2 afterall. in case you didnt know, sims 2 has literal no limit on how many apartments you can have, so in theory i could make A WHOLE STREET to be continuous row of townhouses on single lot gradually going down the road san francisco styleso yeah, i consider this a successful experiment
>>487658383Mime girl sitting in Shaggy's lap? Jinkies!
i like the back of this place thoughbut perhaps it's because after sims 4 i been so strarved for terrain tools that anything with terrain feels good now
Are there any lists of like definitive must have sliders that dont conflict with each other?
>>487709759marital woohoo with sole purpose of procreation
>>487710165Do you have anything in the basement? It seems like a good opportunity for another apartment.
>>487714215i thought about it. it's more than possible, problem is, i'd have to rebuild the whole thing if i wanted to add extra level into there. i cannot do it easily because there is no "sandwitching" in cfe. if i do it then floor above has to sink first
>>487680338very nice
>>487715190yeah this what i mean. whole build has to go down if i wanted floor there, which includes terrain around it, and i spent too much "evening out" ground to go through it again.and even if i wanted to use ground floor itself as basement, then windows wouldnt work anyway, because that requires flat surface, which means awkward ground rising in middle of all that softness i carefully crafted... unless basement literally at the lowest point of the map where that birch tree is, which wouldnt look cool imho
>>487716531If you can't build anything there, I'd hide it with more foliage. Maybe you could build a staircase that goes down to that area? Personally for all I bitch about building in ts4, it's the only good advancement made in the game series.
>>487717205sims 2 foilage is actually real, so that means it overgrows and needs watering and trimming, which means it needs flat surface access to take care of it. you can't just spam it (you can actually, but plants will die and lower room mood)here is an example of what i mean with these hedges. i left exactly one flat square as access to them
About two or three sims have had their whole body shape turned fridge-like from the update. I'm surprised it wasn't more.>>487711673She's well off financially, so marriage would be advantageous.
>>487717847somewhat of a cope. you can use these wall items as a fake foilage sometimes. wall items can still go up and down a wall with a key, but not higher than 16 steps walls, which that cfe wall clearly higher than that, so it's not ideal
like there. this is your typical sims 4 foilage, but guess what, it's not functionalit's clusterfuck of objects clipping through with no access to them. if you aren't willing to accept it then sims 2 building is not for you, it's more realistic than flower spam
>>487718453Oh, maybe a wall fountain then? Would look nice on the brick with the ivy surrounding it.
Are the new eyelashes equippable on children?
What all did the new update break, just scripts? Are my skin tones/eye defaults/extra sliders fine?
>>487727535Does Dokie really post here?
>>487725054no
>>487725054>eyelashes>childrenMonster
let's play chess, /tsg/
>>487728507not anymore
>>487725054In addition to the answer being no, there's a pretty good chance you won't ever get even CC lashes in the appropriate slot because of the way they work and how little texture space is allotted to them. These lashes for example would be right out, there's no way you could make them work the EA way.>>487731405What seems to be the problem, anon?
>>487733861>there's a pretty good chance you won't ever get even CC lashes in the appropriate slot because of the way they work and how little texture space is allotted to themall the CC lashes can still be moved to the eyelash makeup category at least, freeing up glasses and skin detail slots
>>487734105But what's that gonna do when you still have texture conflicts? You can move eyelashes to scars or a similar category right now, it's not like we're running low on slots, but we're desperately out of texture space on sims.
>>487733391teach me and i will
>>487733391What are the stakes?
>>487734472>But what's that gonna do when you still have texture conflicts?nothing. I understand it's still fucked when it comes to texture space but I still like the fact there's at least an exclusive spot to put eyelashes in makeup now, which means we can have different eyelash styles per outfit without needing to use up the glasses spotit's not great, but it's not terrible
>>487734796>there's at least an exclusive spot to put eyelashes in makeup now, which means we can have different eyelash styles per outfitEh, I guess that's a benefit. I have a few sims I think who alternate between glasses and lashes in a few outfits, but mostly I prefer to set the lashes as a skin detail that uses whatever set of textures (earrings in my primary use case since longer hair hides them anyway, I don't need that slot free) since it requires less thinking.
>>487736168What eyelash CC uses the earrings as a texture space?

>>487723012admittedly if it's community lot like a park, you can spam plants as much as you want, since nothing goes bad there but community lots are... well... niche.

here is pro tipdont attempt making diagonal houses in sims 2. items dont work in diagonal, omitting the fact that you even need 2 cheat codes to get diagonal placements
why is the sims 2 music so shite? especially compared to 1basically all the melodies sound like theyve just randomly placed notes on the scale
>>487759250Fuck you
>>487759323listen to this and tell me it isnt just tools > randomizehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BsOSj-dFc-U
>>487759250Finally someone who agrees. I have no idea, but I somehow get the feeling they got Mark Mothersbaugh on name value alone and didn't give him enough time to compose something actually good. It's not like Jerry Martin and co. were unavailable, they did the music for SC4 after all and there was no reason to go to an external composer other than name recognition.Before anyone gets uppity about it though, a reminder that the first two expansion packs for Sims 2 had a bunch of remixes of the soundtrack that actually straight-up replaced the original music once you had them installed. Maxis knew the tunes that shipped with the game weren't up to par, unlike with Sims 1 where the tracks were more situational and EP specific.
>>487759775ERROR: [youtube] BsOSj-dFc-U: Video unavailable. This video is not available
>>487760112sucks to live in a non-free country :(
>>487760112nvm, it was just yt-dlp being weird. yt going after 3rd party downloaders
>>487759775It's SOUL. You wouldn't understand it.Next you'll say Sims 4 has the best OST, if so then you have no taste.
>>487760483I'm not that anon, but Hot Date is completely unbeatable and if you disagree, you're a motherfucker.Sims 1 in general is pretty blatantly the best one, since it's actual music composed by people who know what they're doing that just happens to serve as the OST of a game. Not to say there aren't individual good tracks in 2 and maybe even 4, but 3 in particular is fucking awful with how much of it is just generic inoffensive background music. Worst Sims OST by far.
>>487760815Ok fair. As long as you don't like 4 you're fine. I like Jerry Martin and Marc Russo's songs as well, and probably more than Mothersbaugh's, but I have a lot of dumb nostalgia for S2's OST regardless. Simsation for example is probably one of the best songs in the game.

>>487761448thats a joke and it went over your head but any daw has randomisation anonyou can also just, you know, manually place notes on the score at (semi-)randomas long as its going a bit up and going a bit down you will have a "melody"
*ahem*2 > 1 > Castaway > Medieval > 3 >>> garbage > 4
>>487762143>it was a joke!Wrong, it was an actual criticism you had that was proven to be absolute bullshit. Cope!>as long as its going a bit up and going a bit down you will have a "melody"So you agree it's an actual melody (and a good one) and therefore not random? I accept your concession.
>>487761876this sounds exactly like what it is and what its supposed to be (corporate music)
>>487762427mark, my criticism is that the melodies are crudely constructed akin to randomly placing notes on a scalethe way how you did it is completely irrelevant, for all i care you spunked on your lappy and it made a short circuit
Fuck mainline games post your favorite spinoff game
Seasons + Vampires + Paranormal Stuff = best bundle
>>487761142SC3k's soundtrack is one of my favorites so I'm admittedly a little biased, but I still think things went oh so wrong when EA decided The Sims should move away from the original Maxis music team and its collaborators, Jerry Martin, Marc Russo, Kirk Casey, the lot of 'em.At least mods exist to bring in the old music to 4, but obviously it's not the same. Don't think I could tolerate the game otherwise though. Sulani's fucking great with the hilarious Vacation soundtrack but it does have the sad side effect of highlighting how terribly lame the actual music for that expansion is.

While I'm still mad about retarded-ass Turbo, how about this cool moodlet description which I think used to have entirely gender-neutral language until that moron in his infinite wisdom I presume tried to make it pronouns compatible, but did it about as well as EA and left it a confusing mess of mixed-up pronouns.
>>487780862Maybe its my esl talking but i dont get whats wrong with it?Is it the "their conception" part? Cuz i assume its referring to Hannah.
>>487782442It's ultimately inconsequential, but the sex of the subject is established through the use of words like daughter and crucially she, but for whatever reason some of the text is written to use neutral language instead which grinds my gearset.Stick with one, either it's "no child" and "they did not enjoy" like it used to be or fully gender specific. Currently it's half column A, half column B and the inconsistency bugs me about as much as the rotten autonomy that causes this situation to happen in the first place.

>>487785691retard
>>487783436Ahh I see. Thank you for explaining. As for the autonomy part, I hate it as well. I can count the amount of times the child sim walks in on her brother in the bathroom getting freaky. It's awkward for everyone involved even the player. Thing is I think the room IS flagged for like, sex activity, so why not make sims avoid it altogether. No one wants to have awkward encounters with their families or strangers.

What should the next dlc be?
>>487834264should be innocuous but its actually a dlc full of screamers and jump scares
>>487786849It's so strange because as far as I understand, WickedWhims should account for sims already being in the room and score it lower for autonomy, but in this case the girls were obviously in the room and yet it didn't matter at all.I guess it's better than the behavior I saw at Sulani where I had more than a few sims bone outside on the little deck thing or upstairs in the main room. The deck technically would be fine from a sims running into it perspective, but it just breaks my immersion since it's outdoors with no cover facing the ocean.
>>487834264the sims......in SPAAAAACE
I like that the elderly couple I've made is still up and about, living life in the background here.
>>487834264probably something licensed IP
>>487818438It's kind of funny how they were showing off their cool gender-neutral terminology in the stream while at the same time that same dropdown list still had sister and other obviously gendered terms. Why not fix those too? This is my sibling Jane, and that's my parent Donovan, and Jim Bob over there is my parent's sibling and Billy here is my parent's sibling's offspring. Sounds about right, ship it.
>>487839383please understand, maxis is a small indie dev team, in ther terms of small indie dev they only lose to Gamefreak
>>487839683All they had to do was the ability to choose between gendered and non-gendered terms and nobody would've complained, but that would've been more work than a simple text string replacement so now we have this idiocy where girlfriend is a no-no word but sister is fine. It's fascinating, really.
