What's That "Merge" Button For?

Honestly, I’ve been thinking about that possibility for a while now, and it would be awesome if I could figure out doing something like that, but I don’t really know how to do that.

The Coffeesmith Project - Mod Blend º1 - Barista Plus

Hey long time no see, how is everyone doing! So this was something that was on the works for a while before It evolved into it’s own mega project, So for those that don’t know, I’m a bit of a coffee appreciator, and I like to have options for my simmies, so it became a separate project of its own. Mod Blends are just that - Mods that enhance the experience of having some of these objects within your game, as I’m about to show you, right now this is the only Mod Blend, but depending of how much I start to mess with things, others will come in the future. So, what does Barista Plus do?

Well, why don’t I show you.

this is a version of the Game without Barista Plus

this on the other hand, is a version of the game with Barista Plus In a nutshell, it allows for custom espresso bars to spawn their own Baristas in unowned community lots!!!! It has been something that has been bugging me since I found out that custom Espresso Bars didn’t have this functionality. But why didn’t they work, you might ask. Short Version: EAxis’s Spaghetti Code at it again. Long Version: It’s not that they didn’t work, they clone just fine, however, the Barista NPC Template has this unique BHAV called “Get My Stand”, basically this BHAV is the one that does the detection for the espresso bar, and io and behold, it only detects one GUID from the Uni Espresso Bar, nothing else, hence why none other custom espresso bar couldn’t spawn a Barista.

So what this does is expand the number of GUID’s the BHAV can detect, which allows for them to fully function in an unowned community lot. Right now, it detects: -Around the Sims 2′s Tea Shop Cart -Vitasims’s Victorian Tea Espresso Cart -linegud’s Elegant Espresso -All Espresso Bars I’m about to release. “But wait!” you might ask “are there any Free GUIDs I can use that are natively compatible with Barista Plus” Of course there are, I saved some from my GUID book specifically for this: 0x0093BBF0- 0x0093BBF1- 0x0093BBF2- 0x0093BBF3- 0x0093BBF4- 0x0093BBF5- 0x0093BBF6- Feel free to use any of them, but please do give me a heads up when you use them, I don’t want people taking GUID and accidentally making objects conflict. How to use them: Make it the GUID for the 0,0 Object Data, that’s it, that’s as simple as that. If you know of any other espresso bars on the wild or if you have your own already on the works with GUIDs and anything, please do tell and I’ll update the mod accordingly. And without further ado: Download Hope you enjoy it!

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

If you're having issues with your box redirects, use this, Thank you for this, honestly!

Hi packrat, I’m looking to download the animal skeleton from vampirekiss6661 over at medivalsims (http://www.medievalsims.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=33454#p33454) but (for me?) the download doesn’t even open (https://app.box.com/shared_item/https%3A%2F%2Fwww.box.com%2Fs%2F03b64dce4ab45fca3a5a) is there any way you have them or I’m just not handy enough to find out how to download?

Hank you! ✨

Hello Fruitvillevillage! :-D I'm not sure why box has (once again) trouble re-directing links, hopefully it's a temporary issue. Anyhow, I made a quick redirect (download here, and you need this addon: chrome / firefox) which seems to work as it should? I've tested the links on the page you sent and the next page, and they all re-direct correctly but do let me know if I messed up somewhere :-) for those of you who don't want to install the redirector, here is how I solved it:

Example url:

https://app.box.com/shared_item/https%3A%2F%2Fwww.box.com%2Fs%2F03b64dce4ab45fca3a5a

Delete everything after .com/ and write /s/, like this:

https://app.box.com/s/

and then, copy the numbers/text after "F", in this case these:

https://app.box.com/shared_item/https%3A%2F%2Fwww.box.com%2Fs%2F03b64dce4ab45fca3a5a

and then you should have a working link, like this:

https://app.box.com/s/03b64dce4ab45fca3a5a

and that's it!

ATS3 Update | Ilona’s Kitchen Accessories

Finally the last part of the Ikea kitchen, with accessories, and tiny pieces of furniture, like kitchen cart or step tool (both usable at surfaces). Next time, I’ll probably make the bathroom. And then… well, it might depend on how you’re fed up or not with that theme! ;D

Update of the Eco-Café Counter

Silly me had tested that counter with the only sink that caused no problem with, but with any other sinks, ugly pieces of the counter showed up. It’s now fixed. I’m sorry about that!

You can redownload directly the counter from here.

I hope you’ll enjoy! :)

This is a great idea, I love it!

I know that people who follow me probably don't care for a medieval playstyle, or are maybe too scared by how daunting the task of gathering all the CC is.

Well regardless, I'm creating a carrd that provides links to many defaults so that it would be easier to find and download default clothing, functional items, food, jobs, and other things !

Given the vast amount of defaults available, I'm open to allowing people to join the carrd and help to make finding medieval CC a whole lot easier.

If you want to join, DM me. You will need to make a free account on the carrd website, use an email that you do not mind sharing with me ! You may also need to join Plumb Bob Keep.

Sims 2 Medieval Defaults

Sims 2 Medieval Defaults

A site dedicated to easy-to-find defaults for the historical simmer.

The carrd is a work in progress, and I'm currently focusing on clothing defaults. Starting with Adult Female. I hope that this will be useful to someone in the future !

My Humble Gift for the Game's 20th Anniversary

A llama laval lamp! It is found under Lighting/Table Lamps for 100$, and casts a cool white light. The animated textures loop smoothly in game. I just couldn't fit the whole cycle in a gif. The llama started its existence as a mesh from TS3's Midnight Hollow set, converted here by Veranka. Also: wew, slave subsets are even more of a pain in the ass on lamps. Enjoy being able to recolour the goo, glass and glow pattern, because I spent a while finicking with them. -> Download at SimFileShare

PSA Regarding Hateful Anons

Tumblr recently made it a requirement for you to be logged in to send asks anonymously. If you receive a hateful ask, don’t publish it - report it to Tumblr. It can be traced back to the user that sent it and with enough reports that person’s account will be suspended.

Share to raise awareness but also to make the clowns who think this behaviour is acceptable think twice before acting brave behind the guise of invisibility.

You can’t break that which isn’t yours…
