Hi TS2 community, I am very interested in learning more about the way pink flashing happens or doesn't happen in different people's games. I have put together this kinda fairly detailed survey as a Google Form that hopefully can shed more light on the issue.
If you are familiar with your computer and graphics settings, you can easily finish the survey in about 5 minutes. If you need to look a few things up, it could take 10-15.
If you had flashing with some settings and resolved it, please consider filling out the form twice - once describing your experience before you fixed it and again for after. If not, please just use your post-fix experience.
Please, please reblog as data is only as good as the breadth of its sample. A summary of the results are viewable to all upon completion of the survey and I am happy to share more detailed findings with the modding community, just let me know.
Yeah, these kinds of scams aren't new, attackers will pretend to have reported your account and then direct you to another scammer account to pull your info like this. That to say, please be careful with the kinds of DMs you receive, if it has anything to do with your discord account, check the official sources like the discord main support channels (as much help that may be) , not some random account pretending to be the real deal Also as several people pointed out already, most likely, the original account that targeted yours was also compromised before in a similar attack. and most importantly, remember, be careful, just because you think you can't be caught in one of these, doesn't mean you are completely immune to being scammed.
Hi guys!! just to want you guys know. my discord account (@fwaldorf) has been hacked/compromised. i was a victim of fraud by a user here in the community. under the nickname of BlakeIsHere he was on LazyDuchess discord server and i previously talked to him before in 2022 i think, and we talked about sims and strangetown. đI don´t have access to my profile anymore so i can´t show you guys screenshots of the conversation and i didn´t take any since i never thought it would end up in this.
If you can help me with reblogs i´ll be grateful!
He contacted me because he made a "report" thinking i was a scammer since the person who talked to him has a similar photo i had, he told me that i needed to contact austin.elo0305 to make the appeal to my account. You guys probably think i was stupid i really was tbh, i h8 myself because of it but i gave that austin dude access to my profile since i thought he was a official discord member. Then, he threatened me if i don´t pay him for a security key on G2A my bank information will be compromised and i will end up in prision and blockment since i didn´t pay. That scared me, tbh. I pay it. Then, he asked for more and obviously i didn´t pay. He sent my personal bank information and they tried to charge the card but i didn´t had anything there thank god i censored my personal information, ofc
Please, if someone can help me to report to both accounts, BlakeIsHere and the austin.elo0305 i´ll be completely grateful. He is asking for more money for access to my old account đ
It´s very fucked up that a member of this community made this kind of thing. But okay, people on internet can be this harmful. Please, keep in mind that any member of Discord will not try to change your login information and take care!
I already made the report to my bank and they told me that i needed to contact the page i made the purchase and i´m waiting for a response. I hope i can have my money back. But please, take care. Don´t trust anyone online. I was stupid and i thought this was real, idk why but these things happen.
the conversation ended with this đ
Happy 20th anniversary to The Sims 2! I absolutely love The Sims 2 and how this game was treated. Every platform for it provides different, unique gameplay and lore. Out of all the PC versions, this is the one I tend to gravitate towards. There's just something about it. So here's a gift to celebrate it! This gift consists of 9 conversions (+ an extra of the Torchemada Wall Torch to include a flipped version) from The Sims console and The Sims Bustin' Out. This was heavily inspired by the master bedroom at the Goth Manor location, also in spirit of Halloween coming up! Please let me know if thereâs any issues!
The Sims console and The Sims Bustin' Out collection file for The Sims 2 can be found on my collection files page:Â Found Here

Like, we've been through the great TSR paywall wars of the late 2000s, we won, like, you're definitively not getting the majority of the player base. It's probably gonna get the newer players, those who do come from 4 or other games and those do have their own mod monetization issues, but you can find plenty of stuff for free, heck even better conversions of paid stuff, you just gotta look around
do paywallers in ts2 community realise that nobody in their right mind is actually going to pay for cc. the minute i open your download link and iâm directed to your boosty or patreon with a big fat UNLOCK NOW button iâve closed the tab and forgotten all about your existence

More of these... oh well, guess it doesn't hurt
- My First Sims Experience was with the PS2 Version of the Sims 2, it had tons of awesome stuff, but the sims...weren't as awesome
- I like to read... well, when i was younger i read a lot, now it's just casualy.
- I'll kill myself to do something i like, on the other hand, when something i do bores me, i barely do something.
- I'm trying to grow sideburns, mutton chop type, yet my facial hair hasn't showed up fully.
- Sometimes i can get a bit nervous around a crowd of unknown or unfamilliar people, but that nerveousness i can disguise easily.
Ok, these are done.
A while ago I started using @episims' wonderful towel lite mod that makes our Sims put on a towel or a bathrobe after they shower or bathe. It adds a delightful touch of realism that is really fun. But as much as I enjoy taking my rich lady from her fancy bathroom to her walk in closet in a towel, sometimes I don't want to send my Sim past their bedroom to get dressed. When I shower I usually get dressed in the bathroom, putting on clothes I hung by the towels before getting in the shower. I thought, why can't my Sims do the same? With a little imagination, I re-purposed the actions of the Seasons coat rack to add clothes-changing animations to the towel racks that most of my Sims already have in their bathrooms, so that I can pretend they too put out their clothes on the towel rack before getting in. I wasn't sure if it was worth uploading but you guys loved the idea so here we go! :)
I only added everyday, formal and pyjamas because those are the three I thought it likely I would ever want. Shower during the day? Everyday clothes please! Girlies got ready for a night out? Get glam with your formal wear! A shower before bed? You'll want your pyjamas. The other categories seem unlikely, but I am open to updating it if there's a persuasive reason :)
As you can see in the video Sims are pretty decent about using the towel racks, even if they are on a wall behind stuff. I haven't altered the actual code to navigate to it, it uses the same slot as viewing the deco object did previously, which in my test has worked well. In the end I had to use different animations for children because the coat rack uses a step stool which needs a slot that the deco objects do not have and I could not figure out adding one. It was either different animations or floating in the air, so different animations it is :)
I've edited three of the Maxis towel racks. "Towel on a Metal Rod", "Towel on a Wooden Rod" and "Towel Hanger Plus Plus". I'm also sharing one edited CC towel rack by Simply Styling, which I discovered through @gayars recolors found on her website here.

If any creators would like to add these edits to their own towel racks, please feel free to do so. To make it easier on you, or any simmer that simply wants to update things they downloaded, I prepared a download package with the resources you need and some basic instructions. It's not step by step, it assumes you are familiar with edits. Should anyone want or need more detailed instructions, I am happy to help when I can :)
Conflicts: The maxis towel rack add on are global plug in for those objects, which means there is a potential for conflicts. HCDU+ will find any conflicts, but I doubt there are any. Indirect conflicts may also occur if you have mods that add additional interactions to deco objects, they would not show on the towel racks because I have overridden their usual pie menu.
Credits: whoward69 at @picknmixsims who taught me how to edit event trees in animations, @episims for the towel lite mod that inspired this, @gayars who taught me how to repurpose animations between objects and for introducing me to the jope towel, and all you lovely people that encouraged me to post this with your enthusiasm <3
Hey, @staff, what gives?! This blog was very important to the comunity, would you kindly restore it?
Thank you for incorporating my translation! I'm glad to be of help!
Rabbit pen - a default replacement (yet another collab with @episimsâ â¤)
Put your hand up if you ever used this toy dog pen! đââď¸ No one? Yeah, thought so XD
Originally I wanted to make this a custom pen, but then we decided that the toy dog pen wouldnât be missed, so we made a default! And also, because the animations needed to be edited, and it was easier this way! (weâre not going to create a custom verison)
The bunny comes from sims 4 (many thanks to @tvickiesimsâ for extracting it!), but it got adjusted to the pen. It has all the original 8 color variations (4 as defaults, and 4 recolors)! The animations are not accurate (thatâs not how bunnies move!), and thereâs also some clipping as well, but that was the best we could do. The weirdest animations got removed though, so the bunnies donât bark at least. The sounds also got removed, bunbun is a silent creature!
The bunny has its own pet treat, and its own food box texture. The pen also got a little facelift, featuring some hay, a chewing stick, and a wooden bunny house! (that they never use, but whatever, itâs part of the ~aesthetic~) Despite this, all the existing recolors should work fine with this default!
The toy dog-related wants (and fears) also got adjusted, so now sims roll wants and fears about the bunnies instead of the dogs! Important! The Wants file in the download shouldnât be renamed, because itâll stop working!
The description and interaction texts were changed and got translated to Finnish and Hungarian as well. If you wish to provide a translation to other languages, please contact Epi!
Update 08/12/22: Polish translation by @jellymeduzaâ added!
Update 08/17/22: More translations added! Russian by @summer-choi-simblrâ, French by @tvickiesimsâ, and Brazilian Portuguese by @itsyunaâ! Thank you all!
Update 08/18/22: Even more translations added, woo! Spanish by @nevernerdenough, and Swedish by @namelessperson98! Thank you so much!
Update 11/11/22 (cool date lol): Text got replaced in the buy a toy dog want (only the Wants file changed). Please tell us if it doesnât work, we couldnât test it properly!
Update 12/14/23: Portuguese translation by @logansimmingwolverineâ added! Thank you so much!
Mesh, texture, and font credits go to Eaxis, Freepik, Julsfels, Veranka, Eddysims, Franzillasims
Oh and itâs advisable to delete your thumbnails to see the changes in the pet selection window!
Have fun, and tell us if you find any problems! đ
