Yeah, These Kinds Of Scams Aren't New, Attackers Will Pretend To Have Reported Your Account And Then

Is it just me or is anyone else having issues with downloading box links again... the old redirector doesn't work, but like, it's doing the thing again, where it's stuck in downloading indefinetively

PSA: The Pink Flashing Experience Survey is STILL ACCEPTING RESPONSES!

If you already participated, thank you so, so much. The survey has been revised as of mid-November to add more questions and will now probably take at least 30 minutes to complete in full. It is detailed. You should not attempt to complete it on mobile away from your simming computer.

The survey is for ALL TS2 players, whether you have pink flashing in your game or not.

I now anticipate releasing the analysis report in early January 2024. For your data to meaningfully contribute to this analysis, a response deadline of December 15, 2023 is being established.

DM me if you already took the original survey, want to answer the additional (follow-up) questions, and haven't already heard from me.

PLEASE REBLOG for maximum reach, even if you already responded or reblogged my original solicitation for responses.

THANKS EVERYONE!!

Yeah, styling factory looks... peculiar to say the least, face factory is also available in the internet archive, though not fashion factory nor living factory, and I am more intrigued now about living factory, because I can't find anything about that tool other than it existed Anyone who might have owned it, do you know how that one worked?

'the sims 2 fashion factory'

was this a thing? i have no memory of it but if anyone could provide some info

the description says:

A new tool offering easy and fast creation of your own fashion collection and accessories for your Sims. Importing things into the game itself is easier than the blink of an eye. In addition, you can also design your own tattoo and know the latest trends and clothing styles.

Not Quite a 100 Followers gift...

...But i guess you should be rewarded with something, right?

Anyway, i'm glad GOS is back to normal, unfortunatly they lost a lot of downloads after they had to return to a previous backup, one of those might have been a pair of rug recolours someone requested:

Unfortunatly for Sims 3 users, this rug is for sims 2, some might ask "How about you livejournal for sims 2 stuff" Well, bodyshop and cas went quite buggy a while ago, so i haven't been playing a lot of sims 2 actually...

Anyway, here are some rug recolours for sims 2 players (The mesh is by Sandy and it's included, so thank her for her generous policy):

Facelift

Hey, this is a quick text post to say the blog got a bit of a facelift, and I do have an official downloads page now, so you don’t have to scroll through reblogs ands stuff Also though both versions of Barista plus are shown in Mods Category, the one you want is “Rebrewed”, not the first one And on another note, my Livejournal is gone, so expect more reuploads of older CC, Good Thing I had the Foresight to Back up my stuff of Simfileshare when I did

The Coffeesmith Project - Part 1 - A Cup of Joe with Friends

Welcome to the First Actual installment of the Coffeesmith project, this first part is all about (Mostly) Espresso Bars, and it is the core foundation this project was developed over:

So the options I have to offer are the Sims 3 Espresso Bar (with and without the counter) Nynaeve’s Espresso Bar that was converted by Mari, the Sims 4 Big Espresso Machine + Grinder, Fallout 4′s “The Sicilian” Espresso Machine and the Fallout 3 + New Vegas Coffee Urn, originally converted by ThatScaryChick, aside from the ones where credit was given, these were mostly converted by me, and are all working Espresso Bars (And compatible with Barista Plus *hint hint*)

The Sims 4 one comes with 7 Recolors for both the Machine and Grinder so you can mix and match

The Sims 3 Bar comes with 3 Recolor options for the Bar itself and 2 Recolor options for the machine

And the Fallout 4 one comes with two Recolor Options. Btw, the counterless ones are floating because they are based off of HugeLunatic’s Espresso Machine CEP, so please do put a counter beneath these if you don’t want a case of floating cups (but if you do, by all means go ahead). However, remember I said that mostly these were espresso bars? well, as a throw in extra, here, have some Regular espresso machines for home espresso:

Yeah, these are the same as the espresso bars, but these do require counters and don’t spawn any baristas (and the grinder is just deco), but while I was at it, it would be a shame to not make the regular home version of these.

the Nynaeve espresso and the coffee urn are slaved to the Deco Originals, which are included for convenience, the rest are slaved to the Espresso Bar versions.

At least two stations were cut from this, but it is because they are yet to be meshed, so expect 1.2 later down the line

But without further ado: Download Special Thanks: HugeLunatic for the Espresso Bar CEP and a lot of the Resource Material I checked for this, Fireflower, Frac and probably a lot of people from The Keep who gave me help and support for doing this.

Some cozy warm clothes for dudes. Using the 3t2 Fair Folk Sylvan mesh that Yuxi converted. I really like trying to see what I can 'add' or change to meshes without actually editing the mesh. So this was a fun project, I think I learned some things from it (Especially that fur @_@)

The colors ended up a little dark. And I only recolored the jacket because otherwise It'd take me an eternity to decide on color combos.

For AM, TM, and CM.

3t2 Fair Folk Sylvan by Yuxi, converted to CM by kalynn. Meshes included with thanks.

Categorized as Everyday, Formal, Outwear, and Athletic.

TM & CM take textures from the adult files.
