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.

Quick(ish) announcement

We've noticed some confusion about what @simblreenofficial is, and how it works.

First of all, we're here to manage and clarify doubts about this event. We make a guide, we give out dates, we answer asks and we reblog content made for Simblreen. This is to help newcomers to simblr, or simblrs who didn't participate in past years. When they see people mention Simblreen but don`t understand what it is or how it works, our blog is here as a reference that everyone can point to.

Simblreen was an event born out of simblrs wanting to do something fun for Halloween as well as share what they made with others. We are not the end all be all of events surrounding Halloween in the simblr community. There are CAS challenges, edit challenges. We know some people have their own events in discord, and facebook, etc. This doesn't concern us, just like events made around Christmas don't concern us.

Multiple people manage this account, and you are free to reach out to them on their personal accounts for personal opinions (doesn't mean we will answer on our personal accounts either, but you know...). But please do not tag or involve @simblreenofficial. We're here only as a guide for Simblreen.

We've also seen people being worried of doing things during Simblreen they may not be allowed to.

Let's make things clear here: We only ask for the gifts to be given for free, as in not paywalled. This is the only things we do not budge on. When you participate, how you give out your gifts, what kind of gifts you have, what sims games your gifts are for, etc., are up to you. And if you do not have gifts, that's okay too! You can trick or treat, you can do CAS challenges or edits, do spooky stories, or you can simply not participate at all!

We are not here to police how you participate in Simblreen. We are here to help and give advice when asked for it and uplift anyone making content for Simblreen.

Our goal is for anyone who wishes to participate in Simblreen to have as much fun as possible, and to go about it as stress-free as possible.

TL:DR we just want you to be happy around Halloween! 🎃

Around the Sims 2 | IKEA-like seatings & Simlish menus

Time for a Sims 2 update, answering some requests. :)

1) IKEA-like seatings: conversion of the seatings I meshed for the Sims 3. More Ikea items should follow if you’re still interested in my Sims 2 downloads.

2) Simlish menus & recolors.

I ought to start rebloging stuff I might need later rather than just like... like I think my likes tab is a mess

Permanent Quarter-Tile Placement On!

Just wanted to share a tip I know about how to make the Quarter Tile Placement Cheat on all the time so you just have to press Ctrl + F when you want to use it without having to type in a cheat each time.

Many of you may know that adding “setquartertileplacement on” to your userStartup.cheat doesn’t work, so I’m going to tell you where you can put it that does work, in case you didn’t already know!

So, head to Origin Games\The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection\Fun with Pets\SP9\TSData\Res\Config and open up the file called “globalProps.xml” with a text editor, I recommend Notepad++. You should probably make a backup of this file first before making any changes, just in case.

In this file, scroll to the bottom and you should see a line that says:

<AnyBoolean key=“quarterTilePlacementEnabled” type=“0xcba908e1”>false</AnyBoolean>

Simply change the false to true and save the file and that’s it! The Quarter Tile Placement cheat will always be on without you having to type it in ever again! Simply toggle it on and off with Ctrl + F!

Hope that helps at least someone! I was telling my friend @morepopcorn​ about this trick and I couldn’t find the website where I initially read about how to do this anymore so she suggested I should make this post as it might not be common knowledge.

Well Right now there are two things, Finish CC I start making and Finish Sorting my Catalog, the Latter is going better than the former, and I am in College, so I kinda get busy with that (Really Depends of the Days), also my motivation to finish the thing helps, and If I don’t forget to do the thing.

What is a TS2 CC chore you’re putting off getting done?

I’ll go first: renaming all of the poses for the millions of poseboxes I have.

The last time I opened my Asks I noticed that there were a bunch of "look alike" (written in a similar way) anon requests. Maybe someone is using the anonymous option to avoid my policy and request more objects at a time. To prevent this issue I'm going to open the requests only for the ones with a tumblr account, hope you understand ;)

Happy 20th Birthday, The Sims 2! may we keep having fun for years to come!!

Happy 18th Birthday to the best game in the franchise! You're legal now, The Sims 2!

Please reblog if you do not use an HQ Mod

Sunni's Default's Remastered - "Private School and University"

This is a remaster and rework of Medieval NPC Replacements: Private School & University by Sunni, mostly to make use of more modern techniques of default replacement, I made sure that these defaults only applied to a specific outfit and not the whole set (as you can see for the female tweed jacket, that the only color I replaced only affects female teachers, the rest remain unchanged, so other defaults can be used on their place, or the private school uniforms), with some exceptions that I will cover.

The link above should cover most of the previews of the set, so I'm not going to show all defaults, but I will add that I did some changes specifically to the Coach, Llama mascot and Cheerleader, Adding one new color to complement the original color scheme the original outfits had going on:

The .RAR contains up to 30 defaults that cover everything the original set had, with 3 exceptions, the diploma default, that i decided to leave out since this is only meant to cover CAS outfits and hairs, and the ballcap hat defaults, since those were meant to be more like hat hiders, and force one specific hair mesh, I'd rather use something like @kitteninthewindow No Fixed Hairs For Various Careers & NPCs than specify one hairstyle for each hat that might not be someone's cup of tea.

And without further ado, you can download the newly updated defaults here: Download

So, I went the extra mile to turn my disc into an ISO and uploaded the contents of it to the Internet Archive... I did that at least a month ago, but I only remembered to upload it yesterday Like I said in the description, the installers are in Portuguese, but that's about it, the programs got barely any language, so If you want to try at least Fashion Factory, you can give it a go https://archive.org/details/fashion-styling-factory

'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:
