Also Glad To Hear That @amberdefault @fakebloood And @suratan-zir Are Also Back, This Shouldn’t Have

Milestone!

We've met and passed the quarter mark! Simon is off doing cat things, and blissfully unaware of his condition or, more importantly, the ride in the dreaded carrier that is in his future. (He is a fierce boy when it comes to facing the vet.) I will be relieved, though, to actually get a diagnosis and a suggested treatment. Everyone who has shared this GoFundMe or donated even a little has had a big part in making this happen. We still have a ways to go, though. Thank you all!

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

Mutha Fuckin' SOPA Is Back! (Aug. 23, 2013)

The Obama administration announced that it will be bringing back a piece of SOPA legislation that would make streaming copyrighted material a felony.

Can you believe this shit? When we finally get one off our backs, they try and bring up another bill AGAIN. We already said no to the first one, so why do they think that this is any better?

For those of you who don’t know what SOPA is, it was a bill back in 2011 that the govn’t tried to pass that said that posting any copyrighted music or even COVERS of said music would be considered a felony. A. FELONY.

Sign the petition below, and let’s keep our internet the way we like it.

Threaded History of Yore - TS1 to TS2 Tapestries

So, for a while now I’ve been doing some re-meshes for FreeSO and Simitone, and I’ve always had planned to convert some of these for at least Sims 2.

Well, these are the first two of said remeshes The “Black Tree Tapestry” and the “"Eruption of Decadence" Tapestry“ are now both oficially converted to Sims 2, for your castle decor needs.

Details:

-Both cost in game §8100 Simoleons and Add +9 to Environment;

- Names and Descriptions are lifted directly from The Sims;

- They are recolor enabled (although with only one subset);

Feel Free to do whatever with these, just don’t put them behind a paywall of any kind and claim as yours.

So for something almost completely different

I've been working on this since the whole situation from February, but I have a Neocities Page Now! This is where I'll be uploading most of my CC that isn't Historical, Medieval or Fantasy related, so far, I've reuploaded most of the stuff that is already on my simblr, but I do have plans to reupload the stuff that was in my defunct livejournal and other places. It's still very much a work in progress, and i'll still be posting updates here for convenience, but feel free to follow me if you have a neocities page, and if you use and RSS Feed Reader, I did finish setting my RSS Feed.

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!!

Oh, I have that, got it from a second hand game store for like 50 cents, my copy came also bundled with another tool called style factory that is for custom hair meshes. I've used both very briefly, it was a weird tool kinda yeah. My copy doesn't have like a manual, so i don't know if it ever did have one Other than that it seems the copyright is by some company called GedonSoft GmbH.

'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.

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.
