Thank you!!! 🙂

You can find the recolor right HERE. 🙂 Enjoy!

We need more cafes with Mr Bearly Butts chairs tbh.

I agree! They don’t fit the general theme of this particular cafe, but I have a feeling they’ll stay there for awhile anyway ~~mostly because of my unending laziness~~. 🙂

Okay, now this is very general, but how do you usually find new custom content? There’s so much CC out there and most of it is pretty amazing, too, but Simblrs aside, I can never quite figure where to get really nice things. I hope you can at least help me out a little here. ^^;

Hey! This is actually a really good question. Ever since Trapping stopped updating @trappingcrushes, I don’t really have a go-to place for updates. D: A lot of forums and places like MTS are less active than they once were, at least for TS2 updates. Most people nowadays seem to share content via tumblr, so that’s where I get most of my new cc from. I follow a couple of cc finds blogs (like @freezerbunny-cc-finds) and I pop into GoS from time to time, but other than that I just wait for some new content to pop up on my dash. ^^;

I’m also in the process of trying to curb/cull my downloads folder, so I don’t actively seek out cc the way I used to (unless I have something specific in mind I need to find). So I more or less just wait for cc to come to me. XD I’m sorry I couldn’t be of more help!

wow, what do you do to get your water to look like that? is it the pond water mod by niol listed in your resources or something else (because it looks kind of different on MTS)?

It is indeed the pond water mod! In the original post, the creator says they don’t have reflective water turned on in their game because they have a lower-end video card. I have that option turned on, which allows the water in my game to reflect the surroundings. Vimpse made a nice tutorial explaining how to use the mod!

WCIF the baby cribs where your quads sleep in?:)

The crib can be found HERE. Again, the inside takes its textures from whatever bedding you have in your game. I’m pretty sure the ones I used are by @alienpod HERE. 🙂

WCIF grahams nursery crib?

The crib can be found HERE. The interior part takes its textures from bedding you have installed. I don’t recall the exact one I used, but there’s a good chance it’s a bedding recolor by @alienpod HERE.

Where is that manbun from?

Right here!

WCIF that floor/terrain paint in the picture of Sheila crying (I mean the stones with the grass growing between them)? Also, your game is so beautiful, I’d like to live in it.

Awww, thank you! I’ll build you a house and you can move right in. 😀 (I can’t guarantee the floor plan will make sense, though… ^^;)

It is indeed a terrain paint that you can grab HERE!

You are my favorite simblr 💞😊

AHHHHHH wait really?! :’D You made my night, anon friend! LET ME LOVE YOU~ ❤

Semi realistic or maxis match? Which do you prefer and why?

Maxis-match here! Especially for the Sims themselves. 🙂 A huge part of the attraction to TS2 for me is the gameplay itself, and I feel like the Sims’ expressions and animations translate better with Maxis-match cc as opposed to realistic. However, I love seeing people use realistic cc in photoshoots – sometimes I have trouble telling if it’s a Sim or a real person!

As for buy/build stuff, I’ve been trying to keep to mostly Maxis-match content, but I make some exceptions. :3 Some of my lots have a lot of cc to make them look more realistic or lived-in, but I’m trying to keep to cleaner/simpler textures to make my game more cohesive and Maxis-matchy overall. 🙂

I feel like there’s a lot of work that goes into making a realistic neighborhood. The vanilla game is pretty cartoony, and it can be a bit jarring to have realistic Sims walking around in a bright or cartoony neighborhood. (That’s how I used to play. :P) If you have the dedication to download the right build/buy content or install terrain/road replacements and mods, etc., to make a realistic hood, I’m sure the payoff is tremendous. For me, it’s all about creating a completely immersive experience, and I definitely don’t have the dedication or discipline to create a realistic/themed hood. (One of the many reasons why my medieval hood remains a pipe dream… *heavy sigh*)

Those are just some of the (more technical) reasons. There’s also the fact that the Maxis-match style just really appeals to me. 😛 I love bright colors and clean lines. And since I went Maxis-match, my downloads folder has been more under control (if you can believe that 14+GB is under control…you should’ve seen it when I had every hairstyle in all of Pooklet’s colors D:).

I hope that sheds some light on it! :3
