Sims 2 - Blog Posts
Reblog if you're an active TS2 Simblr.
My dash is kind of empty
I was looking for some poseboxes and came across THIS very helpful post!
It catalogues the vast variety of facial expressions you can make using Custom Modeling Poses Overlay Hack V2 w/Face Overlays.
COOL RIGHT
My name is Olive Specter. I am 88 years old. My house is located in the northeast part of Strangetown, where the local cemetery is located, and I am a widow.I am now on the tenth stage of my Slacker career and I come home no later than 2 AM every day. I smoke and sometimes drink.I’m in bed by 2 AM, and make sure I get eight hours of sleep, no matter what. After having a glass of warm milk and doing about twenty minutes of stretches before going to bed, I usually fall asleep without any problems until I am fully energized(bruh) . Just like a baby, I wake up without any fatigue or stress in the morning. I was told there were no issues at my last check-up. I’m trying to explain that I’m a person who wishes to live a very quiet life. I take care not to trouble myself with any enemies, like winning and losing, that would cause me to lose sleep at night. That is how I deal with society, and I know that is what brings me happiness. Although, if I had to step over someone’s corpse to achieve my goal, I would do so.
EmptyStandbyList Download Link/Guide
The original site for EmptyStandbyList.exe seems to be dead. That's a big issue if you're trying to use the reddit guide or @thejessachannel's How To Stop Sims 2 Crashing video to clear it, which can sometimes help with crashing/pink flashing issues! Here is an archive.org link that has a working download:
I recommended the reddit guide to make sure it runs in the background & doesn't interrupt the game.
Question
I want to ask to sims 2 simblr in general for an oddly specific detail that someone might know for one reason or another. Does anyone know what is the Highest Poly count of all official EAxis hair meshes, these include not just in-game hairs, but Store, Pre-Order and Official Exchange Hair Meshes?
Help Needed - Sunken Object Mesh
Guys, I need help from object creators and meshers - I’m trying to convert this sunken fireplace from Syboulette.
My problem is that it’s a bit under the ground level but I have no idea how to deal with it. Apparently I need a mesh mask but I don’t know how to make one. I found no tutorials on this topic.
I also tried opening up the sunken base game jacuzzi but saw nothing special in that mesh, yet somehow it makes a ground cutout…
Do you have any ideas on this please? 🥺
And Now for Something Completely Different…
After coming back into contact with Stas, Sunni's widower, the plans for the Keep have changed. Disregard most of what was posted above.
We WILL be remaining open for the foreseeable future, accepting both new members and new content. The site will remain a historical- and fantasy-focused Sims 2 forum.
Going forward, the Keep will be managed by a "Regency Council" instead of just one Regent. This will consist of PBK moderators CelestialSpider, Davina Ojeda, and rugrat0ne, as well as Discord moderators Fire_flower and Sonikku3.
Fractured Moonlight will be stepping back into something of a "silent partner" role so she can focus on creating. We thank her for her years of service running the Keep all by herself, especially out of the blue. We know it was not easy.
We are already establishing better lines of communication with Stas in hopes of avoiding the annual early March panic, and reminders have been set for February fundraising.
There will be annual fundraisers on GoFundMe or similar sites to offset the cost, and to provide more transparency than we've been able to provide in the past.
Meanwhile, archiving efforts will continue until the site is fully backed up, as a failsafe. We will also periodically archive new content in the future.
Many, many thanks to those who pitched in on the archiving project, to those who donated, in this year and previous ones, and to everyone who supported and continues to support Plumb Bob Keep.
I’ve been looking for this old set for a long time now after I stumbled on a couple of individual pieces, I’m glad to see it complete and with a fresh look to it.
BlueTexasBonnie Keep It Simple Set
Thanks to all of you who sent well-wishes about COVID! We are all finally feeling better, although my cough lingers and I’m still tired a lot. This set was asked for on WishingTree @ GoS and I thought I’d post it here as well.
All of the objects not repository to the counter are repository to the bookcase. So there are really only 2 main files for the set, which has counter, island, cabinet, new deco corner counter, end table, table, desk, bookcase, fireplace, pantry/ fridge (updated to FT/AL), and garderobe/toilet (not shown). I have done a lot of work on this set- cleaning up the textures, making all the TXMTs match, quarter-tiling, new deco corner counter and making matching textures for many pieces so that the whole set has all the original BTB textures. If you’d like it, you can

Loads O’ Laundry
Requirements ● Easy Inventory Check ● Easy Lot Check ● Money Globals ● Fetch Water ● Smarter EP Check ● Time Out Controller Loads O’ Laundry is a fully incorporated laundry system akin to that of the Sims 3 and 4. It consists of a global mod and various objects for storing, washing and drying your dirty laundry and turning them into fresh outfits ready to be worn. See below the cut for details, or go directly to the documentation for the set.

The Coffeesmith Project - Mod Blend 1.5 - Barista Plus Rebrewed
Howdy, How is everyone? So, what’s this one about? Well, it works the same as Barista Plus, Except not really. This is the Proxy GUID version of Barista Plus. So a while back, a bit around the original release of Barista Plus, some people have inquired about making it better by instead of looking at a bunch of individual GUIDs, it should look for a Proxy GUID, kind of like what Argon’s Instruments does, and that has been sitting on the back of my head for a while, but It wasn’t something I was actively working on since the original release of Barista Plus. That Changed last week, when @itsdiamondeyesuniverse slid into my DMs and found some interesting information about Proxy GUID, and after a couple of hours and days with plenty of help from @midgethetree, here arrives the Rebrewed version of Barista Plus.
Edit (Because I forgot to put a quick description of what the original Barista Plus did): What the original Barista Plus (and this one too) does is that it allows Baristas to spawn in Custom Espresso Bars, what changes is how the mod does so. For specifics, the Mod looks at all objects for a specific GUID (the Fallback GUID located in the 0,0 position object) which for most of the espresso bars, that does not change at all, and it spawns the barista if the conditions are met, like I said, same deal as Barista Plus, except this one doesn’t look at only eleven GUIDs, or so, but to all instances of the same fallback GUID. Now for a bit of a warning, like I said, this GUID is going to look at *All* objects, which means it might caused some lag, that didn’t happened when I tested it, but if you have a CC Heavy Game, feel free to tell me if it does. Download Special Thanks to @itsdiamondeyesuniverse for getting me the information that helped me getting this thing started, @midgethetree for helping with the code, @crispsandkerosene and @miros1 (I hope I’m not missing anyone else) for asking if making that revision was a possibility, and Everyone at the PBK Discord for general support.
S4-S2 Robot Vacuum Default
I saw someone requesting a conversion of the Robot Vacuum as a default for the RoboCleaner, so I figured it wasn’t gonna be something complicated to do, and do that myself:
Comes in White, Black, Red and Blue, File has been Compressorized Since I’ve done this practically in a day, if something acts wierd, give me a heads up (Also a shame the bots share the same stand, could have converted the Robot Vacuum stand, also, a shame cats can’t sit on this one, maybe I can figure out how to do a custom version... we’ll see)
