Sims 2 - Blog Posts
finishing the spam with random pictures of my game in undonia. don't worry pathologic lovers, i'll be back to building soon enough. i needed some silliness from my comfort hood. (featuring two sims by @marvelann on pictures 5 and 9)
the art of hitting the pause button
the lesbian energy is strong with this one
here's a less complex build for once : The Bad Grief's Nest. i took a loooot of liberty with this one, so hardcore Pathologic fans may not really like it. oh well i wanted a little more colors than the original one. the sims who are gonna live there will sell illegal magical artefacts as well as prophesy futur and all (hence the crystal ball).
there's two little buildings surrounding the Nest. the one on the left is a bedroom, the second is empty at the moment, but it'll be where the sims will build the artefacts. again even if it is a departure from the original, i hope you'll still enjoy it.
TS2 Program - Duplicate File Finder (Working)
So here’s A WORKING Duplicate File Finder that doesn’t require payments or anything, Its easy AND IT WORKS. It's a MUST-have program! It can really save your game!
DOWNLOAD LINK.
Tutorial:

2) Click the "Add Path" button.
3) Then Find your Downloads Folder (or any folder you want to check if it has double files)
Following this path: This PC>Documents>EA Games>The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection>Downloads
Select it and Click the OK Button.
4) Select the "START SEARCH" Button.
5) Wait Until the program finds the double files. (It won't take long)
6) When the "Report" window pops, click the OK button.
For better viewing, maximize the program.

Select each of one and click the "Delete Files" Button.
9) A window will pop asking you if you are sure to delete the selecting files.
Check the "Send to Recycle Bin" (to be safe) and Click the Yes Button.
10) Done. That's it!
i think that mary-sue tends to take a lot of shit and that it's sometimes unfair. not that she's a perfect character by any means, (the difference of treatment between angela and lilith is not acceptable), but she's an adoptive child.
and as so, even within a loving family it can be difficult to not always try to achieve perfection in the fear that you're not enough and that you might be abandonned again. she's a successful woman in her field of career, who gets CHEATED by her husband, but somehow she's the bad guy, and the one always depicted like a shrew, angry selfish mother, while daniel is the cool dad. you know as if he didn't have a part in the difference of treatment between his children.
that's why the video of juno birch turning her into a witch and burning shit to the ground is one of the most hilarious and satisfying thing of all time to me hahaha
post your ACTUAL unpopular Sims opinion. (and no, saying FaceApp. and alpha cc is weird/ugly doesn’t count)
Mine: Sims 2 Premades are way overrated especially the Stragetown ones.
there you go yes you can get married in the creepiest cathedral ever next to a spot where they hang people. isn't that nice ?
4/4 - victor's wing
in place of a creepy foetus statue there's a fat bottle with an heart in it. and there's a train room! because victor seems to me to be the kind of guy who needs a train room
and that's all folks!
3/4 - maria's wing
the biggest house. please ignore the floor lights, i wanted the purple ambiance for her room.
also a nursery in case... (and to fill space)
2/4 - georgiy's wing yes he has a little easel, and not a TV. not a TV at all
1/4 - exterior
here's the crucible by the by!
so believe it or not i had a ridiculous hard time with this one. like more than the lump. i redid the floorplans so many times. and then i had to use my imagination to fill this gigantic mansions (since in the game we see only the first floor), and i'm not used to have to furnish large rooms. but anyways i think it's kind of an acceptable result. i don't want to ever think about this lot ever again
did it hurt? when you tried to recreate the cathedral from pathologic ?
(yes.)
" why can't a heterosexual guy tell a heterosexual guy that he thinks his booty is fly?"
i did not had to remake this lot 3 times what are you talking about hahaha
here it goes!
so after a few modifications to the facade, i went and tried to be as accurate as i could to the insane floorplan of this house (the rule is : a room can never be a simple square haha).
as i want sims to be living here i took the liberty to add a kitchen and two bathrooms, as well as things for them to do apart from waiting for someone to come to their house to talk to, (like the chess board, the piano). Also a vanity and doll in capella's room, and an extra extra empty room as a future nursery 👀
now why is there the same blue tapestry on the walls everywhere? same thing in the game, when they don't know what to put on the walls of this house, they put this blue/purple curtain. it is a defensive way to say that yes i was lazy BUT it was game accurate haha.
also yeah yeah the lady on altar for the dead mother has a dark hair and victoria is supposed to be blond, but... i have more paintings with dark-haired women what can i say
👀 💅 👗
aaaaah, i'm suffering. boolprop constrainFloorElevation is such a bitch to get a hold of. anyways, continuing on the pathologic inspired neighborhood, here's The Lump. it's not furnished yet, but i wanted to share the structure because it took me so long hahaha.
so, i know i've put here and there pictures of some builds and sims (not including my creepy pathologic inspired neighborhood) and not really explaining it the name of this place is undonia. at first it began as a kind of midnight challenge, largely inspired by the one by @keoni-chan and now it's been five years and six generations. this island is much more colorful, kind of neon grunge i guess, with aliens, witches and werewolves. anyways, here is the founder's house, based on what remains of edith finch, because i liked the idea of a house growing as the family grew.
why buy an antisemitic game and put money in the pocket of a transphobic author, when you can play a bunch of gay and trans wizards on sims 2 ?
rouuuugh days are to come for me this week-end and the following week (intense work and mental health being a particulary vicious bitch this past mounth), so i came back to undonia for a sense of peace
here's fiyero, at the loup-barou, avoiding his pirate husband, his emo kid, and his responsabilities.
not me reproducing the rose garden orphanage of rule of rose based on wiki screenshots and playthroughs at 2 AM.
yes because my town is overcome by sickness, an orphanage seems logical, but there's none in pathologic. so i was like, oh why not reproduce the most traumatizing orphanage that i know of?
sorry btw i'm real shit a taking good screenshots
*cries in simlish*
well this factory sure has more living areas than factory areas laul. in the game it's supposed to be a meat packaged factory, but hey let's say that the big containers makes ground beef (as a vegetarian bitch that's how i'm gonna imagine it works.
i feel a little more justified because it's supposed to be based on the Harupex's lair, which, while being located in the factory, only show living spaces. i'm gonna put deco neighborhood surrending the area, since the factory does have multiple buildings. Or build them myself. Depends on how lazy i feel.
anyways it is a meat factory and definitely not a drug money laundering business
challenge : building a """""factory"""" when you've never been in one and you have no idea what they do and how they operate
Cemetary.
not super satisfied not gonna lie, except for the mausoleum, but hey, first ever build shared on simblr so i'm kind of proud of me, because there are so many talented folks on simblr that it can be intimidating.
there is a lot of curved trees in the original cemetary but as beautiful as the ones i'm using are, i feel they're not the right fit. also i need to download a sky that suit the ambiance i'm looking for
and yeah as the plague already started, there are cadavers not yet buried.
i wanted a change of pace of my main neighborhood Undonia (5 years of playing and 6 generations of weird sims that i love) and i played the og pathologic. i am the most awful player and just can't stay alive in this game, but i was very inspired by the ambiance and aesthetic of the game.
so i made a brand new download folder, a creepy playlist, and i'm finally beginning to build a weird russian-inspired isolated town in a dry steppe-like mountain map. i'm terrible at making realistic towns but i will try, and well i'll try to use this simblr and show my progress and characters.
also, since the game include a plague, i'll perhaps will use it to make, i don't know like a survival sickness challenge? if that exist. if not i'll take inspiration of the awesome zombie apocalypse hood by @ozneedle
so yeah, i know i have like 10 people who might see it, but i don't know, it might be funny!
