Here’s a modular system of lights to decorate your Sims 2 houses for the holidays - the more lights the merrier!  They’re roof deco so you’ll need an expansion pack Seasons or higher for these to work.

Floral Wallpaper Grab Bag

I made a bunch of floral wallpapers last year and these are the rejects.  Sounds enticing right? 

Some of them are perfectly lovely wallpapers, others are incredibly ugly but maybe you can use them?  They’re all made properly - they tile, have descriptions, proper file names and all of that but I just don’t feel like putting together a proper upload for these - sorry about that! 

Each of the 69 patterns comes in 8 wall types.  Hopefully you can get a pretty good idea of what’s included from the swatches.  The moldings match my Interior Wall Collection if that helps.

Stardew Valley Let’s Play - Honeydale Farm

I’m currently playing a nice, relaxing playthrough of Stardew Valley.  I’ll get back to enjoying The Sims 2 (and the CC I’m working on) when it’s finished. :)

(Here’sthe calendar I used to jot down notes and stay organized.)

3 Foundation Walls

Here’s a few walls with a shadow to give the look of a sided house on a poured foundation.  It’s cheaper to leave the foundation exposed and this is what a lot of the houses in my area look like – or as close as I could get it.

Ivy Green Victorian 5BD 3BA

I updated the Bespoke Lot Pack II with a new house if you can use another!  It’s a large house and lot (medium 3x3, under 60K) and includes starter furnishings with light landscaping. It was built with the full game.

No View Millenium - Reflective Walls & Floors

Can you tell I’m playtesting my community lots?  I don’t think anyone else uses these anymore but here’s a small edit that removes the view interaction from Murano’s reflective wall and floor overlays. 

The shader file is required but not included and is available from the bootyortsr if you need it.

Veranka’s All In One Bathroom Edits

• EP10 The All-in-One Bathroom
• EP11 Tardisian All-in-One Bathroom

I use Veranka’s Sims 3 conversions on all of my community lots.  They’re so nice and I love them except other visiting sims didn’t use them.  So I removed the test/guardian bhav that was preventing their use.  Recolors not included.

Here’s a default replacement for Paladin/Sim Wardrobe’s produce and fish packing stations.  It was quickly thrown together and it shows–there’s holes, wonky shadows & highlights and there are no indoor shadows.  But I still like it better than the original plywood for residential lots and I’m using it.

It’s slaved to the Park Parthenon arbor bench that came with Seasons and is 668 poly.  The download has all of the files needed (not just the ones I edited) and includes Sim Wardrobe’s original readmes if you’ve never had these before.

Him looking at spreadsheet: What are you doing?

Me:  Playing the Sims.

I might have gone a bit overboard setting up the taxes for Calamity Hills but as soon as Ragnar tops the politics career track our municipal building will be unlocked and taxes will start and I wanted to be ready for that!

It looks a little cumbersome but in practice it should be easy–like 30 seconds to plug in the numbers and everything is calculated for us.

Here’s our rates:

Income Taxes:  20% of weekly salary collected every Friday. No one is exempt: pets, teens and elder careers are all taxed.

Property Taxes:  10%-50% of property value (+bank balances once banks are unlocked w/ business) to be collected the last day of Season 4.  (Increases by 10% for every 100K up to 50% for 500K and up).

Deductions:  Business and vacation homes are not taxed so our richest Sims can invest in real estate (once it’s unlocked) to reduce their property taxes.

Life of Crime payments are still in effect and increasing every week so the income taxes on top of that should be an interesting challenge for some of our families.

Here’s a default replacement for the floor edge.  The texture is the “real” floor edge from the lattice decking texture. 

If you already have a default replacement floor edge I wouldn’t bother with this one but if you don’t definitely grab one–it’s a super tiny file that gives your houses a better finish.

I added a backless shower by request to the Better Bath upload thread if anyone else wants to grab it. 

Updated update:  Fixed the shadows!

I added a 2x4 sized rug to the Better Bath upload thread if anyone wants it.  Also, shower curtain recolors here if you missed them.
