Mr. Humble does indeed occasionally jump the gun and tries to show up before sims have a chance to rent an apartment. I've had testing cheats enabled by default for so long that I'm not certain what the game tries to do with him when he throws the resulting error. For me, I have to hit delete or else it just keeps popping up. Fortunately, this doesn't seem to affect much, other than he might not show up again later to drop off his gift. Usually, immediately exiting and re-entering will allow him to trigger properly once my sim has rented a place.

I use Pescado's mod that bans humble and makes his computer buyable from the catalog. If I actually want Mr. Humble in my game, I have an extracted copy of him in my Downloads folder so I can make him playable.

You doooooooo? Do you remember where you got it?

I also have him as a Sims2pack.

Aegagropilon extracted him. There's a box.com link in this post. (It still works - I made sure. )

I cloned him in a test hood using http://modthesims.info/d/284572 and then rinsed him through BodyShop.

I discovered that the version of Shaklin's vampire mod which was upgraded by Sims-influence and Midgethetree is the basic version which only affects vampires. Shaklin made another version of that mod which includes a vampire hunter's kit (stakes and holy water). Holy water cures the vampire and turns it human again. Staking the vampire kills it and turns it into a pile of ashes.

The "vampire hunter" version of the mod is old and was never updated to be compatible with creaturefixes. See my post for more details and a .rar file to download.

Midgethetree fixed it already!

Over at PBK, Mortia made a medieval DR for the bowling alley!


Right Up Your Alley: A Bowling Alley DR

It's not mod or cc, but its related to sims and I love it.
All sims (1-4) tv commercials
I lol'd at sims 1 ones

lol! I fell on that very video yesterday night...pretty funny indeed, but not much Sims 2 commercials.

Sure you guys already seen it but my jaw did drop! I LOVE IT :lovestruc

Found a cool athletic set by WeBluePeace: http://webluepeace.tumblr.com/post/...back-to-the-gym

Darkest Dawn shared 2 amazing sets of walls on tumblr: Paints | Shiplap

K, so today I loaded the game up to finally play after a long work week and of course after about 10 minutes in I minimized it to go look for some cc! (I wanted to know if anyone recolored the alley deco, and turns out, someone did: Maxis neighborhood decorative alleys on Criquette’s tiles by plumbbobtoggle.) I then spend the next, oh, eight hours downloading. And I just know I'm not going to use 80% of it. Anyone else download a ton of stuff to use for building & lot decorating, only to decide later to build with as little cc as possible? Just me, then? Ok. Anyway, here's some of what else I found:

Some beds, including a cool modern bunk bed, by beautifulnerdkitty
Retailsims Cardboard Cat Bed recolored in Simlish by moocha-muses
loads of laundry clutter by marioneves2
some clutter including an animated freezer bunny snow globe by limonaire

But I also learned two things from my downloading binge today! First, there's browser extensions to get around adfly and other sites that make you disable your adblocker. Who knew? I started using AdSkipper for chrome and it works like a charm against adfly! Which is great because I found https://lindasims2.wixsite.com/lindasims2, which had a lot of cool clothes I wanted to try (especially for guys), but it's adfly heavy. I'll have to see if it works for TSR, too.

And then I randomly came across a post from Honeywell, who said that, when in neighborhood decorations mode, you can delete a large bunch of deco simply by holding down the escape key while mousing over the area! Which I didn't know and it's totally useful for when you create a new hood and the game sticks a bunch a trees where you don't want. So thanks @Honeywell!

Finally, I may be dreaming, but I coulda sworn there was someone who was looking for a larger outings mod. But idk when I saw that ask; it may have been eons ago. In any case, turns out dreadpirate made one that increases the number of sims in an outing group from 8 to 20.

Now I'm finally done downloading for the day! Time to eat dinner and then maybe me and my 17.5 GB download folder will finally manage to build something today, lol.

Hope I'm allowed to share this!

MaksPlayground linked me this video on Instagram. I think it's awesome and I love it!

An Uberhood City!
Video and the lovely Simmer is in Polish, but you get the idea.
Read their description for more details and stuff.

Logged in for the first time in months to catch up and play for a few hours. An hour and a half has gone by, and all I did was download more mods

I regret nothing.

I can't figure out how to link to the post as I'm on my mobile, but Limonaire over on Tumblr converted the Strangerville desert plants from TS4 to TS2. And they've just said that they're going to try to make 'hood deco versions as well! :-)

I have that problem all the time! Here it is: https://limonaire.tumblr.com/post/1...olycount-readme. I know can can always use more desert plants.

I was hunting for exotic specimens in a distant neighborhood from my own and found some delightfully alien flora from a place far away, probably not even emanating from SimEarth.

4t2 conversions by SimInsania. Get to work alien flora. https://simsinsania.tumblr.com/post...you-so-much-for
EDIT1: upon another exploration of the hood, I located a more direct route between the grove where I found the flora and my base camp. Route updated accordingly.

I do believe that these are possibly juvenile forms and that there might be larger adult forms somewhere further in the neighborhood.

There is a hood deco conversion of these plants but I was unable to relocate it on subsequent expeditions through the interweb.

I've found t1t2 conversion databse and I already spent like half an hour downloading all the stuff I liked :D

As suspected there are indeed larger forms of the alien plants I found, of notable characteristics are the increased size but the fact they are identical to their smaller counterparts. This makes some sense given the possible differences between SimEarth and the likely extraterrestrial home-world of these behemoths, perhaps they even originate from another dimension altogether. I will extract these also for conservation purposes. If only I could locate the Lunar Lake flora that I have so long searched in vain for. Perhaps on my next expedition to the outer reaches of SimEarth. I hope this research and specimens recovered delight at least one other individual.

hexagonal-bipyramid made the traits system from TS3 work for TS2!! They're objects that are in sims' inventories! she's still in the process of making all the traits functionable (she's done 20 traits so far)

Speaking of traits, Meduza has made some traits and a mod to make pixels into fantasy style creatures:
