So Someone Said To Me That You Can Never Meet A Good Person Off The Internet. I Want To Prove Them Wrong.

The Keep and Privacy Concerns

In light of the recent debate about AI scraping of websites for images, we at Plumb Bob Keep would like to publicly state that we, as a site, will never sell anyone's data for advertisement or AI purposes, ever. We also do not use any tracking technology at all. We are committed to our members' privacy.

Having said that, we cannot influence what our current webhost may or may not do. To our knowledge, they are not selling any of our data, but we cannot dictate to them. We are working towards moving the Keep to a new webhost, with more control over our content, but it will take time.

If you are concerned about your pictures being used by AI bots without your permission, there are two programs that are being recommended: Glaze, a defensive program that puts an imperceptible layer over your art, and Nightshade, an offensive program that make the AI unable to identify the images in the work. You can use them together, as well. Both require large computer resources (Glaze more than Nightshade) - one person compared it to running Minecraft - they do not do well with transparency, and they do take time to process the images, but they are what the community has available right now.

More of these... oh well, guess it doesn't hurt

- My First Sims Experience was with the PS2 Version of the Sims 2, it had tons of awesome stuff, but the sims...weren't as awesome

- I like to read... well, when i was younger i read a lot, now it's just casualy.

- I'll kill myself to do something i like, on the other hand, when something i do bores me, i barely do something.

- I'm trying to grow sideburns, mutton chop type, yet my facial hair hasn't showed up fully.

- Sometimes i can get a bit nervous around a crowd of unknown or unfamilliar people, but that nerveousness i can disguise easily.

Ok, these are done.

Is anyone interested in Testing Something for me?

I've decided to join the World of Base Game Compatible Conversions, for the simple fact my Sims 3 game is becoming more slower than anything, but i like some of the stuff of the SPs, I already converted a few objects and now I want to know two things:

- Is anyone interested in testing some of the stuff, the only requirement is that the tester must not have the Town Life SP (or uninstalled it recently).

- Do you want anything in particular from that SP, i already converted a few things from it, and i would like to know if someone was interested in an Item of the SP (CAS/Buy/Build)

Some cozy warm clothes for dudes. Using the 3t2 Fair Folk Sylvan mesh that Yuxi converted. I really like trying to see what I can 'add' or change to meshes without actually editing the mesh. So this was a fun project, I think I learned some things from it (Especially that fur @_@)

The colors ended up a little dark. And I only recolored the jacket because otherwise It'd take me an eternity to decide on color combos.

For AM, TM, and CM.

Get dressed action on towel racks

A while ago I started using @episims' wonderful towel lite mod that makes our Sims put on a towel or a bathrobe after they shower or bathe. It adds a delightful touch of realism that is really fun. But as much as I enjoy taking my rich lady from her fancy bathroom to her walk in closet in a towel, sometimes I don't want to send my Sim past their bedroom to get dressed. When I shower I usually get dressed in the bathroom, putting on clothes I hung by the towels before getting in the shower. I thought, why can't my Sims do the same? With a little imagination, I re-purposed the actions of the Seasons coat rack to add clothes-changing animations to the towel racks that most of my Sims already have in their bathrooms, so that I can pretend they too put out their clothes on the towel rack before getting in. I wasn't sure if it was worth uploading but you guys loved the idea so here we go! :)

I only added everyday, formal and pyjamas because those are the three I thought it likely I would ever want. Shower during the day? Everyday clothes please! Girlies got ready for a night out? Get glam with your formal wear! A shower before bed? You'll want your pyjamas. The other categories seem unlikely, but I am open to updating it if there's a persuasive reason :)

As you can see in the video Sims are pretty decent about using the towel racks, even if they are on a wall behind stuff. I haven't altered the actual code to navigate to it, it uses the same slot as viewing the deco object did previously, which in my test has worked well. In the end I had to use different animations for children because the coat rack uses a step stool which needs a slot that the deco objects do not have and I could not figure out adding one. It was either different animations or floating in the air, so different animations it is :)

I've edited three of the Maxis towel racks. "Towel on a Metal Rod", "Towel on a Wooden Rod" and "Towel Hanger Plus Plus". I'm also sharing one edited CC towel rack by Simply Styling, which I discovered through @gayars recolors found on her website here.

If any creators would like to add these edits to their own towel racks, please feel free to do so. To make it easier on you, or any simmer that simply wants to update things they downloaded, I prepared a download package with the resources you need and some basic instructions. It's not step by step, it assumes you are familiar with edits. Should anyone want or need more detailed instructions, I am happy to help when I can :)

Conflicts: The maxis towel rack add on are global plug in for those objects, which means there is a potential for conflicts. HCDU+ will find any conflicts, but I doubt there are any. Indirect conflicts may also occur if you have mods that add additional interactions to deco objects, they would not show on the towel racks because I have overridden their usual pie menu.

Credits: whoward69 at @picknmixsims who taught me how to edit event trees in animations, @episims for the towel lite mod that inspired this, @gayars who taught me how to repurpose animations between objects and for introducing me to the jope towel, and all you lovely people that encouraged me to post this with your enthusiasm <3

I’m having issues running AnyGameStarter and The Sims 2 All-in-One installation, did anyone else have similar issues, if you did, can you tell me how you solved it?

Happy Birthday, Plumb Bob Keep!

A big Happy Birthday to Plumb Bob Keep! 13 years strong, The Last Bastion continues to have a close-knit community, lively discourse, and quality downloads. So let's celebrate with gifts!

From now until the end of April, we encourage folks to post their creations as presents to their fellow Keepers. Of course, it's not necessary, and there is space in this thread for well-wishers of all sorts, too.

If you do choose to add a download to the celebration, post a teaser pic and maybe some text in this thread, and link it to the regular download location, please. Thanks!

Let's hear it for the Keep! Huzzah!

This is pretty serious stuff. Bayer might be about to overturn the EC’s decision to ban the pesticides implicated in killing off the bees! If they win this case, it could be truly disastrous for both the bees and our own future. Please share, and please see the SumOfUs link (no affiliation) to make a donation to help the campaign to save the bees.

Early in 2013, the European Food Safety Authority stated that three specific neonicotinoid insecticides (imidacloprid, clothianidin, and thiamethoxam) pose an acute risk to honeybees, and the European Commission proposed a two-year ban on them.

This is due to go into effect on Dec 1st – and the ban was introduced because of mounting scientific evidence that these insecticides, produced by Syngenta and Bayer, have been the agents responsible for Colony Collapse Disorder – a major problem threatening both the bees and the safety of our own food supply!

However in a horrifying twist, and despite huge public opposition, Syngenta and Bayer are now suing the European Commission over their “right” to continue to produce the pesticides which have been implicated in the massive die-off of millions of bees. Yes, their “right”. Because as we know, corporations’ sole agenda is to make money. They cannot let a trivial thing like nature get in their way.

These insecticides continue to be produced and used on a vast scale in the USA and in other countries and are huge moneymakers for the chemical corporations…

After weeks of email round robin where every tech support person knew something different. ^_^

It's back! For realz this time. With it's totally centered header if your browser is wide that I'll most likely never fix because I don't ever want to do this again.

A big thanks to everyone for their patience and support. I hope to never do this again.

All bookmarks should work. All redirects from old digitalperversion links should work. Feel free to let me know of any links not working. Unless it's cc stuff, then I probably not the one to ask.
