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.
If you already participated, thank you so, so much. The survey has been revised as of mid-November to add more questions and will now probably take at least 30 minutes to complete in full. It is detailed. You should not attempt to complete it on mobile away from your simming computer.
The survey is for ALL TS2 players, whether you have pink flashing in your game or not.
I now anticipate releasing the analysis report in early January 2024. For your data to meaningfully contribute to this analysis, a response deadline of December 15, 2023 is being established.
DM me if you already took the original survey, want to answer the additional (follow-up) questions, and haven't already heard from me.
PLEASE REBLOG for maximum reach, even if you already responded or reblogged my original solicitation for responses.
THANKS EVERYONE!!

Like, we've been through the great TSR paywall wars of the late 2000s, we won, like, you're definitively not getting the majority of the player base. It's probably gonna get the newer players, those who do come from 4 or other games and those do have their own mod monetization issues, but you can find plenty of stuff for free, heck even better conversions of paid stuff, you just gotta look around
do paywallers in ts2 community realise that nobody in their right mind is actually going to pay for cc. the minute i open your download link and i’m directed to your boosty or patreon with a big fat UNLOCK NOW button i’ve closed the tab and forgotten all about your existence
So SimsFileShare is moving servers and some files might be deleted in the process (files that haven’t been shared to a lot of people and that are older than 6 months) , and i’ve been neglecting to share a lot of old Sims 3 files that I had shared at an old forum that has closed a while back, so if you want to snag those files, I’ll share that folder here, feel free to peruse and do whatever you want with them, just don’t claim as your own and put them behind a paywall of any kind, I also added SimFileShare links to all the creations that were posted here too, so feel free to check them out too, I’ll eventually will get to make proper posts for most of these things (if i don’t forget in the meantime), but for now, feel free to peruse this folder: Sims 3 CC Folder: http://simfileshare.net/folder/33924/

It took me the entire day to reinstall the game on my new computer, to make all the adjustements for it to work on Windows 11, find the right settings with the Graphic Rules Maker, and… my game loads twice faster from Windows to neighborhood view, then it loads at least TEN TIMES faster to enter a lot, everything runs so smoothly, even in very heavy CC lots and neighborhoods, with all settings at high, Origin downloading the Sims 4 at the same time, talking to my best friend on Discord, recording a video… like… IS THIS HEAVEN ?! I’m about to cry. Tears of joy of course. But still !
I think the next week (or maybe even the next month) will be about enjoying my game and nothing else. I’m so, so, so happy, you can’t even imagine !
Welcome to the First Actual installment of the Coffeesmith project, this first part is all about (Mostly) Espresso Bars, and it is the core foundation this project was developed over:
So the options I have to offer are the Sims 3 Espresso Bar (with and without the counter) Nynaeve’s Espresso Bar that was converted by Mari, the Sims 4 Big Espresso Machine + Grinder, Fallout 4′s “The Sicilian” Espresso Machine and the Fallout 3 + New Vegas Coffee Urn, originally converted by ThatScaryChick, aside from the ones where credit was given, these were mostly converted by me, and are all working Espresso Bars (And compatible with Barista Plus *hint hint*)
The Sims 4 one comes with 7 Recolors for both the Machine and Grinder so you can mix and match
The Sims 3 Bar comes with 3 Recolor options for the Bar itself and 2 Recolor options for the machine
And the Fallout 4 one comes with two Recolor Options. Btw, the counterless ones are floating because they are based off of HugeLunatic’s Espresso Machine CEP, so please do put a counter beneath these if you don’t want a case of floating cups (but if you do, by all means go ahead). However, remember I said that mostly these were espresso bars? well, as a throw in extra, here, have some Regular espresso machines for home espresso:
Yeah, these are the same as the espresso bars, but these do require counters and don’t spawn any baristas (and the grinder is just deco), but while I was at it, it would be a shame to not make the regular home version of these.
the Nynaeve espresso and the coffee urn are slaved to the Deco Originals, which are included for convenience, the rest are slaved to the Espresso Bar versions.
At least two stations were cut from this, but it is because they are yet to be meshed, so expect 1.2 later down the line
But without further ado: Download Special Thanks: HugeLunatic for the Espresso Bar CEP and a lot of the Resource Material I checked for this, Fireflower, Frac and probably a lot of people from The Keep who gave me help and support for doing this.
Yeah, that’s what the title says, it’s a splash screen music default, with this classic tune in it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E9s1ltPGQOo Instructions:
There are two ways to install this:
1 - rename the splash file to "Splash" and copy it to your SOUND folder of your latest EP/SP. For Ultimate Collection users: Origin Games\The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection\Fun WIth Pets\SP9\TSData\Res\Sound or
2 - if using LOADING RANDOMISER place all or desired files in custom_splash_music folder
Credits: knowledgeaspiration and falkii for their amazing Studio Ghibli loading screens and splash music, which I used as a base for this. fireflowersims for the squirrel ;) Download: http://www.simfileshare.net/download/1991441/
PS: This is for Sims 2, don’t use it in other sims games
(He/Him) I share mostly Sims 2 content, not at a consistent rate. (Also known as Sonikku3 and jdps18 on different websites)
