Into The Future Soil Rugs With Additional Invisible Presets - default replacement

This was requested by @echoweaver (sorry it took me so long to upload!). I added a second invisible preset to all five ITF soil rugs so they are a bit more versatile. I decided against replacing the original texture with an empty one because I didn't want it to mess up pre-built houses in Oasis Landing, so instead I added a new preset. Because of that, I had to edit the .OBJD resources along with the textures, so if you're using these hiders by @bioniczombie, make sure to delete the hiders for these rugs!

How to keep Sims from moving around when you’re photo-shooting, without resorting to poses (yes, it IS possible!)

Because I’m trying to shoot pics for a large wedding party, I figured I’d eventually run into the bane of every Simmer who attempts to put a lot of Sims into one location:

They won’t bloody well stay where you want them to!

Want them all sitting down? Soon enough, one or more of them will get out of their chairs, even if you have Sim Autonomy OFF.

I found something that fixes that, and it’s something so simple: the Movie Maker cheats.

Apparently, you need Generations for this (or you did when it was released; I’m not sure if a subsequent patch enabled it for everyone) but give it a try, regardless of whether you have Generations or not.

To access it, open up the cheat console (CTRL + SHIFT + C) and type:

TestingCheatsEnabled True

And then type:

MovieMakerCheatsEnabled True

Now, when you Shift-left-click on a Sim, you’ll get the following menu:

Disable Autonomy will make ALL the Sims on the lot do nothing, except what you tell them to do. Sit them all down, and they’ll stay put. THIS is the cheat you need to keep all those little wandering buggers in place!

Turn off Look Ats will stop their heads from moving (you probably want to keep this enabled for most things, as it looks more natural)

Animation lets you play almost any animation on any Sim, from the idles to the conversations, the solo dances (sadly no animations that require two people, so your Sims can’t slow-dance this way unless you switch on some music and tell them to slow dance). You can play them once or play them in a loop.

Remember to shift-left-click the mailbox and set all needs to static if you’re doing a day of shooting, or else you’ll have some Sims starving to death in puddles of pee ;)

TF can use AF clothes neck sliders

Be warned, these sliders are NOT perfect, I have yet to find a way to do this. Using Master Controller you can enable AF clothing for TF. They have a very similar neck shape anyway (bottom pic). The remaining issue is the shading seam (which could only be fixed by making a default replacement teen head). However, I feel you can edit this out pretty easily in photoshop. The biggest issue was that the fat slider was very different (top left pic) so you got a massive gap. So I made a slider that kinda fixes this gap (top right), so for your slightly more curvy teens you can use AF clothes without a massive neck gap. Found under general head sliders.

Hairdresser Mod Update

Hello everyone! Kinda dropped off the face of the internet the other day; to apologise, here’s an update of the hairdressing mod!

New features: 

Temporarily dye your sims’ hair for a tuneable length of time. Once your sims’ roots and eyebrows grow out, it’ll be time for a retouch! 

Hairdressers can now try and impress salon bystanders into being clients with new social interactions such as: ‘Impress with skill’, ‘Name drop famous clients’, etc. 

Sims with ‘Bad Hair Day’ buff can try and fix their hair in the mirror.

Fixed Features: 

Pets will no longer get the ‘Bad Hair Day’ buff. Going into CAS will no longer change sims’ age. Tooltip now visible on social interactions.

For more info, check the MTS or page or the documentation included in the download!

what i haven't seen the sims community here talk about yet is the current state of ea. it's not good, to put it plainly. ea's biggest cash cow ea sports has severely underperformed. veilguard was a critical failure. ea's stock is iirc at a 5 year low, and it fell overnight after their latest report. the value of ea plunged something like 6 billion dollars. it's insane. as we're speaking we're getting news from studios like bioware being gutted with huge layoffs (trick weekes has been laid off btw).

i do think it's important to consider the yet to be confirmed ts1 and ts2 re-release in this context. i think it's ea's hail mary that they can put out with relatively little effort because well, the games are already made. i don't think ea will meaningfully improve compatibility with newer systems and that it will probably be on par with what you get with osab's installers (which for ts2 easily installs the whole collection for you, together with graphics rules maker which you need to get more resolutions, recognize your graphics card, etc., and lazyduchess' launcher which has many small improvements of its own, including 4gb ram patch).

i'm not going to try to tell you that playing these old games is an easy plug and play solution. it isn't. no old game is as the march of time and technological progress often times leaves old games unplayable without community effort. the ts2 community has been wonderful at keeping the game alive. the current biggest hurdles to accessibility such as pink flashing may not be fixed in this re-release. i just hope that people consider that this is a desperate cash grab of a company that will probably soon be going down the path of ubisoft.
