Question for Builders Re: Dormer Windows Lighting Fix

Not sure if there's anyone building/playing the Sims 2 who'd be interested in this but I'm "fixing" the lighting on some Maxis windows so they don't get the weird dormer shadows from intersecting a roof.

I need to make duplicate windows to fix them--which is a lot of work and a lot of catalog clutter. So I'm just picking out a few Maxis windows to remake.

If this is something you'd download... Does this look like a good selection of Maxis windows? Too many? Did I miss a favorite?

I'm either going to price these for $0 so they don't get mixed in with the other windows or make them available by collection file only so they're not in the catalog at all. Right now I'm leaning towards a collection file. Do you have a preference?

Amazing!

DEFAULT INVISIBLE GREENHOUSE ROOF

Remember this trick that Criquette posted three and a half years ago? Well, I bring to you: Criquette’s invisible greenhouse roof updated to be invisible in hood view, as well!

Please note that this default will make both the walls and the roof of your chosen greenhouse texture invisible, and that they will be invisible in both hood and lot view. This means that placing the roof can be tricky, because you literally won’t be able to see what you’re doing. I’d suggest taking this file out when you’re building and placing it back in your downloads folder once you’ve got your roof adjusted to your liking.

I’ve made a separate file for each default greenhouse color. The file for the green texture has the same name as Criquette’s original default, so that you can just overwrite it. Or, if you’d prefer to keep the green texture, you can choose one of the other two files instead. Happy Simming!

CREDITS: @criquette-was-here for the original file; @honeywell-mts for inspiring me to figure this out for the sake of her lovely Bespoke Lot Pack II; @tvickiesims whose defaults I used to reverse engineer the solution

Here’s a couple of window edits. The first allows roof intersection so when you’re deleting half of your house trying to build a roof at least you know it’s not the windows...  The second is an optional fix for the snow inside the house.

Bespoke Roof Trim Add Ons

New angles!  These are only available through collection file--there was way too many to sort into the catalog.

Thank you @gayars  (Sim Crafters Discord) and @catherinetcjd, @motherof70 @stinkyunicorn, @kayleigh-83, @teaaddictyt, @eulaliasims and @rumoursjunior.

Any requests for Bespoke Roof Trim?

The gable trim comes in 45°, 35° and 15° angles and I’m adding a 20° angle to the set.  If you use the trim and need another angle now is the time to ask.  Chances are good you’d get it this weekend.

can you share a lil bit about your neighborhood building? btw your gameplay gives me such a serene vibe! <3

Hi Anon!

Thank you and I will gladly share what I do which is not a lot, but I do have some things I cannot play without:

1. Super basic but super helpful for decorating a neighborhood are camera mods: I currently use Gunmod´s Camera Mod 3.1 which lets you pull all the way to the edges of your neighborhood terrain and zoom in/out infinitely more than maxis cameras.

2. The next thing is seriously a game changer, sky boxes and skylines: holy simoly, when custom skylines came out for sims 2 my gameplay experience went to a whole new level. It makes your game look so pretty and gives you that open world view with the slightly faded horizon in the distance. @greatcheesecakepersona´s Seasons Ready Skylines are a must and currently I pair these with @dramallamadingdang´s  Rural Agricultural Horizon. So pretty:

3. Equally as important as skylines are trees: I love my game green, so I put trees EVERYWHERE. If I had to choose to live with one set of trees in my game forever I would without a doubt choose the almighty @criquette-was-here´s linden trees. I have yet to find any other tree that fits my game’s aesthetic more than her amazing set! I love placing them on my sims lots as well, instead of placing trees inside the household, it just looks so good (I recommend this mod that lets you place NH deco everywhere)! Other than that I use a few edits of maxis trees and shrubs, as well as some small base game rocks here and there, but mostly criquettes linden trees.

4. Next are default replacements: I currently use the Rural Charm Terrain & Road Replacement by @criquette-was-here for neighborhood terrain and @honeywell-mts´s Lush Terrain Default Replacement for lot view. In addition to that I use Voielle´s Cliff & Beach Default Replacement. I used to play with sea and pond water defaults too, but my game crashes every time I try to use them😭. But I love Voielle´s Pond&Sea Water Overhaul.

5. Last but not least: deco objects. I used to have tons and tons of neighborhood CC but currently am using a very minimal amount. It also depends on what style you are going for with your hood. Currently I like a rural, green and natural look, so skyscrapers and big city buildings are not my thing, but there's plenty out there. Here's a list of my favourite things:

- @criquette-was-here´s Hedges&Fences Set and Rural Lane Set

- @greatcheesecakepersona´s New Barn Textures and Seasonal Fields

- these cute cows

- Chimerical´s Hood Deco Set´s (hay, wood piles, scarecrow, water tower, etc)

5. When decorating: I am actually not professional at all when it comes to planning and decorating my hoods, I just go with the flow and try different things till an area looks good. I know other simmers plan and divide their hoods into different areas and really put thought into how their lots are placed and how everything comes together, which is so not me. My hood just grows with my sims since I almost always start with a single household because I am too lazy for a BACC🙈 and I just place deco around that lot and go on from there. I do recommend looking at other players hood decorating and get inspired, you will find what you like best by trying out different things and sticking with what works for you and I bet you will have your own style in no time (which is always evolving anyways).

6. When taking pictures: it’s all about the angle! Literally, there are many nooks and corners of my hoods that simply don't look like much. I like spending some time just cruising around in tab mode finding scenery angles that I like and trying different things like bird views or getting real close trying to shoot out of the perspective of an imaginary sim.📸

Well, that's all I can think of right now. Hope this answers your question.

We had such good times together--so many laughs and good memories.  You touched my life, Lee, and I’ll never forget you.  Rest in peace.

I've only recently downloaded Murano's reflective floors (with view interaction disabled by @honeywell-mts). I love grungy floors so didn't think it would be useful in my game BUT I've discovered that reflective layers actually do great job at imitating ice surface. So I've made these two.

Chair Fix:  Allow Use 45 ° Angle

All of the chairs in game can be rotated with the 45° angle cheat but @sunradersimblr noticed some chairs couldn’t be used by your Sims when they where rotated. This mod fixes that.  Update:  Deco lounge chair fix in the comments.

Thanks to to @gayars discord Sims Crafters as well (everyone is welcome).
