UPDATE 18/06:updated The Files To Make The Hat Not Covered In Snow During Winter (cloned From Nopkes

UPDATE 18/06: updated the files to make the hat not covered in snow during winter (cloned from Nopke’s fix, you’ll still need that fix as well). If you don’t use Nopke’s fix and want the hat to be covered in snow during winter, get one of the files from the old zip file. The new updated files are in the "vegankaktus_penguinDEFAULT_updated".

You ever look at a penguin and think “this penguin needs a hat and some clothes”? ... No? Well I did >:-D with this default replacement you get just that - a penguin with hat and clothes! Many problems and errors later, (this makes it sound like I’ve been working on it for ages, but it’s literally been a day lmao) I present to you: my penguin default replacement!

Included in the download are three four files, but you have to choose one of them since they are all defaults. If you already have a penguin default in your downloads folder, you have to remove it before installing mine. The only ones I know of are this and this though. I also recommend this fix by Nopke. It’s compatible with my DR (but not required)!

All files have been compressed to reduce file size. If you experience anything weird when using my default, let me know!

DOWNLOAD: SFS | MTS

Credits: @strangetomato​ for their default replacement with kinemortophobia’s alien eyes, xmsims for the hat mesh (new texture by me), Yuxi/esperesa for the clothes’ texture (second download, "in stride”) and EA for the necklace (it’s from afbodybohemian) and @simnopke​ for the txmt I cloned for the hat (in the updated version).

And lasty, a huge thank you to @hugelunatic​, @itsdiamondeyesuniverse​ and @deedee-sims​ for taking the time trying to helping me. I wouldn’t have figured out how to fix all the problems I stumbled upon if it weren’t for them. I promised cookies, so here!! Have some well deserved cookies:

Stuff I’ve found during my ~adventures~ in SimPE

I’ve been working since last year on defaulting all of EA’s ep/sp food. I’m improving textures etc (+ making them all vegan >:-D) and through this I’ve found some things I feel the need to share:

1. one of EA’s “foodplatterappetizer” has dog poo in it:

like? what even is that

2. EA accidentally wrote “ingrediants” instead of “ingredients” on the mac n cheese texture:

3. when working on my mail delivery default (which I’m hopefully going to share soon) I noticed that there’s English on one of the letters:

“certified mail“

4. this is legit EA’s onion texture:

I mean I knew it was bad, but that’s just plain sad..

5. there’s a texture for a single pea:

in what situation is this even being used?? I have so many questions

6. it seems EA originally planned on adding some sort of neighborhood “walking sim”:

lifo file:

7. WHAT EVEN IS THIS:

HELP.

8. huh:

???

9. what is this and why do I feel like I’ve seen it before:

10. and oh, nearly forgot, mby I’m late to the party but the bowls when sims are making cereals are completely white:

and taking the texture from the milk cartoon, like this:

idk why I found this so funny. I mean, EA know how to repository stuff, why didn’t they just keep the bowls as a separate group and then referenced them to their texture? Why choose to do it this way?? So that’s what I did bc it bothered me. Unfortunately I won’t put it up for download just yet, it will be shared when I’m done with defaulting all of EA’s food. I have more fixes to share..

Retailsims re-upload

Since retailsims is closing down, I spent the whole day yesterday downloading everything from the site. I’ve re-uploaded all things over at SFS here. Pictures, zip files and screenshots from the site is included in every folder. I couldn’t download some things so if it’s not included, that’s why (I also wrote this on the screenshot if that’s the case, showing which download is not included).

I also totally missed that Fireflowersims had already uploaded everything here, if I’d seen this I wouldn’t have spent the whole day yesterday doing this lmao but oh well, doesn’t hurt to have one more backup I guess ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Lastly, I think I accidentally copied a zip file (from another set) into another one in the OFB folder, so if you find a zip file in a zip file which obviously doesn’t belong there, you know why haha. I’m really not going to go through 62773827473 files just to find which one I accidentally copied a file into, hope you understand.

All credit goes to retailsims of course, I own nothing.

Edit 2020-06-10: I realised that I missed some screenshots of the site in the landscape.zip, they are now updated and included! There was also a wall (Asian7) which wasn’t downloadable, I re-did it in Homecrafter (by using the picture available on retailsims) so that’s now included as well.

Edit: 2020-07-23: since I’ve taken over @sims2packrat I decided to move this folder to my sims2packrat folder. Or I thought I did, but it turns out: I deleted every. goddamn. folder. 

Yeah I hate myself too.
