This Is A Small Default Replacement For Tv Moderate From Basegame. I Was Browsing Around In SimPE When

This is a small default replacement for “tv moderate” from basegame. I was browsing around in SimPE when I stumbled upon a texture called tvmoderate-dvds_txtr which seemed to be unused. I’m guessing EA originally planned on making the dvds a separate mesh group with its own texture, but for some reason they decided to scrap that idea and merge it with the “tvmoderate_stand” group. The dvds’ unused texture is notably less blurry than the texture they decided to slap on tvmoderate-tv_txtr, so I extracted, remapped, made a txmt for the texture, fixed some clipping while I was at it and voila! :-)

The file has been compressed to reduce file size and if you have any texture default replacement for the moderate tv you can use that one and mine, but it won’t affect the dvds. If you have any mesh default replacement though, they are not compatible and you’ll have to choose between that one or mine. (I don’t know if any mesh default replacement exists for this tv though) 

Edit: @rudhira has shared a (mesh) default replacement here! Which includes my edit/fix :-)

Edit #2: it is compatible with Stinky’s clear glass default!

Your tv stand dr is the epitome of cc that changes things I never paid attention to, never will again, but absolutely *need* in my game because it gives me life, for some reason. I never even noticed the dvd had Maxis written on it, but oh well ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Thanks, Kaktus! (never thought calling someone kaktus would sound so beautiful and right)

WHAT THE HECK ANON, I can’t even express how flattered I am (;´༎ຶД༎ຶ`) thank you so much for this sweet message, you totally made my day!

I completely understand what you mean. I’m 100% the same and I love editing and fixing small things like this :-D I saw a tumblr post some months ago (which I can’t seem to find right now) that pointed out the written maxis and that the tv actually has dust on it and “marks” after hands(!!!!):

The details put into this game.

Yay! It looks great! :-D

Whew, it’s been a while since I did object defaults! Here’s a default (and recolours) of a Base Game TV that I wanted to do much earlier, but the mapping on the TV stand was… horrible, which prevented any recolours from looking nice.

I’ve edited the mapping, and used this fix by @vegan-kaktus as a base.

Oh, and the new colours. Default replacement and bundled recolours in seven of @shastakiss’ cluedo woods.

What was the most strange want/fear in ts2 game ever you seen ?

Hi anon! :-D oh, hmmm.. I don’t know tbh 🤔 I can tell you about a weird encounter with bigfoot I had some years ago in the game though!

I created a family of four, two parents and two toddlers. I moved them to a small house and was just going to play for a bit before continuing building my neighborhood. The second or third night around 02:00 I think, something weird happened. The two toddlers were sleeping in their room and their parents were awake watching tv or something in another room. I was just switching between them and the toddlers, minding my own business, when all of a sudden I see bigfoot’s icon in the queue of both toddlers. I was like: “wth?” so I hovered over the icon to see what he was trying to do and it said something along the lines of “be taken away by”. I was like, what?? Bigfoot was not a part of the family nor had anyone in the family ever interacted with him.

I paused the game to think about what I should do. I thought that perhaps he wouldn’t be able to go through the door (since duh, it was locked) but no, he just walked right through haha. I paused again and considered my options which was: 1. let him take the toddlers to wherever he was planning on taking them, or 2. simply delete him. I made him selectable to see what was in his queue, and I think it said “take baby” or something similiar (in other words: no more information than I got from the babies’ queues). I was soo confused but lmao was I laughing. This is why I sincerely love ts2! While I was curious what would happen if he did take them away, in the heat of the moment I didn’t want him to, so I decided to delete him. That didn’t work though, so I ended up deleting the doors lol.

When he finally gave up (read: he couldn’t get through the walls) and was walking off the lot, I thought to myself: I should take a screenshot, just in case nobody believes me when I tell them this (since I literally had never heard of this happening to anyone else, and my quick google search gave zero results). So yeah, here is the only proof of that weird encounter with bigfoot I had 3-4 years ago:

Now I regret not letting him take the toddlers. I’m so damn curious as to what this was and what would have happen if he took them. Would he make stew out of them? Would he come back with them the next night? Would they come back years later? I have so many questions and no answers, and I’ve yet to find anyone talking about anything similiar. If anyone reading this has had this happen to them, or know anything more about this “interaction”, please let me know! There’s no information at all about this on simsfandom nor can I find any discussions about this topic whatsoever :-((

Hi, WCIF the couches and lamp in your post 'why-is-it-so-hard-to-decorate-rooms-and-take' I know your busy right now, so take your time answering this. P.S. I love your defaults!

Hello dear anon! [link in question]

The couches are actually Maxis content! Or, ish, at least. It’s a loveseat made from EA’s suede armchair by MsBarrows which you can find here. It’s repositoried to EA’s suede armchair, so all recolors you have for that will work with MsBarrows add-ons. The recolor I used here is by Luasims*. As for the lamp, it’s “Murano’s Cluit” converted by evanesco/ocsenave and can be found here** (it’s the last download, and preview can be found here)

*For anyone in the near future who sees this when mediafire has nuked all files from inactive users (i.e you can’t download Luasims’ recs from mf), the box-links still work if you use digi’s redirector.

**and evanesco/ocsenave’s content can be found re-uploaded here. damn you mediafire.

I’m very happy to hear you like my shitty defaults 🥺 thank you! (and thank you for being patient<3 this was a nice break from downloading content though, so thank you for the wcif!)

This is a small edit of @decat2‘s phone cover to make it visible in neighborhood view :-) no recolors are included, so get them in the original download here and simply replace the mesh with mine from below. The file has been compressed to reduce file size.
