Ninento Switch As A Default Replacement For The Handheld Game! Its Been Lying In My WIP-folder Since

Ninento Switch as a default replacement for the handheld game! It’s been lying in my WIP-folder since forever. Hopefully I’ll share it soon (◍•ᴗ•◍)

just another bean coming into your asks to tell you what great work you are doing, your defaults are so beautiful and I'm super excited to see what else you'll bring!! thank you

you are too nice anon (ಥ﹏ಥ) I’m so so happy you enjoy my shitty defaults 🥺 now excuse me while I go wipe my (happy) tears (;´༎ຶД༎ຶ`)b

hi vegan-kaktus! I'm trying to default replace some of the fugly ea glasses but I'm not finding 3idr/gzps in simpe like I usually do for hair and clothes. do you have any idea of where should I start? I didn't find many tutorials about default replacing accessories, and since you're our default replacement queen I thought you could have some insights. thank you!

since you're our default replacement queen

*heavy breathing* (I am not though!!! but thank you!!! 🥺🥺🥺🥺)

Hello veganossauro! :-D I come with good news!! 

I’m sure there are easier ways to do this, but I couldn’t find any tutorial either so yeah ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ and sorry if this is too beginner friendly for you, I thought it would be better to explain everything in detail just in case :-D

1. Open up bodyshop, click on “make parts”, then “create new project”, choose “create facial hair, make-up & glasses” and then select the glasses you want to replace. I’ll use the black “ufaccessorysunglassesretro” glasses here as an example:

2. Click on “export selected textures” (i.e make a recolor) and name the project “glasses” or something (you don’t need to import the recolor to the game, we just want bodyshop to make a project folder). 

(I’m using SmugTomato’s version of bodyshop, if anyone’s wondering.)

3. Close bodyshop and go to your Documents\EA Games\The Sims 2\Projects folder. Look for the folder (in my case, “glasses”) with your glasses and open up the package file from that folder in SimPE.

4. Now, select one of the XMOLs (XMOL seems to be the accessory “version” of GZPS), click on “Resource” down in the left corner and copy the text/numbers from “Type”.

5. Click on “finder”, choose “PropertySet Search” and paste the text/numbers you just copied in the “Custom Type (opt):” search bar. Then you want to write the name of your glasses (in my case it’s “ufaccessorysunglassesretro”) in the very first search bar where it says “Match:”. The name of your glasses can be seen in the XMOLs. Click on start when you’ve pasted/written everything :-)

6. Here you should get some matches! Double click on one, sort by “instance” (so it’s easier to find the matching 3IDR) and then you can extract them (right click + “Extract...”) like usual :-D

7. And you’re done!

Now I did only test this with these glasses, but hopefully it will work for other glasses as well. I have no idea how I came up with this tbh, and I haven’t tried this “solution” at all. I’m not even sure if it will work, but I think it should? (;´༎ຶД༎ຶ`)b I don’t see any reason why it wouldn’t!

Also, I’ve read over at MTS that many of EA’s glasses are borked (especially the round glasses, I’ve heard that you shouldn’t even clone them when making custom accessories bc they are very much borked) so you might encounter some issues when defaulting, but I wish you luck my friend! :-D and do let me know if it doesn’t work or you stumble upon any other problem, I’m happy to help if I can! (◍•ᴗ•◍)❤

WHAT WAS THAT WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU'RE NOT WORTHY??? GIRL I'LL FIGHT YOU!!!!!! ヽ( `д´*)ノ

WHERE DO ALL YOU LOVELY ANONS EVEN COME FROM

Hello! Sorry to bother. Do you know if someone has remade the loading screen from this post (/post/612873024919781376/simhaus-shared-these-loading-screens-9-months) but without the white background (like the original by simhaus)?

Hello anon! :-D you’re not a bother at all! Afaik, no one has. It’s a small edit though, so I did it for you and you can find it in the original post! :-)

Way overdue replies

Before I begin, I just want to say I had a BLAST reading all of the comments on my “Stuff I’ve found during my ~adventures~ in SimPE” post. Unfortunately, I won’t reply to them because there’s just too many! (;´༎ຶД༎ຶ`) but a big warm thank you to everyone who commented on that post!!

I’m glad you seem to like it! :-D I’m excited for this as well! I’ve had the download post in my drafts now for more than a year... heh. I’ll try and post it later today or tomorrow :-)) and thank you Jacobaoconnor! I actually used your cep and made a recolor, so I’ll link to your download in my post :-)

@d1schord3​ hello and welcome to “not-just-lurking” on tumblr haha! You can flip meshes in Milkshape if you mark the group you want to rotate/flip, then you click on “rotate” and use the options available there :-) I apologize for the vague description, but feel free to message me if you want more help :-D
