Now, to be specific, this is a WIP, but it looks like a very promising idea that a lot of people have been clamoring for ever since Sims 3 came out:

Traits Project (Part 1 ) - TS3 Traits for TS2
" Keep in mind that these are simply objects and they won’t do anything gameplay wise. Later parts of the project will be about mods involving these. If you are a modder and would like to mod something using these traits, you are more than welcome! Here’s the list of traits with their GUIDs" - https://hexagonal-bipyramid.tumblr.com/traitsList

This is rather fascinating I think. I'm going to be watching how it develops.

Edit: This is part 2 of the 'Traits project'-this time it's a randomizer that will help you pick which traits your pixels will have:

Traits Project (Part 2 ) - The Trait Randomizer

Don't worry miriamnz, I get it.

I feel a bit similar--in my dream sims game, we'd get sims with TS2 personality & aspirations, but also TS3 traits and LTWs so that we could get the nuances in each aspiration and personality. I'm a bit of an odd ball in that I feel like Maxis got it right the first time around with aspirations and don't want any more; I just want more pronounced differences within each trait, so that sims with the same aspiration don't feel like the same person. TS3 traits let you do that--a fortune sim can be a miser or a spendthrift and a romance sim can be a one-true-romance-hopeless-romantic type or the stereotypical player who gets around. Etc. So I'm really looking forward to the traits project. If modders can come up with a way to use the objects to guide sims behavior, in that certain objects make sims act a certain way/roll certain wants... It'd be really cool.

One way would be to link certain hobby behaviors to some of the traits, like "Angler" which could trigger the want to go fishing and get a badge for it. Stuff like that could work, I think.

Wow, the TS2 community never ceases to amaze me, talk about the power of communities of old games!

FINALLY!! Midgethetree found files in game for mittens for toddler to elder. I can't tell how they look, but I've searched forever for those poor simmies whose outerwear didn't have any to keep their hands warm. Snowball fights for everyone!

I'm sure we'll have recolors soon and possible mesh fixes if they're maxismessedup. (:

@Radium/midgethetree fulfilled a request of mine! Diary Builds Creativity + Sims Won’t Hide Diaries which makes it so that sims won’t try and hide their diary if other sims are in the room and will build creativity as they write. :lovestruc Thanks Radium! I honestly don't know how you keep up with all the requests.

Of course, there's other cool new mods (like Butlers and Nannies Fill Pet Dishes ), so if you haven't check out the tumblr in a while, you should definitely do so!

ETA: Since it's a mod with a similar theme, Radium also enabled Practicing Writing for MogHughson’s manuscript & for computers. Sims who love Film & Lit thank you, Radium!

Let's face it, Midgethetree and co. and KILLING it right now!

This might've been posted before, but I just saw this so sorry.

ETA:

Hexagonal-bipyramid has updated her TS3 traits to TS2 mod.

"Traits Project (Part 3-1) - Workout Pack
While working out:

Athletic Sims don’t have comfort and energy penalty. They also have more fun while exercising. They’ll struggle less than non Athletic ones.
Couch Potato Sims lose more comfort and energy. They also lose fun (the cheaper the exercise equipment is, the more fun they lose). You can see them struggle a bit more than non Couch Potato ones.
Disciplined Sims don’t have comfort and energy penalty while doing yoga. Their fun greatly increases when doing this activity.
Required mod: Easy inventory check

Required EPs: University and/or Freetime or none depending on what files you install or not. Freetime for the ballet bar and the bike, University for the treadmill."

In a similar vein, 2fingerswhiskey made garden gloves and dirty hands. These are in the accessories/glasses category. They were posted back in March, but I just stumbled across them the other day.
https://2fingerswhiskey.tumblr.com/...mudges-bees-are

Midgethetree also unlocked a "chastise" interaction which "Enables a “chastise” interaction between adults/elders and children/teens if they are related." This is great for me because Squinge's unlocked "lecture" kept throwing errors in my game. I'm eager to try midge's version.

I think we might need to consider putting Midgethetree updates in a separate thread...

But here are some more (Thanks @Radium!):
Pets Try For Offspring/Larger Litters/Random Runaway Pet Pregnancy
Kick Out Multiple Roommates, a workaround/fix for those who use (or want to use) Squinge's Multiple Roommates!!
And, it's experimental, but Multiple Roommates Pay Rent

Anyway, I did try to hunt down some non Midge content to post about and found:
A Plain Old Drop Ceiling Kit, along with some other stuff, by 2fingerswhiskey (the ceiling kit preview pictures is allll the way at the bottom of the post)
Some period outerwear for historial hoods by yandereplumsims and simborg
And, after lurking around MTS all day, I found out about Royalties Administrator pays out royalties daily by CtfG right here on MTS

Midgethetree is still rocking it to the rafters: she's made Heget's scrollbooks into functioning Monique computers!

Heget's Computerbooks as Monique Computers

Now the medieval world will not suffer the influences of the modern world!

https://hexagonal-bipyramid.tumblr....-get-some-sleep

"Traits Project (Part 3-2) - Lemme Get Some Sleep!

Heavy Sleepers won’t wake up when there are noises in the same room as them.
Light Sleepers will wake up when there are noises even outside of their room. If it’s outside of the room, the noise has to be somewhat near (about 6 tiles) for the Sims to be woken up.
Both Heavy Sleepers and Light Sleepers can sleep regardless of their Energy level.
Noises can be from TVs, stereos, crying youngsters, doorbells, alarm clocks, fire/burglar alarms and other noises.

Required mod: Easy inventory check

Required EPs: Apartment Life if you also install the noise object file (noises coming from adjacent apartments that Sims need to bang on the wall to make it disappear). None otherwise."

That Traits Project fascinates me, but I'm going to wait for more of it to be finished before I start implementing it in my game.

I think it's brilliant. I'm excited to try creating a few mods based on them myself. It's really going to fit beautifully with my play style where I like as much as possible to be autonomous.

Could someone let us know when it's completed? My booksmarks are a mess, so I don't want to lose it in that jungle.

Suggestion: Get an RSS feed reader. I use the one built into Mozilla Thunderbird. Before that, I used QuiteRSS. (No clue if it's still any good.) There's even a service that'll automatically email RSS feeds to you (though the free version inserts ads to the emails, blegh).

Once you have one, open up a post on tumblr. Click one of the tags (we'll use #traits project) and get the url. Then add rss to the end of the url:
https://hexagonal-bipyramid.tumblr....its-project/rss
(sorry, it truncated)

In the browser, it looks like a mess. But once you put that URL into your RSS reader, it'll be able to fetch new posts from hexagonal-bipyramid tagged as #traits project.

I don't use my tumblr anymore, but I keep up with a few blogs this way.

I was just going to say that Smorbie1 could just bookmark, https://hexagonal-bipyramid.tumblr..../traits-project. That way all the updates can be seen on one page.




I'm doing this as well. I'm waiting to see what's the flirty traits are going to be like, before I commit. It's awesome so far, tho.

She said her bookmarks were a mess, which is why I suggested RSS.

Kitten and Puppy Collars by KittenInTheWindow! Requires Midgethetree's Puppies, Kittens and Spectral Cat can use mirror Mod for the collars to show up :D

I'm getting a 404 error on the midge link. Anyone have another?

From what I read on Tumblr, Sim File Share is down at the moment - maybe you could try later? If goes on, I don't think Midge would mind to upload it on another server

EDIT: SFS official tumblr, just in case: https://simfileshare.tumblr.com/pos...635419/downtime

More Attractive Gaming Competitions and yes, it's by MidgeTheTree.

But hey, maybe now sims can actually have a game competition on a community lot!

Download link isn't working. Maybe because simfile share is down again.

Remove the "www." from any SFS urls will allow them to work again - I recommend setting up a browser extension to automatically redirect those for you.

Cool, thank you. :D
