If you want a trip down memory lane, back to the days of the Exchange, I present:
https://clockwatching.net/~jack/s2/reader/
Contains classics like Belovedwagon's Du Jour Legacy, The Squeaky Clean Legacy, and RealPollyMogs' building tutorials.
So. Much. Nostalgia!

Don't forget Apocalypso A-Go-Go and The Ugothlacy by ephemeraltoast! I loved those. I remember Candi020765's Uglacy taking a while to get going, but being really worth it in the end. And Orikes360's The Psuedo Legacy, Netsfn1427's The Ten Caesars, and Omgrobinnn's It's a legacy, Darling! were favs too. Some of them were unfinished, but still great reads. I used to read them way back in the day when I was in college. :D

Oh, and Jo's The Mobacy is on there, too! Another good read.

It's a shame that more non-challenge stories didn't get saved there, too. There were some good ones.

ETA: Oh, yeah, I never finished the Fitzhugh Legacy! Well, I know what I'm doing today instead of my To Do List.

Shhh don't bring up that. *blushes beat red at her cringeworthy old story*

But Jo! I love that story!

*I have no idea how to get this gif to upload properly*

I've been looking at pictures/animations taken in TS2 with reshade, especially herbalwhite's on tumblr, and it's jaw-dropping: https://herbalwhite.tumblr.com/post...-2-did-a-lot-of

This community will never cease to amaze me

Anyone interested in all the Maxis careers turned into Wasteland careers?

They're here:
Default Replacement Wasteland Careers

Oh my god, that's awesome. I have to use these in my next Apocalypse Challenge.

This thread seems kinda quiet lately. And I'm really surprised no one mentioned the Christmas in July sharing thread. From that, I'll highlight AlfredAskew's mesh swaps of some items from the Simlogical School Set, since I think some simmers here use that set. If you ever wanted a more modern version of the items, there you go.

For objects:
Decat converted some things including a steam train.
Tony-veis converted a bunch of stuff, including a garden work station, some TS4 Eco Life items, Functional Solar Panels and Wind Turbines, and a Community Board based on MogHughson's Job Seeking Notice Board. Then Gryning converted some knitting clutter and Autumn-Rosesims converted some trash and broken furniture from TS4's Eco Life, which will be handy for all those alleys I was thinking about building.

If you want to build a mobile home, Criquette made the Garland Noriker Truck Chassis. Oh, and Shastakiss fulfilled a request of mine, and slaved Sunni's Bay Window Seat and Foundation-Stage Height Cushions to Jonesi's bed blanket here, which looks great with YPlum's knitted recolors btw.

And there have been some very cool clothes released over the summer. I'll highlight Vulrien sims and yakumtsaki, for you retro hood players, since I just discovered both of them in the past few weeks. I'll also link some male clothes and CU/toddler things, since those tend to be more sought after. But please, if you don't already, follow DeeDee Sims, RentedSpace/SerentityFall, and MDPthatsme. So many good things. I cannot stress it enough. I know a lot of you like your small download folders, and that's fair, but I really think your sims will thank you! I know I squee a little every time I go into CAS and check out the new clothes I downloaded... Anyway:
Rented Space converted some kids clothes here (be sure to check the entire page) and here and here
Retromaisie recolored a bunch of clothing for Clairsy for Christmas in July
DeeDee converted WeBluePeace's sweats for elders and teens
MDP converted a nice looking suit, as well as did some more swimwear for guys here and here

What about oil-on-canvas or watercolor-on-paper?(Uh... I can see only canvas on my easel) : http://www.theninthwavesims.com/202...el-options.html

There should be a disclaimer on this-it works only with the UC and I've read that it requires the game to be linked to Origin to actually work.

Otherwise it will possibly crash and burn on your computer as well as destroy your game. Be careful with this-and you should have a really good video card to use it with...

Wonder if it conflicts with Midge the Tree's 'More computer options'.

The developer said it was a mess and it wasn't complete. Looks like it was thrown together with band aids and rubber bands and not really stable.
Those are some downloads that are download at your own risk type of deals. I won't DL anything unless it's entirely stable, workable, and error free

Nanashi is back with an inflatable pool (that is really a functional hot tub) https://nanashi.sims2.net/?p=470.

Jelly Meduza released a smart phone mod. The smart phone object can be used for all three handheld electronics functions: cell phone, handheld game, and MP3 player.

See Lfact's post below for a better link to it.

Candle making!

https://simgigglegirl.wordpress.com...o-masterlist-2/
Genetically accurate premade sims.

On the candle making, does anyone know where this required mod "Easy Inventory Check – To check for traits." is located? Or if it's needed if one doesn't play with traits? Or if the candle making requires using the traits mods?

There is one, which I have in my traits folder:
"HB-easyinventorycheck.package."

And it's here:
