Spring4Sims – The Best Finds, Downloads & Hints for Your Sims

There are some nice eyes by Anna today. As the title says, they look realistic and in my opinion, really fab! Love the black shade the most.

oneHime is a new site or alest I met it today, is a pretty cute site with great custom content and good taste in clothes for girls. To see more and download the lastest update click HERE.

I’ve been holding this community lot for quite some time and now I’m finally giving it for everyone to download. It’s not made by me, but by one of Spring4Sims’ reader – Larissa. She’s decided to share it on my blog and I’m really happy to upload it.

As the title says, it’s a small café with nice landscaping. Inside, there’s a small shop with cakes. It looks really cozy in there, just download it and take a look.

Just like I promised you, I bring you a new download and that is a lot created by my dear friend, Charlie. (Sorry for the delay!) Actually, these are apartments with nice big pool and landscaping. I didn’t have too much time to play the game, but as much as I checked these apartments out, they’re really great.

From 1,200 to 2,800 Simoleons.

There are four apartments, two small ones and two with two floors.

Some of you probably remember Circle’s Sim-Art I’ve mentioned in my older posts. She’s incredible talented and draws beautiful paintings!

Anyway, I wanted these to be available for my Sims in the game, too. So I downloaded all Circle’s paintings and resized them and here are her three paintings I’ve resized in two different styles – closeup and the actual size of Perpetual Downpour and Lovesmenot.

:love: So, how do these pictures work?
They work as custom paintings, so your Sims can paint them in the game. Just get them an easel and choose Paint Custom Painting… option from the cake bar.

:love: How to install these pictures?
Extract the files from the .zip and put them in C:\Documents and Settings\Your Profile\My Documents\EA Games\The Sims 2\Paintings folder. That’s all!

:love: What expansion packs are required?
You need any of these expansion packs make the custom paintings work: Pets, Seasons, Bon Voyage.

I’ve made some recolors of Atomica tiles from Pets EP a long time ago and finally I took some pictures to share with you. The recolors come in Purple/Pink, Light Pink, Light Orange and Deep Orange – they are made especially in the feminine tones since Maxis has made more male-like.

I’ve also made some walls with pink/lime/lemon colors that you can either match with the new Light Pink tiles, or with the original tiles by Maxis (see last three pictures). I think the colors turned out pretty well and I like using the tiles in community lots (see the first two pictures), too.

What’s in the package?

• Light Pink Tiles “Pink-a-Wink” – floor, half wall tiles, whole wall tiles, Pink-a-Wink with Lime Essence for half and whole wall tiles
• Purple Tiles “Pink Grape” – floor, half wall tiles, whole wall tiles
• Deep Orange Tiles “Smart Orange” – floor, half wall tiles, whole wall tiles
• Light Orange Tiles “Unreal Orange” – floor, half wall tiles, whole wall tiles

What’s the price?

Actually I’m not sure. I think about 10 Simoleons for each wall/floor.

Here comes my second attempt to make Bluewater Village more playable place for me and my Sims. Personally, I never visit grocery stores. They are boring and then we also have a delivery, right? But what I do find useful are vegetables & fruits grown in your garden. They are special and when you make various juices, they can change the mood of your Sims or they can get new badges. The only problem is that not all of my Sims have a garden. And that’s why I thought I could make a fun grocery store (or a replacement for the Maxis lot that’s in BWV) with home-grown vegetables. Yeah, you’ve perhaps seen it before… And in case you were interested for what prices the vegetables can be sold, look here!

Compatibility & Custom Content

This lot requires all expansion packs (UNI, NL, OFB, Pets, BV, Seasons, FT), no stuff packs. No custom content included. (Ceilings in the picture made by HystericalParoxysm – not included!)

I’ve been having a lot of fun building IKEA community lot. No, I’m not a creator or anything like that, so far I’ve made only a few sets for my Sims because I don’t really have a lot of time to create. But since I think this lot has come out quite well, I’ve decided to share with all of you. It’s a fully furnished lot filled with IKEA goodies. There are two bedrooms, a living room, study room, kitchen, public toilets. No stairs, elevator only. Made for those with Open for Business to get rich!

Compatibility

I have all expansions and stuff packs so far, but I’ve only used objects from Open for Business, IKEA Home Stuff and Kitchen & Bath Interior Design Stuff. According to MTS2, you will need all expansion packs except University and from Stuff packs, you’ll need IKEA Home Stuff and Kitchen & Bath Interior Design Stuff. If you’d have any problems, let me know so I can the description.

Custom content

I didn’t use any custom content except the hidden lamps from IKEA Home Stuff, which you can download from MATY (no registration needed).
