Whats That You Say? ITS A MUFFIN ON A STICK!( )b

What’s that you say? IT’S A MUFFIN ON A STICK! ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)b

Until I figure out how to make my great idea come to life, I’ll share my default for the “leg of a lamb” sims feed the cowplant.

There are two versions to choose from and University is required for both. If you have pets installed, you can choose to use the repo’d default (it’s repositioried to “accessorypettoystick_txtr”) and if you’re using my default toy stick, it will pick up that default as well. If you don’t have pets installed, it’s the file with “_uni” at the end you want. The stick texture in the university version is from my toy stick default, since I didn’t see a reason to use EA’s original texture. 

The muffin is repo’d to “toyovenmuffin-surfaces-cooked_txtr” (in both files) from basegame, which makes these files very small. If you use my default for the muffin, both files will pick up that as well (in my previews both my defaults for the muffin and stick is used). Yay for repo’d stuff! :-D 

The muffin looks a bit off-center in my previews, but I’ve fixed that now! I was just too lazy to re-do the previews, hope you understand (; ´༎ຶㅂ༎ຶ`)b

Remember you can only have one default replacement for the leg of a lamb (😢) in your downloads folder at a time! Both files have been compressed to reduce file size, and do let me know if you encounter any issues :-)

I'm a tiny bit confused about the fruit bowl. Do we need both HL's file and your file that go into zCEP-Extra in the Sims 2 folder or do we only need your edited one? I understand the part about needed HL's file that goes into program files but the other part I'm not sure.

Hello anon! :-D sorry! I should have been more clear :-)

My file (vegankaktus_HL_CEP_bg_fruitBowl.package) should replace HugeLunatic's original (HL_CEP_bg_fruitBowl.package) in the document’s CEP-extra folder. I'll update my post and include this, to reduce the chance of future confusion.

Thank you for sending me this ask anon! And do let me know if I'm still a bit too vague :-D

Just wanted to drop in and say that I have a lot of asks to reply to (on packrat as well), and I will! As soon as I come home :-) I’m currently preparing for a exhibition with my class, and I don’t trust the tumblr app enough to reply to them on my phone.

TL;DR: If you’ve sent me an ask, here or to packrat - I’m not ignoring you! I’m not home atm, but will reply to you asap :-)

I'm so excited for your food replacements! The horribly ugly, low res and unappetizing chef salad, chili, cereal, mac n cheese and so on have been the bane of my simming existence.

If you’re the same anon as from this ask, I’m so sorry for my late reply (;´༎ຶД༎ຶ`) your ask got burried deep down in my drafts (unintentionally!)

Anyhow! Thank you for sharing my excitement anon!! :-D I can give you some shitty milkshape sneak peaks of the foods in question (͠≖ ͜ʖ͠≖)b

Chili con sin carne:

EA’s chili con carne literally look like purple-tinted dirt..

Cereal:

Why did EA name it ‘cereal’ and then gave it a müsli texture? And WHY does it have some sort of tinted filter/overlay?? no thanks.

(I tried adding some milk parts to the texture but couldn’t get it to look good. I might try again in the future)

Chef salad:

Fixed some mesh problems as well.

Mac and cheese:

Sorry anon, but I kinda like EA’s macncheese texture 😳 I did scale the texture using photoenlager so it’s a bit more detailed. I might look into using another texture in the future, no promises though :-)

Keep in mind these are all still early WIPs!

I’ve replaced their “foodprep/tray” resources as well, but I won’t show them now. Probably sometime in the future when I feel like I’m at a stage in the process I can show them haha :-D it’s a big project and I haven’t touched it for a while, I don’t know why exactly, but I recently started poking at it again and am so excited! ( ´༎ຶㅂ༎ຶ`)b

This is a small (it’s literally 3kb!) default replacement for the baby bottle (and smartmilk) using txmt resources from ATS’ baby bottle for @dinalandgraab :-) 

I made the yellow rubber top (is there even a word for that part?) a bit more vibrant and while I was at it, I edited @midgethetree’s vampire baby bottle mod to fit my default + gave it its own rubber texture. Midge’s mod is not necessary for my default to work, but it requires nightlife (and other mods from Midge - 1, 2) since that’s when vampires got added to the game.

Oh and also! You might be interested in Marhis' "smartmilk maker not on counters only" fix!

This has been on my to-do-list for ages. I can’t say I’m 100% happy with the result, but for now I’m okay with how it looks. Otherwise I would poke at this for all eternity (; ಠㅂಠ)b

This is an edit of @hugelunatic‘s CEP-extra (I fell in love with that bowl!) which means this should be placed in your Documents\EA Games\The Sims 2\zCEP-EXTRA folder. You still have to download HugeLunatic’s HL_CEP_bg_fruitBowl-programfiles.package file though from the link above.

Edit: sorry if I was a bit unclear! In other words: my file (vegankaktus_HL_CEP_bg_fruitBowl.package) should replace HugeLunatic’s original file (HL_CEP_bg_fruitBowl.package) in the document’s CEP-extra folder. HL_CEP_bg_fruitBowl-programfiles.package file is still needed! And should be placed in the program files folder :-)

I extracted the pineapple + pear from TNW’s 3t2 fruit hat (I edited the pineapple texture a bit to remove most of the shadows). The apples and oranges are extracted from seasons. The bananas are by soloriya (warning T$R) which @alienpod​ kindly extracted for me<3

I also included 6 recolors of the bowl and 1 green recolor for the bananas. Since I couldn’t fit everything into one texture (milkshape’s scale system in the texture coordinate editor is not my best friend) and ts2 can only have two subsets, I decided the second subset would be the bananas. If I ever figure out how to scale mappings easily without any distortion, I’ll try again. But for now, this is the best I can do :-)

My bowl recolors can be used with HugeLunatic’s original CEP-extra (just skip my banana recolor and you’re good to go) if someone would like to use my recs but not my new default.

All files have been compressed to reduce file size, and for my recolors you can choose between merged and separate files. The CEP is required for this to work, and remember you can’t have any other default or CEP-extra for the fruit bowl in your downloads folder while using mine! Let me know if you encounter any issues :-)

Polycount

EA’s original polycount: 1160

My default’s polycount: 4112
