Upcoming ideas: e.g. New TS2 Expansion Pack

Next to making new custom content I am also very busy with thinking about new ideas to play in game.
I have found a way to have a new TS2 Expansion Pack or at least sort of. It's actually that you need some certain CC to make this work. It's not that you need to install a real expansion pack.
I could tell you more about this already, but it's really quite long and will need to be posted in several New Idea posts to cover it all.
So stay tuned: https://s2idownloads.blogspot.com/2018/07/new-faq-how-to-stay-tuned.html

How to Post to S2I

If you want to post on this blog yourself (your stories, creations,...). Here's how:

The old tutorial about posting to this blog S2I has been deleted. It might have been a bit too complicated to easily post to the blog. So I decided to make it way easier for you to post on this blog yourself.

You don't need to be a creator to post on this blog. You can write your stories, share ideas, discuss The Sims, ... as much as you want in a new blogpost.

Tutorial:

Mail the text, creations, images,... you want to publish on the blog to these 2 addresses:

s2i.request.publishtoS2I@blogger.com and s2i_request@hotmail.be

The post will be published within 48 hours.

Don't forget to sign the post with your own (nick)name to give yourself the credit.
If you upload a creation, you have to write in the post how people can contact you about it!

How to upload your creations on S2I

1. What information on the creation should you write in the text of the blogpost (the text the visitors of this blog will see)?
1. A summary of what the creation exactly is (career, food, skin,...). E.g.: How you created the creation, how the creating went,...
2. What EP's and SP's does the downloader need to use this in game?
2. A screenshot is absolutely needed (but you can add it as an attachement).
3. Give proper credit to any content you didn't create yourself. (Google is never correct for giving credit)
4. End the text with your (nick)name to give yourself credit.
1. Also mention how people can reach you when they have questions
5. E-mail the text with your files (in attachment) to both emailaddresses:
1. s2i.request.publishtos2i@blogger.com
2. s2i_request@hotmail.be
6. I will publish your blogpost then as soon as possible (48 hours)

These are the bare minimum things a downloader wants to know before wanting to download.

So this really has to be in your blogpost before I upload it.

If you're in doubt, check the many blogposts I wrote to upload careers, food,... Your upload needs to be something like that as much as possible.

You can also contact me with any questions about this.

P.S.: To become a writer on this blog with your gmailaddress, just send me an e-mail about it with a reason why you want to become a writer on my blog. Then I will add you as a writer officially in the settings of the blog.

New FAQ: How To Stay Tuned

There are many ways how you can stay tuned on things I create:

• Facebook
• Sims 2 Idea
• Lien Lientebollemeis Requests
• Twitter
• Google+
• You can find this at the left of the blog. Scroll down a bit:
• Follow this blog S2I Downloads
• Follow by email
• Subscribe to Sims2idea

I have a Tumblr too, but I am not very active there. I sometimes post screenshots, but that's kinda all.

I used to upload a lot on MTS, but now there's SimFileShare I feel it's easier to only upload on my blog. I really don't have time to maintain two websites, let alone three (Blogger, MTS and Tumblr) so I will stick to Blogger and sometimes Tumblr. I still am active on MTS's fora though. 

How to contact me:

• There's a form at the left of the blog. Please, use it to contact me.
  I will get back to you within 48 hours.

New FAQ: What to do with (un)installing issues?

Underneath is what I would do if I'd have (un)installing problems with my game. I use an installation with all discs so I am not sure if this works for the UC, but it's worth a shot.

When you want to uninstall your game, always use Revo Uninstaller (found at www.ninite.com ) and then run CCleaner (found here: https://www.ccleaner.com/nl-nl/ccleaner/download ) for extra cleaning the register. Don't look into program files to manually delete the gamefiles UNLESS you KNOW what you're doing (and then you wouldn't be needing this blogpost in the first place.)
Also delete the complete EA Games folder in my documents (maybe back up to put your saves back later, but I would recommend a completly clean restart of playing when reinstalling). (Also look at the important essentials when starting to play again: https://s2idownloads.blogspot.com/2018/01/the-important-essentials.html )
Then try to reinstall the game. Run the game and only really start playing and adding CC until you're sure the game is fully running.


If this is not working, you'll need more technical help and I'd recommend to contact EA Games about it.

New announcement: Taking some time off

For the next two weeks I am planning to take some time off from creating. Maybe that I might have some time to play the game, but I really want to focus on stuff in real life for a while.
Don't worry, I still have my phone with me to check messages, tweet some things and be on Facebook, but I won't publish creations for two weeks. I will however post blogposts about past creations I made years and years ago (I have been creating for +8 years) and maybe you find some things you didn't know I made and that you like.

So stay tuned for fun creations (from the past).

New Essential Food: Steak Frites and Dame Blanche

These are two typical Belgian dishes. I requested them a few years ago to AriesFlare at MTS because I can't make new meshes myself and I just love her creations.
You can find the original upload here: http://modthesims.info/d/569752

New Essential Lot: The Royal Palace of Belgium in Brussels

Normally I wouldn't say about a residential or other lot that it's essential, but when I was looking for new creations for Theme - Belgium this week, I felt this is really it. The thing I needed to publish today. 'Cause today it's the National Holiday of Belgium.
I present to you (though created very well by !jolien! at MTS) The Royal Palace of Belgium in Brussels
http://modthesims.info/download.php?t=345033
It's not actually where our king lives, but it's where he works in our capital city.
I think it's very well done, and most of you know me: It has no CC!

New Hood: Belgium

So for the Theme - Belgium of this week (tomorrow it is the National Holiday of Belgium) I wanted to create Belgium as a neighbourhood. It was really not easy because The Sims 2 doesn't accept diagonal roads, but I am really happy about the result. It's recognisable even if you don't really know the country.
You don't need anything to use this neighbourhood. But don't put it in your downloadfolder. You should put it in the folder EA Games/ The Sims 2/ SC4Terrains

Past Blogpost: Food - Chicory Ham Cheese Casserole

This is a famous Belgian dish. A lot of people just love it. To be honest... it's one of my least favourite dishes, but then I am a very picky person when it comes to food.
If my sims were as picky as me, they would all be starving.
Anyway this is something really typical Belgian so it can't be missed this week.

Enjoy!

Past Blogpost: The School Project

The School Project I started in March is based on the school system in Flanders (part of Belgium).
It looks a bit complicated but it's really not. It are just teen careers and as the hours are during the morning the teens can't go to regular school so you need to change that.
Further the careers (which are actually fields of study) ask a lot of skills from your sims so it's best they have already the skills needed when they turn into a teen and start this field of study of choice (career of choice).

Any questions let me know!

New Clothing (Toddler): Bib Belgian Red Devils (red)

Belgium ended third in the 2018 Fifa World Cup. So I thought for Theme - Belgium this week a bib for toddlers with the logo of the Belgian Red Devils would be very suitable. This bib has a red border.

Theme - Fashion

One of the categories of creations I really want to get on again is Fashion. I want to create more clothing. I created clothing for every lifespan and I want to create for adults and teens again instead of clothing for babies and toddlers.

Here you can find everything under the category Theme - Fashion: https://s2idownloads.blogspot.com/search/label/Theme%20-%20Fashion

Here are all creations ever made by me for the category Clothing - Adult: https://s2idownloads.blogspot.com/search/label/Clothing%20-%20AF

New Way To Find New Custom Content

I heard from some downloaders that it's a bit hard to find something on my blog again.
There are many ways to find my creations on my blog:

• Labels:
• Themes
• Clothing
• Food
• Careers
• ...
• Older creations: At the bottom of the blog
• Here you can find all blogposts ever posted by date

But the easiest way to find all my creations is (for what I believe) Overview All Creations

It's one spreadsheet with on each sheet a different category of my creations.

I now started a series of New Overview Creations where I put a spreadsheet of every category seperated.

If there's anything you can't find, you can always contact me by the form on the left side of the blog.

New Idea: Four in bed

Four in Bed (I don't know if it's translated correctly) is a TV-show in Belgium about four B&B owners who go to eachother's B&B and give marks for hygiene, hospitality, available trips, food and breakfast,...

You can compare it to the show Come Dine With Me that I described here: https://s2idownloads.blogspot.com/2018/05/new-idea-come-dine-with-me.html

Of course your sims don't really need to have a B&B to play this idea. You can just have a (regular) sleepover and give marks for that. The winner in the show gets a plaque of Four in Bed.

I hope you'll enjoy playing this one.

New Creation idea: Rock Paper Scissors Lizard Spock

This may look something very simple, but it's something I didn't know how to start myself and I wanted it for a some time. And then clsve created this for me: http://modthesims.info/download.php?t=614207

It simply changes "Rock Paper Scissors" into "Rock Paper Scissors Lizard Spock". Nothing more than that.
I came to this idea when watching The Big Bang Theory lately. I started to really love the show.
So I really want to thank clsve for creating my idea.

New Idea: The Odd Couple - Pilot - S1E1

This idea is based on my idea to analyse every Friends episode.
In general the idea is to give you one episode per blogpost. In every blogpost I'll shortly describe what happens with the main characters of The Odd Couple in that certain episode. SPOILER
You can then play this in the game as you wish.
I don't know The Odd Couple as much by heart as Friends so I haven't written a main blogpost about it (yet).

General happenings season 1:
Sloven Oscar Madison (Matthew Perry) and the organised Felix Unger (Thomas Lennon), two friends from college, become roommates again after their wives leave them. Not long after they move in together, Oscar realises his mistake. Oscars assistent Dani and his lifelong agent Teddy have their hands full to keep Oscar on track while he's working as a sport radiohost, while worrying about his new living situation. Fortunately, there is the idiosyncratic neighbor Emily, who helps Felix to get used to his life as a single man and to keep his hosophobia (fear of dirt and germs) in control. Despite the fact that they sometimes make eachother crazy, they agree that after their divorce they can make something beautiful out of this absurd situation.

Pilot - S1E1
After each of their wives leaves them, old friends Felix and Oscar are reunited when they decide to move in together. Oscar treis to show Felix the brighter side of single life, but he may not be as happy as he seems.

Oscar: He is divorced after his wife, Gaby, left him. He works from his apartment. Oscar has put his mail in Casey's mailbox so she might come over. He was already flirting with her in teh elevator. He enjoys being single again. His friends Roy and Teddy (his agent) come over to watch the game.
He and Felix fight over how clean Felix is and he scared away Oscar's friend.
Oscar is getting a little emotional when Felix shows Emily pictures of their trip to Hawaii with their wives. Oscar proposed there.

Dani: She's Oscar's assistent

Casey: She lives downstairs. She does come over to bring Oscar's mail, but she knows it's a trick. She goes in for a drink, but the apartment looks like it's where the garbageshoot goes.
She, her sister and OScar and Felix are going on a double date. Her sister, Emily, has an emotional rough time too.

Felix: His wife, Ashley wants a divorce after 20 years of marriage. They were in couples council for 8 years. He doesn't want to be free. He thinks it's a trial seperation. He stays at Oscar and he cleans Oscar's apartment. He's a real cook too. He seems a bit gay. He scares Roy and Teddy away when they came over to watch the game.
He plays the cello and he's like a photographer.
He has a fight with Oscar again for showing the pictures of Hawaii to Emily and he spends the night with her and Casey. He and Oscar patch things up as Oscar admits he misses Gaby.
He does Yoga.
