I wish we had a program that could look over the download folder and pick out any corrupt files. Like how CI shows up red for hacks, maybe they could show up green or something.

I wish there was a program to create collection files for walls & floors. I went as far I as technically can with COLLwiki

You mean from outside the game HL? I've never tried - can we hide walls and floors from the catalogue? Because if we can, I'm totally making some specialist wall collections for myself. I'd hide all Psychosims for a start - great though they are, I find scrolling through them a PITA when I'm looking for a nice wallpaper.

It's a cool idea and it's a shame that Maxis didn't really do anything with it. |
Romance Skill is a mistake that only appears in SimPE not in game. The value is actually Sunshine Motive for Plantsims. If you open a neighbourhood and raise a sim's Romance Skill then check the extended browser you'll see that you have just raised the sim's sunshine motive.

It's too bad that Collection Creator can't make collections for walls and floors; sometimes I want to segregate them by creator into collections using the actual folders so that I don't have to sift through everything in Build Mode where they're sometimes separated from each other. We can hide walls and floors from the separate catalogues but they'll still appear if you choose to display everything.

Ah - that's useful info.
My that's a rather complicated tutorial. The one I wrote for that (and the way I do it with objects) is much simpler.

I think another way to hide walls/floors would be to change the flag that says "showincatalog". I would think this is preferable since this is how EA did it in the wallpatterns.txt files

If I remember correctly, 0x00000002 under showincatalog? Sorry, maxon, I didn't know you had a tutorial for that, so I decided to look for it. Oddly enough, I actually somehow do it your way without having ever read it before.

I must admit, no I don't know where you're heading. But I agree, 80s hair is hilarious and we should have more of it in game. A lot of the Sims 4 hairstyles actually look very 80s (possibily due to the stylization and being ginormous when compared to the Sim's head)
Like this one: https://delcowebneytwo.tumblr.com/p...to-ts2-slightly
Which I suppose is meant to be natural curls but really looks like an 80s perm.
Just for fun I made this one pink/purple so that one of my Sims can look like a member of Jem! and the Holograms:
Truly, truly outrageous!

Eh... look up "Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego" on YouTube. Great old gameshow. Loved it, and Rockapella really sold the show :D

Yeah, well I learned how to do it from years of poking about with files so I'm sure others are quite capable of that too. So don't apologise.

I'd like to see pets react more to ghosts. I can see them hissing or growling at them, though I expect the ghost would just ignore them.

It looks really puffy because it's a Sims 4 conversion and unfortunately Sims 4 hair looks as if it's carved out of wood.

Not so much a hack, but it'd be cool if on MTS, you got a PM when a download you liked gets a re-upload.

It looks like a lot of things
However, despite that I'd really like to see a lot mor Sims 4 hairs converted for Sims 2. It can fit rather nicely and some people also provide more natural textures.

Grades and jobs should be totally unrelated. Dustin Broke is a thief during the nights and a babysitter during the mornings (Brandi had twins)... It is not fair that he was fired because of his grades! Um, hello, he is missing school because he is working and so is Brandi and there are like five mouths to feed in that tiny house. He was a thief! A THIEF. Since when must you have acceptable grades to become one?
And yes, I know there are plenty of school mods out there, but most of them conflict with those I already have. Keeping my teens' jobs with a huge red F in their examns is something I would definitely love to see.

You could maybe use Inge's keyed door mod to do this. It globally adds 4 "keys" to every door so that you can assign only certain Sims to a given area of a lot. It's on this page at Simlogical. Maybe it'll work on a community lot while your playables are on it, if you give keys just to the NPCs on the lot (so long as there are four or less NPCs) and then lock it for everyone else. Just, you'll likely have to do it every time you visit a lot since community lots don't save. I've never tried it, so I don't know for certain that it'd work. But it might!
For my own wish: I posted this as a wish on my Tumblr, but I thought I'd stick it here, too, in case any BHAV modder out there wants to take a look at feasibility. I wish that the reading to toddlers/kids interaction was joinable, so that one reader could read to multiple kids at once by having the reader asking other kids to join a reading session or by commanding Sims to join a reading session in progress. Kind of like how it works with the "Hang Out" interaction. Bonus points if the interaction would fill any currently-existing wants for reading to or being read to for all participating Sims. I've been playing in my age-modded neighborhood where kids are kids together for a long time, and it'd be nice to be able to get all those sorts of wants filled in one go instead of an adult having to read to each kid separately.
I'm mostly found on (and mostly upload to) Tumblr these days because, alas, there are only 24 hours in a day.

Something that would randomize each sim's vocal tone within certain parameters. You could control how many tenors, baritones, countertenors, basses, sopranos, mezzos, and contraltos are in each neighbourhood, and even adjust the voices of playables. You might make them inheritable or the like, or just plain random, so a Bjork-voiced sim could have a daughter who sounds like Cher or Allison Moyet.
