Welcome to my Sims 2 Blog!

This blog is to keep track of all my Sims 2 (TS2) stuffeths. I mostly "build" - houses, apartments, recreational, and community lots - but, I also create walls (and murals), floors, terrain paint, and various other recolors. And I've written a few tutorials too. 😁

All of my items are available through Mod the Sims - MTS2: CatherineTCJD.

Most of my stuff is also posted on Tumblr: A Peacock's Tale.

And I'm slowly adding things to Simblr: CatherineTCJD.

I also have an archive of everything I have made on SFS: CatherineTCJD.

Thank you for visiting!

Buyable MP3 Player as a stereo; Handheld Game as an electronic game!

Buyable MP3 Player as a stereo; Handheld Game as an electronic game!

As it says on the tin, this little organizational tweak simply takes the in-game MP3 player and LeTourney XS Handheld Game, and makes them buyable from the catalog - AND - recategorizes them to their proper places in the catalog. Well, the "proper" places according to me anyway! LOL!


INGREDIENTS:
- Each one is a separate file, so you can choose only one, or both
- The buyable MP3 Player is found in the catalog under electronics - in the audio/stereo section
- The buyable Handheld Game is found in the catalog under electronics - in the entertainment/games section
- If you want the cellphone too, please get it from either Neder or Cyjon (links below) - as both of them have it, and it's already in the correct category.

INSTALLATION:
To make it so the CC-star/asterisk doesn't show up (it's an in-game object, after all!) put these in your "Bins" folder. That's where I keep mine and it works great!
Install here: C:\Program Files (x86)\EA GAMES -or- OriginGames...\Fun with Pets -or- whatever-your-highest-EP-is...\TSData\Res\Catalog\Bins

There are other similar mods to this (I found, after I figured out how make this by myself Note to self: check what's out there first!) but they are not re-categorized as I have done with these. My mod works the same as theirs; but they kept both items in the catalog with telephones. If you have other mods that make these 2 items buyable, or recategorizes them somewhere else in the catalog, please remove those mods before using mine.
Two similar mods that I am aware of are:
Neder's on MTS2
and Cyjon's on his site

Defaults should work fine - especially if you've put these fixes back in your ProgramFiles/Bins, and have your defaults in your regular Download folder.

Polygon Counts:
MP3 player = same as Maxis
Handheld Game = same as Maxis
