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!

Change Max Slope Value - Mod to Place Lots on Forbidden Slopes

Cross-posted to MTS and Simblr.

Change Max Slope Value

Do you want to place lots where you want them? Regardless of a steep slope? Then this trick is for you!

- When you place one of the game's empty lots down in your hood - this mod allows lot placement without changing the terrain. Empty lots will no longer automagically flatten; you will be able to build according to the lay of the land.
You can build off the side of a cliff with this mod!

- When placing lots from the LotBin (pre-built lots) - you can place them on slopes, and uneven terrain without issue. This will not change the terrain inside the lot; it will conform the terrain around the lot to match.
You can populate the "ridge" in Belladonna Cove with houses now!

I modified this file and began using it in 2016, or so. It is definitely safe to use!

DOWNLOAD @ SFS

INSTALLATION:
1 - Download the modified file.
2 - Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection\Fun with Pets\SP9\TSData\Sys (whatever your highest EP is; mine is UC)
3 - Find the "Neighborhood.ini" file (not the NeighborhoodTerrain file!)
It should be 3kb in size.
Rename it to Neighborhood.ORIG (to back it up; should you ever want to revert.)
4 - Put this file in it's place. Done!

According to Gunmod:
The terrain doesn't get heavily modified (unless slope is more than 45 degrees) and lots are still place-able. As an added bonus the land gets more realistic smoothing.
