Are you tired of making the same old boring jokes whenever your sims mention pearl necklaces, sumo wrestlers and hot stew? Do you wish the kids would talk about something else than weird monsters and math?
Introducing: Talk to me: a speech icon replacement mod
Lol, sorry, I couldn’t resist >< Anyway, I have made a thing ^^ “Talk to me” is a default replacement, replacing (almost) all speech icons with TS4 speech icons.
I got the idea for this mod when I saw Simbury’s beautiful regency game with period appropriate conversation topics in the speech bubbles. I search for that mod, found it, and was bummed I don’t play a period game. So I decided to make my own replacement mod. And after months of careful testing and tweaking, I guess it’s ready to be shared.
Because of the amount of pictures, I’ve made a Livejournal post 🙂
I mean, this game has been out for TWELVE YEARS and I never cease to be amazed by the creativity of members of our community. This year we’ve had everything from animated skies to lightedhood deco to stunninghorizons and everything in between!
Whether you’re a new creator, longtime vet, or someone who disappeared for awhile and found their way back to our community…
I appreciate the hell out of you. ♥
THIS! Absolutely this.
Also, I’d like to add a shoutout to the TS2 community in general. Creators, storytellers, picture-takers, and people who just play the game and share pics of what they do, all of us. I think the community is just generally awesome and nice and collaborative and all that. I see the bickering and drama in other branches of the Simming community, with petty yelling about “stealing” and “copying,” and people getting all proprietary and thinking that it’s OK to be paid to make stuff, and people having downright feuds over petty crap, and God-knows-what-all-else, and it just boggles my mind that people are like that about a game that encourages creativity.
I know the TS2 community had its drama when it was the only community, sure, but I can’t help feeling that all the genuinely nice and helpful people stuck with (or returned to) TS2 (Well, except me. IRL, I’m kind of a jerk, but I practice being nice online), while others moved on. And maybe it’s just me, but from what I’ve seen, the newer games seemed to have sucked in a bunch of petty drama-queen teenagers…or adults who have yet to grow out of that mentality. Yeah, I know I sound like I’m being all, “Damn kids, get off my lawn!” but I’m really not because I know there are many young people in the TS2 community, too. I mean, I’ve seen some of the ages of people who follow me and of people I follow, and I have grandkids almost their age. So it’s not an age thing at all. It’s an attitude thing. And I think that the TS2 community has just been filtered down to a bunch of good people with great attitudes and “community spirit,” and it’s really, really awesome. And I love you all. 🙂
What Fi and iCad said! I could never feel more welcome in the newer game communities; Sims 2 fans are a bunch of cuties! This community is so welcoming, friendly, helpful, creative, the list of positives goes on! As easy as it is to complain about the community being small, you have to admit we are a tight-knit bunch. 😀 Hugs (and maybe even kisses!) to everyone!
Also ditto. (Except that I’m not a jerk in RL, I’m an extreme introvert – so I practice being social online 🙂 )
All of that ! Except as @celebkiriedhel I’m an introvert too, hypersensitive
empathetic
autistic person who feels so lost IRL because I don’t understand
wickedness and dramas, maybe that’s why I feel so good here now, as in a refuge 🙂
YUS!
I adore the sims 2 community with all my heart c:
I’m a very shy person and I was supes worried people here wouldn’t like me, but everyone has been so incredibly kind and I’m very happy to feel welcomed by people I’ve looked up to for years ;w;
And huge love to @shastakiss for making this awesome banner. As always, your sense of fun and creativity shine through. Thank you so much!

The mesh was a bit trickier to find (many just linked to the exchange, which I know I did not download from ahahaha), but here is a de-customized unlock on MTS: http://modthesims.info/d/263640 which requires BV
I hope these links are helpful :3
First thing’s first, before Lillian can get pregnant again, Priscilla at least needs to grow into a toddler to save her parents some work! Luckily, her birthday came quickly!
“Lilly, darling. I believe we both know I’m getting old and running out of time.”
“Daddy, don’t say that.”
“But I must, and therefore I have one last request.”
“What’s that?”
“Since Luther wants little to nothing to do with us or our family, I humbly ask of you to bear me a son.”
“I will be happy if I never see another cat ever again in my life.”
“You say that every time. Uh, what’s with the cloth?”
“Oh, it was on my face, but once its work finished, I moved it up on my head so I could see. My mom used to do that all the time for me and my older brother when I was a kid.”
“Your brother gets like this too?”
“Heh, yeah. It’s from my dad, apparently, just like the inability to grow a beard. Don’t you have something than runs in your family like that?”
“Hm, I never really thought about that. I mean, from my mother’s side, most of us have double-jointed thumbs. Well, except Lillian, and she’s not too happy about that. Uh, we also share a fondness for imported chocolates.”
“Wow, you rich people sure are boring!”
“Well, what am I supposed to mention? Acne only showing up on our backs and never the face during those awkward teenage years?”
“Haha, really? Now that’s the weird inherited stuff I was looking for.”
“I didn’t know it was all too different from anyone else’s.”
“Well, y’know *yawn* unique genetic chemical thingies. High school *yawn* biology stuff.”
“Antihistamine finally kicking in?”
“’Mmmmyeah. Think so.”
“I’ll go put Francesca to bed, then. Good night, Beau.”
