    Hey, I thought there used to be some 'smart lighting' mods by Numenor or someone just as great, where lights turn off or on when Sims enter a room in TS2? Or did I dream it? You know like in TS3 or TS4 they go off when Sims leave the room unless you leave a light turned on.

    I'm just going to put this mod here, because ... Wow this is great !
    If you played sims 4 parenthood, you know that it's a great GP (well, for those who like it) and this mod add the said GP into the sims 2 ! :o

    Does anyone know if there is a download of the Sim State University terrain as a regular neighborhood?
    I really like the road layout but the game only allows you to have the pre made one, not even create a blank university with that layout!

    The lighting and the Parenthood conversion mods sound so cool :o
    I'm glad we have this kind of thread where we can discover cool mods :)

    Thank you! Sometimes when I use MTS search feature nothing pops up so I appreciate the link!

    Check MTS, and if you can't find it, I'll extract it for you.

    Hi, I looked around MTS and couldn't find anything. I also don't have any knowledge in how to extract neighborhoods so it would be awesome if you could extract it, thank you :)

    Shouldn't take too long, I've just gotta look up how to save the terrain preview photos... :)

    Is anyone using or know of a ligthing mod like TS3 had for making the days longer (daylight hours extended, not dark until 9PM) and not getting dark until much later past 6:00 P.M. ? There are plenty of lighting mods but I haven't been able to locate one that extends daylight hours for TS2.

    Various scriptorium/radiance based lighting mods have been available for a while, though you will probably want one updated for Seasons. Once you've installed radiance, you can get various color tweaks, including A World Lit By Fire (one specifically for historical neighborhoods... your avatar made me think it was a good idea, lol.)

    An alternative/update to the radiance mod is the ambiance mod, which has files for dawn and dusk here.

    Happy simming!

    I appreciate your links, and did read the notes and instructions to all three links, but I didn't really see anything in any of them that says they altered the hours of when the sun rises and sets. The dawn to dusk one still has the times set as the game by default. Maybe I missed some notes somewhere about chaning the hours of when the sun goes down.

    Oops, I'm a LLama brain today, I thought you wanted it to change the light, not the hours! (Also I don't have any of these in right now because I couldn't pick between them...)

    I imagine that it can be changed - I just don't know how one would go about doing it. Too bad Numenor retired...

    Hmm how about some spa day esque items? Yoga mats and mud baths maybe?

    Also anyone know if the corner seats in the Sims 4 c&d expansion have been converted?

    I'll keep an eye out for these and post back (it may take awhile until some does convert this stuff) since I use a lot of converstions from many games in my TS2. I may run across them and let you know. They may already exists but not sure if they do or not. ETA: This site does a lot of conversions: https://linacheries.tumblr.com/post/156629918484/4t2-misc-object-conversions-these-are-super-random

    I know a Tumblr that index all ts4 to ts2 conversion ( http://ts4tots2conversions.tumblr.com/ ) You might found what you want (but i'm not sure, i haven't checked)

    I know I have seen the yoga mats and corner seat converted, but finding them is problematic. Most converted stuff is done on Tumblr, not the friendliest to google or any other search. This site has downloads that have been released for 2, a lot of tumblr ones, but going through it all will be time consuming because there is no way to narrow down what you are looking for.

    I'm gonna drop this here: https://ts4tots2conversions.weebly.com, you can click yourself through categories and it will take you to different pages that might have even more TS4 to TS2 conversions.

    Oh nice find! I had no idea there was a conversion site for 4.
