I've started this a few months ago and put it aside because I couldn't get the poly count down to something reasonable, and I also needed a good sound, finally I got it working with a reasonable poly count.

The face count is 5114 but it does span over 2 tiles so it isn't to terrible. If you don't have a lot of memory for your game this may not work good for you. I had no problems with 4 of them on a lot at the same time. You have to forgive the missing section of the actual blade as that portion would make it way overboard for face count.

It must be placed on terrain to place it on the lot and is found under Hobbies/Misc for $2500 it does not depreciate.

Issues:
Sims may get on it backwards or sideways, you have to play with the placement to get them to ride it properly. Sorry I haven't figure out this problem.

The sound does linger for a minute or so after they stop riding. I decreased the length of the sound but I just coulnd't get it perfect.

I have created a base game compatible version that should work for any combination of EP and/or just the base game. Please download the NoEp version if you do not have Free Time.

The Free Time version gives Sims Enthusiasm for the Outdoors.

Both versions Sims will gain Cleaning Skills when riding it.

Enjoy!

I have had several requests for this the most recent was from Majin.

Children have the option to ride it, pet it and all sims have the option to make it eat, graze or play the whinny.

Children also gain fitness and body skills when riding it.

It can be found with the exercise equipment.

The main mesh is black and I've included a black and white recolor.

Poly count is 2728.

I have updated, my favorite computer by Christianlov's, to the current Free Time EP.  I recently found the following quote by Christianlov, so I feel it is ok to post my updated version.  I have been updating it for my own use but didn't realize I was free to share it.  




This computer has so many great options, I may miss explaining a few.

My favorite part is giving the Sims the option to learn all the skills at the rate you choose in the options.
They are also able to power chat to gain freinds faster.  Be sure to set the options to your desired speed each time you purchase one of these computers.

I have set the turn off option to non-autonomous..I've always hated that sims constantly want to turn a computer off that is in use.  They will however turn off the computer automatically when they are finished using it.

The Order photos is also non autonomous.

Play Games is non autonomous.

I added the option to purchase a Vacation Lot for free.  The menu will tell you the cost of the lot but no money is subtracted from their total.

Christianluv had an option to purchase a business for free.

I've added the find a pet job.

I've included the blog and brouwse options, but I left the options to blog and browse the web autonomous, if anyone want's them non autonomous please let me know.

The Easy Computer job finder allows you to pick the job you want from all the available job types.

I added the vacation options that came with BV and all the options that came with Free Time.

I also removed the all the options for visitors to use this computer.  

I believe this should work for any combination of installed EP's,  If anyone finds it doesn't please let me know.  I did test it in Pet Stories and did not have any problems with it,  I imagine if you choose an option not available in that EP it could cause a problem.

Enjoy!

Global mods to eliminate autonomous baths, bubble baths and bathe toddlers.

I left the shower option autonomous.  If anyone wants that type or prefers object mods please let me know.

Do you hate that Sims are constantly leaving the trash laying around? I do so I created these hacks to work with Free Time. Both versions include the tinker option that is new to the FT EP.

Compost and Empty Trash are set to non autonomous.  You are able to direct the Sims to Empty/Compost the trash.

If you prefer object Mods as opposed to Global Mods you have your choice.

You can use both types Global or Object Mod but you really don't need both.

I hope so of you find these useful.

I have an Adult sized Unicorn for Adults, Elders, and Teens with 2 ride gaits, it also will graze, eat and play a light whinney sound.

The pony is for children it has only one ride option with the graze, eat and a pet option.

I had intended to add more animations but with the new EP and so many things to update I am just not able to add more at this time. I've also had to put my toddler playground set on hold as most of the items are not working with Free Time.

Body skill and fitness is gained when sims ride either of these unicorns.

Both items are found under Exercise Equipment.

Credits to:
Thanks to Rougue for the texture, and Shaklin for her original rideable item.

Enjoy!

Note: I've found another glitch for toddler use.  They must be dressed in their pj's before they try to use this bed.  I will try to come up with a work around but until then please have them in pj's to use it.

Free Time EP is required for this to be used in your game.  The actual bed is cloned from a base game but the textures for the frame are pulled from the maxis single version.  All recolors of the single version will work with this mesh, because I've used the repository technique for both the frame and the bedding.

This EP has lots of changes in the way items are coded.  All of my previous beds will not work for toddler to use because of the way the codes have changed.  I did make this bed useable by toddler to do so I had to add global animations to it.  I didn't actually change the global setting only included it as for some reason it wasn't finding the animations without it being included in the package.

I have found a lot of custom content is not compatible with the new EP, so be sure to check for updates for those items that don't work for you.  If you find one of my creations not working for you and I haven't updated it yet, be sure to let me know, by private message preferably.  Please realize these update will take some time to get finished.

Comfort/Energy are coded for 12 the same setting as the crib.

Enjoy!

A couple of recolors of Hope's Aubree Gear Set Meshes.  I made a mistake in the swing coding that made it not recolorable, thanks to the_evil_writer for reporting this error, so please overwrite the swing mesh if you've already downloaded the meshes.  I will include the new swing mesh with this post.  

These recolors also match the recolors of Hopes Jack Toddler set.

You must install the mesh files for the recolors to work.

I created this for Sierra per her request.

I've cloned Echos doormat to allow it to be placed pretty much anywhere.  It is designed to fit a table.

I've also included a few recolors.

Enjoy!

Note:This will conflict with my first toddler social mod found here http://www.insimenator.org/showthread.php?t=73806.  You need to remove that from you download directory if you have it.

This mod is for those that might not want their toddlers to ever follow parents around.  I have disabled the option for toddler to look for ways to fill their social needs.  My first version only set the need be lower than the maxis default.  If all of the toddlers needs are above 80%, toddler will follow the parents around.  I personally prefer to have one that I control the social needs, but you would want to be careful not to let their needs get too low.  

When adding a new hack,I highly recommend that you check for conflicts with the Sims 2 Hack Conflict
Detection Utility found Here under Sims 2 - Programs.

I hope some of you find this useful.

This was created for a request by GamerFreak07.  I also find it annoying that toddler want to follow the adults around excessively.

I don't totally elimainate the toddlers need to search for socialization, their needs have to be at about 50% before they should have the desire to go looking for someone or something to fill the social need.

I created this coffee table per request by Lily Whyte.

It will require Pets EP because I cloned a pets ep coffee table, the textures are pulled from the maxis Gliteri endtable.  If you have recolors of the endtable they will also automatically work with this coffee table.

I hope some of you will find it useful.

Ploy count is very low at only 520 faces spread over 2 tiles.

I created this endtable per request by Lily Whyte.  

It will require Pets EP because I pull the textures from the maxis zip zap coffee table.  I believe there is a 4 color that I don't have pictured.  If you have recolors of the coffee table they will also automatically work with these end tables.

I hope some of you will find it useful.

These were requested by Lily Whyte.  She has made a donation to Insim in thanks for my creating this, which I really appreciate because I don't have funds to donate financially.  I can only donate my creations.  Thanks very much Lily.

The double bed requires Teen Stuff Pack,  the single bed requires Bon Voyage EP. For matching bedding recolors please download my single tss goth set here: http://www.insimenator.org/showthread.php?t=72904

I use the repository technique to pull the bedding.

I've added a green recolor of the bedding and added it as a sperate file in case you only want one size of the bed.

I set the jump on bed to be non autonomous and made it useable by toddlers.

I hope some of you enjoy it.

The photos show an imperfection to the headboard post just below the little knob.  I did fix this but was to tired to redo the photos.
