OpenTS2 Progress

Ignore the odd looking cursor. Seems to be an issue with the screen recorder, as it looks fine otherwise.
Recently I sat down and put a lot of work into OpenTS2. The main menu is finally in, alongside the splash music, neighborhood chooser, etc.
All of these assets you see, minus the font as it's currently a placeholder until we figure out the font format, are loaded directly from your TS2 files. This means no copyrighted files are distributed, keeping OpenTS2 on legal ground and easily moddable, just like the original game.
Saving is also implemented. A lot of work has gone into low level stuff such as resource and memory management. This means the edits I made to the neighborhood names and descriptions in the video not only stick, but also show up in regular TS2:

Obviously there is still a TON of work to be done, but IMO this is a pretty great milestone :)

I'd love to do this, but it would be very hard. It's a good idea, but yeah idk if and when I'll attempt something of that size.
F.A
Hi there Lazy duchess! I don’t know if you take on requests but I have a mod idea that I’ve really wanted for a while and I don’t think that someone requested it before. Can you please make a mod that introduces fears to The Sims 3? I’ve wanted fears for a long time ever since I’ve played seen them in 2, and I think that they would add a lot of depth and challenge into the game, I’m requesting you specifically to make this mod since I think you the only that’s capable of doing it tbh.
