TS2 - "New" Hobby: Hardcore Parkour!

(originally posted on tumblr, May 27, 2023)... and ofc some edits made for "clarity " when republished (Jan 31, 2026).

Hi. This is the first thing I'm sharing. To be honest, I feel a little sheepish about sharing anything in general. Doubly so about this being my first. Please be kind to the noob! But, without further ado… the HARDCORE PARKOUR mod!

How does it work? You tell your sim to "Practice Parkour" for a number of hours (1-4).

They will change into their workout gear, do some stretches, and walk/jog off the property (as if going to work/school/etc). Gains body, raises fun, hits hygiene. They'll return after the designated amount of time has passed, and I believe they come home if their needs get too low. (please let me know if I'm wrong on that last part?)

This is 99.7% Smonaff's 'Jogging Mod' (usually refered to as their "basegame jogging mod" in the community, since 'Jogging' was later provided as an activity by Maxis), 0.02% a Dresden Files joke (not an endorsement), and 0.01% just me cloning the mod with changed text in SimPE.

Compatibility:

Basegame: I have been running a UC install lately, but this should be basegame compatible (like the original).

Original 'Jogging Mod': Totally compatible with 'Jogging Mod,' from my testing, since I used a randomized different* GUID.

*Update, April 22, 2024: Instead of using random GUIDs (as I was advised in a tutorial), instead I'm just going to claim a couple GUID blocks and use them to give my uploads some uniformity.

*Update, January 31, 2026: I should have also mentioned that I changed more than just the GUID (pie menu strings, etc.) lol. On that note, I decided to make sure all the internal naming was unique as well, so I did that, and fixed integrity while I was there, etc. etc. There's an updated file. If yours already works, cool, but I just wanted to make sure now that I know a little more than I did... 

Traits Project: I haven't incorporated the (AWESOME!) 3t2 Traits project with this, because I have no idea how that would really work, but I'm VERY open to it if anyone has ideas. I know my 'Daredevil' characters always loved 'EXTREME!' stuff, so there's that. OH, YEAH... IT SHOULDN'T CONFLICT, BTW! 😂 way to bury the lede!

Lord Darcy's Pie Menus: No conflict, but I checked the PieMenuTextStringsFix and didn't find a submenu that I should put this under, so (just like the 'Jogging Mod') it's top-level. I will likely be doing something about that in the future, since I'd like all the exercises to be more cleanly sorted… so keep an eye out for an eventual v2 v3?

Download

I don't have a SFS acct (yet!) [update: now I do! SFS download here] so it's on MediaFire -- and here's a Google Drive folder where I'll also put everything I ever make.

Please, please, please let me know if I screwed anything up! Hit me up with any ideas, changes, etc.

If you have use for this, I hope you enjoy.

GUID: 0x0B134E56 (v1)
GUID: 0x6D0DBF00 (v2)
