Thanks for posting these links as I recently got UC after only playing sims 2 once or twice in the past and I just bought the sims complete collection so I play the first series
Wow!! I spent so much time on that site. I loved reading player stories. I remember this site so much more than TS1. The TS1 website is back in the day when we still had dial up Internet and I was never allowed on because it cost too much money. Ha!
Some of the old "The Sims" websites still exist and my advice is to always keep a backup of all of your bookmarks as you can use them on the Wayback Machine. It likes .html entries.
I found 2001+ bookmarks on an old usb stick the other day and found a lot of stuff still available.
Oh my God I used to love the original Sims website. I've been very nostalgic lately and went searching for this site; only to find it no longer was around. Thank you so much for posting this!
Many thanks for posting this! Lots of fun, many of the buttons still take you places, and a reminder of what a The Sims site should be like. At least we still have the forums, but the rest of the current version is pretty much just company propaganda.
It was nice to see that old site again. I remember I always looked forward to Thursdays to download whatever treat they'd put out there. Then "Livin' Large" came up, which contained most of the stuff we previously got for free. xD
The Gingerbread Family, Snowflake Lodge, Black Valentine, and the others are there.
Also, for anyone still playing Sims 1, dollmaker's Sims 1 Houses site is closing soon on yahoo groups.
Dollmaker_Sim_ Digs : https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/DollMaker_Sim_Digs/info
All the houses are well built and use Maxis objects only, no custom content. Lots of houses to choose from.
Grab them while you can!
*Edited to add that I made a new thread about this site closing so more people would see it.
