Since these boards are going to be shut down in a couple days for maintenance, I just wanted everyone to know about a really great community! Granted I'll warn you ahead of time, most of the community are simmers who are excited or looking forward to Sims 4, but the layout is appealing and simple.
There's plenty of options to share links, videos and pictures as well! So if you're looking for an alternative, don't hesitate! I'm just a member, not a founder by any means, but I've had a really great experience there!
Join up if you feel like it!
