Non Adfly cc? «12...Next Go

duhboy2u2

As my title asks, does anyone out there know of some good maxis match sites that do not hide their content behind adfly? Its so frustrating to download bunches of cc and have to wade through all of the adfly stuff. Feels like 10 minutes of downloading takes hours with them. Not to mention that it always makes me feel like maybe my pc will get infected with tons of adware and viruses just because of them. Is that a reasonable fear or is it safer than I think and just a pain in the plumbob?

I agree with you, you're totally right to worry about viruses, because the risk is real. My computer started downloading malware with Adfly and Mediafire and I had to force quit. And that's with AdBlock on, plugins disabled, and malware URLs blocked, because they use so many different URLs that you can't effectively block them all.
What kind of stuff are you looking for ?

duhboy2u2

mostly maxis match and clay hairs. I don't mind getting my clothing non maxis match and just going to simsresource for it because the links are relatively clean and don't take a decade and a half to get to the download but the alpha hairs, while beautiful, are frustrating in how they break certain careers (try finding a blond suspect as a detective with alpha hairs...nightmare)

Also, I like to have my genetics pass on to my child sims and its hard to know if they are correctly passing with alpha hairs because they are rarely binned with ea colors and will default to some other random color.

Candyd

I can't help you much then I download almost only alpha hairs. I hope that you manage to find good sites for clay hair.

duhboy2u2

Thanks. I've had luck finding several creators with beautiful stuff, but sadly almost all use adfly now and while I get wanting compensation for your work, it can be frustrating to wade through. I'd personally rather donate to the site or do a money subscription to them than deal with the possible threat of malware.

Candyd

I totally agree. Especially since there are people who like to donate.
Personally, I've used for a nonprofit organization site (as a webmaster) integrated affiliation links. People buy products on sale on well known sites with a donation included in the product's price at the same time. Everybody wins And it's so much safer than Adfly and Mediafire.

For maxis match hair try this tumbler: http://sadnessimmer.tumblr.com/post/143270079884/sweet-taco-plumbobs

I have and use many of them.

Just chiming in to say that, although I love their stuff, Deetron Sims does in fact use Adfly, so I no longer download their cc.

Bananas_45

WHOOPS! Thanks for catching that @loubyloulou!

duhboy2u2

Thanks for the list and all the great ideas! So sorry it took me so long to respond. I've been away from the game for a short time because of work. So nice to come back and find such a great bunch of info to help me along my sim journey

CitySimmer16

I live fore content from simontherope, he has THE BEST male maxis match content and does not have adfly!! I cannot create a male sim without his content anymore

lasummerb

I don't like it, but I use ad fly skipper extension. I also have malware bytes along w/ McAfee.

DoctorMeow23

If you guys use google chrome, get an adfly blocker. That's what I use

Livinity

How do you get a malware with adblockers and adfly blocker though? Now I'm paranoid...

CitySimmer16

@Livinity Usually there's like an ad at the bottom of the blue bar at the top, and there are those pesky malware ad when there is a pop up saying that there is malware on your laptop and it tells you to call this number to receive 'microsoft' help. It's pretty much one of those microsoft scammers

CitySimmer16

It doesn't actually download malware on your laptop, it just says there is malware but it actually isn't

Livinity

I'm aware of those, thanks though. It's just that it's not the first time I hear about malware even without clicking anything suspect, with adblocks installed, and so on. I don't feel safe to do the cc shopping sprees I used to do, sadly. Now I only download what is strictly necessary.

lasummerb

I have McAfee, Malwarebytes, Ad fly skipper for Chrome, and ad blocker plus.

zombiesue

That sucks. I think it's nice that creators can get paid for their hard work, but it's not going to work if there's a malware potential.

BrownGamerGurl1

Wow that happens to me all of the time.I know its not actually malware, but its very annoying. And is hard to get the window to close without closing the browser completely. It's such a waste of time.

RoseyPoseRose

I know what you mean. It makes me so frustrated how adfly is used for everything even though it is so bad. I tried downloading cc and then adfly showed up and redirected me to a site that got me flagged by the government. The only website that I actually trust not to redirect me without my consent is modthesims.

RoseyPoseRose

Actually nevermind. I don't trust modthesims either.

Simsophonique

I am sorry for people who got malwares and viruses through ad.fly, some ad.fly cc I can't download because ublock and noscript blocks them.
I can't help you with MM sims 4 cc I don't know a lot I wish you the best.
