I do since I used to get all the custom content when I was younger from there. Like the "crazy-ish" type stuff I would use a lot and got them from the exchange. :/ Memories... Lol.
I know the game is considered "old" I guess since it's not being sold at stores anymore and all that but, don't you think they should bring it back for the simmers that still use Sims 2?
I wished that they kept the story section open, or at least archived it somewhere. I wrote a pretty funny short story about Ms. Crumplebottom loosing a fight (that she started) with Chloe (the green alien with red hair from Strangetown), but it is lost because I didn't know how to save it to another location.
Yea I used to read stories on there a lot too. There was so much fun stuff on that site... I miss it all. By the way Kaye, you could go on YouTube and type "how to download custom content from The Sims 2 site" and you can get like an over view on how it looked if you wanted to see. I would post a picture but I don't have the requirements yet. I didn't really understand how to "install" cc on there either until like the last 2 days of the site being up but I found clean installer and basically all the CC I did have from that site is gone now all because the computer fried inside with no fan working and let's just say it smelt like fire in my house until I threw that desktop away. So I always thought you installed it by clicking download then click run, blah, blah, blah... Then wait it popped up a warning about something I forgot exactly what it said but it still worked I guess... lol
I'm sad that they deleted the story exchange for Sims 2, and Sims 1 as well. I had some old, old, old stuff I uploaded and I would LOVE to see it again.
I miss it a lot as well. Not only was it a really good place for CC and houses but the stories were the best part! I remember this really long legacy story I had followed since it first started but then it had to stop since the website closed down. I think it'd be really cool if EA opened up a website for both TS1 and TS2.
Even though I played it alot, I never went through it's website because I was too young to care for it I guess, I would just play the game so I don't miss it
I miss TS2 exchange. Just like now, I love finding interesting sims from other players to add to my worlds. Wish EA would have kept an archive of the exchange though. I miss my own creations as well.
I miss the exchange so much. I remember my little newbie self downloading so much stuff from there, and I get what you mean about the crazy stuff. All types of monsters and cartoon characters as sims and in the same breath just normal everyday sims, houses galore, really unique stuff there. I loved it.
I wasn't even aware there was a forum/site at the time. Every time I bought a new pack and it asked me to register I didn't know why and had been wondering that since TS1 days. I finally figured it out when TS3 came along.

I was pretty young the first time I found out it existed. I don't remember much of it tbh, I just remember downloading mermaid tails. I have no idea how it worked and I don't know how I figured it out. There was sooo much cc though, I remember that!
I miss it too. I used to read tons of stories and downloaded my first CC there. Such good times...

Yes. I loved reading the stories on the site. It was just the best for stories.

The Sims 4 General DiscussionSpent the TS2 era mostly on the Dutch site and now for TS4 I'm back on the US one - just like I did with TS1 era.
I really miss the simplicity that was the sims 1 forum, too.

Thank you for that. I must go check it out. I just got my Sims2 Ultimate Collection (back in July 2014) and missed going to the Sims2.com website.
