  1. Feeling like all the areas I used to download sims 2 mods from have disappeared in the last 5-8 years. Makes me really sad I didn't back up more of my mods. Hoping my search for sims 3 mods won't be so difficult!

      @carlfatal :loveshower:

      Thank you very much! Which mod, mod author and version is it? I'm not sure why, but the link to simfileshare sends me to just the generic folder shared by simbiology, instead of directly to the mod download.

      For some reason, the night I was downloading most of the mods from simbiology, everything kind of just disappeared from the website and started routing to the link for simfileshare. It was then down, saying that it was being edited for a few days. I can finally access the files again. I have looked at all of the "full collections" for each modder, if there is a file for that, and I do see quite a few of the mods that I was looking for that were posted to forums.

      I wish I had explanations/readme files as to what they are, but I have dug deep into some of the sims 2 wikis where dedicated people listed quite a few mods, what they do and where it links to the broken website link, which is when I start my detective work going backwards from the name/description. I have found a few working locations for websites that no longer exist, usually on simsfileshare.

      I did have some luck on the wayback machine on a few websites to "resurrect" them and be able to download files from it. I remembered accessing a website for a CC creator that used to make content here for the sims 3 so I thought I would try my luck at some of the old websites. I'm not sure how the sites are saved and for how long, but some downloads tend to be buggy on this. I think this has been put into the "last resort" category.

      Many people have re-posted a new link to their old files, as I mentioned before without even saying who the mod author is. That can be a double edge sword for another topic, though. 

      Sorry for such a long response!

      @veiledstar,

      I am really sorry, that this list was not really of use for you but it is all I know. I didn´t play Sims 2 since years, mostly cause of technical issues, and to find that specific mod, - well I think, the only way is to check the whole list, or download all stuff there, and let your computer search for a specific word then. At least, that is, what I do in such cases.

      I am mostly playing Sims 3, and the only thing I can do, is searching for this mod, if you can give me at least a part of the name. Although even then I am not sure, that it is hidden in one of my saved Sims 2 documents folders.

      @carlfatal Thank you for your suggestion, anyhow! I have noticed that the link is being updated with more mods recently, so hopefully more mods will be put up soon.

  2. Anxious about tomorrow. Sigh.

  3. Can I make a general thank you thread for everyone here? And where would I put it?

      You definitely can, the Insane Ramblings section would probably be the best. XD

  4. Christmas decorating with Mom. Fun when I was 8. Frustrating at 31 with the addition of lawn ornaments. Who designs this junk?!

    1. michalien

      michalien

      Lol. I still enjoy in Christmas decoration.

  5. Cloudwalker has made my day! I have been wanting the Twallan statue since he retired and now I am so very happy to add it to my towns!!

  6. Due to health issues, I won't be dropping in on the asylum any time soon. I'm not sure how long I will be, but I hope to catch up with everyone soon. :)

      Thanks everyone. :)

  7. Finally stopped having seizures. I feel better, but don't know what caused them. Went to the ER and they were no help. I hate doctors for the record. Six months to get a second opinion. I might as well have gone to Mayo clinic if I could afford it!

      I am with you I don't really hate them but I don't really like most of them I love our vet I wish we could find a doctor for Kivak and I like her, our pediatrician on the other hand is wonderful he has done so much prevention with Cubbie and he is so healthy. Kivak and I are not sick luckily but I would really like to find a good one just in case. Keep getting better I had an aunt that had them they were caused by allergies of all things.

  8. First sim on the site! Woot!

      Sorry for all the edits. I hope you all can forgive my first time putting a sim up!

  9. Getting in some sim time after decluttering my clothing collection. If I hadn't worn in the pst year, it had to go. Shoes and purses included. I had a pitty party for my shoes and purses.

      jenniferw23

      We're not too awfully far from a Coach outlet store which means I'm obligated to buy a lot of purses at those discounted prices! : )

      LOL has 2 pairs of shoes and a pair of wellies and 1 5 year old jeans purse.

    3. veiledstar

      Most of my clothes, shoes, and purses are from high school and college. It was time to let go. I don't really like coach purses, but have been gifted 3. They are in the consignment pile.

  10. Google is on the forum? Who knew

  11. Great. The cat has broken another pair of blinds dive-bombing into them to try to catch a bird outside. I wish I had pictures!

      I cant tell you how many bottom sheets mine have destroyed by the need to kneed before laying down!

      Sounds like cat behavior. I hope your kitty learns not to do that again!

      Glad that mine is too old to be racing up curtains anymore. >.<

  12. Had surgery (minor) friday. Hubby will be gone for 3 weeks, so I guess I will need to work out how to pace myself and not kill my leg. Hmm challenge accepted.

      Thanks everyone! My cat made sure I didn't move today by sitting on my lap.

  13. I almost had to break out the bar early today. My game crashed 3 times and then refused to work. Reinstalling makes me cringe.

    1. Cloudwalker

      Cloudwalker

      clean folder not reinstall. ;)

    2. veiledstar

      I tried that. Then I just restarted my computer and it started working again.

  14. I am completely humbled by the talented people in this forum!

  15. I feel like I need a cold shower after trying one of the adult mods.

      I don't play with those type often, but sometimes I do like to, erm, explore. I don't know of many Adult ones for Sims3 though.

      We always have some kind of thread going on at NRAAS, somehow satanssprite.

      LOL. I know what you mean.

  16. I hate our medical system. They need an overhaul.

    1. michalien

      Ours too. It is a chaos.

      I guess what bugs me is "you aren't sick enough for us to treat you." Do I need to be on my death bed?!

  17. I like the Katy Perry SP in some of my games, but when I go Christmas shopping and realize that someone may have gotten inspiration from it to make decorations that look just like those in the game, it makes me feel like I may be getting diabetes from the candy overload on the decorations being sold the the store. An entire Christmas tree that looked like it was made of cotton candy with candy ornaments glued in made me feel a bit sick. That was only the beginning.

  18. Ice today and tonight. Great. After rain all day yesterday and this morning. I hope my husband can travel tomorrow for work.

  19. Just got my computer back from being repaired. I just realized that I have the folder for TS3 naughty bits on my desktop. I wonder what the repair guy thought was in there!

      He had it for 4 days, so I'm quite sure he did. Oddly all he would find in there are the package files, but I'm sure he wondered about what I did with them.

    3. Rosewin

      Rosewin

      That's almost as bad as having a folder labeled, do not open. >.<

    4. veiledstar

      veiledstar

      I moved it to my sims folder that has everything I'm not using in it. You are right Rosewin. It is almost as bad!

  20. Just took out about 10 mods, cleared out my dccache (except that important file) and some large CC after my first crash to desktop on this computer. I hope putting in Roaring Hights didn't push my game over the top! I really love the new world and venue!!

      I hope you get the problem fixed. *hug* At least the venue can be used in other worlds. Roaring Heights sure is a huge world.It can cause lag.

    3. Firestaar1

      Hopefully it helped your game

    4. veiledstar

      It seemed to help my game. It's running much better now.

  21. Just wanted to thank all the modders on here for the updates! I really appreciate it!

  22. Looking for cat jump proof blinds of sort. My mom suggested the cloth type that are more shades if you ask me. Ugh to trying to find something my cat won't throw herself into.

      I have, but with all the birds, she can't help herself.

      It's late nesting and I have 3 bird feeders, so she thinks all are for her.

      Oh! Her instincts are in high gear.

  23. Nyxie game me a great idea. Snowpocalyps for my next sim game with lots of Vector diseases including the zombie one. My sims will think I'm cruel, but I'm just testing out the rest of Twallan's mods.e

      Wow! That had a ton of typos. My apologies! I'm still tearing up over Twallan's retirement.

  24. Off to test skin and a few sliders. Am I patient enough to make a sim-self? Perhaps I will be checking in at the asylum more often after this.

      I will! I have scrapped 4 sims so far! I haven't shared anything on here before, so I'll have to look up the official rules!

      nixicole

      Main thing is that sims3packs have to be uploaded to a different site and linked, if possible. If not, I think TFM will move it to the site mediafire account for you. Have fun!

      Mich, my husband has all the gadgets he wants and has requested no more. He can't wear cologne because it makes me choke, literally. LOL Cloudwalker. You should write his name on that duster do he knows it's his!

    3. michalien

      michalien

      Sorry to hear about your allergy on cologne. My wife is allergic to some smell of my medications. two nights ago she couldn't sleep because of that and she left the bedroom. What a pity, and I was in the mood. If you know what I mean. ;)

    4. veiledstar

      veiledstar

      Sorry to hear about your wife, Mich. I'll figure something out for my husband. We decided to get each other a new computer for our birthdays and Christmas, so I just wanted something small. I'll figure something out. :)
