The Sims!

I've been playing a lot of the Sims lately....the first game, not the second one. It's not that I don't like the second game, it has a lot of cool features like a child growing into adulthood and being able to get married and then getting old and also moving out to University. So I'm sure I'll get into it eventually. I want to buy the complete set of the Sims 2 once the Sims 3 comes out. That's what I did with the Sims. I bought The Sims Complete Collection (the game plus the 7 expansion packs) for $60 bucks at Best Buy but I don't think they sell it there anymore.

One of my favorite things to do in the Sims is download objects that some very talented and creative people make and offer to others for free! I've found so many cool furniture sets, wallpapers, floors, heads and clothing sets in my searches.

Here are some of my favorite sites to download from:

• NightTime Sims
• SIMcredible! Designs - Some sets available only for donators
• beewitched - Sims 1 Downloads by Fairywitch
• Around the Sims - Some sets have special objects (gifts) only for donators
• Moppet Sims
• Parsimonious
• TSR - The Sims Resource - All Sims 1 downloads are free, as is registration for the site.
• The Sims Zone
• 7 Deadly Sims
• Dincer Hepguler Website - Click on The Sims box to get gorgeous furniture and build sets!
• Atelier Quebec
• The Secret Society of Woobsha - Tons of free, hacked object for the Sims.
  
• Sims Interior Design - Some objects are for donators only, but lots of free stuff.
• COMHAIR Sims Stuff
• Marina's Sims - Great Sims 1 downloads, especially build items! Not updated anymore though.
• C&C Enterprises - Free site that specializes in hacked objects.
• Gnohmon's Sims1 Goodies - More great, free hacked objects, including a staircase that allows more than one sim to use it at a time.
• The Well Dressed Sim - Some items of all the sets are free. That makes most unusable but you may find some good items that can go with your existing objects.
• SimFreaks - Some freebies, but most are for subscribers only

Oh...whoops. Did I say some? Obviously I meant a lot. :P

In fact, I downloaded a couple of things while I was posting the links here. I really didn't mean to, as I have too many objects already. So many I think, that some stuff doesn't show up in the game. I am supposed to be going through them and deleting the ones I don't like. Oh, I use a great program to view the furniture, walls and floors without opening the game. It's called SimExplorer (available on this page) and it's so handy! The next thing I want to do in the game is edit the categories that the objects are placed into. I find that only certain objects show up in the different sub-categories and that the rest can be viewed under the "View All" tab.

Anyways, I have some work to do so I best be off!
