The original catch all. General game help, banter, things you should probably put in the correct forum, This is the place.

Feel free to host it here if you should need to. We're pretty blessed with image storage. Other file types are on limited storage due to Dropbox but a few hundred MB won't break us.
The content was over 2 GB. I'm happy to leave it on my MediaFire account unless or until there is a reason not to (like for some reason others cannot download). But that happens to be the same file host littlelambsy was using.

I understand that very much. I also had a gameplaytime off, was deep into reading books, after work , in the evening I absolutely had no power to turn on my computer at all, because I use the PC all workday long, lol. Now I do both, reading and playing sims again.

I just looked through your website and saved me some very helpful pages as PDF. Thanks for your tutorials ;-)

Have fun with Surviving Mars, looks interesting. I f.i. look forward to the next settlers game release 2020

Littlelambsy, sorry to see you leave, if even for a while. You had some great ideas that I used as well. <3

I play Cities Skylines a lot too, (it's part of the Paradox family as I'm sure you know) so I'm not always on Sims. Thus I do get needing a break from things. In fact it was needing a break from CS that brought me to finally trying Sims just a couple of years ago. When I saw it was being offered on Steam and on sale for $4.99 I figured I could safely try it and see what it was all about. I started on the Steam website asking questions and I got more snarky and even downright mean comments than answers. Then Igazor invited me to the old website where I met all of you and found a new group of kind people from all over the world. These last few years it's been a pleasure to come and talk among friends, things are not so warm and welcoming in the US these days, (understatement of a lifetime!) so it's been nice to be reminded this doesn't reflect everyone or even most people and Sims have kept me from watching too much news and losing my mind. :-o

Anyway, enjoy your break from these simple-minded Sims and we will see you around from time to time. :D

Thanks everyone for all your wonderful comments, I'm feeling all warm and fuzzy with so many kind words. I probably do need a break from playing sims but never a break from all you wonderful friends. So I will still be checking into this site and helping anyone I can with game issues. As for my website its no longer needed for the purpose I originally made it. So I won't be keeping that.

igazor, thank you for hosting the content of my website, I'm glad my creations will live on :)

JohnL83, I agree, this is the most friendliest, kindest and most helpful site I've been on. As you said, many other forums are very nasty, sarcastic and unnecessarily rude.

C-Dark, I'm glad you like my tutorials. I tried to make them as simple as possible for others like me who need visual and step by step instructions. I also made them so I wouldn't loose the information and had them all in one place. But again, it was all the helpful information I got from players here that enabled me to put them together. I love the animations of settlers, it looks well done.

I have never spoken to you before but I have visited your website at least once a month to get ideas for gameplay and building especially your new approach to University. Will be very sad to see it go but I understand when you feel its time to move on. Hopefully your downloads gets hosted here as Chain_Reaction offered. I pray you have a blessed day wherever you are in the world!

Bah! Take a break from Sims and come back if and when you feel like it. That's what I do. :D
