Giving up Sims

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

Giving up Sims

Just wanted to let everyone know I'm not playing sims anymore. So, I will be deleting my website in the very near future. I'll still check in here and see if I can answer any questions and hopefully be of some help. Its been lots of fun and you've all been absolutely wonderful :)

Thank you for all the kindness, time and effort you have put into helping people. I hope you will get as much enjoyment from whatever will now be filling your time instead.

That is sad :(
I wish you the best.
Maybe save a backup of your website before deleting it in case you change your mind someday and are annoyed it is gone.

We'll be very sorry to see you go, as a player I mean. Are you certain that you don't just require an extended break from the game? I mean, I haven't played myself in what seems like months other than to check things out for other players, but I still love TS3 and have no intention of abandoning the game entirely...

That's a shame! I feel like I only just "met" you, and you and your website have been very helpful. I understand leaving the game. I thought I was done for good in around 2014 (but some things changed, obviously). Best of luck to you!

WOW! what wonderful responses. Thanks. I do have a backup of my website and I have no intention of deleting the game from my computer at this time. So if I do decide to play again I won't have to reinstall everything. My website was mainly for storing my stories but I ran out of story ideas LOL. Anyway, I'm now playing Surviving Mars and tracing my Genealogy so that keeps me busy. This may turn out to be a long extended leave from actual play. I just wanted to let everyone know that my website will be coming down in case anyone wanted anything on there before it goes. I still check this chatterbox daily so you will still hear from me as I post hopefully helpful comments to posts. This really has been like an extended family to me, and everyone is so pleasant, helpful and at times very funny. I love you all <3

With littlelambsy's kind permission already having been granted, I am in the process of making the downloads from her site available another way. There's too much good creative stuff of hers to let all of it disappear from the web entirely. For the text descriptions, screenshots, and links to required/suggested CC and store set items, we will have to rely on the Wayback Machine.

Will post links when this is ready, both here and on the relevant "Where Can I Find?" page.

If my content host tells me that no one is interested, I will take it all down eventually. But if you want to make me (and littlelambsy) feel good, then go over there when it's ready and download a file or two every once in a while. :)

Link to downloads: http://www.mediafire.com/folder/fu0jcsj ... _Downloads

Wayback Machine link to lot/sim descriptions, screenshots, suggested usage instructions, and suggested/required EPs, store content, and CC that should survive the website shutdown:

(look under the Downloads pull-down menu for the categories)

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. :)
