There are a million mod sites in the naked Sims city, but long ago I swore allegiance to Mod The Sims 2. It’s big, it’s 100% free, and it has a great community and excellent support for all modders, from newbs like me to the top names in the game.
Many of us were sad when, months ago, site admin Delphy announced that MTS2 would not be continuing into Sims 3. But now that policy is reversed, with this joyous announcement:
As you probably already know, the release of The Sims 3 is right around the corner! With the release date quickly approaching, we wanted to share some important info about the future of MTS2.
Fear not – we’re not shutting down or closing the site or anything like that! The same downloads, tutorials, and game help will continue to be available. We will still accept Sims 2 submissions, and discussion on TS2 will still happen over at the community site. We have no plans to discontinue any site features or functions related to The Sims 2 – now, or in the future.
We’ve long said “We’re not doing an MTS3″ and that’s still true – it’s not going to be called MTS3! Instead, MTS2 and the associated sites (Sims2Community, Sims2Wiki, and SexySims2) will all be joining the new MTS Network of sites which will cover TS2 and TS3 (and beyond?)!
You will not have to register a new name or anything like that – the existing sites are just changing to allow for Sims 3 stuff too!
ModtheSims2 is now Mod The Sims. Sims2Community is now Sims Community. Sims2Wiki is now Sims Wiki. SexySims2 is now Sims Adult. Domain name changes are planned for many of the sites – existing links will all still work, and will just redirect so you don’t need to change any links you have now.
Delphy also announced a logo contest for the new network; follow the link above for info.
For anybody still playing Sims 2 ( /raises hand ), MTS2 creators are still churning out fabulous brand-new CC.
You'll need a butler to keep this shiny.
My favorite recent addition had a big update today: Phoenix Phaerie’s Manor House Kitchen now comes in a rainbow of colors and has added matching appliances (and Seasons compatibility for the fridge)! And remember, what happens in your sims game stays in your sims game, even if you don’t heed her dire warning:
These sets not meant for mixing and matching, but to create coordinated appliance color suites. In other words, don’t let me catch you with a Pumpkin stove and a Cobalt dishwasher!
Everything this very talented modder does comes highly recommended.
BTW, modest as my own mods are… I just checked my stats, and discovered they’ve been downloaded more than 15,000 times :O Moral: you want instant fame and glory? Upload a Sims mod today!
