Big Changes coming soon to Mod The Sims 2
Hi All,
After over a year of being online, Mod the Sims 2 has undergone quite a few changes. Originally, the site was set up to act as a modding information site for The Sims 2, which at the time, had not even seen store shelves yet. MTS2 was one of the pioneering modding sites for The Sims 2, as it provided a place for modders to collaborate in the development of tools and game hacks.
Over time, additional forums were added that were off-topic from the subject of modding. The “Community” forums (Off Topic Discussion and Sims 2 Chat forums) were added to allow users a place to get to know each other away from the modding forums. Since then, the Community forums have grown tremendously – so much in fact that they now warrant a site of their own.
Mod the Sims 2 is pleased to announce the opening of a brand new website on Monday, 11 July. This website will consist of a Sims 2 Community forum, dedicated to Simming discussion of all kinds and off-topic discussion as well. All Mod the Sims 2 members who joined MTS2 on or before 3 July, 2005 are automatically members of the new site.
In addition,
the Sim Pics forums – both the new version AND the old one with the user-created contests – will be restored in their entirety on the new website. The Sims 2 Movies forum will also be moved to the new site.
Because of the creation of this new website, the following forums will be permanently closed from Mod the Sims 2 on Monday, 11 July. They will be available for one month in “Archive” form, which means that they can be read but not edited or posted in. After one month, they will be deleted (with a few exceptions):
•Introductions (The “Faces to the Names” & “Photo Album” threads will be permanently archived at MTS2, and new versions of them will be posted on the new site)
•General Discussion•Off Topic Discussion
•The Greater Gaming World
•Computers and Tech Gizmos
•The War Zone
•Anime and Webcomics
•Sims 2 Discussion•Sims 2 Chat
•Sims Pictures (Current and Archive forums will be moved to the new site)
•MTS2 Contests
•Sims 2 Movies (Forum will be moved to the new site)
•Sims 2 Universe•Advertise Your Sims 2 Site
•Advertise Your New Content/Updates
•Finds/Where Can I Find?
•Review a Sims Site
After 11 July, Mod the Sims 2 will consist only of the Modding, Downloads, and Sims 2 Help forums.
It was decided that creating the new community site would enable Mod the Sims 2 to concentrate solely on its originally intended purpose: Modding the Sims 2. The additional site will create flexibility for the community forums to naturally grow in their own direction and purpose: providing a place for simmers of all kinds to share their ideas and get to know each other.
We hope that everyone enjoys the new community site and the new emphasis on modding at Mod the Sims 2.
Thanks to tkdjunkie for the text of this announcement, and to all our members who have supported us over the past year.
Kind regards,
Delphy
