Hehe - I found the site accidentally while searching for something. I certainly didn't plan on getting involved with the Sims 2 community (I come from a very hardcore FPS lanning and competition background) - but MTS2 popped up on my search. I immediately liked its irreverant attitude and the fact it embodied what game modding is about - you do it for love, not for money
Plus it had the word *Mod* in the name and heaven knows I love modding ANY game - I even modded special console backgrounds by request for Quake 3 and made skins for Q1, 2 and 3!
Anyway I signed up as member number 99, started sticking my nose in everyones business, was honoured to be asked to be a moderator, was flabbergasted when I was made an admin, took a break and came back as a mod again =) Back at the start there were only 2 admin, that is all. I was the second mod taken on. Imagine trying to run it like that now!
This site has always been the focus of discovering how to do things for TS2. The first thing I used was Delphy's Neighbourhood Camera hack =) The utter joy as Pescado fixed the many horrid Maxis errrr *features*. The utter joy when Phervers sent me a little package of 4 new floor tiles to test, the ecstasy of recolouring Maxis objects - and wondering why RGiles and Numenors heads didn't explode, Clean Pack Installer (I spent months manually updating the hack list as they were released - UGH) and
SimPE changed my ocd affected life and gave me a great excuse to download as much crap as I could. Then meshes!! (I remember us cajoling Delphy in staffchat - *go oooooon work on that you won't regret it!) Remembering boblishmans first meshes and how making them recolour enabled was HARD! And always, always waiting for Numenors next best thing to make our buildings look fantastic - so excited I built a glass castle, had just jumped on to upload it and saw he had totally revised the the window walls and I had to redo EVERY wall panel with the new style windows =) I remember us discussing Daisyies, LyricLee and CynicalChick as mod additions in staff chat when things started to get a little out of control - I really wish I could take back my votes of yes!!! Mwahahha - I may not be on often atm but I *AM* still an utter bitch girls =)
But through it all there really has been one constant, amazingly dedicated, often grumpy, a few times threatening to quit person - and that is Delphy. He didn't sleep so that we could have a great community site. When I would see people whining about this and that and the site it made me want to poke their eyes out - then perhaps they would appreciate that yes, the site IS free, but it doesn't build and maintain itself so hey stfu yeah!
So really my birthday wishes go to Delphy - and if he is super lucky it will come with a hug against my great pair
