Your favourite sites/creators for FREE content!

[HystericalParoxysm]

So, if you had to pick favourites out of completely free creators or sites, who would you choose? Note that this is ONLY 100% free creators and sites - no "donation" or pay items, even if they have some free stuff. MTS2 creators, other free site creators, and other free sites in general all welcome - just no pay/"donation" anything!

Thanks to pieridae for the thread idea.

[kazu]

My favorite creators are Nouk, (also her site) HysterialParoxysm (I love her sims and stuffs!) Bruno and Barcelonista for amazing makeups. Stefan for skins, there are lots of my favorite creators but I coudn't remember them all!

[Bad Kay]

I love the talented creators from MTS2 (migamoo, HP (especially the fanseefem-thingy! I can't live without it!), fanseelamb, plastic box, bruno and many many others!).
All About Style is a lovely site.

I can't think of many, but I'm sure I forgot a lot of great free sites.

[minou_master]

I actually organize most of my download folder according to the creator. :D
Here are my favorites:
(in no particular order)

Plasticbox - realistic lots made with Maxis content, great organization of space, functions beautifully in-game

Gromit - unique objects that are really well made such as the lovely skeletons

Helaene - I love her makeup and clothes

HystericalParoxsym, fanseelamb, Migamoo, Decorgal - without their line of sensible clothing, my poor sims would be stuck with either uncomfortable high heels or ugly Maxis clothing

Bruno - I mainly use his(?) formal dresses which have incredible detail

Hnote - (As far as I know the site is all free) Stylin' male formals

Kalynne06, animera - cute children clothes

numenor, Marylou - so many good things!!!

macarossi - beautiful plants, windows and door, incredibly high quality

oepu - Lovely skintones which I use as defaults and I also use her CAS face replacement

Ogularama - high quality stuff, I love them all

Kevinshope - his items will surely add realism to your game!

simwardrobe/paladin's place - love the hacks!

This is just to name a few. If I come up with more I will add them later.

[beeps]

I couldnt live without Ren's (http://www.modthesims2.com/member.php?u=177232) skintones (Louis from Sim Cribbling (http://louis.new21.net/)). Amazing-ness :D

[Calalily]

Of course, I love most of the stuff mentioned here, and think it's beautiful.

Paladin's Place (http://www.simwardrobe.com/) - best place for all the things Maxis should have made - like a fish produce packing station, a fruit produce packing station, and a working candy machine. Not to mention Servo rechargers etc.

PG Sims (http://www.pg-sims2.at/) One of the best places IMO for new gardening things - so many beautiful plants, and every time some new ones are released, I'm over there in a flash. Some beautiful fountains and garden lighting too.

Sims of Myth (http://www.sims-of-myth.com/index.htm) - Savant Immorata from MTS2's site, with all the harpies - I wait in trepidation for the new things released.

Avenida Sims (http://avenidasims.com/) Some gorgeous bedcovers, and really nice transparent tiles for floors. Clean lines with most of the stuff here.

There are many more, but these are the sites that dwell on my mind, and I hope for updates.

[pieridae]

I have so many favorites, many of which have already been mentioned :D

Right now I want to let everyone know about corvidophile2 at MTS2 (http://www.modthesims2.com/download.php?f=38&page=3&u=305362&showType=1&showAll=1). I've been downloading skintones, eye shadows and pets like crazy. He even has a kangaroo family (http://www.modthesims2.com/showthread.php?t=214849)!

[Addicted_to_ts2]

Sense I tend to go for mods my favorites are Numenor and Simwardrobe.com (I'm afraid I never learned the name (or Screen name, rather.) of that guy :( )

[love247_jo]

modthesims2.com

it has all categories and all kind of sims downloads, and creative creators!!
I can't play the game, before checking the site!!

[lomelindi]

Well, I don't think they have any donations (at least not that I've noticed??) so my fave free site would have to be SAU (Sims Artists Union) (http://coris.dothome.co.kr/) . I absolutely love the hairs there, and even some of the outfits. I could not live without SAU hairs though.

There's also, of course, mts2 (http://www.modthesims2.com/) , and I would also say SimCribbling (http://louis.new21.net/), and, last but not least, All About Style (http://www.all-about-style.com/index.html)-- my number one stop for historical clothing downloads.

[minicarrie]

Pretty much all the CC I have comes from MTS2. My favorites there are migamoo, HystericalParoxysm, fanseelamb, linuslover30, and zoej.

Some of my custom defaults are from creators at DLMulsow's Sim Antics.

[Annababy]

I love Holy Simholy's free stuff (they've got donation (pay) items too), tho the recolors I find are better than their originals.
All About style for period clothing.
Fanseelamb at MTS2 and Akeia Guinea (sp?) at TSR (they come up as freebies on rotation) for essential men's clothes.
MATY for hacks.
11Dots for great fences, though they haven't updated in ages
Neighborhood 99 has a bunch of Maxis Matching stuff.
And Living It Up.net had some great, simple recolors...though I think it's closed now. If anyone knows where that site's content might be hosted now, I'd appreciate a head's up.

[Ineedalife]

Well my favorite is MTS2, but I really liked The Sims Mod Board, does anyone know if it is back up?

[Jopet]

Definitely MTS2! :P

[ChihoSan]

http://www.modthesims2.com/member.php?u=74648
Grito at MTS2 is AMAZING!

[Cinamun]

A lot of folk drool over the hairs of Peggy, Raon and Rose. Whenever I see pics of sims they're usually donning hairstyles of one of those 3 creators. I too have hairs from these creators. But in the end, I don't care what anyone else tries to counter with..

Nouk's hair textures (key word, textures) are THEE BEST this community has to offer..
I'd put up my game and all my EPs if someone cares to show otherwise....

[Peppermint_SC]

openhousejack- tons of awesome clothing for ladies.

All About Style- It has an amazing historical collection.

Parsimonious- It has a ton of clothing and their theme list is helpful.

Enlaya- Her skintones are amazing.

Rose sims- It has alot of intresting body shop items in general.

XMsims(though I think it might be down now)- So many hair styles and they come in a ton of colors.

[carolobrien]

Parsimonious - not only for their great clothes but the houses are great too and the whole site is very well organized.

MTS2 - for just being amazing and having nearly everything you could want.

OMG cant think of any more at the mo, will have to go and check my downloads folder and edit later.

[debbycus]

Adele has not been mentioned? :blink:
Also, Ghanima Atreides, Problematique (/Flamingo/Bosie) in corporation with Bliss, definitely Nouk, Simguys, Decorgal, All About Style, plus MTS2 "essentials": HP, Fanseelamb, migamoo, Phaenoh (for replacements)... and many-many more.

[The_Oceanborn]

I think most pay items aren't any better than the free ones. They are just overrated.... But sometimes there are things I want from paysites too (the driveable spaceships, some Aikea Guinea stuff and some Rose and Raon hairs). And sometimes I just have a look in the booty.....
95% of what I donwload is free. If there was no booty I would say the best sites were:
MTS2 (the BEST of the best. You can find absolutely EVERYTHING there. Just as beautiful houses as the ones you pay for at TSR)
Noukiesims (excellent hairs. Much better than all the overrated paysitestuff. A lot of Peggy hairs are ugly as hell when you use them in the game).
Parsimonious (it has excellent clothes for the alternative sim: alien, gothic etc. And excellent makeup, lots and accessories. But I'm not overly fond of the hairs there except for one or two.....)
Insimenator (you always find varied stuff there. Everything. Even if it's not as big as MTS2 when it comes to content. But is insimenator totally free? I've seen links to pay meshes from TSR.....)
www.thesims2.ea.com (there are so many unique things there. All kinds of sims and clothes)

Hmm....
I cannot remember more sites from my head which are 100% free.

And I forgot allaboutstyle...... How could I?

[annachibi]

Yeah, Parsimonious has great room sets, too. :D And Phaenoh is the RULER of replacements! XD
Let's see... I also like simcasticdesigns.com for its matching recolors and whatnot. Quite useful.

[Jadzia7667]

MTS2 is the bomb. I get probably eighty percent of my CC from them. I also go to TSR (I have a subscription still) because their free stuff is pretty cool.

SunairSims, Parsimonious, All About Style, 11 Dots, and Sims 2 Play all rock out heartily, too. I absolutely cannot live without SunairSims clothes for women. They're unique, highly detailed, and gorgeous.

[haemoglobin]

PARSIMONIOUS!

I've been to pretty much every download page, and I must say, Parsimonious is the best of all. Their objects are amazingly individual and quirky and always VERY high quality. Some things really aren't for me, too wacky etc. but others are perfect!
I'm sick and tired of seeing all those super-modern kitchens (Which in real life, almost nobody could afford) and all that boring simplistic stuff, and all the über-frilly stuff.... Parsimonious has things that are truly special.
AND the skins are great too, as are the houses (The best houses I have ever seen.) And the best thing about it all is, every object is explained so thoroughly! You're told what expansion packs you need, what caegory it's placed in and even more... every creator should tell you that because it sucks to search for overhead cabinets for hours only to find they're in plants or something!
So yeah, that's my song of praise.

[pinklime07]

My favorites are:

Inlimite
simguys

[JanePstar]

MTS2!
The booty of course! ;)

[vapollonova_SC]

MTS2!
The booty of course! ;)
hi guys, does anyone know what happened to sexysims2 com and why they don't work? was a really good site by the way
thanks

[Sinthe]

I really just cherry-pick whatever strikes my fancy when I'm browsing different finds sites and MTS2. T$R's SA's are also worth checking out. I really like a lot of Holy Simoly's stuff, and my game would be terribly incomplete without the Booty. Then, my favorite DLs and creators saved to my MTS2 account... those are things that I would cry if I lost (some of Macarossi, Tiggerypum, Adele, Lethe_s, Lovebottle, Ephemera, and that one guy/chick's stuff). I honestly panicked when I borked one of my favorite furniture sets, whose origin I couldn't remember. Then, I figured out that it was one of Macarossi's repository technique sets.

Also, Piggi's recolors of Maxis objects are invaluable. I CAN MAKE GREEN/PURPLE/BLUE/BROWN BATHROOMS!!! 100% matching bathrooms!

[hikamiatemu_SC]

Also, Piggi's recolors of Maxis objects are invaluable. I CAN MAKE GREEN/PURPLE/BLUE/BROWN BATHROOMS!!! 100% matching bathrooms!Seconding this. I love that, with those recolors, I can make better use of the Maxis objects; I mean, in some homes, the mismatched look works (older homes, families who seem to work better with an antiquey feel), but if I'm making a more contemporary home - or trying to make a little area that's supposed to be a "brand new" housing development - it's more than just a little weird to have bathrooms or kitchens where appliances and fixtures don't match.

Clothing-wise, I'd have to say HystericalParoxysm, migamoo, and fanseelamb are my top three, but I also love some of the age conversions and/or fixes by cloudlessnights, Cocomama, Phaenoh, and Sharonsims2 (all at MTS2).

[Couriervaughan]

Simmer girl
MTS 2
all about style

[GeneralOperationsDirector]

My ***ONLY*** Sims 2 site: http://my.modthesims.info/ -- although I have to say that I do have a very few off-site items that were either included with permission or directly linked to.

[Liisiko]

This is my favorite.
http://www.mtsims-cakestore.com/

[LoonehWannabe]

Parsimonious. I now have a bunch of gorgeous Sims now because of Kate and her team.

[funeraldiner]

I love Garden of Shadows. Some great "alternative" hair/clothing there. :)

[Julieryc]

I love Garden of Shadows. Some great "alternative" hair/clothing there. :)

Seconded. Pooklet, Pyxis, et al. make awesome genetics.

For clothing, HP, migamoo, catofevilgenius, cloudlessnights, Phaenoh. Aikea Guinea, Ninika, and Adele have each made a few items I like quite a lot, too.

For furniture, Holy Simoly.

For random decorative items, I like DH Sims.

[Elvie]

My fave sites are MTS (sure! the richest resourse for anything and everything your simmies need), All about Style, XM Sims, Aussie Topenders, Holy Simoly, LianaSims, Candycream, 37Sims (I'm not sure wether it is open now), Garden of Shadows, Pimp My Sims, VitaSims. (there may be a few more, but I do not remember). I also like free objects by SimCredibleDesign, ReflexSims and 4EverSimFantasy.

[Sango_Uchiha]

I really like Parasimonious.

[fthomas]

Mod The Sims and Garden of Shadows...
EVERYTHING. These sites have amazing custom content for both Sims 2 and 3. I love these sites, so much <3.
http://www.modthesims.info/
http://www.digitalperversion.net/gardenofshadows/index.php

Liana Sims...
Such beautiful clothing and accessories! Not forgetting the very useful meshes that Liana provides! Liana even has some pretty sims up for grabs!
http://www.lianasims2.net/index.php

Pronup Sims...
Wow. Just pure wow factor. A gorgeously set up website, with everything Sims need to wear for their wedding, and any upcoming ones too
http://rosemat.free.fr/Pronupsims2/

SiXSiXSiMS...
A great 'alternative style' site. It doesn't have much content, yet the ones they do have up there, are great!
http://sixsixsims.net/

[Sparklycookie]

Here of course! *pokes favourite creator list because she has too many favourites to list*

I also like Holy Simoly, Parsimonious (One of the first sites I ever downloaded from), Piggisims, GOS and so many more.

[LoonehWannabe]

Parsimonious! I like how their content isn't wet and shiny, and how most of it is Maxis-match and meshes are include w/ the downloads.

[Hemu-Hemu]

Club Crimsyn got so many cool outfits. :anime:

[Rawra]

MTS 2 is the best site and the best creator on it is Vera Marina ^^

[DM was on fire!]

hkohkljopfhklgb man I can't pick.
I guess...

MTS. I gotta work on my favourite download section more, but my favourite artists is pretty full.
Garden of Shadows
PMBD
SimsCave
SimsWonderland! Love this site a lot. (You can see my Sims journal where I had me an SWL photoshoot with my two favourite Sims). All of their creators are on Daum too. They have lovely lovely creations. My favourite of the girls are Amily (http://blog.daum.net/piggyamily), Janita (http://blog.daum.net/janita) and Maynarakmak (http://blog.daum.net/maynarakmak).
M&T Cake Shop
SIMPLYSTYLING. Literally every furniture set they've created, I have. I wish Jope and Suza would begin creating for TS2 again. :c
LianaSims

Probably a bunch more, but those are the sites I visit the most and have the most content from.

[omgrawr213]

HERE!
Garden of Shadows - my go-to place for the grunge and/or neon! :D certainly becoming my favorite style of decorating these days...
Pooklet's DW
Simgaroop's DW (for a wealth [no joke] of retextures of custom/maxis hair)
HolySimoly
Teh BOOTY. (though I only go there for Cashcraft's wares)
ATS (only for a few things though...)

[crowmeou812]

My ***ONLY*** Sims 2 site: http://my.modthesims.info/ -- although I have to say that I do have a very few off-site items that were either included with permission or directly linked to.



MODTHESIMS AND SEXYSIMS2 ARE BOTH FROM THE SAME PROVIDER.....

[AlexandraSpears]

Parsimonious for one. I have several of Kate's sets in my folder.

iCad, tbudgett, and leesester for their windows--new meshes and recolors. I love having a HUGE LaFenetre set! Those Versailles windows look great in my DeBateau family's new house! And I love the Craftsman doors/windows.

XMSims for hair.

Liana Sims for clothes.

Those are the ones that come to mind, or are listed in the Favorite Creators section in my profile.

[Skpamd]

I would say Mod, Garden of Shadows, Sims Cave, Liana, all about style, and sexy sims. But why oh why is sexy sims not working? Every time I try to load the site I get 502 bad gateway.

[the mazoku]

Ephemera and Yuxi my top two. All the other stuff I tend not to notice that they're coming from the same creator.... :3 I'm oblivious to a fault.

[MimiSim]

I have so many favorites.. Where do I start??? :)

Mods: Pescado's mods at MATY, Squinges mods, TwoJeffs, Inge's hacks and hacked objects (couldn't live without the 4 keyholder doors and objects stay after moveout shrub), and of course the insiminator which I prefer over sim blender.

Hair: I use mostly hairs from XMSims, and also Louis from simcribbing. I also dowload lots of hair from GoS and this website.

Clothes: Mostly from MTS, Gos, All about style, and Parsimonious (also my favorite for lots).

Skintones: mostly Astiees and Oepu.

Bodyshapes: Gothplague and Warlokk.

Other sites I love: Simwardrobe, Holy Simoly, Sims Cave, lots of Asian sites, various blogs, Around the sims, PMBD (the booty), and many many more.

Over all I would have to say that my most favorite site is Mod the Sims because of the great creators here. Also, this is the first site for the sims I visited. I was amazed at the variety of great stuff for Sims 2.

[SimsVanity]

In love with Anubis Under The Sun hairs <3. Then comes XMSims and Liana Sims for clothes :).

[vhanster]

My favorite so far is Daislia, Helena, Ran for fantasy objects and CAS-contents; Tifa for make-up; Ephemera for skin tones; and for poses it's xXabbyXx.

[Ally6429]

I like ModTheSims (lol) and a place called XMSims.com. You can't upload but you can get some great stuff on there. It's where I got my mermaid outfit.

[RowenaLupin]

Fresh Prince's cars! Mootilda's Houses (can never go wrong with those! They're so bug free its nice. =D) HP for vampire skins (hated the original maxis kind) and Eris for her food downloads! I love all her varieties of foods because I have some SIms that are vegetarians, and some who are not, and I like keeping that in character, so a variety is nice. There's so many others. I have over 5k downloads most from here, some from other sites like XMSims, all about style etc. MATY is really good and cyjon's are perhaps one of my favorite hacks of all times. He gets rid of so many nuisances. =D So... one big thank you to all the creators!

[arwentroi]

I'm a download-a-holic, so this list might get a bit long. There are just so many talented creators for Sims2! I do realize, though, that many of these people have either retired or moved on to Sims 3. Here we go:

MTS, of course! I seriously owe much of my game enjoyment to Numenor :) Other creators I love are:

For Body Shop stuff: Nouk, fanseelamb, fakepeeps7, icedmango, bruno, Barcelonista, Anva, kamikitten, HystericalParoxysm

For Buy Mode stuff: khakidoo, buggybooz, Honeywell, Fresh-Prince, -Maylin-

For Build Mode stuff: alexstanton83, macarossi, leesester

For lots: plasticbox, QBUILDERZ, Xianny

For multiple categories or misc.: Mootilda, MaryLou, iCad, HugeLunatic, crocobaura, simfantastic2

Creators at Insimenator that I love: BeosBoxBoy, Marvine, wirelessguy

Other sites (some of these may be gone):

Hacks, mods, tutorials:
MATY!! I owe a big part of my Sims fun to Pescado and Lord Darcy. I heart that site.
Paladin's Place (SimWardrobe)
mikeInside

Everything else:
Parsimonious
Simply Styling
Club Crimsyn (although they took their Sims 2 stuff off the site. It's still available at the Graveyard)
Garden of Shadows
All About Style
Calalily Sims
Pronupsims
Moune's Neighborhood
Avalon
Tarox
Cool Sims
Simcastic Designs (unfortunately this amazing site closed last year)
Piggi Sims (sadly, this site is also closed because Piggi passed away last year. She contributed so much to the Sims community and will be missed.)

[minpinz]

the booty

[zaia72]

MTS2, All About style, Garden of Shadows, Parsimonious, Komosims, 4eversims... I like only the websites whick propose free contents for good quality.

[Tanivaris]

I should never have clicked on this thread!!
Its making my already swollen downloads folder get bigger!!


On a side note My faves are MTS2, Cool Sims and way too many for me to keep track of

Creators i love: HP,Nouk,Bruno,buggybooz,Fresh-Prince, Maylin, leesester

[Yazoo]

Here is my list and my favorite creators:

Mod The Sims:

darkwytche2006: he did an amazing job on this house I so desperately wanted. And it literally came out perfectly. I felt as if I was in that house when I played the Sims.

Adele: For her amazing pieces of art.

HystericalParaoxysm: Of course I love her clothes, :)

Kalynn06: I love her clothes as well. I have a lot her clothes actually :)

LizzLove: If it weren't for her, I would have some massive jealous fights and crying.

BloodPledge: I have her scars, and it makes my Sims look like they have been in battle :D

Inlimite/Mickey:

Alright they have amazing hair and outfits. In fact, most of my hair that I've gotten came from Inlimite/Mickey. I am surprised no one put them up. Lets see, I have four different hair styles in my game because Inlimite/Mickey.. Soon to be a lot A LOT more :D

Garden of Shadows:

A great place to get a lot of alternative clothing. In fact I have a lot more clothes from them and a few hairstyles from them as well.

Aikea Guinea: I LOVE HER! I literally love her, because of her amazing clothing. I have a lot of her clothing in my game, when I get new clothes, usually most of her clothes are going in my Sims cart, I honestly love her style.

Gelydh: Yes yes, she has amazing taste as well. I love her clothes as well. I tend to make my witches wear her clothes over the modern witch outfits. I do not use cheats or anything. Just put my Sims in her tattered dress instead much much better look.

Yuxi: I love the gender conversion of hair styles. I have a few of Yuxi's work as well. I must have my tomboy Sims, and Yuxi surely delivered some of those hairstyles.

MsSpookyness69: I love her "Love You To Death" attire. As soon as I saw that, I immediately downloaded it. I fell in love with her clothing right then and there.

But yeah, those are my main sites that I do download from. They are just purely amazing. :)

[smorbie1]

I MUST quit reading this thread! I am trying to stop downloading so much since I am a downloadaholic, and OCD to boot. This usually means if I visit a site, I have to have all of it.

[jones7659]

All of the above, and as my sims are always of an entrepreneurial mindset, I like RetailSims a lot too.
