The Sim Supply



The Sim Supply (TSS for short) is a community for sharing creations for The Sims 2 and The Sims 3. The site feature mostly lots & housing and are well-known for their video tutorials.

History
LebenSim, as it was formally known prior to December 27, 2009, was infact founded as a small building group on ModTheSims2 in March of 2008. Sir_Stan, a member at ModTheSims2, was the member who jump started the entire group, he, however, never appeared again after his original post. Once the original members of our group had been set (choccy94, Flabaliki, mauriemom, PenChris, Sir_Stan, Solloby, Pokedude9777 and Deluxe Designs) we proceeded to set up our own free website to allow us to share our projects and creations with the public (Original Website).

When June 2008 rolled around, the group had made the decision to purchase a hosting package and set up their own site. Flabaliki decided to cover the costs and develop the site further. Nearing the end of 2009, the group decided to pick a new name, one that was easy to pronounce, and actually had a meaning to it. They came up with, The Sim Supply. With that, on January 1st of 2009, http://thesimsupply.com was officially opened.

TSS as it is now, was revamped and remade from the ground up in December of 2009, and then officially updated and opened on January 1st 2010, one year from the sites original opening date.
