==History==
Its sister site, ''Sims 2 Community'' appeared around July 2005. The purpose of this was to alleviate the social threads on MTS2, so MTS2 could focus on modifying the game. However, in May 2009 MTS2 and Sims 2 Community were merged into one site again. This was because staff on both sites felt that the line between the two sites was blurring and disliked having to send people to the other site constantly to have their questions answered.{{fact}}
At the release of ''[[The Sims 3]]'' in 2009, they changed their name from ModTheSims2 to Mod The Sims and started to host modifications for that game as well.<ref>''"ModTheSims3? MTS3? Sims 3 Custom Content? We're not going anywhere! MTS2 is renaming to ModTheSims and expanding for TS3 content. Accept no imitations - this is the official ModTheSims site!"'' As seen in their newsbox.</ref>
Forums for ''[[The Sims 4]] ''opened in 2013, and the ability to share creations became available shortly before the game's release.<ref>[http://modthesims.info/showthread.php?t=502635 Anyone know Simlish?] Published May 6th, 2013</ref><ref>[http://modthesims.info/d/532472/michael-jackson-updated.html Michael Jackson - Updated] Published Sep 1st, 2014</ref>
