MTS focuses on [[custom content]], most notably [[mod]]s. It also has tutorials to make said modifications. '''Mod The Sims''' (formerly '''ModTheSims2'''), or '''MTS''' for short, is an online community for ''The Sims'', founded by [[Delphy]] in May 2004. Its main focus is on the creation and sharing of [[custom content]], most notably [[mod]]s. It is also home to forums, contests, and tutorials on custom content creation. ==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?

Users are able to make a one-time donation or pay for a monthly subscription. Benefits include custom titles, larger avatars, larger PM inbox, and the ability to remove ads. For a time, users were also given the option to purchase products from ''The Sims'' series through Amazon.
