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}}

http://modthesims.info/

Mod The Sims (formerly ModTheSims2), or MTS for short, was founded by Delphy in May 2004. MTS focuses on custom content, most notably mods. It also has tutorials to make said modifications.

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.[citation needed]

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.[1]

They also have a section for The Sims 4 mods since the day of its release.

SexySims2 requires its own registration and features The Sims 2 and The Sims 3 content as well.

Donations

MTS costs about $2200 USD a month to keep alive,[4] therefore they are asking for donations. People can make a one-time donation or become a monthly recurring subscriber. There is also an option to buy The Sims series products through 'Amazon' on their site.
