ModTheSims (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.
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.

SexySims2
While adult content and less risque content used to be in the same place, adult content was initially moved to a different section of the site and later given it's own site, SexySims2, for people who want to spice up their game in a different way. SexySims2 requires its own registration and features Sims 2 and Sims 3 content.
Availability
Only members can download from and post on ModTheSims. Membership is free as it is their philosophy to provide their service at no cost to the user[1]. There is a donation button and 'MTS2 Supporter/Fan/Addict' monthly subscriptions. These are optional with the only advantages to having a subscription being less ads, a larger avatar and a custom title.
