More Awesome Than You! (MATY) is a forum- based Sims community. MATY was founded by J. M. Pescado on July 14, 2005.

The site focuses mainly on providing mods for The Sims 2 and The Sims 3, most of which are created and maintained by the site's founder. Mods generally focus on either fixing bugs or removing annoyances, though a few add new features. Currently nearly all of Pescado's effort is dedicated to AwesomeMod, which is effectively a compilation of improvements and tweaks to The Sims 3.

MATY is not the most idiot-friendly community; forum members are not very forgiving of people who ask questions which have already been answered repeatedly, fail to show any desire to find things out for themselves, or generally behave in an immature manner. Newbies are encouraged to "LURK MOAR" in order to get a feel for the forumers' often pointlessly rude style of communication and heavy use of slang which is found nowhere else on the internet. However, reading the forums and downloading the content does not require registration.

The site is also notable for distributing The Sims 3 Store items for free and stripped of DRM.

The site has its own wiki (internally called wikka), which features information on some of the available mods
