The domain was renewed in June 2015, but both domains expired again in June 2017. As of January 2018, the site is no longer available.

'Paladin' created the site in 2001, but the site was not updated after October 2nd, 2008. However, most links still function. In late June, 2011, the site became unavailable for a while, but is operating again as of mid-July, 2011. The site ~~also features~~featured 'fixes' for [[Maxis]] created [[Glitches\|bugs]], custom objects and a few lots. It also featured custom objects for ''The Sims'', almost all of which were located in three "lofts" that used free hosting services. ~~Only~~The services used by "Loft 1" and "Loft 3" no longer exist. Most of the pages in "Loft 2" could still ~~functions~~be viewed, but the hosting service it used no longer allows the objects to be downloaded. The objects can be downloaded at [http://www.simthing.net/sims1/swobjects.htm SimThing.net].

As of January 2018, the rest of the site is no longer available, with most of its contents having been archived at [https://simfileshare.net/folder/15672/ Sim File Share]. ~~==Advertisements==~~ The site features many in-line ads by [http://www.google.com Google].▼ ==Ads== ▲The site features many in-line ads by ~~[http://www.google.com~~ Google]. ==Tools and mods== ===The Sims=== These tools do not require installation other than being extracted to a folder. However, since they are older programs, some require extra Visual Basic files which may not be present in versions of Windows later than XP. ====SimWardrobe==== The site's namesake program. This tool, for ''Hot Date'' and later, allows players to change the [[clothes]] of a playable Sim or [[townie]]. All clothing types can be changed. The player will be able to select which type of clothing to change, and will be able to scroll though a list of available meshes for that type. Line 47 ⟶ 49: This tool allows players to extract [[NPC]] character files from the Maxis FAR files, and change the clothes and head of those NPCs. ====~~SimCategorizer~~SimCatgorizer==== This tool allows players to change the price of an object, control where it appears in the catalog, and select which available [[Sub-neighborhood#The Sims\|community areas]] it will be available in. Players can also edit the description. It can extract individual object files from a FAR file. (Note that this does not remove the file from the FAR.) It can even edit object files inside FAR files, though editing Maxis FAR files is '''not recommended'''. Players should note that object files in ''The Sims'' may contain multiple objects, and SimCategorizer '''cannot''' properly edit these files. ====SimWallCat==== Line 63 ⟶ 65: ===The Sims 2=== These tools do not require installation other than being extracted to a folder.

The download links in the archived post are dead. An update noted that, as of April 2007, it appeared that Vista would retrieve the missing DLL; however, it is not clear if it will currently do that, or if later versions of Windows will do it. ====Hack Conflict ~~detection~~Detection ~~utility~~Utility==== This tool allows players to scan their mods for ''The Sims 2'' to see if any conflict with one another. The tool lists conflicting mods in the order the game loads them. For instance, if Mod A and Mod B modify the same code, and Mod B appears below Mod A in the utility, the code in Mod B will be used in the game.<ref>http://simswiki.info/wiki.php?title=Load_Order</ref><ref>https://modthesims.info/t/478024</ref> Players should note that it has been known to stop responding if switched to the background. ~~This tool allows players to scan their mods for ''The Sims 2'' to see if any conflict with one another.~~ ====NPC Replacer==== Line 87 ⟶ 90: ==See also== [[Tool]]s {{clrr}} ==External links== [http://simwardrobe.com/ SimWardrobe]{{Deadlink}} *[https://simfileshare.net/folder/87829/ SimWardrobe's archived mods] at Sim File Share ~~{{rl-stub}}~~
