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[edit | edit source]

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.

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.

Content[edit | edit source]

SexySims2[edit | edit source]

While adult content and less risqué content used to be in the same place, adult content was initially moved to a different section of the site and later given its own site, SexySims2, for people who want to spice up their game in a different way. SexySims2 requires its own registration and features The Sims 2 and The Sims 3 content as well.

Availability[edit | edit source]

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.[2]

Awards[edit | edit source]

Apart from having Featured Artists, Featured Downloads and Picked Downloads, MTS also feature prestigious awards for their most valued artists.[3]

LATTE - Lifetime Achievement for Tools/Technical Excellence.
This will be given to people who write tools for all to use, and those who generally help in various ways in the community. Without their tireless efforts, we wouldn't be here at all.
MOCCA - MTS Outstanding Continued Creative Achievement.
This will be given to creators who have consistently produced excellent work, as well as those who have broken the boundaries of creative content.

Donations[edit | edit source]

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. The benefits of any of these actions range from custom titles, larger avatars, larger PM inbox, removal of ads and a warm fuzzy feeling. All content on the site is free and does not require donating.
