Mootilda, thank you for giving us that part of you that wanted to help, that wanted to make everyone's game more enjoyable. You were truly remarkable in your talent, generous in spirit and wonderfully kind.

Shine on, friend.

♥
 

oh, well this is a sad turn of events..good bye mootilda.. We all miss you

I don't tend to check the front page, so I only just found out about this after noticing a post about it on Back Alley Sims.

This is terrible news! I didn't even know that she was ill. I use a heap of her stuff, especially the Hood Checker and Clean Installer. I remember her helping me to understand the Hood Checker error messages when I was getting a ton of them. I also remember that just about every thread involving problems doing or understanding stuff had a post from her in it trying to help. Now just clicking the thanks button seems insufficient for all the stuff that she gave us. So, thank you Mootilda, for everything that you have done!

I just finished looking around various sim sites that I frequent and it's amazing to see how many have tributes to her and how many people knew her. Back Alley Sims, Simbology, Affinity Sims, Plumbbob Keep, Insimenator, MATY. MTS just won't seem like MTS without her; it's like someone removed part of the site permanently.

My condolences to her family and friends and I hope that wherever she is she can take all her sims with her (with all bugs fixed) and still look down on the crazy stuff we do here from time to time!

Too soon. Rest in peace, Mootilda!

I love her work and will miss her wisdom. May God's blessings be showered upon her family, friends, and all who loved her as they mourn her passing. This is indeed a terrible loss for the Sim's community.

I didnt know her but this is very sad, rest in peace

I have not logged on for a long time. I decided to log on today because Sims4 is out. I have belonged to Mod the Sims since several months after its inception. Those of us who have been here for a long time are almost like family. Mootilda's passing came as a deep shock to me. She was talented, creativity, funny, and just an all round terrific person. I shall miss her. I regret that I have not signed on for a long time and that I did not get to speak with her for a long time. God bless you Mootilda, May God welcome you into his loving arms.

Another Simmer, who has left the world forever. It is sad. This year, many Simmer are already gone . My sincere condolences to the family and her friends.

How Sad! She's resting in a better place now <:')

I'm quite shocked and deeply saddened to hear this news. Mootilda's been a fixture here for as long as I've been a member. I didn't know her beyond her screen name, avatar, and forum posts, but we've both participated in several threads in the off-topic area and have directly replied to each other in several of them. I never knew of her health problems, and knowing that now gives me more insight into some of the things she's said. I now think of her words, and am in awe at how brave and strong she was. I'm truly thankful to have had the opportunity to get to know her, if even in the tiniest way, in the OT area of the forum.

My deepest condolences to Quatchi, her family, and friends.

Oh my God! How did I not notice this before?

R.I.P Mootilda. You and your family will be in my prayers

she made my sims world better which in turn made my day better may she has the best version in the sky

Although I've downloaded a ton of mods and objects over the years, I am a long time lurker and seldom post, but I will always remember smiling whenever I spotted Mootilda's little cow avatar in a post. My warmest condolences and thoughts for her family and friends.

This news stabs my heart with sadness. :C I'll miss her.... but at least now her cancer can give her no more pain.. <3

My condolences too

I have not had the privilege to interact with Mootilda very often during my time here at MTS. However, when I need help or information and lurk through old threads, I can see just how helpful, kind, and knowledgeable Mootilda is. I regret not being able to work with her, and I especially regret missing this news post when it first came out. The Sims' modding community will certainly miss Mootilda for her excellent contributions.

Now who will take over development of the Clean Installer and HoodChecker?

Oh, how incredibly sad! I never had the pleasure of knowing her personally on the forums, but her insight, knowledge, and contributions will be deeply missed. My heartfelt condolences to her family and friends.

Sorry to hear this. Hope she has peace.

May she rest in peace. She will be missed.

I read this the day it was posted, and I still cannot find the words I would like to say. I use her mods pretty regularly- especially the hood checker, and it'll be strange to think that she's gone. My condolences to her family. We never spoke directly, but her kindness and helpfulness always showed through her posts. We love you, Mootilda.

I've just joined, I'm sorry to hear of this community's loss.

This is so shocking and saddening! I knew Mootilda was very kind and helpful with the community. She and her work will never be forgotten.

This is horrible, I'm so sad for her.

I had no idea she was so ill - well, I guess few of us did. Poor Moo - what a helpful and kind person she was. I will miss seeing her posts though I will go on using her great tools - so useful. She deserves all the sim sites tributes - every one. So nice to see people paying their respects the community over.

I hope, Delphy, you will pass on our respects and love to her family if you get the chance.

Edit: just seen this:

Thank you so much for coming here to post - I'm glad the community has touched you in paying their respects. I wish you the best with whatever the future holds.

I'm so sorry. Mootilda was a truly lovely person. Take care of yourself, Quatchi, and it was wonderful of you to post here thanking us for giving her life purpose. Bright blessings ...

That is all....

This is very sad

Rest in peace!

I don't even know what to say, that's so devastating. My heart seriously goes out to her family, I can't imagine what the people in her life are going through.

So sad! Sleep well...

just saw this today. we all go sometime and its always sad when we do. RIP and thank you for being a helpful and creative member of our community.

Such sad news. What a beautiful creator. Prayers for the family.

I only found the info now, aah horrible news I loved her mods and her sense of humor. It's so sad.

:-(
 

How terrible! I haven't been on the board in a while. I hope she is at peace and my symapthies to all. Sad news.

I wish I could give you many more years. I wish I could erase away all of your tears.
I want to take away all of your pain. I want to give you sunshine in the rain.
You did attract like a magnet beautiful things. You did sparkle and shine like a diamond ring.
You did light up a room when you walked in. If someone did feel sad you did make them grin.
You did know right from wrong. You was the melody from a beautiful love song.
You was a breath of fresh air on a hot summer's night. When there was darkness you did turn on the light.
Please know how many lives you have touch. These words are my present. You are loved so much.

RIP My thoughts are with her family and friends.

my thoughts are with her friends and family, and that is really awful.

it isn't terrible, she is in a better place, god bless her soul.

She was one of my fave creators... a very talented and helpful person

RIP

Rest in peace Mootilda This was a lovely post to honour her.

You'll be missed, Mootilda.

I just saw this. She was probably the most helpful member of the community. Thanks for everything and rest in peace.

I'm speechless, this is so sad...

Mootilda, you will be greatly missed. Heart goes out to the family.

So sorry to hear Condolences to her family

R.i.p.
 

Having been away from the site for quite some time, I'm having trouble remembering if I knew Mootilda. However, With such heartfelt sentiments expressed by the other members, I can only say that I'm sorry I didn't get the chance to know her. Rest in peace.

I rarely post, but I'm a semi-active reader of the forums here. Mootilda was always one of the most helpful people around, and she seemed really nice. It's such a shame that this happened. My thoughts/prayers go out to her family.

Awww how sad...my heartfelt prayers & condolences go out to Mootilda's family...May you rest well, fellow Simmer.

I am so sorry to read this......my heart goes out to Family of Mootilda.
Rest in peace, Mootilda

Mootilda was a wonderful person, even if I hadn't known her well, I just knew she was a kind and caring person.
Rest in peace, Mootilda.

One of my favorite creators here as well.. Sending my thoughts and prayers to her family. Rest in peace, Mootilda.

Oh my god. I never did know her, as I only got sims 3 finally and made an account here since I'd looked up mods for the game a few times before randomly after seeing videos with really cool CC, but she's probably talking to my grandma, my great aunt, and my step-dad right now, who all had cancer as well.

I'm looking in to learning to make CC and mod, and I would have love to learn from her.

As a sim player, and a full time lurker of Mod The Sims, may she rest in peace.

R.I.P Mootilda.

To Mootilda and family

R.I.P Mootilda.

Sad news. She was so full of knowledge about programming and I could not play the game without her hoodchecker and lot adjuster.

Prayers and condolences to her family.

I'd like to thank everyone again for all the kind words, thoughts and prayers. I asked Mootilda's family to read through this wonderful thread. Its very hard to explain to non gamer / non programmers what it is that Mootilda has been doing, and usually we got very confused looks when we tried to explain it to her family. But now I think they understand. What she was doing was helping people and making people happy. Moo's sister had a very similar reaction to me upon reading this, she was overwhelmed by your kindness and by the knowledge of how much she will be missed.

My heartfelt condolences to her family, she will indeed be missed.<3

Condolences for her family.

l know that cancer is shit ><.

I will admit that I do not post much and for the last couple weeks have been dealing with homeschool, therefore I am just seeing this post. Such sad news to read about. I will be keeping Mootilda and her family and all you wonderful people in my prayers and thoughts. {{hugs to all}}

So sad.
I'm really sorry

Wow so incredibly sad, I hope she is suffering no more. My heart goes out to her and her loved ones she will be missed!

Rest in peace Mootilda. Thoughts are with her friends and family.

Tears in my eyes while I post this ... Mootilda had responded graciously to my questions and helped with the most needed hacks/mod list.
So sorry to hear this !!!!
My utmost condolences to her loved ones.

Rest gently , Mootilda .

Is a sad new. Her useful creations, like the hood replace, are those that comes to my mind first when I hear that name.

So sad to hear. I only knew her here as a friendly helpful member and a great programmer too.
Rest in peace, Mootilda!

I am happy that her suffering is at an end. My best wishes for her family, I know what it is like to lose a love one to cancer. Sims 2 is my favorite and she added so much to the experience and was so kind and generous with her time. Rest in peace Mootilda... You will be missed.

I didn't know her either. I only saw posts of her sometimes on this site.
Cancer is a terrible decease and nobody should suffer from it, let alone die, but unfortunately that's life.
I feel for her family and wish them all the strength they need.
Rest in peace, Mootilda.

This is very sad news. I too enjoyed Mootilda's creations and found many to be downright necessary in playing my Sims games. She will most certainly be missed and remembered by many in this community. My deepest condolences to her family and those closest to her. RIP.

We love you Mootilda, and we miss you. R.I.P.

Oh gosh, I've been very busy with 'real life' and haven't had the chance to keep up with the MTS news as I'd like to, so I've only just heard about this. I'm really heartbroken, she was one of my favourite creators and such a nice person. RIP, Mootilda.

That's extremely sad. She was always very helpful, and pointed me in the right direction a few times. Will be terribly missed in the community. Heart felt condolences to family and friends.

Oh no, I had no idea she was sick! An incredible loss, much more so for her family and friends, but those of us who knew that friendly screen name here as well. It is a truly special person who can be so beloved by so many. My deepest sympathies.

I'm so sorry to hear these bad news, I didn't know Mootilda personally, but she's left a legacy in terms of making TS2 an even more incredible game.

My thoughts and prayers to her family and friends.

I'm so very sorry. My condolences to her family.

Although I do not know Mootilda (I just joined), I hope she now rests in peace. Condolences to her family and loved ones.

Rest in peace, you will certainly be missed!

Oh no never knew her, but I'm very sad to hear that RIP!!

man, rest in peace

this is terrible news

even tho i don't know her its sad to see someone died especially to cancer

Condolences to her family

Ohh... That's.. Very sad.. but..
..it's good to know that she go by.. Peacefully and not hurt.

Still.. It's a very hugh lost to the sims community,Please Rest in Peace Mootilda

Condolences to her family and friends,I hope she´s in peace now!!

Rest in peace

Damn. From all the years that I've been around the MTS community, I always remembered Mootilda as being one of the most helpful members our community ever had.
The Sims2Pack Clean Installer still remains as one of the most indispensable tools that ever owner of The Sims 2 MUST have and I still find myself using it when I go back to playing TS2 and installing even more CC and it's because of Mootilda that it carried on as long as it did. She was always friendly and willing to help people figure out any problem that they had with their games or mods.
I can't believe she's gone.

Mootilda, may you finally have the peace that you so rightfully deserve.
You will be missed.

Oh no... why Mootilda? :-(
Because, you know, even though I'm not an active Sims 2 modder or gamer, not even an insider, I got to talk with Mootilda back in 2011 when she greatly and very nicely helped me restoring a disappeared lot I loved much (http://simpeforum.ambertation.de/forum/viewpost/31420). It was amazing how fast she appeared on the SimPE forum to help me there, and she really knuckled down to get my lot back.
She was one-of-a-kind, such a nice person.

I'm really sad now... Dear Mootilda, rest in peace, and thank you one last time for your great help, I will never forget you.

Oh my god this is so awful! I loved her mods, they were so great. She was an amazing person too. I hate cancer with a burning passion, it takes away too many great people in this world. Condolences to her friends and family members.

I did not know her personally, but I was impressed by her influence and skill in the community. While I am usually a silent creeper, this is the time where I must say: May angels carry you on a stream of flower petals straight to heaven.
The source code for most of my programs is available in the download thread. If I am inactive on ModTheSims for a year, or if I die, you may take over development and support of any of my programs without my permission, but the program must remain free of cost and you must keep the source code in the public domain.
She knew it. At least she expected it.
Oh boy, I'm crying. My best wishes to her friends and family.

Oh no......I'm new here,Well not technically i just haven't posted. But she seems as though she was an outstanding long-term member. (e,r,1,2,and 3 don't work,I used the On-Screen Keyboard. I can't post anymore,It takes alot..

Our condolences to her family. They are in our prayers. I had several of her works when I played TS2. She was brilliant and kind. May she rest in peace.

Mootilda Homage
 

Delphy,

Will there be some sort of homage paid to her and her creations? She was always so patient and helpful. My condolences to her family

Very sorry to hear about this. Condolences to her loved ones :-(

I wanted to suggest something similar. Some sort of honor spot/virtual statue somewhere on this site? She has done a lot for the Sims 2 community in various ways which benefitted a lot of Sims 2 'lovers'. It seems appropriate to me.

You will be miss very dearly and my condolences to her family.

I did not know, but something like this is always bad news. My condolences to her family.

I’m still processing this sad news, her creations and programs were exceptional. My Condolences to her family.

Thank you for everything, Mootilda. Your mods and creations helped make my gaming experience more fun. Have fun breaking down the 4th wall in the great beyond.

Mootilda - so sad to see you go - you gave so much to all that needed help - big or small.

You gave us the hoodchecker - I use it every day. You have helped me when I was lost
in a problem with my sims. You were there always for everyone.
I am though happy that your hurt is gone and I am sure you are in a good place now with
no hurt only goodness which you of all people deserve.

Rest in Peace my dear friend.

OMG! I loved Mootilda's stuff! Rest in peace Mootilda. We will charish your items forever.

I didn't learn about Mootilda passing away until today.

Rest in peace.

Always sad to read that kind of news. I often saw her posts here everywhere.

My condolences and prayers to her family.

I haven't visited this site in awhile and just read that Mootilda passed away. I am so very sorry to hear this. She was such a nice person and extremely helpful to those that needed it. The Sims2 area won't be the same without her or her helpful posts. My condolences. My thoughts and prayers are with Mootilda and her family and friends.
