Default WCIF TS3 cars from VPN's Garage?
In case you don't know, VPN's Garage was a site that made amazing and very good-looking (but entirely fictional) cars for The Sims 2. Apparently the site was shut down a couple of years ago, and all downloads were taken offline, but I could very much use them in my Bridgeport 1988 world. Some of them, at least. The idea here is that I'll be able to convert them to TS3 with relatively minor effort (hopefully, I don't know) since I'll need a lot of them and I'll need a lot of them as soon as humanly possible.
I've come across THIS THREAD from which I've learnt that some of the VPN's Garage cars were already converted to TS3. But they're hosted on the original site, and the original site is dead.

Here's some reference pics of the cars from that thread:

So if anyone has any of these cars at all, preferably the TS3 ones but also the TS2 ones, please share them with me.

Thanks

I think I have most of the TS3 ones. Might take me a while (a day or so), but I will PM you a link once I find them and upload them.

And, by the way, if you have an easy-ish solution for TS2 -> TS3 car conversion, please let me know!

Not really in Understrech Imagination, but on his Facebook profile I saw photos of there's VPN Garage Cars from The Sims 3 which he posted 11 years ago.

https://www.facebook.com/Understrec...4033789/?type=3
https://www.facebook.com/Understrec...7756530/?type=3
https://www.facebook.com/Understrec...1325709/?type=3
https://www.facebook.com/Understrec...7455672/?type=3

Ofcourse in post having link, but not anymore working because is showing only 404 error not found.
Also VPN Garege facebook profile is not active almost a year.
I tried talk to Understrech Imagination on Instagram about there's VPN Garage Cars, but also nothing reply to me.

Only what I found is on another Sims Discussion https://modthesims.info/t/602486 , where one user have saved in Mega only four Smoogos for The Sims 3.
Maybe someone have all or half VPN's Garage others Cars mods from The Sims 3?

Because there's mods is almost lost media

Replied! I know I definitely have them on a backup. Will take me a few days to dig them up though!

I've only so far been able to find a merged package I used, so it's probably not the complete VPN's Garage collection – just the ones that I liked/fit my game. I'm 99.9% sure I still have the split .package files somewhere, so I'll keep looking.

In the meantime, for anyone else that's looking for them, here's a link to the merged .package file:

Happy simming!

Quick bump. I found a few others, but not all the other individual files from my merged package. I know they're around somewhere.

I've updated the folder to now include everything I could find (so far!).

FINAL Bump: I've went through my last HDD with my old sims 3 mods archive, and found quite a few more individual files (35-40). You can download them here:

https://mega.nz/folder/v89jXILL#YghvqcvsXHGBETzJH6AREQ

And, if there's ever another lost and found from way way back, chances are I have it. My old TS3 Mods archive is a whopping 187 gigabytes.
