I love you guys for linking to that Sims 2 defaults page! I spent about 2 hours on there yesterday and will go back this evening. I'm elated that I can get defaults for every single Maxis outfit in the game. And I can't believe that finally my townies won't look dumb all of the time (at least not because of their clothes).

Thanks for the tip. Just looking at elder formal fashions and I'm going wow. I so hate the gowns for elder females - they're revolting, so I'll be downloading a few of these!

Sorry if this is extremely stupid question, but what´s so wrong about TSR? I´m curious because in several creators´ policies I found "no paysites" and then "no TSR!". All I know is TSR used to be a paysite, but is there something else? I mean, all the ads and waiting for downloads and no evidence of what is supported and what not make TSR pretty uncomfortable and kinda shitty (sorry for that poor expression, I´m not native speaker), but still there are many talented people making wonderful stuff, so I wouldn´t say TSR is a great place to be at, but it´s not the worst one either. So where´s The Evil hiding? Thanks!

Thanks for this thread, gazania and the other posters who posted links. Sims 2 is alive and well! :-) Yay!

I just wanted to add a clothing site that has some beautiful clothes for sims 2 that I haven't seen posted here yet. I LOVE the shoes for some of the outfits they have. Then check out the friends list on the side for more cool sim fashion.

Just a head's up that Trapping is leaving the community, so both her blogs will be discontinued. For now on, SimsCave seems to be the best place to get the daily CC finds.

Since Trapping's crushes is gone I'd like to share a blog I found that does the same type of thing of gathering finds/shares of sim 2 things across the web. It's called SIm Land Treats

Uh oh! My social bar is low - that's why I posted today.

OMG I'm so glad I found this thread. I thought I'd pretty well gotten everything I wanted that was out there, but the default replacement site...OH MY. I'm downloading like it's my first day on MTS!

Y'know ... I was JUST starting to make a dent in my "Downloads to Test" list.

Sims 2 content has been a little slower on Tumblr and other sites over the last few months, and I was finally seeing just what I DID download over the last several months that I haven't checked out yet!

Oh, well. If this is the worst thing I have to endure this week, I think I can cope. Somehow!

Thanks for the link!

Thanks to ALL free-site creators, admins and mods.

RIP Sunni ... truly a ray of light.

Does anyone know of any active story-sharing (not just legacies) sites, if there are any left? I really really want to get back into story-making but I'd like to have some places to share and read work. I miss it so much.

I believe BackAlleySims and GardenofShadows story telling is still active.

Another Simblr I came across recently that was pretty darn good!

JodelieJodelie not only takes wonderful pics but has links to what they use and what they make in the side bar.

I also recommend Tumblr/simblr with Sims2 tags, as a lot of smaller artists are creating fabulous content and recolors as well.

I know this is an older thread, but I was wondering if there was a way to access downloads from the Exchange? Sorry if this has been mentioned before.

No-because they shut down the exchange quite a long time ago, and it's no longer accessible to anyone. There are several things from there that you can get from assorted sites, but I can't off hand think of them.

There's Boolprop, that is mostly focused in legacies and challanges in general, but they also have a space to story-sharing.
