Site Suggestions - State of the site - Where do you want to go from here?

[Delphy]

Hi All,

Today I'd like to cover some ideas for the site, my thoughts, and generally get your input on how you think it's going, and where you want to go.

Historically, SXS2 was split off from MTS2 for the Adult orientated items including classical paintings and things of that nature. We've added some forums here and there, but generally it seems kind of quiet, and I'd like to change that. I know there is a huge amount of people out there either not liking the PG-13 ratings of other sites, or wanting to download quality adult content, or generally play the game how you want it to be played with as many adult related items as you wish.

What I've noticed very recently has been a kind of stagnation in terms of uploads as well as general forum usage. I know that partially this is becuase the Sims 2 as a game is 4 years old, but MTS2 still has an average of 80+ items in it's queue on any given day, and here it just seems to be a heck of a lot less, even though there is obviously a large number of people browsing and generally downloading.

As downloaders, you may have noticed a decrease in the number of available downloads. This is covered in the other site news "My stuff got tagged? Why!".

What I want to concentrate here is not the quality of downloads, but a general feeling on where you want the site to go. What kind of sections do you want to see? Would you prefer it setup more like MTS2? (Which we have started doing) or another way? Which forums get used a lot, and which don't? Are there areas you would like to see expanded? Are there any features you want to see that don't already exist?

I'd like to turn this seeming downturn around and make this one of the premier sites not just for adult content but also for discussion as MTS2 is for the "regular" game and S2C is for "regular" discussion.

So, if you have any thoughts, feelings, comments - please post here. Try and keep them positive - it serves nobodies purpose to say "This site sux! You sux!". After all, you guys and girls are the ones that use the site day to day, so your input is valuable.

Thanks for reading and for using SXS2! I'll try and do my best to reply to any specific comments or questions.

Regards
Delphy

well ive been coming here for a while but i had to stop to learn to download manually but most of all i would like Q-xpress back because manual downloading dusnt always work for me and i would like my sims to get one heck of a sexual experience but besides that its great here.

[MummasMonsters]

I agree with Dilly id love to see the Q-Express installer back it is easy to use and no hassles i love it here and what you have done you all do a very good job the site looks fab I found this site by accident sort of as i was missing some adult content and couldnt find in modthesims2 where i originally got it from so when i found the creators name by accident over at that site i followed his name link to here lol and found all this lovely adult stuff woohoo i just love it now my sims can have heaps of fun again thanks so much guys !!

[Julie J]

We could do Sim Contests like on InSIM and InSIMadult and also picture threads where people can show off their naughty sims or extra pics from stories and I agree with dilly I'd like to see Q-Xpress back too.
The story threads are still very successful here.

[snakeskinner]

i think the lack of [adult content creator's] really hurts the site.there seem's to be more posting for help and wcif questions that always seems to lead to another site more than any thing.it really hurt's when member's come here to ask for it and find it somewere else.then they seem to rely on us to point them in the direction of site's with more download's then they don't come back.and the general discussion area seem's to always be about moving a post to the proper location or locked thread's.these area's [in my opinion] are better for mts2 forum's than the adult forums.this may lead to less talk and more action.i have been a member here for a few year's now,at first it was the best site to browse and find things,now it seems to have turned into more of a chat forum and less of an adult download's site.i have seen new downloads stay on the first page for a month in fact there are still thing's on the first page uploaded on jan the 29th.and now that the download's must have the same quality as mts2,there will be even fewer upload's making it to the downloads area.My opinion [and i tread lightly] approve more download's,of all quality.then filter them as to how popular they are after 2 weeks.i/e if it is not downloaded 1000 time's after a 2 week period tag it then.more or less let the member's download to there standard's.as with a few of my [tagged] download's.they may have not been the best but there were none downloaded less than 3000 time's.all downloads differ in quality and alway's will.most creator's can't mesh or animate.nor have the resources to do so. i dont mean to let all junk into the site.just the better thing's that actually took time to create.not cut and pasted shirt's and stuff.i feel this would get more member's involved uploading again and out of the forum's.make them strive to create and not say i cant do that,it's not good enough

this is just my opinion........try it for a few month's to see what happens.if it does not work i will admitt defeat and bow before the community...lol :evil:

[billielith]

It might be interesting for creators of all kinds to know what people would like to see in their game. If a "request" or "suggestion" forum or thread exists, I can't say it's really easy to find.

Here I don't only mean the meshes and mods that only the most knowledgable members can create. Could be clothing, paintings, object recolors, or things like that. Something people might have seen in a movie, or elsewhere, that they'd like to see in their Sims game. They could post a pic. Then a creator could try to make it.

[lp1963]

There is a request thread on the site map page under the downloads.:)
http://sexysims2.com/forumdisplay.php?f=278

[jazcmx]

There is a request thread on the site map page under the downloads.:)
http://sexysims2.com/forumdisplay.php?f=278 Yes, there is a request thread. For those that know how to mod. What about the countless others that can't do that? I can't mod or mesh worth a shit. But I can build lots, make wallpaper and flooring, create recolors, make posters and paintings, and thanks to a new video card, I can know create clothing.

But there is no where Simmers can request this stuff.

Honestly...how often do you really see a new mod on this site now a days?

[Delphy]

Q-Xpress is a downloaders only tool - I would rather people concentrate on forums or actual ideas that would enhance your day to day usage rather than something thats only for downloading and nothing else.

After all, this site isn't only about downloads - although it could be, I would rather it not. :)

[Delphy]

jazcmx, Why can't you request adult-related items in the request forum? Or are you talking more generally about non-adult things.

[Julie J]

As I suggested earlier picture threads to show-off screenshots and contests.
How about asking some of the creators from mts2 and other sites to create stuff for this one

[earth2luna]

Me, me! *raises hand before realizing I'm not in school anymore*.

I know what alot of the writers want, if it's possible?

I know most writers, love the way the main site has stars and/or awards for really good story writing like, ta-da... Our moderator, Lp!

We all love her to death, and if anyone one deserves one, it would be she. :lovestruc

I'm sure you would know this, but it can be very challanging to write stories that draws folks in time after time. I think just one of LP's stories alone has had over 64,000 folks viewing it. I think it's amazing really.

It may be sad to a psychiatrist that we practically live here and love it, lol. But it is what it is.

And I think you are amazing for thinking about this section, because you're always fair. :king:

We know you're retired and you are amazingly busy, but it would be so much fun to play with you once in a while... chat and what not.

Oh! You thought something else didn't you? Now you will be punished. :whip:

Thanks Delphy.

Honestly...how often do you really see a new mod on this site now a days? Hello, I think this is the first site I ever came to, I pop in from time to time, Good to see you hear jazcmx, always loved your work! I think some more creator's, like yourself should make more stuff, Like I will be uploading my adult content, Even thou Iam done at insimadult, I found that the picture's I had there brought many members,classy adult content! I hope I can be apart of what might bring change to this site!

[Delphy]

earth2luna, I'm always in the chat... ;)

[sharonjulie]

*Pokes head round door slowly*

I have seen on other sites that they show who is on line at the time, I do think this does encourage persons to stay on and chat for longer, there is also a choice as well if you,d like to be anonymous so your name doesn,t show if you choose not to.

Just a thought good or bad, I don,t know :)

*Takes head back round door*.

[billielith]

jazcmx, Why can't you request adult-related items in the request forum? Or are you talking more generally about non-adult things.

The request forum could be easier to find. It could be mentioned/suggested on the Downloads page, where most people go, that way maybe we'd get more requests. I am not sure if everyone really uses the Site Map when they come here, creators and downloaders. Some might not even know a request forum exists. I didn't, and it's a while I come here.

It seems to me like if people think they can't request "simple" adult-related items in the request forum, it's because of the title, "Modding Requests". It might sound to people as it's the place where they should request things like Mods, Meshes or Hacks. I don't see any request there for the kind of items jazcmx mentions, like lots, clothing, paintings, walls, floors, recolors.

In your text, you mention the recent lack of submitted items by creators. You know, not everyone can code or work on meshes. It takes time to learn to do that, not all have that kind of free time on their hands. It doesn't mean we don't want to create. Then again, why create if there doesn't seem to be a demand for the type of items one can do?

Would it be possible to create a thread where people would be encouraged to post "easier" requests than animations or things like that?

[mrsscj429]

I have been a member of the site for a while, and I loved it when new postings were uploaded. but after the uploads faded, I have just come back to get downloads that I have lost, and seen some new ones that I would like in my game. I personnaly think we need an array of iteams, and if a creator could do more stuff for the sims, or changes to where the sims have sex, like in a shower, or a couch or on the dishwaser, or washingmachine, one that would be nice is in the tub.. I also think there shoudl be a few more mods.

I myself would like to see things for guy on guy stuff instead of having to go to another site, I have a list of tons of sims sites in my favorites, and after awhile I just give up on looking, and look every few days to see if anything new.
Thanks a mill..

:devil:
:jackoff:

[timbone86]

Well, Honestly. I would like more of a diverse sims stuff. When it comes to making new sims to what sexual things they do and wear. I personally like the Chocolate women and would love to see more stuff for them like new attire or new sims to download with new hair styles and meshes. Add more jobs to download. Maybe new job rewards. I don't do any of this stuff so I don't know how hard it is. If it is hard then I am sorry for this post. This is just a reply to the message that is posted at the top off the screen. I hope that helped at all. :)

[Melysa1973]

*smacks head* I've been a member here for quite a while, and I never knew there was a request thread. Like billielith said, I thought it was for only modding requests, not clothing, etc. Maybe have a seperate forum "Requests" and have different sections, i.e., genetic, clothing, lots, mods. Because I was unaware that the request thread was for everything, I put in a request elsewhere.

Like luna said, SS2 has become a very comfortable place for me. I came here originally to download some items, and learned that there is a wonderful community of folks here! Julie mentioned that the story threads are still very successful, and I would have to agree. I would love to see lp get a gold star or trophy or something for her wonderful stories, and it would be fun to have a nomination period every month for a fav. story thread.

I want to also take the time to say thank you, Delphy, for your hard work throughout your retirement. You rock!

[worker104]

If I start uploading stuff here for people to download, and I make alot, can we have Our own sections so members know where to look when they come here? It seems to be more easy to find creator's stuff!

[billielith]

Hem... not sure what you mean, but I think it's something we already have. Try clicking on my name, for example, you'll see my creations regrouped under my profile... if they're still here (they've been tagged, it seems).

But that's how it usually works. When you have creations on SXS2, you will see them on your profile page.

I agree with Melysa1973, I think separating the Request thread in sections could help too.

[Melysa1973]

I think what worker means (and correct me if I'm wrong) is if you upload lots and lots of stuff, you would have your own "boutique" that would be featured on the home page.

[Bonjovibabe]

I used to check in here a lot. But, the same downloads seem to be on the front page as before. So I leave thinking that no one is uploading anything new. I am not complaining about how quickly the modders can upload, I applaud them and their talents and their generosity for sharing their work with us. But lack of new downloads makes me leave a lot sooner than I would like to. I also like to read stories too. I check in sometimes to see if a new chapter has been written. Great stories guys!

[spongeboy1985]

I just stsrted to use this site and I have to say I like it I would like a requests section this gives the creaters a little more of an idea what to do I have a few request over at insimadult and there is a lot of activity therso creators if you are looking for something to do why don't you look in there and see if there is anything worth doing although alot of the cretors seem to be busy with stuff at the other site so that may be a problem

[TickleOnTheTum]

I think one thing that is hurting the Adult material available is the difficulty in creating new animations for the game. If it was easier to create new animations we would have a flood of new Love Beds, Love Rugs, Love Showers... you get the idea. The problem as I see it is there are already an excess of sexy pictures, posters, clothes, etc. and what we really need are new objects or mods with new animations. Objects that allow for new sexual positions, mods that allow your Sims to have sex on any sofa... that sort of thing.

Unfortunalty that's not something the site can really help with, unless it can find a way to encourage developers. Maybe through competitions with real world prizes, or Organising and/or funding research projects? Alas, I fear it may be too late in the life cycle of the game for this to happen as the announcement of The Sims 3 has distracted a lot of peopole.

As a side note, I fear this problem is only going to get worse in The Sims 3.

[Delphy]

I think what worker means (and correct me if I'm wrong) is if you upload lots and lots of stuff, you would have your own "boutique" that would be featured on the home page.

What, like InSim does? I honestly think that each creator possibly having thier own forums achieves nothing you can't already get from the existing member profile page.

What worker wants is already available - just go to any creators profile page and you'll see thier current downloads.

[Delphy]

spongeboy1985, there is already a requests section. It's at the bottom of the site map. I might add it back to the navbar though

[mrsmartin428]

I'm pretty new, but I'd like to see more diversity in the available downloads section. I know that it's mainly directed towards things of a sexual nature as that's the purpose of the site, but there are other adult-oriented things that you have a hard time finding on the PG-13 sites (such as things pertaining to vices, violence, etc).

I'd also like to see more R-Rated stories...I've noticed there's very few active threads going on in that section.

[heatherjpenney]

Someone mentioned having contest, I think that would be a great idea. It would give people the motivation to create new content as well as the drive to improve on their own abilities

[musiquefille]

I'm not really sure what will help the site become more lively. When sexysims was still part of MTS2, I found it much easier for there to be activity.

Because this site is limited to adult stuff, it was hard for me to stay very interested. Someone said it before - there are only so many adult recolors you can have before you are board. The problem for me has always been the separation of the adult stuff from everything else (I know why this has been done, and I understand, but I have never liked it).

I like the stories section here, but other than that, I don't feel pulled to the discussion forums because they are not as interesting as those on MTS2 or S2C. It seems like kind of the odd site out. To me, if adult topics were mixed in with all the others, I'd be likely to be active, but since it's a separate site, I don't visit often.

I guess that didn't really help figure out where we should go, but I've kind of been wanting to say that for years.

[nequam]

This is the first place I have found for mature themed sim's content, and I still have an affinity for it.
Digressing from the more new downloads plea we all would like.
How about an oddities section/thread. there's countless old mods out there, lost or hidden among innane recolors. newbies (like me) could find cool old stuff they might have missed, and the established residents might even find a surprise or two. It would give a reason to keep coming back, say hi, and increase site traffic. which in-turn might bring the much lauded fresh stuff.

[srellison125]

I check in here almost every day. I'll download things once in a while. I'm less interested in hacks than I am in modded clothes and paintings. Also, as you said, the game is getting older and I already have many adult items. How many do I really need?
I do have one thought. Exnem's site has gone pg-13. Maybe you can contact Exnem or LyricLee and see if his earlier adult stuff could be posted here. He made a lot of high quality skins and mods that can now only be gotten under the table, as it were. It would be nice to have an open source to download these and it would also breathe some fresh air into this site.
Always a loyal member, Steve

[jazcmx]

spongeboy1985, there is already a requests section. It's at the bottom of the site map. I might add it back to the navbar though Yes, but can we request anything there, or is it only for mods?

[lp1963]

Yes, but can we request anything there, or is it only for mods?
It is for all requests.

[kitkat123]

The site's great! How could people think it, and I quote 'Sux' , when they probably are just jealous that they did not create an item themselves. I think the site is perfect, though, maybe you could hold contests and for prizes, get CC that isn't available to anyone else?

[BooSnoopyChloe]

I too would like to see Q-xpress reinstated. I saw your earlier rationalization about why you would rather not have that feature, but I used to visit your site EVERY day for all the downloads and information you and other members would provide as well as the other features of the site. Now I check in maybe once a month to see if Q-xpress is back or not. I have tried your downloading for fracking idiots and all I get are error messages . . . Q-xpress would bring me back, and I'm sure others would return as well. A while ago there was a mass exodus of members, most complaining about downloading issues, bottom line is that people check out this site mostly for the excellent content they can't find anywhere else. If you want more people involved with the site PLEASE reinstate Q-xpress. (thanks 4 reading all of this) c u next month . . .

[billielith]

spongeboy1985, there is already a requests section. It's at the bottom of the site map. I might add it back to the navbar though

I saw a "Requests" link got added to the navbar on top, and when people go there, they also get the guidelines and get encouraged to post pictures with their requests. Thanks. I think this will already help.

[gazania]

It WOULD be nice to see lp and Hunter get an award on the main MTS2 site. :)

But now, I'm going off-topic. For me, some of the fun faded a bit due to circumstances beyond anyone's control, when we lost all that data in the crash. I often will go back to visit old mods because sometimes, I miss them the first time around, and other times, because I wait quite a while before buying an expansion, and might have ignored some goodies because I didn't have OFB or Seasons or Pets the last time I read about them. Now that so many have faded away, I can't do that.

But there isn't a whole lot anyone can do about that. So the question is, "What can we do with what we do have?"

I agree with others here when they write that there are only just so many wallpapers, floors, etc. of naked people blatantly sitting around and/or doing "it" that you can post. Also like others here, I would love to see art, whether it's hentai or real people, that suggests nudity or gives a tantalizing peek at the goods, rather than screams, "Look! Here they are!" More lingerie that suggests nudity, but doesn't leave everything hanging out.

An occasional contest might be nice like the ones on MTS2. Perhaps with a theme ... Vargas Girls, for instance, or Striptease or Ladies' Night Out (Featuring men and male-related downloads). Perhaps a revamp of the site design to be a bit more sensual. Perhaps more of a smattering of mildly kinky goodies such as a blindfold (I did find one, but it would be great if someone with more expertise can refine it). I don't think I'm being much help. Sorry.

I also agree with others here that one problem is that most of the adult mods have either been created and refined as far as they can be, and the ones that people crave might just not be feasible to create. And that Sims 3 is a-comin', though quite bluntly, I'm just not impressed, and you might find some people like myself lingering around here a bit longer even after Sims 3 comes out.

[billielith]

I have to agree with gazania about Sims 3. I am not sure I will follow on that one, I was very disappointed by what I saw of it. At the same time, I am not sure of what to think about it coming so soon. Will Sims 2 die to it in popularity, the same way Sims 1 died to Sims 2 ?

People sound like they want more than just recolors in their game, and I understand that. But would it still be worth it to learn to mesh or do animations (like kinky ones for this site, or just general ones) this summer, for example? or will it just be too late for Sims 2 then ?

[Delphy]

gazania I have to say - that is an asbolutely great post, and I totally agree with your whole philosophy regarding the "suggestive but not hanging out". After all, adult doesn't have to mean blatent porn.

To be perfectly blunt, I had a lot of comments from people who knew about this site but didn't come here becuase it was too blatent - when I went through and tagged things, it was with a sense to actually try and even out the actual available downloads and to get back to a point where quality wins out over quantity. After all, how many paintings or posters you need that have some random porn star spreading her legs?

I'd much rather have skimpy, revealing lingerie. Art thats actual art - I love the classics, the greek and roman art, indian and chinese too - things that actually make you think "Wow thats good" as opposed to "Eh, just another chick".

One thing I'd like to point out is that we have a ton of tutorials on MTS2 about how to make your own paintings or murals, wallpaper or floors for that matter. I'd love for people to actually take their creative ideas and to make things themselves. This is one of the reasons we got rid of Requests on MTS2.

Looking at the available downloads, sure there is a lot that can be done, but even adult lingerie, more adult related meshes in the sense of objects - as gazania says, even simple things like blindfolds. Often the things that make us on MTS2 go "Wow" are the simple things that you kind of think "Thats great becuase it's so simple and it hasn't been done before...". Take the example of the male body hair just uploaded - thats a really good idea, and very well done.

This is the kind of thing we need to see more of rather than just yet-another-porn-picture.

[HystericalParoxysm]

srellison125 - Exnem already has a skinset here, posted ages ago, likely when the adult content here was still part of MTS2. You can find it here: http://www.sexysims2.com/showthread.php?t=103787 ... however, considering that LyricLee was fired from her job as admin at MTS2, and Exnem has pulled his downloads from MTS2 - and considering MTS2's stance against paysites, I believe it would be extremely unlikely that they would want to post their items here.

[exotika]

I think it has alot to do with difficulty in creating new animations for the game just as TickleOnTheTum stated,even the Insimadult website is slow now as well.I used to check both sites everyday.Every since EA annouced the The Sims 3 it has really slowed things down.That's really To bad Exnem's site has gone pg-13 because Exnem and LyricLee are very talented and had some great adult mods.

[earth2luna]

Thats so true Delphy and Grazia. :)

Again, coming from a story writer's/movie maker's point of veiw. If you notice, we don't use alot of the " hanging out all over the place" type of items for clothing. Except for body parts to make the stories more life like... in real relationships.

I think the woman are much more tamer than the guy's when it come to that type of thing, lol.

I completly agree about the simple "blind fold" idea. I can't tell you how challanging it can be having to hunt for items like that.
I don't know, but I think it would be awesome to have SexySims2 known for that type of thing.

To tell you the truth, I don't really play the game much anymore. It's more like my canvas now. :D

[bella_snap]

it should be easily set out!

[kn0epfchen]

hello there...
i want to say, that it`s not so easy for me to understand all the posts because i am german.... but i wanna learn to do meshes and recolours... so i think the sims 3 is coming to fast... smoe people are not redy with gaming sims 1 and so many people are playing sims 2 like sims-junkies (dont know how to say it in a other way)...

I will stay here an try to understand all this here, that`s fact!

greetings from germany... you are all doing a very good job for people like me :o)

[chriso1972]

I am new to the site. I hope I can be of help to anyone and I hope to share items and other useful information. :male-expo

[nattysims]

I think that you should build on whats good here and not try to be something your not.

Looking through all the posts It was going great until a great deal of censor ship happened and things got deleted - there is a wide range of poeple in our sims community some stupid and some intelligent, some creative and some only know cut and paste; but we're all part of the SAME community. There are other ways to control the threads than blatant wiping of history.

I personally hardly visit MTS2 any more; it got too big and too controlling. I know that was due to many users etc - i understand the reasons why.

Why tagg something someone was proud enough to post for others? The fact is they were sharing something and trying to give something back.

If you want people to use the site, don't put them off in the first place by huge warning posts we have to agree to, make navigation a LOT easier and celebrate the talent you have. Don't be too diligent in your moderating the forums - we are adults we should be able to moderate ourselves if allowed.

I am a story writer too but had no idea you had a forum for that - theres a lot said in this thread about can't find this and that - well there's your first challenge.

Personally I would love more story props/outfits/hacks that help me to do that.

Enough of the moans - i have been a member for ever here and enjoyed coming to find treats and goodies. I like adult content not for smut content but because i am an adult in a real world.

So I finish where I started celebrate whats good and thats the work you do too, we do appreciate it - thank you.

[henrythesecond]

I've been screwing around with the Sims in one way or another for eight years, and I've seen a lot of sites. I always liked SS2 and MTS2 the best because it's not just a place to download stuff from, it's a community. There are many times I wish I were a skilled hacker that could share things here, but I'm not-such things are way, way over my head.
I like a lot of the topics discussed here, the Writer's Well at the top of the list. Another was the one where people were talking about their funniest moments with the game. Some of those should be made permanent fixtures rather than just topics, forums unto themselves. Another thing I'd like to see more of is high-quality hacks. After all, SS2 is the home of the Sinful Shower, the best hack for TS2 availible today. Such hacks are the true backbone of any adult site-after all, when it comes to clothing or pictures, even an old dinosaur like me can make those, but to match the hacks of Hunter or the meshes of Warlokk, that's skill-and that's why people come here.

[catie116]

I mainly come here to read the stories and I was wondering if the stories would always be available to read. I mean I like to read the stories in the X Rated, and I like to read them again if I choose. I guess what I am asking is: Are the stories sill going to be here after all the changes?


Thanks :run:

[redordead]

Well hello, I do visit a lot, download a bit and chat occasionally. So I thought I'd make suggestions. :)

I'd also like to see a request forum. Somewhere for all requests to go including sim requests, clothing and lots.

I'd like to see a more defined WCIF section attached to the request forum so that people can try making the WCIF before suggesting a off-site destination.

I'd also like to see a how do you do that? forum, I know that people do answer these sorts of questions in story threads but to actually be able to post to find out how to do certain animations and pictures would really help. This could also include if writers wished to do so tutorials on the best ways to create sets / take pictures of an adult content.

I don't normally venture into the discussions or mud pit unless there is something that catches my interest but I do venture into the challenges and would happily take part in a quarterly challenge.

I am now going to go hide in the story thread, I hope this helps. :)

[Delphy]

Looking through all the posts It was going great until a great deal of censor ship happened and things got deleted - there is a wide range of poeple in our sims community some stupid and some intelligent, some creative and some only know cut and paste; but we're all part of the SAME community. There are other ways to control the threads than blatant wiping of history.

I personally hardly visit MTS2 any more; it got too big and too controlling. I know that was due to many users etc - i understand the reasons why.

Why tagg something someone was proud enough to post for others? The fact is they were sharing something and trying to give something back.

If you want people to use the site, don't put them off in the first place by huge warning posts we have to agree to, make navigation a LOT easier and celebrate the talent you have. Don't be too diligent in your moderating the forums - we are adults we should be able to moderate ourselves if allowed.


Okay so if you want a site full of shoddy texturing, bad screenshots, and generally very low quality... I suggest you look somewhere else then, becuase I will not let any of my sites be like the Exchange.

MTS2 is very easy to find things on, compared to other sites. You do not need to know who made something or what thier name was or anything - you have multiple searching, filtering and browsing options, as you do here too.

Fact is, navigation is easier. Try finding all adult meshes on other sites like InSimAdult. Or try finding all Hacks on MATY. You can't - it's impossible becuase they are so split up.

Also, sorry but there will always be moderation and just becuase you are "adult aged" does not mean that what you post actually is worth talking about. I will never, ever, have a site be free-for-all with no moderation.

Also, dear god people like redordead, can't you see there is a Requests forum right there in the navbar!

[redordead]

Dephy - There may be a request forum, but what I've asked for is a sectional request forum - who wants to trail through five pages of requests to see if there is a request for SBB tops, or a skintone linked to Warlokk's CPU bodymesh. I'd like to see an easier to use request forum (divided like the downloads section) with a linked WCIF forum. I'm sorry if I wasn't clear first time round. :)

[J. M. Pescado]

Or try finding all Hacks on MATY. You can't - it's impossible becuase they are so split up.Surely you jest. Hacks are sorted all in a nice convenient directory by expansion, in a nice, standards-compliant directory listing. It's easy to find, and requires absolutely no registration or hoop-jumping whatsoever.

You wouldn't end up with shoddy because the feedback we all give would let them know that - how do they strive improve otherwise, its like trying to break into a line of work that the ads always say needs experience.

If your navbar was that great you wouldn't have had so many comments about it and in 'whose' opinion is it that some things are not worthy for comment - if i don't like a thread i don't go there or i say in a reply, if you don't like something thats your opinion and fine, but others may agree.

From your point of view - you work hard for nothing keeping the site going, you have a life outside too and sometimes the children here just keep bugging and moaning wanting more and more from you.

Okay your site is perfect as it is - don't ask for our opinion if you don't really want it. Its okay, i'll bugger off now and won't trouble you again. :lovestruc

[mrsscj429]

I myself would like to know how to create meshes, and other iteams for the sims, but I am a little slow on reading, things. I just have to have some teahing to make things. Thanks for any help...

[Delphy]

Pescado, okay yes, I was saying that a little light heartedly. :) But you have to admit that hacks are possibly one of the few things you can find in a non-forum layout.

nattysims, the thing you have to think about with quality is this: If you have a site, like the Exchange, with tons of really bad things on it, people aren't going to actually stand to look through all the cruft to find the good things. Just becuase somebody shares something doesn't mean it should be shared - after all, I could mesh or texture, but I wouldn't share it becuase it would be bad.

I actually haven't had any comments on the navbar, except people not reading it ;)

I'm not saying it's perfect, but what you seem to be saying is that we should let anybody and everybody post whatever they like, have zero moderation, and generally just let the site go to the doldrums, which really isn't what I want to see.

I agree with both of you, Delphy and nattysims. Delphy, I understand that you want to keep the site clean, as much as possible, so it's not a hell to browse for high-quality content.

I might have a suggestion though, I don't know if it's something that could be done, but why not make a separate section for items that need improvement? That section could have a title saying clearly what it is, so downloaders enter that section "at their own risks".

That way these creations could be available for those who want them, AND they could be the occasion for newbie-creators to improve their work. As their content goes there, they could get people's comments about their work. Admins or moderators could even explain the reasons why the content hit that section and suggest ideas for improvement, which would give the creator the occasion to learn about what makes an average creation become great.

A very kind and encouraging moderator did it for me here, about one of my tagged items, and I think it's a really good move. Would be nice if every newbie-creator could have that kind of heads up when what they do, without being total bs, needs improvement.

Another thing that could happen, is that if a newbie-creator posts something really average in that section, and doesn't really want to work more onto it, some experienced creator might want to use that creation and make something worthy from it.

[NikonSnow]

Well, I feel like I should say something so here goes. First of all you guys have my respect for having the site in the first place, and encouraging the site to stay alive instead of just killing it when it's looking sickly. Thanks for that, this part of the site is just as important as MTS2.

The first problem is, SexySims2 has never felt (in my opinion) connected to anything other area of the sims community. I'm not sure why exactly. There has to be something to fix that, maybe (like others have suggested) contests for the players and the creators, or even a separate social site like MTS2 has. Something that makes people want to check this place every day.

I think that as long as animations can't be fully written/cracked we're not going to see a thriving adult community like there was in sims1. There's just not enough scope for the things people want in the game as it stands. People ask for the same stuff over and over and the answer is nearly always the same, "That's not possible". It's discouraging for everyone. Granted the progress we've made is great, but we need something to keep us going through the slow times.

Also, nuance is important. I agree with less is sometimes more, and fine art feathers and lace can be as sexy as whips and naked girls as wallpaper and crotchless body stockings. But looking at the downloads lately you wouldn't know it. There isn't much variation of "sexy" lately and it shows.

That's my two cents. :jest:

[Pink Panther1]

I was a typical lurker, peeking in, reading, leaving, not really commenting on peoples threads or stories like I have with other sites. What made me want to join in was the general kindness of the people here. I found the more you participate, the more you get out of our little community. For those who think Sexy is Community Challenged, have you tried to join in on the chats? Have you had an opportunity to start a thread? I dare say we are a pretty friendly community. It would be nice to see more of the lurkers comment, give their opinions, get a feel that there are more of us enjoying sexy. We have been supporting this site for a long time, and the mods like LP, Pfish and Hunter have given us a lot of their time (we miss you Pfish) and I for one respect all the hard work they give, sometimes to a thankless lot. :) For the record, thank you. It's nice to see you back, Delphy. I like the changes I've seen so far, seeing the other sites at the top of the page. I think your opening page is pretty clearly understandable and hope that it doesn't get tweeked too much, I know where to go for the stories and request and downloads and everything! Which, if you knew how computer challenged I am, you would know this is a huge compliment.

[K-chan]

I know it's been said, but I'd like to give my support to the idea of challenges. They don't have to be anything too hard, but just something to get people excited about making things.

Also agree with Billielith about the 'needs improvement' forums - that would be a good way to help the new creators learn how to make their stuff better.

And copying some of the tutorials over from MTS2 could help with that - it gets annoying for me switching between the two sites when I'm trying to make things.

[drshi]

I used to check in here a lot. But, the same downloads seem to be on the front page as before.

THERE ARE NO NEW UPLOADS BECAUSE THE UPLOAD ENGINE IS BUSTED.

I've been unable to upload to this site for FOUR FULL WEEKS now, and keep getting error messages. I've posted this problem several times; lp1963 has told me the problem has been referred to you; and I even sent a PM to the Site Administrator (which I'm assuming is you) and it's been ignored. There has been no attention whatsoever paid to remedial action. I've tried uploading the same .zip to MTS2 and it was accepted without any problem; but it's content is adult, so I have to upload it here. For the love of The Great Sim Goddess, Delphy, would you PU-LEEZE get it together on this?

[lp1963]

[nkcshygirl]

I just found this. Thank you my game needs some adult stuff

[Kagen08]

Your site says I am not allowed to download anything. I don't even see anything to download but when I click on the button to go to the "main downloads page" I get an error message saying I am not allowed to be there. I am well over 18. LOL, way over as a matter of fact. And I have never broken any rules, yet I can't get to anything on here. Oh well. No sweat I guess since there are tons of download sites - I just thought it was cool becuase it was free. But maybe I am officially getting what I pay for. LOL!! No sweat. I will move along. Good idea though! Take care and Happy Simming everyone!

[K-chan]

Actually that's a good idea - make it clear what the requirements are to be able to download things. It took me a while of searching the forums to figure out what I needed to do, and I've since forgotten what it was.

[ciaramei]

I agree strongly with iceddj. Extensive categorizing of downloads is really important on a site with adult content. I would like to be able to find non-sexual adult content without having to sift through all the rest of the downloads. As another example, I would like to be able to find revealing but realistic lingerie without having to sift through all the costumes and nudes in high heals.

Someone already suggested challenges. TSR has a really fun set of gameplay Challenges and when you complete them you get a little trophy on your profile. It seems really simple, but it enhances my gameplay and it gives me a reason to read the forums and to keep coming back. I don't remember who hosted the Trollops and Johns competitions (using the pay love bed) in the original Sims, but it was a lot of fun and the prize was an in game object with custom animations. I don't create a lot and these kinds of things give me more opportunities to participate.

[drshi]

Drshi- Delphy responded to your post here: http://sexysims2.com/showthread.php?t=171150

I still get the same error. MTS2 has no problem with the apostrophe.

(Sorry I missed Delphy's response; I stopped watching my original thread when I posted my followup thread. Anyway, the offered solution doesn't work.)

[redordead]

I'd quite like the idea of a new to modding area - I have literally just started turning maxis into body sizes and texturising - really simple stuff but it would be nice to get peoples views on them. I am trying out sexy outfits that can be worn in normal situations at the moment as I find a lot of the items too ott for what I need. I even bought milkshape ready for when I progress :) I will still come and play here no matter what happens, I really like this site! :D

[zolabee]

I would love to have sexy clothes that I didn't have to hunt the meshes down. In different regular and different sizes, male (slim & huge body builder) & female (af, and all the othersizes that creators have made - warlokk, etc.). The mods like the shower, the chair and so forth would be great if could get more like them. Also, (I'm not asking for much here am I!) some of us will be having some free time coming up, and if there were tutorials on how to make this type item/animations we could work on it. Thanks dephy, love all you do!

[simmersusan]

:run: I agree that a lot of the problem with this site is the downloading. It really needs to have Q-express. It's the one thing i look for in a site as lets face it downloading can be a pain. I like the site and enjoy some of the content, the ones i can manage to download.

[TashaFaun]

Personally I think challenges would be a really good way to get people more interested. Most of the stuff that seems to be on this site though (although I haven't browsed in awhile) is just pictures cut and pasted from something else. I think you would get more downloads if it was encouraged to do stuff with Sims (artwork and the like) rather than real people. Every time I have seen a creator do something with Sims and with Simlish people go crazy for it because most people don't do that. Thats just my 2 cents. *shrugs*

[gazania]

A "needs improvement" forum might be interesting, but with a bit of a twist. And more specific search categories sounds like a great idea! The search here is superior to the search function on many sites, but if you can tighten it up a llittle more, that could be good.

I'm going to reference a certain site, but wait ... not for the usual reason, so please don't scold me! :) On said site, there is a forum for beginners or advanced beginners to post their efforts for comments (preferably constructive). It's geared for someone who might want to test the upload waters or who doesn't upload a lot, or someone who maybe has 90% of something mastered, but juuuuuust needs a little help to get it off the ground and onto the upload page, or someone who has a question as to whether their upload idea would actually garner more than cricket chirps. If the originator of said site doesn't bellow fiercely (and I doubt he would on this), perhaps we could have a forum like that. This might encourage beginners to be brave enough to try uploading.

As for a well of ideas for beginners/advanced beginners (maybe more the latter) here to try, here are a few things that this old lady would love to see. This is just my opinion, and wouldn't even buy a tablespoon of Starbucks:

... More outfits with very short skirts that actually cover the naughty parts, that could nicely accommodate the Hunter or Shaklin mods, but DO have panties. For some reason, those are in short supply on Sims sites. I know. I've been scouring so many adult sites for them that I'm starting to feel like a dirty old lady. I have found some, but not many. A bit of upskirt with a barely-there lacy thong doesn't sound granny-like to me. And oooh ... maybe pair that with a sexy or transparent top? Or maybe one of those outfits that gather a tiny skirt in the back and show a peek of panty? But maybe I'm way too old-fashioned!

... Retro, retro and more retro! Believe it or not, there was erotic clothing around prior to 1990 that wouldn't elicit too many laughs today. A bit of inspiration might be the classic Vargas girls or some of Dita's barely-there outfits. Or a version of that dress that Tawny wore in that Whitesnake video. ("Is This Love")

And judging from the way she's mentioned in some rock songs, maybe one can try for a Barbarella/space-age look. At least a couple of rock stars must find the look erotic! ;)

I'm a bit strapped for sexy retro men's clothes. The best I can think of are certain 70's outfits that left little to the imagination. And with some of those bulge mods ... mmmm mmm mmmm. Just try not to use the ones that some might find a bit girly today. Although ... those might be nice, too. Some of us old ladies and gentlemen really liked those back then.

As Delphy suggested, classic is quite rare, too. Think of slightly-transparent Greek or Roman clothes. Or REAL Egyptian clothes. (NOT 60's "Cleopatra"-style. A wee bit of research might yield the result I'm thinking of.) Or if you want to be a little more 19th-century, in the Empire period, young ladies actually dampened their linen dresses to get the effect they saw on classic Greek female sculpture. A white softly-clinging, wet-look or slightly-transparent Empire dress might be good for an adult or older teen bride's wedding lingerie.

.... For fun and giggles, one can do something really really disgusting (at least according to my kids). Something dark and dirty. Something really repugnant and vulgar: more sexy stuff for elders! (I think someone mentioned that here already. Sorry to steal your idea, girlmemory!) I think it might be fun to see granny and gramps in fetishwear. Believe it or not, just because there's a little snow on the roof doesn't mean that the furnace isn't working! Of course, if that elicits too many vomit responses in people here, that may NOT be a good idea. :) :) :)

,,, More, more, sexy clothes for specific bodyshapes, particularly older, less "dramatic" ones. I personally grin ear to ear when I see more clothes for Warlokk's C and D-cups and 34/36 hips, or Milla shapes, or for Slim bodybuilders, or for Athletic shapes. Can't get enough of those myself. And nips are nice.

And to that person who asked if it was even worth doing Sims 2 stuff anymore ...YES! Not everyone is going to flock to Sims 3 once it comes out. Many of us, for instance, don't know if our computers can handle all the extras, and aren't about to buy an item worth hundreds of bucks for a $25 - 30 game. Many of us are planning to wait awhile and see how others like the game before buying the game ourselves. Just because it comes out on a specific date (and realize that it might possibly not even COME out on that date) doesn't mean that Sims 2 will be automatically kaput. I would guess that Sims 2, though the ranks might be thinned, will still garner quite a bit of interest at least until 2010/2011.

Inbeatz actually did a survey asking how many of its visitors still play the Sims 1. This is Sims 1, dammit. When did Sims 2 come out? 2004? We're talking around four YEARS after the initial Sims 2 EP came out.

16% still play Sims 1. Still.

So while your products might be more niche-like as the years go on, there will probably still be a desire for Sims 2 products for a little while longer. Please, if you have something great to share, do so!

And nattysims and Delphy ... I like you both very much, and there is merit in both your opinions. There should be quality standards, but there should be more of a welcoming atmosphere for new creators, too. There CAN be a happy medium here. It will make my blood pressure go up if you quarrel. And you don't want to make my blood pressure go up, do you? :)

Now, I have to go. I'll add more ideas here if I think of them ... in the WCIF or Requests section. It just seemed that a couple of people here were wondering what they COULD create that hasn't been done hundreds of times before, or doesn't involve porn star wallpaper. I was just hoping to leave a couple of helpful hints.


EDITED the Sims 2 release date. That's what I get for doing a quick Wikipedia search!

EDITED again because I see that JulieJ IS working on fixing that blindfold.

Please keep modding -that would also be on my request list! I heard that Sims 3 was going to try & keep modders out, and who wants to play with out the stuff that makes it fun (no blur, sexy clothes & items). I'm an adult and while I'm not a dirty old lady (or even that old),I want pretty sexy clothes, mods/hacks for my romance sims, and options for adult stuff. I'm not 13 and am not going to play sims like I am.

[WatersMoon110]

This is a very small thing, but I've always wanted to see the drug related objects (I believe there are three left: a cigarette accessory, a bong, and the weed box - there used to be maybe 5) given their own area. Maybe this would inspire people to make more objects of this type?

[Koala84]

I don't understand how download items,forgive me but my english is awful!

[morning0123]

I agree that's good, because my game needs some sexy packaged, so I like this web.

[Tatto]

I agree with all

[wootwoot]

I just wanted to say i love both the sites and keep it up!! :D

[linkexuan]

the download menu is no particular。i hope have particular list if i fine the file.

[AEF251]

My two cents, it would be great if the site did mimic MTS2 in its layout. Now one thing I would love to see here is someone do a series of default meshes that builds on Duddley's work (or Zenman's) of creating default women's meshes that worked for all EPs and SPs.

Then of course updates to all the adult hacks to work with new EPs, new SPs, and so on.

But all of that depends on the commitment of modders, meshers, hackers, and programmers. Saddly nothing I have time or skill to learn. I have barely the time each week to play the game as it is.

But we cannot force people to post items, we can only encourage it by creating a welcoming forum that makes it easy to find ideas and share thoughts.

[manieblue54]

youre site it's fantastic!!!!

[raiderwife25]

Hi Delphy! My thoughts...

I like like the MTS2 format
I think contest would be awesome
I really don't think the forum is a bad idea, but maybe if the layout was more like fequently asked questions...etc

[sagana]

Note: I don't post here nor download much and only come by very rarely, so take my opinions for what they're worth - not a lot. But a couple of suggestions anyway.

What about setting up some group projects like the ones on MTS2. I personally really like those. Or even combine story, contest, and group effort custom content for a theme. I'm hooked on 1920s atm, so my example is that, of course, but whoever was interested could do everything from building lots for burlesque shows to making specifically 20s costumes to 'roaring' stories, etc.

And, just for attracting more people, you might consider emphasizing the 'mature audience' without over-emphasizing the 'sexually based'. There are mature themes and content (and speech) not allowed in the "teen" audience that isn't blatant brothel, so to speak... and if you broaden the genre (or more like the advertising - I'm not saying these things don't exist here), you increase audience, maybe?

And just a note - while MATY's search and navigation functions just fine (:p), MTS2 and associated has a much better search engine than Insim (no offense to anyone associated, I love the site otherwise). I've tried and tried to search for things there and find it tedious and non-functional. I don't have a problem with the search function on these boards.

I *loved* the themes lists from S2C though - and while the Wiki is handy (except where it's very out-of-date), I found them friendlier and more useful actually. Maybe similar sets of themes lists would work here as it's smaller and would help with the community feel.

[jlouis]

I do not change anything on this site, it is very good.
I come regularly to see what's new, I found old downloads that I lost ...
When you play a lot, you change your mind during the year and often I return downloading things that do not interest me before and I am glad to find them still in place.

[fuhya]

I agree with all :D

[CobyCopper]

I'll give you my reasons for not adding anything--I don't like the feel of the site as much as before. Just some annoying things... liked the old style of the downloads section. The new style just turns me off. A few other things... mostly that my theme (Blue Skies) isn't saved with my profile--I don't like the pink coloring at all.

[onespiceybbw]

i do like the new layout a lot; unfortunately i don't get online like i used to, but i think y'all are doing a great job.

:D

[macm09]

i have to agree with the many others that have posted with having contests over here and also with themed sets. Over at MTS2 when the Silver Monkey themed set was released (apart from some confusion with the april fools joke) everybody freaked out and got all excited about it. i even read the thread about the silver monkey set and saw a few people interested in adding to it (even though they cant) but i guess my point is if you introduce a new idea such as a theme set put it forth to the community and i bet you a lot of people would get involved in it, I know I would or even the idea of a contest. I know that I get all psyched when there is a contest at MTS2. I personally would have to agree with sagana when he/she mentioned a 20's theme, there are so many things that one could do for that such as bordellos, costumes, objects from the time period, etc. i really love this site, i really do. I came here all the time when it was first set up but then i began to notice the lack of new content. i got on here on the day of this post and actually saw an outfit on the first page of downloads that i saw back in Februray. i am planning on uploading some things here but my creativity and knowledge lies in lot building but I guess its a start.

I also agree that this site doesn't have to be all about sex. There are other categories that could be utilized here such as violence, drugs, blood and gore. There are very few downloads in these categories.

I personally wouldn't change anything about the layout of the site. I see nothing wrong with it. I feel everything is easy to find. All I have to say about people who can't find what they are looking for in the forums or downloads use the search function on the nav bar.

Well that was my two cents. Keep up the good work and I hope we can get this place hopping again!!

[urbankiwi]

Totally!

[AEF251]

The main key to keeping traffic is having something for people to come for. Which mens modders need to add new material. Things being Sexy Sims, we need tp keep a string of new sexy costumes, new sexy art, new nude hacks and so on.

So maybe the contests and themes is the way to get modders excited. Build the best strip club. Best bordello. Best erotic lingerie design. Sexy outerwear. Etc.

I agree with all

When a new version of a game comes out certain very predictable things happen to the old crowd. Alot of people move on, and those that stay tend to be rather diehard about their love of the original version.

What I would love to see here would be the formation of a unique little community that could gather as much of the old groups/Sites together as possible. One of the keys to keeping this place alive and vibrant is still getting new people involved and I think the knowledge the 'old hands' have could really be helpful.

I have been involved in the Sims since the beginning so I have a pretty good grasp on how meshes and skins work. But for a lot of people it is still just too messy to bother with. Something along the lines of a new set of menus to group items together under their associated meshes might be helpful to newbies. That would help answer things like: 'So I download this file (mesh) and then all these skins work with them?'

i just like to say thank you for all the downloads i reall enjoy them

thank you for adding me to the site

[redordead]

I have something else to add, I'd like a seperate area for selfsims, it would be very good for challenges and stuff to have those that frequent the boards in. I know that lots of people ask for voluteers but it would be nice to have an area just for self sims - somewhere you could put all the details down like starsigns and such. Oh and so you could also put in things like "don't turn me into a homicidal maniac but feel free to do anything else!" Thanks Red

[moondragon77]

Maybe some of this is just echoing what is already said. I apologize for redundancy. In Sims 1, I used Simpose to make a ton of animations. I have tried hard to figure out how to make animations for sims 2, with little to no luck. Does anyone know if simpose2 is ever going to be finished? I have waited for it and searched here in hopes of figuring out some program that will allow me to create animations for sims2 as well. I do own milkshape, but currently feel lost in a myriad of tutorials that almost but not quite explain to me how to get out of creating a mesh and into using a mesh I already have in animations.
That being said, I do have to admit a "newby creator" area would be a lot more encouraging. I make recolors for myself all the time. I have never uploaded one. Why? Because I was honestly too afraid that it would not be good enough quality for the site, and would end up simply in the circular file rather than receiving any constructive criticism. Someplace geared for people who want to tentatively say "this is what I've figured out so far, what do you think" might just give you a surprising flood of responses. Sure, not everyone will be great, but somehow I think there are people out there who would be if they had a place to find out.
Thanks for letting me put in my two cents worth.

[girlmemory2005]

Have to more idea about sims.

[cbryant911]

This maybe off topic, but I don't know where to put site suggestions.

I believe, that this site should have an area where members can post there fan site, that will be great.

[RatLady]

I've been a lurker here for a while, but wanted to chime in with my main issue with this site.
I'd really like to see more updates and support for objects that are already on the site. There are objects that have been problematic, if only slightly, and have had a ton of questions/comments and have never seen an update and barely any support. I stopped looking for updates and new objects when I realized that there was little support for objects that were never quite finished before new projects took hold.
That's not a complaint, just my two cents....I still check back here every once and awhile and I'm very glad to see that there is dialogue and commentary on the future of the site. I'd love to see it grow in downloads and quality.
Thanks for listening to a silent lurker! ;)

[flicker77]

I agree with all~~~

[raven.sza]

Yes!
Me too! :)

[Charonte]

I would like to see a contest forum on the site, and maybe when the main site does a Creator Challenge adult themed items that go with the challenge could be shared here.

[xanvega]

The reason for my silence on this site is simple, I am a quiet person with very little important to say and I am no good at making stories, sims, or anything so I couldn't even do that. I admit, I use this mostly to download stuff... every now and again I will poke around other threads but that is a rarity.

[BooSnoopyChloe]

I am still BEGGING for the return of Q-Xpress!!!! I have seen your justifications in not having it, but downloading ease was one of the biggest reasons I kept returning to this sight, and since I have an older computer, while I was waiting for downloads I would check out the other features of this sight. I am sure I am not alone. Join the Q-xpress bandwagon people, and maybe the site coordinators will be kind enough to grant our request! Thanks all!

[nequam]

no ones ever here.
As the first adult site I stumbled upon, I try and hold an affinity...
but it's pretty dead.

[SensualKarma]

Okay, I'm a really quiet person, or a lurker. I read a lot of the posts when time allows, but mostly skim through things. I have noticed over the months that there has been a drastic decline in quality downloads (mostly clothing issues, where I do everything right and still gives me a wierd picture in the game). I don't know where those issues are coming from because I don't know anything about creating.

What would be nice to see, and to help me stop drooling over Sims in stories, is if possible, for the story writers to take a few minutes and upload some of their sims. I understand that some sites won't let you share CC, but would it be so awful if we were given, say, a "shopping list" where we could find those things?

I don't personally see why there is such a competition among the different CC sites that offer everything for free to keep things only there, as long as it's stated clearly "hair from *site/url*, etc"

So, that's what I think would be great to see happen. 1) The communities coming together and working together 2) Being able to download easily Sims that we drool over 3) To continue being able to enjoy everything fully.

*grins*

[mynxie]

I have enjoyed playing the sims 2 for many years now, and even though I'm actually looking forward to the sims 3 (mostly because no matter what EA games thinks there are far too many talented modders out there to keep them out entire and meshes and mods will still be needed even if recolors are not) But I digress, for this site though I hate to say it, really the largest things lacking is available downloads. I'm a terrible artist when it comes to recolors as well as making the meshes themselves, so I hate to suggest things that I can't contribute to as well. But as a lot of people have already mentioned sexy doesn't have to mean nude or see-thru, a lot of times it's simply the way that you put together an outfit that makes your sims va va voom or a 2 cent hooker, look at hollywood. While I understand that it seems silly to have hair posted on a strickly adult site, or make up (that isn't imitation facials) I think if some of these things were added it could give this site an extra infusion of creative outlets. I don't know if it would be feasible to try and host 2 sets of downloads between modthesims and sexysims if you had creators that were willing to post some of their sex kitten hairs over here or vamped up make up. But still it's a thought.

[imthebanana]

Mate,

Where do you think the site should go from here?

i can help you out with that!

i can find people to do pretty much everything.. from brand new flash splash page to brand new banners and styles..

add imthebanana@hotmail.com to msn and we will have a chat.. if not just email me!

cheers

[lucky133]

what happened to the rest of the red light district? i came on and they were just gone, they are my favorite part of the site

delphy deleted them out of nowhere. no prior warning nothing. nobody likes it but from the looks of it, he wont be putting them back up anytime soon regardless.

my suggestion for the site: pay attention to what the community likes about this site and keep it. regardless of wheather you like it or not its astoundingly rude to just destroy something that everyone loves and without any prior warning

I laughed when I fully understood that I was being told I should go to other sites. Obviously they want the site to die. The creators left when all their stuff was removed, and everybody else left when these two forums were removed. I wonder how long it'll be before they alienate the lurkers as well...

This entire thread is nothing but a ruse.

if you read the other forum (which is now locked) they said this site was never meant to have a community anyway. it was just meant to host all the adult content for modthesims2.

modthesims2 has gotten rid of most of its forums, now all the site does is give you content or teach you how to make your own, they dont even take requests anymore.

i think they're trying to get all of us who dont actually upload stuff (i've tried, but it never gets accepted) to go to sims2community. i can kinda understand that, but still it was just stupid to delete the forums out of nowhere without any prior warning or at least transfering the threads to some place else so we could continue the discussion there.

If neither site was meant to have a community then it makes little sense to require users to register. I guess with this site they were trying to comply with the law, but I doubt it would fall under such laws anyway.

With no community there'd be no site, or I guess I should say will be.

[henrythesecond]

Well Delphy, you want advice on how to improve the site? Yeah, I know what Delphy says is what goes because it's not a democracy. I also know that when you're right and everybody else is wrong, it's time to re-consider what's right, democray or lack thereof be damned, and wise kings always listened very closely to what their people said, even though they didn't have to-why then do you even have this thread if you thought otherwise? I also know that if you want a site to succeed, you have to think of it like a business in some ways, and that means pleasing regular customers-it means developing a community. Now, you deleted the Mud Pit-bad move. Yeah, I know people weren't spending all of their time in intellectual discussions about sex and technical issues, they were fussing about UFO's and the Westboro Baptist Church-so what? It's what they wanted. I, along with everybody else, was under the impression that was what the forum was for. The thing is that forum was the very heart of the community that made SXS2. No, you said didn't like that forum and I'm sure you had your reasons, but if it works, you gotta run with it irregardless what you may think of it, otherwise the site fails-and that's polite reality, Delphy. It was how Maxis made this game in the first place-they delivered what the players wanted. Will Wright himself said the programmers learned from the players with this game-I'd follow that example. Without a community, that means no lurkers, no pervies, and worse, no creators, and you're sunk. It's that simple. So, if I were you, I'd very strongly re-consider replacing the Mud Pit. Otherwise, I have to seriously question the future of this site.

[ShadowPanther]

[QUOTE=henrythesecond]Without a community, that means no lurkers, no pervies, and worse, no creators, and you're sunk.QUOTE]

agreed. I do have some stuff to upload (along with a few nice items that was lost in the crash) but I dont feel like uploading them or any more stories if delphy's going to treat his registered users like this. which would be sad, ss2 is the only site where I can curse and make sexual references all I want/need in my stories. but that's still not enough for me to try to upload anything if delphy is just gonna delete it out of nowhere if he doesnt like it.

[henrythesecond]

Thank you for agreeing with me, ShadowPanther. Here's something of interest I found in another thread. The following was posted by DiscordKitty under the thread "New Forums Added" in November 2006:

The Mud Pit is something we're trying out. It's less restrictive, aimed at debate, heated and controversial discussions/opinions. The moderating here will be a lot lighter so you can freely express your opinions without fear of being reprimanded. Of course rules do apply here as well, but not as many. We don't tolerate illegal discussion but you can more freely express yourself. Again, make sure you read the announcement there prior to posting as well as the guidelines.

Clearly the Mud Pit was an astounding success, yet they canned it. It does not make sense to present what's clearly a no-holds barred community style forum, then claim it was never intended to be. If I'd been running the site, I would have expanded that forum, not deleted it. Like we used to say in the Navy, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it". The thing is, sites, like TS2 itself, is something that evolves. A wise administrator knows that the best you can hope for in something you've created is about half of what you expected to get from it, and the other half you have to accept.

[ShadowPanther]

and funny enough, i've just been informed through a pm of another adult sims2 website that ironically is far superior to this in everyway, so screw this site and it's astoundingly stupid owner. with someone like him the mts2 ring is just gonna turn to utter bullshit really really fast. trust me, i've seen it before.

[HystericalParoxysm]

Oh, seriously grow the fuck up and quit whining.

Clearly, Delphy being in charge of MTS2 and all its sites has run it into the ground, considering he's been running the damn things THE ENTIRE TIME THEY HAVE EXISTED. Nobody visits any of the sites anymore cos they're just such utter crap, and MTS2 hasn't gained a reputation as being one of the best sites out there because of Delphy's leadership and skills at developing the site... :rolleyes: </sarcasm>

This site is about adult downloads. That is the sole purpose it was created - to be a place we could put the adult downloads that could not go on MTS2 anymore. 99.9% of everyone involved in those forums were not creators and not involved with the main reason for the site existing. When we look in a forum and see that almost all of the threads therein are utter and complete rubbish and that nobody participating in them is involved in the main reason for this site's existence, we remove them. Other forums were created as an experiment to see if they'd be useful and used properly, something we were trying out to see how well it would work. Upon review, the General Discussion and Mud Pit areas were full of threads that didn't belong there - Game Help that belonged on MTS2, support for individual mods that belonged in those threads, non-adult debates that belonged on S2C, and threads that were more advice threads than debates. Those forums weren't working and in looking them over we didn't see enough threads to consider the forums worth salvaging, so they got removed.

If we gave in every time someone threw a temper tantrum about things changing, the sites would be chaos. We've weathered all sorts of change that people had concerns about - the halfway intelligent, mature ones voiced their feelings without throwing a hissy fit and threatening to throw their toys out of the pram. We've had people leave because they just can't deal with change, and strangely enough, all of the sites still exist and get plenty of visitors. The sites have survived, even when a couple individuals get snippy and rude and decide to leave. You want to leave, fine - we're not forcing anyone to stay, and we've seen plenty of people move on from all the sites for various reasons. There are only a handful of people upset about this, and a handful of people do not a community make. You're not a paying customer, and this is a hobby for all of the staff. You want to get abusive, fine - I then don't have any problem telling you to fuck off and that we'll survive just fine without you.

For those of you that -are- keeping level heads, this is not directed at you, and I thank you for your thoughts and suggestions. Thank you for your advice and suggestions - we will take them under consideration in reviewing ways we can improve the site.
