Here is where I reblog other simblr posts I enjoy  ❤

Wayback Machine is a GREAT tool. It just has a few issues. The number one issue is that it isn't great at crawling. Normal HTML sites are no problem but more complex sites like forums and especially blogs are hard for it to navigate. It tends to get only very small pieces of LiveJournal for example. The entire official Sims 3 forum from 2009-2017(?) is just gone because Wayback wasn't able to access it.

As I've talked about over the past few years, I'm trying to archive a lot of CC with Archive.org. This works well for most older sites but not so well with newer ones. Plus, I'm focusing on custom content more than webpages and stories.

Stories, that people put hours and hours into, legacies, forum posts, pictures, blog posts, all things that are just TOO numerous for me to even make a dent in on my own.

Buuuut, if I could get a bunch of simmers who were actively viewing blogs and downloading content and reading forum posts to archive every post they viewed that could do something!

Wayback Machine Auto-Archiver is a bot that archives all PUBLIC webpages that you visit to the wayback machine. Think of it as a bot that follows you around taking a shot of every blog you visit. Obviously, this isn't just for Sims content but it would certainly help the community who may go looking for the content that you archived after it's LONG gone from the internet.

The auto-archiver is a simple extension. If you're running Chrome or Edge you simply install it like any other extension and then you surf the web like always.

The more simmers who use it, the more content gets archived. Also, it's entirely anonymous. If you're a lurker and you've never made or posted anyway, think of this as a way to give back!

Download it here and please reblog!

(I will be reblogging this post several times)

Just an update: The auto-archiver WILL download custom content under certain circumstances. It always grabs pages but if custom content is deliberately hard to reach (such as behind adfly or TSRs timer, automatic archiver won't grab it) It DOES seem to grab MTS downloads (which are archived under skuld.modthesims.com) but if content is behind a login page it won't necessarily get it. (Sometimes it will sometimes it won't. It depends on how the website it set up, I guess?)

As it turns out, Mediafire content CAN be archived by this so if you visit a Mediafire page it will grab what's there, but Mediafire uses hundreds of subdomains. It seems hit or miss. If you want to mirror content you can use the direct crawler available through Internet Archive. On the bottom right of this page, enter your URL if you're unsure if a page you're viewing will be grabbed by autoarchiver.

Again, PLEASE reblog this so more people see it. Having people automatically archive their own webpages and sim related content they view will be incredibly helpful in helping us preserve the community's hard work!

Sava Glass Doors

As soon as I saw this door on an Instagram post I knew I had to have it in my game, so here it is!

This is a set with 4 new items:

  • 1 door and 3 arches
  • 8 swatches
  • Small and medium sizes
  • Transparent and dark glass
  • In Sliding Door V2 (last one on the right) part of the mesh is actually inside the walls, so if you place a window or a door right next to it you'll be able to see the hidden part.

Other items shown in preview by @cowbuild and @winner-9.

Giveaway Prizes

These were meant to be two items only but I got a little carried away.

First, we have the Secretlab TITAN Evo gaming chair, with 5 swatches - including the K/DA swatch requested by @gundambluethings. I removed details on one side of the chair to keep the quality of the item while reducing drastically the polycount (which is still around 20K, god bless). I also made the brand's lumbar pillow and head pillow as separated accessories (deco).

Second, we have two night lights/kids lamps, requested by @msquan89. They will keep monsters under the bed away from your children's nights.

I think these requests are really calling for a kids/teenage bedroom set... What do you think?

Christmas Gift!

Hey guys! I made a set of modular curtains to dress beautifully our windows!

The set consists of 28 new items: curtains for short and medium walls and separated rods for easy and flexible placement. The linen curtains have 18 swatches and the sheer ones have 2. You can find them by searching "Kendal" in your catalog.

Anyways, thank you so much for sticking around. Happy Holidays!

Rivers Bedroom Set

And here it is! This set is where I put all my sweat and tears as an amateur beginner 3d artist. Every item was made with so much love, I really hope you'll like them!

More info and download after the cut.

Allen Seating Set

Sofas and chairs for every taste and occasion!

This set includes:

  • 24 new meshes, all base game compatible;
  • Two sets of sectional sofas - that I, unfortunately, could not merge in a single file, as the models were too complex to fit in a single texture;
  • A tufted leather loveseat, accompanied by a living chair;
  • A tufted velvet loveseat, accompanied by a living chair;
  • Extras pieces for the previous sets of sofas that I made before, as requested.
  • I tried to fill every request made by my patrons. Only one sofa/chair couldn't be done because I couldn't find enough info or images to model it after. Sorry!
  • I'll hear no complaints about polycount when you keep asking for tufted furniture! ☠️
  • The Borromeo (angular seats) sofa pieces need some alt-placement help.
  • Corner pieces are not functional when placed in the middle of two other pieces. Not like your sims would sit there anyway!
