News and Updates!
« on: December 06, 2011, 06:09:24 pm »

Hi guys!
Welcome back to the forum download center!
It took me a while to get it going because I also moved all your nice comments, the ratings and the view counter. There are still some things that need some fixing (e.g. the search function only shows one page right now, grr) but overall it works fine. Hope you'll find your way around easily!
It also took a day longer because my husband was too busy at work to change the links on the server.

The reasons for moving back here are many and outweight any potential problems I'll have with the dl center and future forum updates. First and foremost I missed you! The Coppermine system refused to show the shoutbox decently (it was unreadable) and it was very complicated for you to leave comments. Now that we're back here I hope to hear from you guys again. ^^
(Not fishing for compliments here, I honestly just feel lonely and ever since I played Sims3 on the Playstation3 it's getting harder to stay properly interested in Sims1. It'd be nice to hear about your games.)

Download to your heart's content! You can find all regular downloads if you click "Sims Downloads" at the top of the forum. Some things may also show up in this board instead, like houses, replacements for Maxis meshes or the occasional skin which requires a mesh that may not be included. I don't want to put such things in the download center, all things up there shall be complete.
Everything in this board and in the Downloads is available to guests and registered members alike, you don't have to register for an account unless you want to leave comments or wreak havoc with the rating system. (It's just in good fun, I don't cry if you vote something as terrible, no matter if you just voted badly because you hate a specific theme or actually found the download hideous. *gg* Hey, even I find some of my downloads hideous - especially after the cheap monitor got replaced and all the "light peachy" walls were screaming orange all of a sudden on the good monitor. Some wallpapers make my eyes bleed.)
Feel free to comment here or in the downloads, and if you ever stumble about something broken please let me know in some way or the other. I'm always glad if someone tells me about broken or borked things, there's just too many to not have something slip through.
Oh, and if you think a set is missing a vital part (like the Ivory Castle was with Eisbaer's neat castle additions!) it never hurts to make a suggestion. I have sooo many things that I may clone that I can't remember them all out of my head and I also stopped looking for new ones a while ago.

Without further ado, to the downloads!

New today is a recolour of Beewitched's lovely Santa Bags:
(Aaaaah, how I missed this nice update function too. ^^ Click "Details" to be taken to the download page right away.)
Sadly Beewitched was hit by some script kiddie jerk who hacked her sites, so be careful when following the credit link. I keep my fingers crossed Faeriewitch can get things sorted out!

I'll try to upload something every 1-3 days. The problem is... I have 40 updates ready for the go but I'm too embarassed about most of them to upload them as a standalone because it's just a set of rugs or lamps and you might not like such tiny things and be disappointed. So I guess I have to make more things so I can upload two at once. Some of them linger in my upload folder for a year and I'm always... too embarassed.   :-[
It's also why I don't dare to make objects of my own. All the creators left make high-quality 3D content or are as good as Madoria, so I'm not confident enough to handdraw something. It's okay for wooden boxes but most things I want are mushrooms or plant-structures and those are hard to pull off decently.

Sorry if I'm doing this wrong, but the past few updates all lead to a index.php file instead of a zip file. I never had issues before, not even after the move back. Did anything go wrong?

Hm, that is weird. They come up correctly as zip's for me and I deleted my browser cache yesterday so there's nothing outdated. There was a problem with the gallery and the sims downloads clashing but that was fixed in the gallery code, so nothing changed about the sims.
I'm sorry you can't download right now.  :(

Can you please right-click on a picture and choose "copy link location" (if you use Firefox or Mozilla, I don't know what it's called in IE or others) and paste that link in your post?
Then my husband might be able to see what the problem is.

I cleared my cache but that was no help. Strange, since I've never before had any issues with downloading.

This is what I get when I copy the download link. Is it possible that the download has been restricted to members of the forum? (cuz then I'll just sign up)

Hm, that link of yours leads me directly to the zip download, even as a guest in a different browser. I checked all permissions but they seem fine. I also changed the way the link urls are made, maybe that has an effect.
I tried downloading as a guest in 3 browsers and it worked, but you can try to sign up and see if it helps you. (Users can always delete their account themselves if they feel uncomfortable.) Maybe it's a cookie problem?

I'll ask my husband later to reactivate the Coppermine website for a moment so I can remove the bridge to the forum and deinstall it once and for all. Maybe that thing clashes with some of your cookies or anything.

Did I get that right - you were able to download from the forum at first but then it stopped working for you?

Today there's a recolour of a Parsimonious livingroom. I already made a purple version once but liked it enough to make another.
Heute gibt es eine Umfärbung eines Parsimonious Wohnzimmers. Ich habe schon mal eine violette Version davon gemacht, mochte es aber gut genug um noch eine Farbe zu wollen.


Sadly my kinda-advent-calendar already came to a halt thanks to the terrible heating system in our new flat. Last night we slept a whopping 3 hours and I'm just exhausted and depressed. (3 hours is a lot, we had less sleep here...) Later today we're gonna rip the toeboard from the wall to check out if we can find out where those awful noises come from.
My apologies in advance if I can't keep updating regularly. Too tired to make more stuff right now or even check the expansion requirements of finished stuff for uploading. -_-


Leider gerät mein fast-Adventskalender bereits ins Stocken dank der fürchterlichen Heizung in unserer neuen Wohnung. Letzte Nacht haben wir glorreiche 3 Stunden geschlafen und ich bin einfach nur müde und deprimiert. (3 Stunden sind sogar schon viel, wir hatten hier schon weniger...) Heute abend werden wir die Fußleiste von der Wand reißen um zu sehen ob sich herausfinden läßt woher diese furchtbaren Geräusche kommen.
Ich entschuldige mich schon im Voraus dafür wenn ich nicht regelmäßig updaten kann. Zu müde um jetzt was neues zu machen oder auch nur die benötigten Erweiterungen für fertige Sets nachzuschlagen. -_-

I was always able to download. I downloaded till after the christmas sacks items.

As you can see, I signed up. It didn't help. I cleared my cache, my cookies, that didn't help either.

I copied the download link in Internet Explorer (I use Firefox version 8.0.1.) and that did work! So, it's a workaround for now, but at least it works!!

(oh yeah, no need to rush for fixing it or so. You have more important things going on that a single user who can't download :))

I am having the same problem with downloading the new stuff in Firefox.  But the IE workaround works, so Thank you!

Okay, then it's definitely something about the thumbnail view clashing between the galleries and the Sims downloads. The day after the Christmas sacks the forum was broken and I fixed something in the gallery code as a workaround. Thanks for the clues, you two!
I will set up a test system and see if I can fix that for good over the holidays when my husband is at home too. Not being compatible with Firefox versions is an outrage for an IE hater like me!  :P

I'm glad you guys found a way to download in the meantime. After a night spent on a matrace in my doll room I feel slightly more awake too, lol. An update might be coming up later. ^^
