Hi, Brit!

Sorry to hear about your problems! Hope you heal up as quickly as possible!

Sadly, the game designers made decisions that completely changed the file format for Sims 2, so nothing is forward or backward compatible. A few Sims 1 sites were making their objects with screen shots of 3d meshes, so they had a head start on making Sims 2 objects. I think all of our stuff here is Sims 2; if you have any particular needs, I can dig through my stuff from the Wooden Simolean to find something similar.

Yeah, Persimmon Grove is great! Parsimonious is another good site that still has TS1 stuff. I also like Around The Sims; although some of their items are pay, one tiny donation gives you access to all donation items forever. Sandy also has bookmarks to a few Sims 1 sites that are still updating; I just noticed that feature while testing my links for you! Both these sites are updating too! I'm not sure if Clivia is still updating Sims Deco, but I did make matching appliances for the Pointe de Diamant kitchen back in the day, which was one of my most popular downloads.

It sounds like you're interested in recoloring and making new objects; do you have Transmogrifier yet? That's the Sims 1 tool you need.

BTW, we do have a section here for the Ultimate Sims List; as you find dead links/squatter sites/etc., report them and Greg will remove them. Sorry you got electronic germs from a squatter!

I do think a Where Can I Find would be handy, for both games. Oh, Greg....
