Idk if all this was worth it, but nobody can ever say I'm not stubbornly determined when I want to be. I even downloaded a frickin QR scanning app because the camera on my phone from 2015 couldn't do it. 😩

Hello this [censored] from thesimsworldnew. ru website. I was wondering if there was a way for me or you to delete my account from that website? If so, please let me know. If not, can you help me find someone who can help? Thank you.

We don't delete accounts. If you don't want an account at Simscave anymore simply don't log in again. And if you meant if I can delete your account at thesimsworldnew.ru that's also a no, I have nothing to with that site and due to language barrier can't help with figuring out how to delete account there either. :(

hi, what happened to the older ts2 updates? i can't see them.

@ anonymous, the old Simscave updates are still at the site, under Updates Archive and it should be visible to everyone according to board settings. If you mean there are lots of dead images that's unfortunately not something that can be helped, image hosts die all the time and they tend to take the pictures down with them. :(

[Link in question]

Hello anon! :-D unfortunately, I couldn't find it re-uploaded anywhere :-( the original filename was: Children Clothing____.rar

Does anyone have this download and could re-upload for anon? :-)

And while we're at it, this download by flipflop is missing as well:

The original filename seems to have been: Romantic Chiffon by FlipFlop.rar or ______Romantic Chiffon by FlipFlop.rar

the first image seems to have game.ali link written on it and surprisingly it still works: https://game.ali213.net/thread-2298630-1-2.html if it wasn't hosted on Baidu (or some Chinese host that has now died) it might still be there. ah dammit I just realized that the attachments don't show up unless you have account and are logged in. IIRC it wasn't horribly hard site to register at and they don't have any silly point system where each file costs points you earn by posting. Has tons of older files too so it's a good resource. But just heads up about that.

Internet Cafe Sign + Other Neon Signs by EleanorSims

Internet or cyber cafes were a staple of the 90s as more people began to use the World Wide Web. You can create your own internet café for your 90s sims and put this nifty sign out front. In some countries, cyber cafes are still in use today. In parts of Asia, they are popular hangouts for gaming.

The additional neon signs like the PacMan and Arcade may come in handy for your 80s sims, too!

First of all, let me just say that I absolutely love the response to the call to action to save GoS. It's jaw-droppingly awesome, heartwarming, incredibly inspirational and many other good things! Thank you all for volunteering your time to this massive undertaking! I appreciate each and every one of you doing this. ♥️♥️♥️

Since the GoS archiving operation seems to be going swimmingly, let's talk about the next step for the MediaFryer Project: the SimsCave.

The SimsCave is not just a place to get the newest CC Updates, but it's also an active forum and important archive for long-gone sites. This means that there is a lot of cc, the biggest bulk behind a login wall. Much of this cc is hosted on mediafire and thus likely to get deleted come January.

So, in order to preserve all of this very important simming history, this library of cc, we need to download all the mediafire cc from the SimsCave as well. And we can't do it without your help

So, how do we start?

Well, by using the link provided in the GoS post (or at the bottom of this post), you can now access the "SimsCave" spreadsheet (check the bottom left). The system works exactly as the GoS sheet. Just note your name down in the "Archivist" column and start downloading that section. Once you're done, you set your "Progress" to "Done/finished/etc." and create a folder on your file host of choice which you link in the "Directory" column. This ensures we can work as efficiently as possible.

With your help we have managed to archive most of GoS within a day. Together we can save yet another site. So please. If you have any spare time, help us save the Mediafire CC from SimsCave. Together we can save it all.

That was November/early December, I think. I am still twiddling my thumbs...

I have tried with both my username and my email, and the page says that I will receive an email shortly, however, I do not get any emails. It has not gone into the spam folder, as I have checked there as well.

This post is for all you who have forgotten your passwords, usernames etc at Simscave: 

The fastest/most reliable way to get back in is to just make a new account and use that. Use this option if you’re not attached to your username and/or don’t want to edit your old posts.

If you absolutely want your old account back pm Sorasunao with the new account and I’ll help you get access to your original account back, I’ll need your username & email address you registered the account with (+ in case the old email no longer exists then a new email where I can send you the new password to)

This is because I log here very rarely and just learned that apparently tumblr no longer sends me email notifications of messages so I won’t notice messages posted here.

Hey everyone. Sorry for the lack of updates the last couple of days. Holiday stuff (rl&sims) tends to make archiving and writing updates difficult.

However, despite the Holiday season, work did not stop. In fact, it progressed very nicely. At this point in time only GoS's Request and wcif sections need to be downloaded. SimsCave is also almost done, with only the Saving the Sims (1) Archives and a few Sims 3 subforums still needing to be rescued. It is truly mindblowing how much has been done!

In any case, it's time to talk about the End-of-2020 CC-hoarding-sprint.

First of all, I'm asking everyone to look at the blogs spreadsheet to see if there's any that need to be added. So, if you don't see a certain mediafire-using blog on the sheet, add it!

I'm also asking people to submit any sims 1 sites or blogs to the TS1 sheet.

So, recently you may have seen @simsmadegeeky's tutorial on Octoparse. Well, they made both a Preset for Octoparse to make it easier to gather links and a spreadsheet for tracking sites that can be crawled with Octoparse. This has the potential to drastically speed up the entire archiving operation, especially on the livejournal, dreamwidth and tumblr front. (Both linked down below)

This is especially important, looking at the current status of the Default Database archiving operation. Most of the clothing sections still need to be done. By crawling the blogs of big-time defaulters (who use(d) mediafire), we can save a lot of time and effort.

Another Database we may want to look at is allthehairs. The spreadsheet for this will be up soon. I'm unsure if we can get it all done before the end of the year, but as the last couple of days have proved: The Sims Community is capable of great acts of data-hoarding and distribution in a very short amount of time.

2020 has been a rather awful year in all regards. Let's take the last days of the year to fight back against all this awfulness and enter 2021 with a bang. Spread the word, the more the merrier! We're gonna download everything we can and your help is NEEDED! the best time to join is NOW!
