#ts2defaults

Let's start with the good news: Garden of Shadows is almost fully archived. But a few sections remain to do. All thanks to your hard work and dedication. Thank you! You're all real life heroes. The SimsCave sheet has also been filling up nicely and I'm pretty sure we can get it all done.

But, the big forums aren't the only places that need arvhiving. @esotheria-sims @rudhira and zerodark have been working on saving the mediafire links from the default database, but they need your help saving the defaults. The database is a vital part of the sims 2 cc community and to see much of the content it links to disappear would be a disaster. The Default Database needs your help.

So, if you have any spare time left this holiday season, just pick a category and help us out.

Now, there are a few details that need pointing out: when you upload the defaults to your file host of choice, please create a seperate folder for each defaulted outfit (so, for example: one for pubodydress and one for pubodytuxedo).

If you find a blog with many MediaFire links, please alert @sims2packrat

If you haven't participated in the MediaFryer Project before, here is your chance: we need all hands on deck. Every little bit of help is greatly appreciated.

Hey all, so if you've seen the last update about the Default Database sheet: it has been fixed. I had to rewrite most of the sheet, but progress is continuing. I'm also backing it up regularly just in case. Nobody is actively working on clothing defaults at this moment, but hopefully we'll see that change soon (Tbh I wouldn't even wish the tsk of archiving all of the Adult Female Outfits section on my worst enemy). Anyways, I'm glad to see so many people helping out!

I also took the liberty of adding a sheet for individual blogs (dreamwidth livejournal and tumblr) that make heavy use of MediaFire. I've tried to use Octoparse to automate the process, but so far all my attempts failed to retrieve anything. If anyone would like to give it a try (manual or with octoparse or similar) just pick a blog and follow the tutorial by @simsmadegeeky. If you know of any blogs that haven't been put on the list yet, feel free to do so. Do be sure to check sims2packrat's list before doing so as they've also been very busy archiving blogs.

I've also received a couple of messages about archives, so I'll be downloading those as soon as I'm back at my pc.
