Now we’ll take a look at some of the best places to find Sims skins or additional content for the game. Most of them charge for membership but they open up a wealth of content which far surpasses what you might get in an expansion pack. The websites that popped up to support the original game have mostly either disappeared or they have grown bigger. Having more variety and choice when choosing characters and building houses adds to the fun and expansion packs are very expensive. The Sims and The Sims 2 are both the kind of games that benefit from additional content. My original Sims neighbourhood had Sean Connery living in a castle with several wives, Darth Vader living in giant house that looked like a tie fighter with two gay stormtroopers and a horror house which was home to Freddy Krueger, Michael Myers and Jason Voorhees. The majority of new skins for The Sims were based on famous characters. Unfortunately for us many of the websites producing skins and objects now charge for their services. This practice has continued and skins for The Sims 2 can also be found. Some of the best sites for Sims skins had a fantastic array of characters to choose from. It was possible to download huge amounts of additional content for absolutely free.
Amateur modders and skinners created new objects, textures and models for the game. One of the best things about the original Sims game was the community which grew around it.
