David and Kristin's Sims

Some recolored objects. Paintings by Ansel Adams and Claude Monet. No skins. Nifty wood floor, and some
marble floors. Some walls. The on-line pictures are really too small to tell, but the cabinets in "sets"
look pretty nice. Hosted on Tripod.

Designer Sims Inc.
|
Large collection of clothing for women in several categories. The front page seems to have some
odd formattng that causes it to come up mostly blank; scroll to the bottom to find links to the rest
of the site. Has bandwidth problems, so visit early in the month and be selective about what you
download. Hosted on Homestead.

Destiny Sim
|
Nicely done original clothing. Don't overlook the links at the
bottom of the page.
Pasiphae says, "The wallpaper set has some walls that could
be stone blocks. Original bricks, too -- really nice work, but
of course bricks are made of clay so they wouldn't fit in as
Livin' Luna item unless you want to assume they're really tinted
concrete."

Devil's Den

Devil's Den is a shop at Candace's Sim Bazaar, which you can reach from

skins for all fit body types for men, women, boys, and girls and a very large collection

Doctor Frankensim's Laboratory
|
Primary emphasis is on presentation of a large number of innovative and unusal skins for Sims. Also
offers two peculiar objects. Guest artists offer some nice artwork for your sims to hang on their
walls. Site theme is horror; not recommended for small children, but lots of fun for everyone
else. The web site itself is quite a work of art.
CAUTION: Brief background music.
Pasiphae says, "A great place for stone walls! Lotsof beautifully rendered stone walls!
I'll bet the Doc didn't know he was Livin' Luna when he made all those walls for his medieval village!"
Caddy says, "Some of those stone walls are a tad macabre for downtown Luna City, but if you
venture out toward the Overmyer Shelf, you never know what you'll find!
"On October 31, web hosting costs forced Doctor Frankensim to remove the downloads from this site.
He has released his stuff on CDROM, which is available for $20 plus $5 shipping through your PayPal account. Click
on the icon below to go directly to the page about the CD."

Elegant Sim Fashions

18 Feb 2004: It says here: "Website closing not accepting new memberships"
17 Nov 02: Several folks have asked what happened to the entry for ESF. On November 4, 2002, the
webmaster asked that we remove the link; so we did. We'll put this entry back for the
sake of completeness, but without the link or our review of the site.
Moved from Crosswinds to their own registered domain on
SimsHost on June 1, 2002. Moved
to another host on October 25, 2002 to create a new independent subscription site
($5.50 a month) with a la carte shopping.

EliSims
|
EliSims is a Windows program for managing multiple neighborhoods. No downloads here; just the program and
related information. Requires Windows 95 to run. Not compatible with Livin' Large or House Party, and
available only for Windows, so its utility seems to be quite limited.
Update: 10 Sep 01: Elisims 2.1 has just been released. It's compatible with House Party, and has
some added features!

Elizabeth's Department Store
|
The site appears to have been lost. Following is the original entry:
Elizabeth's clothing for all categories of sims includes some really nice original designs. Don't overlook
the menu offering subcategories for Everyday, Work, Formal, Party Wear, and Swimwear. Also offers
furniture and furnishings in most categories. You can outfit your home in bamboo! Has a page dedicated
to a SimPose contest, where you get to try to outdo others' poses. Hosted on Topcities.
Pasiphae says, "A glass brick counter! That's the most original Livin' Luna item I've found
yet! There's a matching end table, and in the Building department I found matching glass brick
column, all made by Cellomaster."
Caddy says, "I really like the clean site layout. It has fast response and is easy to navigate
once you get used to the navigation menu being on the right-hand side. Um, just like another site
I've seen recently...
"On the other hand, I hatethis obnoxious little window that sits there and randomly
launches advertising pages! It's enough to make me avoid anything hosted on Topcities. Try turning off
Javascript before you visit Elizabeth's site; but if you do, her links page won't work for you."

En Plain Aire
|
Originally named Sims R.E. 101, the site changed its name to En Plain Aire
on November 25, 2002.
Let your hostess, Miss Simthia, take you around town on a shopping
trip among the many of houses available from En Plain Aire.
Watch the buttons that list the lot numbers in each category; if you see a
blue border, that means you've found a house to tour. Miss Simthia will show
a great variety of themes and styles in Sims real estate.
The entry for each house includes a description and price for the house, and links
to larger images. The houses you download are unfurnished except for some walls and floor,
but the site has pictures with furnishings that really show off the architecture.
Visit the "goodies" section for links, the guest book, news, and
something special. :)
Don't miss the growing collection of clothing for Miss Simthia! She has something
special for all your lady sims, always in Miss Simthia's timeless style!
Caddy says, "The dramatic black-and-white layout really grabs my attention!
The webcraft design and style stands out among the technicolor, three-dimensional
graphics that have become so ubiquitous in the world of the web."
This is one of more than sixty great Sims sites hosted by
SimsHost.
You'll want to subscribe to SimsHost so you can download the goodies.

Exclusive Sim Designs

After a period of time offline, this site has reopened as "Sim Fever & Exclusive Sims." However, due to hosting costs, this
is now a pay site.
In December 2001, the Site Formerly Known As Sims Art reopened in solid gold at a new URL and immediately earned
Pasiphae's Livin' Luna emblem.
Pasiphae says, "Your moon sims will enjoy the Wrought Iron set; absolutely Livin' Luna! While
you are in the neighborhood make sure to pick up some plants to keep the air fresh in your habitat."

Flaming Sims
The Sims @ Eternal Gaming
|
Apparently permanent off line.
11 Apr 03: Problems with domain names lead Flaming Sims to change their name to The Sims @ Eternal Gaming, but it's the same site that has been on line for years, expanding their collection of goodies. Also known as ea-hq.net. Lots of furniture sets. Special items for The Sims Hot Date. Some really strange skins. There are lots of categories to browse through, so prepare yourself for a shopping adventure.
The elegant PHP-driven user interface can be a little complex to learn. We couldn't get the downloads to work with IE on MacOS, but it works fine with Windows. Accepts guest submissions. We got pop-up ads from some pages.
The site has a user registration system that enables you to post comments and do some other interesting things we haven't tried yet. Registration is free.
Operates an egroup on Yahoo in the UK.

Flesh Dolls
|
Gene closed the site on 21 January 2002, not due to network or hosting problems, but because he decided he would
prefer to do other things. His stuff will continue to be available on line for an indefinite time. Click on
the small "FleshDolls.com" link at the bottom of Gene's note to get to the site.
If you need a zombie or a tiger girl in your game, this is the place to look. Recently added some adult females
in decorated t-shirts. Offers some intriguing anti-grav furniture and other off-beat objects with customized
behaviors. The Strut-Your-Stuff mirror is a popular item. Objects are being added in sundry categories.
Moved from The Sims Resource in October 2001; so now Flesh Dolls has dramatically improved response
time but has to cope with worries about bandwidth limitations.
It's safe to go back to Flesh Dolls now. We added Flesh Dolls back to this list after the
webmaster removed a feature that denied access to visitors who got baited in by a "warez" link. Webmaster
Glen Cotterill ("Sliver") exlained that he was curious about whether he could make it work, but having accomplished
the task, realized it wasn't a good idea.
