UVMapper - Texture Map Creation Utility
|
Not a Sims site, but a utility from Steve Cox Consulting to create texture maps often used by Sims skinners and object makers.
The utility is available for both Windows and MacOS. It creates texture maps from .obj object files,
which are the lingua franca of the 3D meshing community. See Jerome's Guide to creating 3D body meshes for notes on how to convert The Sims .skn skin
files to standard .obj object files.
You can also use Bodywarp to create UVMaps directly
from .skn files.

V&F's SimSanity
|
Includes the complete collection of Vixie's Sim Art. Walls, floors, roofs, and skins.
Cartoon skins. Hosted on Metamorphsites.
Pasiphae says, "I found a picture of a lunar eclipse here! Also some stone and
marble walls, but I can't quite get them to look good when they're tiled."
Caddy says, "I like the site layout, except for the pointless frame at the top. There
a few problems with links that still point to Vixie's hard drive, but I'll bet that gets fixed
really quick. In the mean time, you can still navigate the pages of art by opening the frame
in a new window and manually editing the URL."

Velaria's Simgirls
|
Offers some of the prettiest and best-executed faces available for The Sims. A set of faces fits
any of several different meshes with varying hair styles. Hosted by Moon Sims.
We rescued the Simgirls from the TerraShare shutdown.)
Carla says, "I love the cheesecake theme!"
Pasiphae says, "I'm really grateful to Velaria for lending me her very own face!"
Caddy says, "I suppose the pretty girls make up for background music, frames, and
scrolling messages. I like the flowers."

VWmonkey's The Sims Site
|
Skins of several rock bands, with faces carefully crafted rather than just photographs pasted in.
Some bold walls. Apparently hasn't been updated since September 2000, but back then he had the
goal of making the site a repository for all the major rock bands.

Whimsical Designs
|
Lots of houses for every lot, with wallpapers, floors, and murals to go with them. The house designs look like real
upper-middle-class houses, complete with garages.

Wild Sims
|
Half a dozen skins and some walls. Lots of unrelated links to commercial services
like amazon.com.

Wishpoosh's Sims
|
Skins of the X-men comic book characters. We couldn't get the navigation menu to work. The site launches a Java applet,
but we couldn't figure out what it does. Hosted on Geocities.

Wonderland Sims
|
New (in September 2001) from Uncle George! A kid-safe Sims site with Uncle George's legendary
wit and charm. Read the "Wonderland Gifts" section for notes on how Uncle George
is working to make ends meet and keep his site on line. Turn on Java before entering or you'll
miss the nifty opening.

World Sims
|
You'll find the downloads section in a small button under the masthead at the top of the page. Start at the
link to "The Sims" to see all categories. We found some
recolored objects. Animated snow. Christmas decorations. The first outdoor antenna we've seen, complete
with VHF, UHF, and satellite links.
Also has a "World Store" section with advertising links. Moved to a new site on 15 Dec 01. Most of the stuff
here looks very familiar, but there's no credit to the sources.
Caddy says, "The side is slow because of extensive extensive server-side PHP processing and pop-up ads,
but it's an interesting user interface. There's a chat board you can sign up for."

Wretched Sims
|
New site apparently opened in November 2001. There's a little bit in each category. The Wretched Bar (Buy Mode,
Kitchen) really caught our attention -- it's set up for use downtown in Hot Date and a refreshing change from the
standard wooden bars. You'll find matching counters in "Surfaces." Nice collection of Christmas-themed furniture,
walls and floors by "Mippyme." Houses by S&M Builders. Accepts donated material.
Caddy says, "Elegant site design. The Wretched Sims spectre might be disturbing for small children. Uses
Active Server Pages, so expect the site to slow down as the server gets overloaded."
Pasiphae says, "The bar and counters might count as Livin' Luna if you imagine they are made of metal."

Wytch's Brew
|
It says here, "Wytch's Brew is about quality, not quantity." Yup, that about sums it up! Offers some very detailed skins
by Foxgrrl with clothing you can believe someone would actually wear. Several innovative objects, some made from photographs
and most showing the correct angle for the game's point of view. Tastefully upholstered furniture. Lots of nifty statues
that are really lamps. Nice gallery of art you wouldn't be embarrassed to show in your own home.
Hosted at linux-ny.dyndns.org; response can be just a little slow.
Caddy says, "Wytch's Brew tends to open up new windows with every internal link. Be careful not to have so many
windows open that you overrun your memory and crash your web browser."

Xuan Sims
|
Objects for every room of the house. Offers rooms full of coordinated furniture. Clothing that real people would wear
(click on the "boutique" links for skins). Presented in both French and English. Hosted on ifrance.com; web pages take
a while to get across the pond. Pop-up advertising.
