Spring4Sims – The Best Finds, Downloads & Hints for Your Sims

I’ve been thinking lately what makes certain Sim-sites better than others. Well, yes, you can say: CUSTOM CONTENT but honestly, I’ve noticed that it’s not the most important thing about Sim-sites. I consider myself to be a pretty decent Simmer (although you’re right if you mention I haven’t played the game pretty long time) and there’s been some time I was absolutely addicted to downloading custom content for the game. I would rename the .rar files, add pictures inside them, categorize folders… oh god, it took so much time of my life!

As you see, I still like CC even though I don’t download it anymore. Sometimes, to be very honest, it’s very annoying. Imagine seeing a big piece of chocolate cake (my favorite) in front of you, but then you recall there’s a glass which makes it unable to reach… However, I think that this site has gained some popularity and it would be shame to close it, wouldn’t it? And so I’ve decided to continue and see how long it will last. I can’t say it will last forever, but I will try not to disappoint you.

So, during the last year I’ve pretty much stumbled upon hundreds of Sim-sites and blogs which include stories, custom content, videos, or just random thoughts about the game. Some of them I visit everyday, some are in my RSS reader and some are still unknown and remain a mystery.

The question is: why are some of them visited more than others? Why do people love some of them and never visit the others? There are many answers that I can give you, but I’d like give them to you little by little. Take this as a serial that will give you the know-how.

Another question from you: why should you, Hannah, tell us what to do? Answer: I’ve been blogging about pretty much everything in the last two years. My first roundup was Apple stuff, iPods mostly, which lasted for a year. Then I thought I should try something on my own and I came up with this site while continued to write about various technology news on other site. More than six months ago, I’ve opened another blog that’s focused on fashion and have some further plans in the near future.

All the sites have given me a lot of information on what it means to run a site. A popular site. It’s not easy from various aspects, but can be if you know how to manage it. So, I thought I could share a bit of my knowledge with everyone who runs a Sim-site or plans to. I’m not sure how many articles will be published, but I think there will be about three of them – one per week. Hope you’ll enjoy them.

P.S.: If you have any particular questions, write them in the comments.
