How do I use the Archive (Why Did you make this so fucking confusing?)
Okay, I'm gonna be real with you. I've been playing The Sims for a long time. I've collected a LOT of custom content. However, I'm not a computer scientist. I think I'm pretty good at figuring stuff out and I've got a pretty good grasp on archiving now.

However, make no mistake this is a pretty small dog and pony show. I've had a lot of help along the way, there have been a lot of people who have contributed time and working into this project. However, as far as understanding the tech, finding the content, and then trying to figure out how to scrape it? That's been mostly up to me. While Paulette has been a major help in the beginning when the organizing began, there's only so much we can realistically do.

There are likely hundreds of thousands of pieces of custom content still online. While this might be one of the largest archives of content that isn't just a fansite where creators upload their work (without that superlative we're much smaller that TSR and MTS, probably) we're realistically not capable of organizing in a way that is particularly user friendly. In fact, we're probably less user-friendly than Pescado's PMBD. A lot of these files do not have photos. There's no real information on what meshes might be missing or details one what you need.

Then, this isn't really a site for "shopping" for content. You're here because you NEEDED something you can't fine else where. You were looking for a mesh and you may have known a filename or at least creator.
