Best Sites for Sims Skins

One of the best things about the original Sims game was the community which grew around it. Amateur modders and skinners created new objects, textures and models for the game. It was possible to download huge amounts of additional content for absolutely free. Some of the best sites for Sims skins had a fantastic array of characters to choose from. This practice has continued and skins for The Sims 2 can also be found. Unfortunately for us many of the websites producing skins and objects now charge for their services.

The majority of new skins for The Sims were based on famous characters. 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 Sims and The Sims 2 are both the kind of games that benefit from additional content. Having more variety and choice when choosing characters and building houses adds to the fun and expansion packs are very expensive. The websites that popped up to support the original game have mostly either disappeared or they have grown bigger. 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. Now we’ll take a look at some of the best places to find Sims skins or additional content for the game.

7 Deadly Sims was one of my favourite sites for Sims skins and objects for the original game. They have content organised into categories based on the seven deadly sins. They only have Sims content at the moment although I think they are planning to add skins and objects for The Sims 2. The website is a stylish design and the theme is a nice idea.

The Well Dressed Sim offers content for The Sims and The Sims 2. They have lots of skins and objects for the games and they are well made and presented. Much of their content is only available to what they call “platinum members” and a one month membership costs $6.95. You can at least browse their content before you decide if the membership is worth the fee.
