The Sims Emporium -- Welcome

Welcome!

This site is a continuation of my project for The Sims 2. You can view and download mods and sims that I have made (My Sims/My Mods), view a catalog of mods I've downloaded and/or find useful or particularly noteworthy for one reason or another (Mod Gallery), or take a look at what's available for yourself at several mod/modding sites (Link Repository). Enjoy your stay!

My sincerest apologies for any downtime you may experience today. Free things cannot always be perfect, and as such I had to completely delete my site in an attempt to fix server issues that were not allowing me to update or many other things to function correctly. I am in the process of restoring everything to normal right now. Hopefully all of the subdomains on delusionsandgrandeur.net will be restored within a few hours or less. Thanks for your understanding!


Link Repository

  • Pruned list of download sites (removed broken/inactive sites)
  • Added creator blogs section and several sites
  • Redesigned content available key
  • Updated content available key for each site

If you haven't already seen my notice, PLEASE redownload the Jeanette Biedermann top and delete the old file if you downloaded it before 12/24/09. It was enabled for pregnancy, but there is no pregnancy morph for the mesh.

  • Fixed the issue with the image on the 404 page
  • Updated links on my new mods so that the downloads don't go through a third party server

My Mods

  • Added another of my mods: a set of lingerie inspired by Frederick's

My Mods

  • Added some of my mods: a conversion of my Jeanette Biedermann top and pants modifications from TS2, a pinstripe vest inspired by Hot Topic, and a default replacement conversion of Yumedust's Eye Love eye set

Sorry I haven't updated in around a month. Finals time at university gets completely ridiculous, and I simply didn't have the free time to look at mods and update the site. Today's updates are mainly from the last month, but I went back and added a few nice mods I missed. Mods were added from MTS, TSR, GOS, and Rose. Be on the lookout for another update soon!

  • Fixed a broken link or two and some typos

  • Various decor items from MTS added

I realize that it's been forever. And I'm sorry about that. This semester in college has been completely ridiculous. I haven't had time to play Sims, much less look for content for the game and maintain this site. Never be a biology major. It eats your life. But, anyway, I'm in the process of looking over what I've missed.

Mod Gallery

  • Female clothing added from MTS, GOS, TSR and LianaSims3
  • Male clothing added from MTS and TSR

  • Makeup added from TSR

I didn't realize another week had gone by. I'm sorry for not doing at least a few more updates. I'm trying to catch up where I left off though, so don't worry! Within the next day or two, everything I missed that I especially liked within the last week should be added.

Well, they've gone and done it. I must admit, I'm rather upset about the state of TSR. They did what I thought/hoped they surely wouldn't do, they made patterns eligible for subscriber-only. While I plan to leave links to all the content from TSR up for the moment, I will not be including any subscriber content from TSR in the future unless it is also made available free elsewhere. For those of your that like giving your money to TSR, you'll just have to go straight to their vile site to find the good content. It will not be included here.

Hello, all! Sorry for the delay again, but as you can see, I've been re-designing the site. I've simplified the layout and removed the iframes to maximize compatibility with various browsers and display resolutions. The display area should be equal to or greater than the space available in the previous version of the site. I hope you like it! If you come across something that doesn't work correctly, please contact me here with details of the error, and I'll get it worked out as soon as possible.
