Sims3Fanatics Custom Content Downloads Is Live!

28 Feb

It’s been a while since I’ve had any Sims 3 Custom Content finds and I’ve been working hard on a totally new section which hopefully looks better, feels better and is easier to navigate and allows you to find the best custom content categorized and see the top downloaded finds. This is still in ‘Beta‘ I guess, it still has a bit of work that needs to be done but I’ve added four great pieces so far and will continue adding only the best as often as I can.

I may post some of the very very best here but the rest will be left on the main downloads page for you to find yourself.

Check out the new Sims 3 Custom Content Downloads and enjoy yourself!

Sims 3 Fanatics Suggestions Post

4 Feb

Hey guys, seeing as it is a new year (a while ago) and the site had undergone a huge redo last year, I was wondering if there were any things bugging people or any improvements people have been longing for on Sims 3 Fanatics. It’s hard to please everybody, but I really want to make this a very informative and useful site.

  • Is there anything you want to hear more about?
  • Do you want to see more featured machinima?
  • Do you want to hear more about custom content?
  • Do you want me to work harder on the game information pages?
  • Does the layout look strange on you browser?

Those are just a few things that would be great to hear from you about. Please, please share with me any ideas you have or any constructive criticism comments you have, I would be very grateful to hear from you about it. If you have absolutely anything to say, please comment on this post, the form to do so is just below. This will be the post that you can submit all you suggestions in and I will be sure to respond. You can even comment anonymously.

Thank you all for visiting and for your time!

Machinimas, stories, tutorials, lots, custom content, worlds… you name it, I find it and post it here for you all to enjoy.

Custom Content Daily Finds Needs Your Help!

15 Dec

Hey everybody! As you all know – I’ve spent a huge time putting together the separate custom content side of the site and you may have realised that it’s isn’t getting updated as much as I thought I could handle and told you I would do.

You see – I’ve been getting tons of work to do lately and it’s just been impossible to keep track of everything and still do well at school. All I’m asking for is a tiny bit of help, it’s really hard to do all of this, the constant blogging, my work and obviously my social life and sport, I may need to put it on hold altogether but only if I feel it’s not really contributing or helping you all.

If you think you can help, let me know by commenting or by posting on the forums.

I’ll let you know if anything changes, thanks everyone who keeps coming back and chatting!

S3F Custom Content Finds is Almost Done!

28 Nov

Hey guys, it’s been a while now since the site has been back up and running and I’ve been spending a long time perfecting the theme, features and layout and optimizing the site for a faster loading time. I think it’s time to present you all with what I’ve done with the custom content section of the site. It’s almost done but I don’t want to launch it at you without asking you what you think of it.

Please help out, just check out what I’ve done and give feedback. There’s some finds there so you can test everything and see if it  works. Don’t hesitate to give constuctive critisism!

Check out the new Custom Content Finds area, I’ll leave it and do the finishing touches within the next few days and afterwards, it will be shuffling out tons of new custom content finds!

Thanks for your patience!
