Welcome to The Sims Forums!


This is a complete tutorial/ guide with pictures that will explain how to use the forum and every aspect of it.

Before we begin, I'd like to redirect you to the Member thread. You'll find everything you need to know about becoming a member in the first post.
The forum rules are located Here.
The basics

You will be greeted with the homepage when you enter, from where you can navigate to any place desired
The categories are listed on when you are on the homepage, scroll down and enter a category where you like to read, post or discuss.

Discussions is right next to Categories. This is where you'll find all of the important topics that have been stickied as well topics that are currently being discussed across the forum.

The Activity page is where you can see recent posts users have made to their profiles. You can like them, lol or comment. You can even make your own post from there. The leader boards on the right are for the users earning the most points. The top board is a weekly board and resets every Sunday while the bottom one is all time and the scores keep going up.

Best Of... is where you'll find comments that have gotten a lot of likes, lols or on the rare occasion a promote from a guru.

    Oh, good. I'm glad you picked this up. I started one early on and then the forums changed. I started again, and then they changed again.

    I have a bunch of numbered images, some with descriptions and instructions if that's useful.

    @SimGuruBChick, this is why we need spoiler tags.

    Sometimes guides made by users are the best, because we're users. We know what we'd need :) Bon's are awesome.

    I forgot there were best of and recent activity sections. I must not spam so much, scary being on a couple lists. How the plum did I earn so many points? I still got lost in forums Bon, so thank you for helping me get less lost. Odd there are only 16 countries represented for this site. Anyway nice job with the guide Bon.

    The mod section of the forums is nice too. I like going to these two forum areas when having trouble with mods: http://forums.thesims.com/en_US/categories/technical-discussions and when looking for mods: http://forums.thesims.com/en_US/categories/mods Nice resource for finding mod and CC tools on this site: http://forums.thesims.com/en_US/categories/tutorials-and-tools-

    Everyone is a Simmer.

    Good idea! Generally the noobies are polite, just wish they'd stop necroing threads.

    Is this thread still under construction, completed, or obsolete? It's got a rather confusing title for a stickied announcement. If it's a valid guide, then the title wants changing so that new users don't simply ignore it believing it to be WIP. If it really didn't ever get finished then it wants unstickied.

    Hi there, I apologise for the inconvenience. Unfortunately I have been having problems with the pictures showing up the last few times I wanted to finish it, I can see some pictures are not showing up, once again. I definitely try again later today, maybe by adding the forum pictures to another photo hosting site.

    Ah fair enough, it didn't just die from neglect then :D

    @ZSims601
    Yay! Glad it's understandable and I could teach you something new ^^

    @simsluvr90
    I was thinking about that as it's basically the same as this one, it will only need new pictures..
