Late breaking news from Devil's Den at Candace's SimBazaar! Devil has created a variety of formal gowns for your Sims to dress up and hit the town in! Twelve "Birthstone Beauties," nine more gorgeous gowns, and four makeovers. Add in two more FREE gowns and another FREE makeover and it's a giant hit!

Check out the new look at Simmie Chic! Two new room sets, "Retro Bedroom" and "Retro Living Room" will take your Sims back in time! Add in seven plants and four paintings for a great update!

Sim City Gallery has 2 men's heads and a set of Pet Shop walls!

Grab the four sets of ladies' jammies inspired by Wet Seal at Simultaneous Design!

Visit Down Home Sims for the new brick and stone walls! Palace or suburban rancher, all Sim homeowners will love these!

Maria has another hit at Lemon Sims! I just love her way with accent colors, as shown in the "Elegant Beige Living Room."

Visit the Sim City Animal Shelter at Debby Sims!

As the auctioneers say, a mixed lot at Sim City Gallery! A man's outfit, a man's head, an antique pitcher, and a basket of violets!

Carrot Stuff opens a new section, "DIY Houses" (Decorate It Yourself Houses) with three houses ready for a Sim family to move in and turn into a home!

A few wonderful things at Simplify! A living room set with matching wall paper, brick walls, quarry tile floors, and a cabinet!

Enter the Twilight Zone via Historic Sim Houses! An apparently normal house... but is it? A small cafe outside Groom Lake, Nevada... with a space craft parked in the back lot!

Or you can furnish and populate the new "Elekrin Manor" at Carrot Stuff in the DIY Houses area!

Problems Logging In?

It's not us! Really! Before you write to us about login problems, please make sure it's really a problem. Almost all problems logging in to the SimsHost sites come from two common sources:

1. Bad password cached in your web browser. Click here to read our FAQ about that.

2. A user created more than one account, paid for one of them, and is trying to log in to an inactive account. To check that, try to log in by clicking on the link to Maintain Your Account. If your login fails, you'll bounce to a screen with the words "Forgot your password?" at the top. Enter your email address and click on "Get My Username From My Email Address". If the system finds more than one account with your email address, it will send you a note about it.

Is your account up to date?

Have you moved? Changed your email address? Make sure your SimsHost account information is up to date! That's important because this is how we make sure you're you if you have any problems with your account. To check and update your account information, click on the link to Maintain Your Account.

Download Managers

One word: Don't. Several subscribers have reported problems with third-party download managers. These are programs that save up your downloads and try to download them all at once later in the day. If you have one of these, please turn it off when visiting the SimsHost sites. We haven't found any of them that are worth a flip, and all of them will cause problems with your downloading.

The download managers that come with Internet Explorer and Netscape work great. Use 'em.
