SimsHost Chronicle #61

This week's site spotlight

This week's founder spotlite site is LEMON SIMS !! Maria says, "This is a one girl's site, I'm the only staff" but she's packed full of interior design talent and flair Brazilian style!! LEMON SIMS boasts a mainstream of warm neutral color schemes with lots of wood textures she creates herself for an "easy on the eyes" and the pocketbooks of your Sims themes. We asked Maria to sum up Lemon Sims and here's what she told the SimsHost Newsteam:

Maria (artist, creator, webmistress of Lemon Sims): "I think one characteristic of Lemon Sims is that I try to make real home objects, I mean, things I'd like to have in my own house if I could, and it doesn't really matter if the design is traditional or contemporary. The same with walls. I was at geocities for 6 months before moving to Simshost, and since I've moved I've been making sets, that I couldn't make at geocities because of the space. Now I have more than 80 sets. I get my ideas from decor magazines, design shops, wallpaper amd textile catalogs. I love making paintings (i'm a painter myself - some of the paintings are real), sideboards, bookcases...... everything! I love to see a complete set, with everything matching!"

Don't forget to stop in at Ye Olde Town Inn, a gathering place created by the webmasters and artists of the SimsHosted sites exclusively for SimsHost subscribers. At the Inn you can meet the webmasters and artists, give them ideas in what you would like to see, and make new friends. Check out some of the fun we're having in the Jester's Corner! Join in the fun and start your own games!

The Answer to High-Priced Subscription Sites

Lots of Sims Lots brings the total number of sites on SimsHost to 57 (or more, depending on how you account for the megasites like Killersims and Candace's Sim Bazaar). That's lots of Sims sites and more sites are a-building, but you can still subscribe to SimsHost for only $2.00 a month at the annual rate.

With your one subscription, you support the hosting costs for all these sites and enjoy new additions that continue to surpass all the stand-alone subscription sites combined with your one low-cost subscription to SimsHost! That's why we created SimsHost in June 2002 when we ran out resources to host sites for free on the Moon Sims server, and it's working great!

A full year of serving the best Sims sites at the lowest possible subscription cost

One year ago we opened with two dozen founding sites. On that day, SimsHost instantaneously became by far the largest Sims site in the world offering the best value in subscription sites.

Today we host more than fifty fantastic sites for The Sims, the sites are bigger, and the service just keeps getting better! Taken collectively, the SimsHosted sites are still the largest site the The Sims in the world, yet we continue to be able to bring all these sites to you at a subscription cost that's half what you have to pay for the least expensive stand-alone sites.

Our heartfelt thanks to all our subscribers, webmasters, and artists for making it such a wonderful year! We will continue to endeavor to make the next year even better for you!
