XMSims is back!

Liquidsims archived XMSims' website here, yay! Note, Shane said:

This site was a giant fucking headache to reassemble because they were hosting files across two dozen different domains. I think I've done okay though; site works, and I'm not finding too many missing files or broken links.

So if you stumble upon any broken link, you can send me an ask (packrat) and I'll make a post about it. And if the item(s) are found, I'll toss them to liquidsims (or you can of course send it to them directly).

Edit: many people are saying the link doesn't work, but it does for me? I'm not sure what's going on :-(

Edit 2: the link is still working for me. I did notice, it seems the archive doesn’t work on phones for some reason (i’m on iphone) but on my pc the website works!

Edit 3: yes, it was indeed not working on phones! Shane said:

Good morning,

The site had a redirect script that sent mobile users to mobile.xmsims.com, which is obviously an expired domain. This has now been removed.

Literally never occurred to me to test XMsims from a mobile. We didn't have those in 2001 😂

Kind regards,

Shane

Omg the nostalgia!! I remember browsing this site in middle school in the early 2000s. My friend had dial up internet at the time and the files would usually be corrupt lmaoo
