The majority of new skins for The Sims were based on famous characters. Unfortunately for us many of the websites producing skins and objects now charge for their services. This practice has continued and skins for The Sims 2 can also be found.
Some of the best sites for Sims skins had a fantastic array of characters to choose from. It was possible to download huge amounts of additional content for absolutely free.
Amateur modders and skinners created new objects, textures and models for the game. One of the best things about the original Sims game was the community which grew around it.
