The Sims Resource Reviews

I forgot to cancel my subscription because I no longer played the sims and the staff helped me instantly with no issues. Fantastic help :)

I sign up for and cancel my VIP subscription frequently depending on my Sims gaming habits. The TSR library is huge and offers options for everyone, I enjoy the themed events they run and it's nice to have a site that I can trust to come back to when my Sims itch needs to be scratched.

Made an account and purchased a subscription, however on trying to login (using the very same email account they send all their emails to), I am told that details are incorrect. When I go to reset password, I am told that the email address (WHICH THEY SEND ALL THEIR MARKETING EMAILS TO) is not registered on the site.

In addition to this, even with a paid membership the site is slow, glitchy and difficult to navigate. The search filters don't work properly and often the basket doesn't function. Until these issues are fixed and my account is restored, I can only advice anyone reading to stay far away from the site.

1) The experience: This is possibly the most painful website to visit on the entire internet. There are 700 ads on every page, some with popups that auto-play audio, LOUDLY. When browsing there is often more ads than content displayed. If you ever manage to get far enough to FIND something you want to download, the item's page is also so full of ads it can take a while to find where the actual download button is, then you navigate your way through multiple screens of MORE adds, then at the end, WAIT to download for several minutes unless you sign up for their premium subscription.

2) The content: It seems like it is a complete FFA and there is zero quality control. You have no way of knowing if what you are downloading is even going to work. Most of it is enabled for random, incorrect age-groups, and/or inappropriate outfits, leading to messed up townies, terrible shower-wear, or broken toddlers whose entire essence has been consumed in the texture of a pair of knee-high boots. There is no oversight, and you find abandoned content that's been save-corruptingly broken for 10 expansions.

If I could rate 0 stars, I would.

I feel like I'm paying this TSR bill every 2 minutes and barely downloading anything, I paid monthly because I play Sims on weekends but I don't feel it's worth it and some of the quality their creators submit is lacking. I'd rather pay per creator on Patreon, at least I know the graphics are quality.

These mfs want your money at EVERY DAMN TURN but the stuff they provide BAAARELY works. the super duper cool TSR Mod Manager is not complete YEARS later it's still broken. you still cannot use it without troubleshooting for hours. the site doesn't remember the stuff you put in your "basket" which is their oh-so-great-vip advertisement. but everything money related works tho great.

What happens if you let greedy people, that don't know how to properly design and maintain a website design their own? You get thesimsresource - where basic things (that are for free on every other good website) like 2 simultaneous downloads, or basic speed or usability require you to pay. Even if you have an account. Even if your adblock is off and you earn them tons of ad revenue. Even if they aren't even the copyright holder of the stuff they host.

Everyones complaining about the ad block making you wait 180 seconds.. guys if you PAUSE YOUR ADBLOCK you only have to wait 15 seconds or whatever. Ofcourse there's ads, how else will the website survive? Who wants to create content for free? NOBODY! Youtube has ads and more than one coming one after another yet these people probably don't complain about that do they? I've never had a problem with the sims resource, it's a clean website and all their cc goes through multiple checks and have to meet certain standards before getting accepted. Other cc websites make my antivirus pop up quite a lot but the sims resource is always fine.

Recently there was a scandal in the Sims CC community about a group of patreon creators who were involved in a doxxing ring that was sharing patreon information with each other. Two of those creators, Busra-TR, and Antosims are very well known creators at TSR. When TSR got contacted about them, they replied that they wouldn't get involved because this didn't happen on their site. That screenshot was shared all throughout tumblr. How are we to trust TSR with our safety if they are content letting known doxxers continue to submit CC to their site? Are they going to share our TSR info? Are they going to somehow gain access to our personal information or credit card info? Who knows. It's scummy.

Great site, but that is not why I'm writing this. I'm writing this due to the bogus reviews being listed here, especially the one claiming that the custom content caused someone's computer to have major issues, which is a complete lie.

Custom content may affect your game but not your computer. Quit with the lies little ones. Actually play the game and download custom content before you make bogus reviews without actual evidence to back it up.

There is seriously something wrong with society, I guess some people were born with a thick skull.

This is the only site that checks all its content and actually pays their artists. I don't get why people are complaining so hard abut ads - it costs $4 not to have ads, and that money helps pay the artists.

Bunch of tightwads on this site it seems.

A good source for those who like alpha cc in their games, though you can find some good maxis match cc too. The downsides are that the objects are a little hit or miss, some items pop up in your game, some can have that weird purple and black pattern on your sim, and some dont pop up in your game (though that's not the developers fault, it could be mine or the creators). Also, There's a lot of ads on the screen, and it won't download if you go to a different tab, which is frustrating.

Hi posting this so it doesn't happen to anyone else. I clicked on the 6 dollar option, applied a coupon, it gave me green text saying 2 dollars was taken from the amount (making it 4), I went to pay- and there was NEVER a confirmation of exactly how much would be paid in the menus. It never a appeared a single time and was very unclear if I would be taken to a confirmation menu or not- and then charged me 36 dollars. I absolutely did not select this option.

I don't expect TSR to actually refund me so now I'm going to have to get paypal involved if possible. Shame on me for thinking such an ad ridden, shady practicing site with malicious treatment of free users would be honest. DO NOT PURCHASE VIP FROM TSR!!

Although it has some great custom content for the sims, the wait times and the amount of ads that they have it is damn annoying for the people that don't have the vip version, also you can´t download two files at the same time which doesn´t make sense. The price for vip is cheap but still I believe that are ripping you off.

The amount of intrusive ads is ridiculous and makes it difficult to even navigate the site. But if you use an ad blocker they make you wait 2 minutes only for a message that your download was "blocked". Not to mention they have been caught allowing viruses in to download files. They are just an all-around sketchy site with mediocre cc and no one should waste their time on it, especially when there are so many better sites.

horrific site with about 500,000 ads. completely blocked downloads if you have an ad blocker and is dangerous and full of viruses without an ad blocker. go on tumblr or a different website because it's completely unusable and the amount of ads causes the website to be insanely slow and buggy.

I'm new to using this webiste but so far ive had no problems with it at all. yes ok the ads to tend to drive me crazy but at the end of the day every website you go to there will always be ads. I dont see why people are complaining for, like the only ads i get is the stuff the website is promoting or one small ad in the bottom corner for different things.

Date of experience: May 05, 2022

I love this website, It gives me my sim content for free and a wide selection. I agree that the fact it won’t let you download anything with adblocker is annoying though as I cannot turn mine off through my virus protection. But other than this it’s a great website and recommend a lot. No viruses here :)

Lately all I have found are Issues when downloading From This website, it use to be Decent. Lately When you get CC it Will UNINSTALL Your sims 3 expansion packs. Sketchy A.F. So I end up deleting majority of all CC just to fix that problem. It's Really annoying. They don't monitor the ads which have Massive amounts of Virus attached to them and The entire Page is COVERED with ads. i get you are trying to make money where you lack, But selling every inch of your WEBSITE for ADS is excessive.
