As a temporary measure until we find time to create, develop and publish these additional The Sims 3 websites we have decided to park them here on top of Sims 3 Website.com.

Basically what this means is you may find you are directed here from a host of different domain names, each of which are search-term targetted phrases and owned by us. We thought we should point this out incase it looked like somebody was suspiciously trying to pass our website off as their own.

For reference, here is a list of other domain names that will bring you to Sims 3 Website at the moment. Remember this is temporary, and each will eventually become a standalone website in it’s own right.

• Sims 3 Clothes – www.sims3clothes.com
• Sims 3 Codes – www.sims3codes.com
• Sims 3 Homes – www.sims3homes.com
• Sims 3 Houses – www.sims3houses.com
• Sims 3 Lots – www.sims3lots.com
• Sims Websites – www.simswebsites.com
• The Sims 3 Cheats – www.thesims3cheats.com
• The Sims 3 Cheats – www.thesims3cheats.net
• The Sims 3 Cheats – www.thesims3cheats.co.uk
• The Sims 3 Codes – www.thesims3codes.com
• The Sims 3 Exchange – www.thesims3exchange.com
• The Sims Websites – www.thesimswebsites.com

No More Double Account

Until now you could create one members account to post comments on our articles, and you could also create a seporate members account to join in the fun over at our The Sims 3 forums.

This setup has now been taken away, as many visitors were registering on the website for the ability to comment on our The Sims 3 news, screenshots etc, but were a little confused when they found they could still not post on the forums despite having registered on our website.

Open Comments System

To take away the confusion we have removed the need to become a member to comment on articles on our main website. This also encourages further interaction between you guys and our website, and interaction is what The Sims 3 is all about!

Account Registration Changes

The ‘Register’ link that you see in our sidebar used to create an account for you so you could comment on articles. As you no longer need to join for that, the link now takes you to our forums registration process so you can discuss everything The Sims 3 (and anything else if you wish) on our message boards with like-minded The Sims 3 fanatics!

So to sum up the changes there is no longer any confusion between two accounts for commenting, and posting at the forums. Simply create an account at the forums and you are a part of the Sims 3 Website community.

Visit our forums right now and create your free account to begin participating in The Sims 3 discussions, or read on for more information before heading over there.

As a leading The Sims 3 fan-site, we thought we should cover absolutely everything to do with The Sims 3 from the very beginning, and we felt that could not really be done without offering you – our loyal followers – a message board for all your Sims 3 desires.

The forums are powered by VBulletin which is by far the most powerful message board software available, offering you countless features that you just do not find on stand message boards and forums.

Arcade-Ready

To help you pass the time until The Sims 3 is released in June we have an Arcade setup on the forums ready with more than 60 games for you to choose from, and loads more to be added over the coming days.

You can play the arcade games for fun, or give it your best to try and top the leaderboards – as all of your personal high scores will be recorded and ranked against other members. Also, if you prefer a bit of direct competition then you are able to create tournaments with any of our games, or join tournaments created by other forum members!

Yet to make our forums enjoyable and user friendly for everyone, we need a fun and friendly bunch of moderators to keep things on the forums running smoothly, which is where you could come in as we are seeking a maximum of 3 moderators.

Anyone appointed a moderator will take the role voluntarily, as we are after all just a fan site. The moderators will be given various responsibilities on the Sims 3 Website.com message boards which will include supervising new threads and replies to make sure they do not break any forum rules, and to generally keep things clean and friendly for Sims fans of all ages.

Other responsibilities include reporting breach of rules, be it members causing friction via the messages they post or a nasty spam-bot breaking our filters and posting random unsuitable messages and links.

If you have a true love for The Sims 3 and a generally friendly and highly tolerant manner then you could be the person we are looking for! Experience of moderating a VBulletin powered forum in the past will be an added bonus. If you have not moderated a forum before it will not necessarily prevent us from appointing you as a moderator so do not let that put you off showing your interest.

Become Part of Sims 3 Website
Our forum moderators will become a vital part of the Sims 3 Website.com team, as they are relied upon to keep the forum community running nicely which allows our editorial team to concentrate on keeping the website’s content fresh and upto date.

You will be expected to complete a basic profile about yourself which will be published on our main website, and welcome interaction from our visitors. You will be provided with an @sims3website.com email account too.

Interested?
So what do you do if you are interested in becoming a Sims 3 Website forum moderator? Simply get in touch with us. Tell us a little about yourself such as your first name or a name you prefer to be known as by The Sims community, your location and age would help too – and of course anything else you would like to say which may help us decide if you are the person we need on our team!

Please direct all emails to Stuart at inbox@sims3website.com, we look forward to hearing from you!
