WCIF semi-up-to-date

I’ve got all the pages that require a WCIF linked to an appropriate list, but I haven’t yet done all of the links to the outside locations of files. I will eventually do this, but it’s boring. In the interim, that’s what search engines are for.

I am a researcher by nature, and it’s something I have been employed to do in the past. I would never consider asking where I might be able to find something before I had exhausted all avenues known to me – it’s a point of pride, and it’s just how I am. I’ve become very hyperaware of search engine (non)usage lately, since so many people who post WCIF questions on the various forums I frequent don’t seem to know that such things exist. Or, rather, they’re too damn slack to do the least bit of searching on their own. I am a HUGE snob about this, and I get puffed up with self-righteous disdain when I read stupid requests. I realize that not everyone shares my proclivities, but despite this awareness, I have no intention of trying to develop a more charitable attitude toward those who will not do their own searching. However, since I’m sure that you, lovely visitor, are not too lazy to embark upon your own quests, I offer you these links:

Sailorjune’s Category lists. Somewhat outdated, but still useful.
Sims 2 Wiki Content List Category lists. Also somewhat outdated, IMO, and leaves out a LOT (also IMO), but definitely a good starting place.
A Sim’s Life Category Lists. A confession: I’ve never seen this site before, but it was linked from the Wiki, and it looks useful.
Junk & Clutter Thread @ GoS Updated frequently, and more comprehensive than most. GoS itself is also a good source of stuff. I would advise you to SEARCH the forum, including the existing WCIF posts, before posting any sort of WCIF. Self-sufficiency in searching is valued highly at GoS. You have been warned.

ETA: I’m feeling sort of bad that most of the things in my WCIF lists are things you can’t just go download right away since they are, in large part, my unreleased recolors. As it says on the WCIF page, I don’t really want to be harangued about releasing things, but if anyone wants to let me know – politely, one time – that there’s something in particular they’re interested in, I’ll be able to keep that in mind for those rare occasions when my game is running well and I can get screenshots. There’s nothing that I’m ever going to show that I’m not going to be willing to share, it’s just a matter of the schedule.

everything new is old again

I’m reposting a bunch of my Garden of Shadows files here, as you can see below. Please let me know if any of the links don’t work or if there are any other problems.

As I mentioned in a previous download-free and disappointing “update,” I have taken down the contact and WCIF pages and forms with plans for something better. As far as the WCIF is concerned, I think I’ll probably just make a link for each download entry that will take the reader to a list of the stuff used in each screenshot. (Update 12/08: This is mostly DONE! Yay, me! So oddly productive these past couple of days!)

My goal when I started recoloring things was to end up with enough textures of my own that I wouldn’t necessarily need anyone else’s, and I have sort of achieved this, though I do still have and use plenty of things by other people. For my screenshots, however, I try to use as much of my own work as possible so that if anyone likes what they see and wants it for themselves, I don’t have to worry about anyone else’s sharing rules. This will actually make doing a WCIF answer page much easier for me than it might be for someone with more useful and real-world-oriented goals.
