I was just cleaning out my bookmarks for the first time in uh... 4 months, and I happened to have this site listed.

http://simultaneousdesign.com/

I have no idea why I'd have a site with almost all pay content in my bookmarks unless it wasn't previously pay. I searched the booty thoroughly, so if this is listed and I managed to miss it, feel free to hit me with a folding chair.

And no, this isn't LOL WHO HAS DIS SHIT because I sure as hell do not want that stuff. I am, however, wondering who they are, if the site was free previously, etc - anything to attest to the fact that I wasn't having a moment of temporary insanity when I added this place haha, yeah right.

I think it was always pay, and crap pay stuff, IMO.

Maybe you just added it by accident. Stuff like that happens to me.

LOL I have every site listed in my bookmarks, and they're broken up by:

 - Links (tutorials, update sites, and WCIF sites)

 - Pay Sites

 - Free Sites

 - Current Subscriptions (there's like 6 or 7 sites in here usually)


Guess which one Simultaneous Design is in?  :P

I remember, way, way, and I mean WAY back, they were free, for a very short time, because my daughter, who had a free site, had them as an affiliate, and when they went pay, she didn't want to be associated with them. They're a shit site anyway, so who gives a flying fuck. These greedy ass bastards still piss me off. Jesus, it's only a clothing site.

That site has mine in their favorite links section, which is nice because for once somone linked without me begging...  But I have only gotten 7 links in from them this month so they can't be getting that much traffic.

edit**

Here is their site ranking from their stat company

63   Simultaneous Design
The Sims fan site                                     Mus_00  83.3 (90.8)

The 83.3 is av. number of hits per day.  The 63 is their rank amongst sites in the computer/interent category.  They're ranked 826 overall.  I would have liked to have seen more detailed reports, but you have to sign in to the account to see anything more.

Hm, have we discussed this site before? It seems oddly familiar to me, as do my opinions of the stuff there. Nice enough stuff, I mean, it's not Nivenwear, but, it's the kind of thing I'd expect to see at TSR, by a prolific 'up-and-comer', then I look at the accessories, think 'ah, those are quite good though', then take a second look, and realize that no, in fact, they're really rather shite. I'm sure this place has been mentioned before...

They've been around for awhile.  Hardly an up-and-coming site.

Nah, I didn't mean that they were, it was more, their stuff is the kind of thing you'd expect from someone, if you were to see it on TSR, who wasn't complete shit, but wasn't quite an FA yet...

I bet their stuff wouldn't look half bad if they didn't take their screens in Bodyshop.  I know it's easier, but come on... you want to make it look good right?

To me some of the stuff looked more painted on than anything else.. Not too good for a pay site..

Wow... I thought this site closed before the 1st expansion pack came out.  :shock:
I remember it being free back then... or maybe i'm thinking of another site... there's so many and they all look the same i'm confused.  :oops:

Her items are indeed crap.  I think some of it has to do with a graphics card that is not up to par, the other part is she just sucks.

I think I remember that site back in the Sims 1 days.

They had a "Friends" theme and I was like OMG cool, then I noticed they were pay and then I was like wtf not cool :? uh yeah...

And I hate that they're using real brand names in their clothes category :?

Well, you gotta admit this stuff is better than Niven's...

barely...  But only because she doesn't plaster her site name all over her color fills...

I don't know, I only looked in the almost gothic section(is this somekind of a new style? not gothic but almost? it's so hard to keep up with the fashion these days. tsk-tsk-tsk) and the clothes there were of a better quality than niven's. Though most of them were black and the background was black so I couldn't see much which convinced me they looked pretty good.

Some of her outfits are well done, they're just bad ideas.  I used to use the term GIPE (good idea, poor execution) to denote the opposite.  I guess this is PEGI  pronounced peggy.
