Wayback Machine is a GREAT tool. It just has a few issues. The number one issue is that it isn't great at crawling. Normal HTML sites are no problem but more complex sites like forums and especially blogs are hard for it to navigate. It tends to get only very small pieces of LiveJournal for example. The entire official Sims 3 forum from 2009-2017(?) is just gone because Wayback wasn't able to access it.
As I've talked about over the past few years, I'm trying to archive a lot of CC with Archive.org. This works well for most older sites but not so well with newer ones. Plus, I'm focusing on custom content more than webpages and stories.
Stories, that people put hours and hours into, legacies, forum posts, pictures, blog posts, all things that are just TOO numerous for me to even make a dent in on my own.
Buuuut, if I could get a bunch of simmers who were actively viewing blogs and downloading content and reading forum posts to archive every post they viewed that could do something!
Wayback Machine Auto-Archiver is a bot that archives all PUBLIC webpages that you visit to the wayback machine. Think of it as a bot that follows you around taking a shot of every blog you visit. Obviously, this isn't just for Sims content but it would certainly help the community who may go looking for the content that you archived after it's LONG gone from the internet.
The auto-archiver is a simple extension. If you're running Chrome or Edge you simply install it like any other extension and then you surf the web like always.
The more simmers who use it, the more content gets archived. Also, it's entirely anonymous. If you're a lurker and you've never made or posted anyway, think of this as a way to give back!
Download it here and please reblog!
(I will be reblogging this post several times)
Update 5: added archives section. I think it warrants a reblog (updates aren't showing up on reblogs).
(Alright it's an index, I just had to)
Made it for myself, I might as well share. If there's something I've missed please let me know.

I've finished setting up a way to revive the GUID database, albeit not an automatic one, it is low-key, but rather simple. Instructions are on the pinned post. [It's a Dreamwidth community, basically one webpage where people can dump their GUID info, straight from Excel or a list].
It is searchable with multi search add-ons for browser. Search for multiple entries in one go.
Avoid conflicts with originally registered GUIDs (Not foolproof; assuming GUIDs where assigned in a certain way).
Avoid conflicts with new random GUIDs (that are in the DB).
Creators are indexed - see if your favorite active creators are on there.
Everyone can join, but only members can post. Happy Simming! https://sims2-guid-database.dreamwidth.org/ Example:

I didn't know about the guid database at MTS, does anybody know if it's still being updated?
Because I'm working on a simple solution, but idk if its still an issue.

I made some eye bag/tired eye make up for one particular sim but I liked how they looked on everyone so I use it a lot. It comes in 10 colors (Used AlfredAskew's lip color actions, deleted the ones that were too neon pink)
Found in the blush category

Some cozy warm clothes for dudes. Using the 3t2 Fair Folk Sylvan mesh that Yuxi converted. I really like trying to see what I can 'add' or change to meshes without actually editing the mesh. So this was a fun project, I think I learned some things from it (Especially that fur @_@)
The colors ended up a little dark. And I only recolored the jacket because otherwise It'd take me an eternity to decide on color combos.
For AM, TM, and CM.
3t2 Fair Folk Sylvan by Yuxi, converted to CM by kalynn. Meshes included with thanks.
Categorized as Everyday, Formal, Outwear, and Athletic.
TM & CM take textures from the adult files.

Here, have som grungy recolours for the Wormrat cage:
Come take a look
Was looking for this since i'm downloading mods and cc to my ts2
i've had my eye on that ts4 high school years pc, the big picture ultrawide computer, for ages, but i've not seen anyone convert it just yet... so i decided to do it myself 💗
it functions as a monique hacked computer, like a lot of my other computer conversions, and is just 770 polys! you can grab it under the electronics category for $2525; there are 5 swatches total!
credits go to ea/maxis for the original ts4 meshes & textures! and to monique for the hacked computer 💟
if there are any issues that you find with this set, please don't be afraid to let me know! happy simming, and when you download this, do keep in mind,

S'il y a bien quelque chose que nous savons, c'est que Les Sims comportent beaucoup de mods intéressants qui modifient grandement l'expérience de jeu. Cependant, un manque existe dans la communauté française des Sims 2 : la traduction des mods et contenus personnalisés en français.
Je déposerai désormais sur ce post des mods et contenus personnalisés entièrement traduits en français, afin que plusieurs puissent en profiter.
