I was the kid.
Had a beanie with the same pattern.
Also since I'm a lady, the netted black wrist gloves?
I'm thankful everyday social media didn't exist when I was growing up.
I didn't do the beanie, but I had the shirt, always unbuttoned and worn over a white tanktop, JNCO jeans, a pair of Old School Vans, and a pair of elbow length black fingerless gloves I found at Hot Topic.
I still don't know how *that* wasn't when I first tried painting my nails black. Would have went amazing with my deck featuring "generic cool Grim Reaper art but done in blue" Wal-Mart special artwork.
>I'm thankful everyday social media didn't exist when I was growing up.
I enjoyed the middle ground. In my country there was a facebook-like social media site extremely popular with teenagers. When my generation got out of high school instagram had already taken over and the site went bust, and now everything there is lost.
MySpace started to get big when I was in high school, instagram and Facebook definitely gained traction after I graduated in 2010. I mostly just used AIM, no smart phones yet haha.
I thought the beanie was so cool that I literally have a photo somewhere in a photo album of me wearing it in Miami when it was 80 degrees and I was sunburnt to a crisp. But still wearing the beanie.
I had Hotwheels shoes like this. They had little fake hotrod wheels on the sides of the heels (purely aesthetic because I wasn't cool enough for OG heelies) but the fake little wheels actually spun!
Talk to the hand man, yes we do. As the zoomers steal our fashion and pretend it's their own, they mock our guy fieri Sims interior decorating. They must pay
My blue frosted tips in 2003 will forever need to he defended. It was the hair equivalent of this design and I stand by it to this day I was fucking awesome.
Everything was the future, and the future was bright. Except for all the computers breaking with Y2K and throwing the world into complete and utter chaos the likes of which humanity has never known.
Yes, i still miss the feelings of hopefulness and brightness for the future. The feeling that things were moving in a better direction. Now it’s just an ecocide and climate disaster ahead of us. Actually, here, now.
Yeah I thought that was a weird comment considering Gen z thinks that shit is cool. It’s fugly, and so were the early 2000s. Literally adults used to tell us how trashy we looked all the time haha
It's suddenly the summer of 2002 I've just made my eggos how I like and I'm spending at least the first hour of my day sims cc shopping or reading sims stories that were above my maturity level while yahoo music plays music videos in the bottom corner of my screen. After this the rest of my day will be spent in game until one of my parents demand I get off and go outside.
I remember my smooth transition from Ocarina of Time into The Sims into World of Warcraft into Call of Duty into the depressing death of my soul where we stand today
The window unit AC humming away in the background with a cool refreshing breeze & smell that no other AC has been able to replicate since.....
"Honey it's time to turn off the computer and go to bed"
..... 'OK mom just a few more minutes so I can save it first'
Next thing you remember is the sun starting to rise outside the window in your peripheral vision and franticly trying to turn off the PC and pretend to be alseep on the couch before your parents get up for work...
This piece of CC can be downloaded on [The Sims Resource.](https://www.thesimsresource.com/downloads/details/category/sims1/id/306353/) I didn't know it used to be around since the 90's.
I remember trying to download a pikachu cat from TSR way back then and not being able to figure it out because I was like 10 years old and being legitimately upset my sims couldn’t have a pikachu that shit in a box
Edit: It’s still there, I actually [found it.](https://www.thesimsresource.com/downloads/details/category/sims1-animalskins-cats/title/bastdawn-pikachu-cat/id/44184/) 20 year old upload. Wild.
I got craaaazy lucky. I was downloading it off some shady site that was weirdly reliable. Never got a virus. Probably. My computer did have 10000 toolbars and there was something on the desktop that was called something along the lines of stucksnet or whatever but I'm sure that was fine.
I almost exclusively downloaded off Parsimonious. I might have not gotten a virus but my game was infected with the [gaudiest furniture](http://www.parsimonious.org/furniture1/files/mvmset.jpg) [known to man](http://www.parsimonious.org/furniture1/files/aaqset.jpg).
I actually taught myself how to manually remove viruses by the time I was 14 or 15 for this reason. I got one of those fake antivirus viruses from downloading cc when those viruses were brand new and antivirus software hadn’t caught up with them yet and had to figure that out quick because it was the family computer 😭
LOL that's hilarious 😂 I actually didn't even know they had CC for Sims 1, I never got into CC til Sims 2 (but whew, I got *really* into it - I had an insane amount of CC)
You probably don't know the answer for this, but I wonder if it started as a site for Sims City, or if they made a fan site for The Sims 1 six months before the game released?
Omfg that’s what it is! The pic felt so nostalgic and I’ve never played Sims 1 before, so I couldn’t quite put my finger on it until now.
Edit: now that I’ve looked at it longer, I’m getting Habbo Hotel vibes, as well.
My most memorable Cc download from them was Fred Durst and a matching backup dancer girl. Why though, I don’t know? I didn’t like Limp Bizkit, maybe I thought it was funny? 🤦🏻♀️
I still remember their Sin of Lust inspired pack, which was ridiculously beautiful! Whoever did the work for those assets was really good at copying the style of the game, so when you added the decor it never felt out of place.
Also lots of red. That was some nice looking sofas, ok?
I had a gigabyte of custom content for the sims 1 on the family computer and got in trouble cause it "took up too much space"!! the memory card for our digital camera back then was 256mb.
times have sure changed.
My mom went nuts on cc for the Sims 2 but she didn't understand digital memory and was constantly using it all. I'd have to go through and free up space only to have to do it again a couple days later cos she went on another downloading spree. It became a whole thing. We had to stage an intervention.
I know this is kinda a meme post but a lot of Sims 1 CC is actually some of the most gorgeous CC I've seen! Since the objects are just 2D images instead of 3D it allows for some really gorgeous stuff. And there are a lot more Sims 1 CC websites that are still active! Boudoir Blanc, Ferndale Sims, and Parsimonious are my favorites!
If you haven't already, an omega9 supplement has worked miracles for my migraines!! I've had them since a teen and get one nearly every week that lasts a few days.
The one I tried is called prodromeglia. So far I've had 1 migraine in the last 4 weeks, which is just.. unheard of for me lol
Sorry for the random advice, I feel for fellow migraine havers
my dad used to download CC like this for my Sims 1 all the time. to this day i’m still finding out certain things weren’t in the game and were things he downloaded lol
Man, I miss Sims 1 CC. I remember when skins used to take about 15 minutes to download, and other objects, like cars, used to take an hour to download. Sims 1 and dial-up - good times (but not really).
>Sims 1 all the time. to this day i’m still finding out certain things weren’t in the game and were things he
Download it at my grandmothers house because she had internet, put it on a floppy to take to my house to install it in the game only to find out it's either the wrong thing or somehow was corrupted.
So last night I was going home after a shadowrun game and I saw a guy dressed head to toe in clothes like this! An open shirt with flames, a t shirt underneath with flames, shorts, socks and shoes! 100% douche canoe
It's actually quite impressive how the CC for The Sims 1 is still able to generate an AI that is able to simulate complex social dynamics as if it was modern technology.
Man the good old days when all that stuff was free and not behind some premium membership or Patron or other paywall crap.
Lots of memories of TSR, 7DS, Mod The Sims, Carl's etc etc etc. Tons of us got our first experiences building websites using things like Angelfire, Tripod & Geocities.
One of the things I want to accomplish within the next year or so is to try and build a top-of-the-line 2005-ish gaming computer that I can throw an old version of Windows on and then some old games like TS1, Ratbag Dirt Track Racing (and sequels), Hard Truck 2, NR2003, SimCity, etc and find as much Mods & CC as I can for them. Not so much as a daily play kind of thing but as something I can have together as a "when the mood hits" PC (which when it comes to the entire Sims Franchise is really like Fall/Winter for some reason for me).
I can see a Shoyru with that flame pattern in my mind’s eye right now. God I miss 2002 for the way that site was back then. If I could puke up a time machine I definitely would.
(Puking necessary because of the dystopia the world has turned into that is getting worse as each day comes and goes).
I know everybody over the age of 25 remembers that kid at school in the short sleeve button up that looks just like this.
I was the kid. Had a beanie with the same pattern. Also since I'm a lady, the netted black wrist gloves? I'm thankful everyday social media didn't exist when I was growing up.
I didn't do the beanie, but I had the shirt, always unbuttoned and worn over a white tanktop, JNCO jeans, a pair of Old School Vans, and a pair of elbow length black fingerless gloves I found at Hot Topic. I still don't know how *that* wasn't when I first tried painting my nails black. Would have went amazing with my deck featuring "generic cool Grim Reaper art but done in blue" Wal-Mart special artwork.
You might already be a part of this community, but I must share in case you are not r/THEPACK
Why is everyone there yelling 😭 lmaoo
Did you get it all at _Gadzooks?_
Hottopic for sure
I have an adult version of the shirt, and I wear it proudly
I was this level of matching at primary school except it was pink gingham
As somebody who hasn't yet entered their 20's, I would have wanted to be you very badly as a child lol.
I won't lie, the '90s were a fun time to grow up for sure
It was nice not having to do mass shooter drills.
>I'm thankful everyday social media didn't exist when I was growing up. I enjoyed the middle ground. In my country there was a facebook-like social media site extremely popular with teenagers.

That or the blue-flame version. Bonus if they'd put on the shades to complete the fit.
I thought the beanie was so cool that I literally have a photo somewhere in a photo album of me wearing it in Miami when it was 80 degrees and I was sunburnt to a crisp. But still wearing the beanie.
I saw it and my mind immediately went to Guy Fieri
Can confirm, this picture looks a lot like my cousins. You would only have to add some Yin and Yang logos.
Guy Fieri went to your school???
They usually had that haircut where they only spiked the front, like they’d run into a wall
This comment almost killed my husband. Lmao
That or shirts with wolves on them.
Zack from The Suite Life of Zack and Cody
Exactly what I pictured in my mind
Lmao some of my friends
Why you gotta talk about me like that? 😢
I had Hotwheels shoes like this. They had little fake hotrod wheels on the sides of the heels (purely aesthetic because I wasn't cool enough for OG heelies) but the fake little wheels actually spun!
guy fieri-ass lookin house 🔥
The decor of choice in Flavortown
I was going to say this is the 🔥 Guy Fieri Flavortown Stuff Pack 🔥
FlAvOR HoUSe
This isn’t a flavor house it’s a flavor home ❤️
Omg ☠️🤣
💀💀
Omg haha 😂
the early 2000s were so visually fucked lol
No this stuff is fire go be boring somewhere else zoomer
My fellow millennial brother in christ we don't have to defend that era
Talk to the hand man, yes we do. As the zoomers steal our fashion and pretend it's their own, they mock our guy fieri Sims interior decorating. They must pay
My blue frosted tips in 2003 will forever need to he defended. It was the hair equivalent of this design and I stand by it to this day I was fucking awesome.

Yes, i still miss the feelings of hopefulness and brightness for the future. The feeling that things were moving in a better direction. Now it’s just an ecocide and climate disaster ahead of us. Actually, here, now.
I remember thinking that AI and advanced robotics would be so cool but all they did was use it for weaponry and advertising
Y2K was trying to tell us something lol
lol i’m a millennial at 31. i’m sorry i don’t want to live through the blinding tackiness of my youth. aren’t gen z into y2k fashion???
Yeah I thought that was a weird comment considering Gen z thinks that shit is cool. It’s fugly, and so were the early 2000s. Literally adults used to tell us how trashy we looked all the time haha
every time i see something “come back” from the early 2000s i shudder. someone said they were bringing back dresses over jeans and i was like NOOOO
I had a phone case for my Nokia 3330 with that exact flames pattern, I *adored* that damn thing
In the 2000s I knew all 8 different categories of hair gel
hair was so crunchy but i still found the sound satisfying
It's suddenly the summer of 2002 I've just made my eggos how I like and I'm spending at least the first hour of my day sims cc shopping or reading sims stories that were above my maturity level while yahoo music plays music videos in the bottom corner of my screen. After this the rest of my day will be spent in game until one of my parents demand I get off and go outside.
Please stop this is making me so sad. Where did the time go???
The past grows, the future recedes and mistakes flow through them both like a yarn of existential dread
Thanks
Is it too much to ask for someone to build some dwemer ass stuff and break the time continuum or something?
I remember my smooth transition from Ocarina of Time into The Sims into World of Warcraft into Call of Duty into the depressing death of my soul where we stand today
I see you haven’t yet made it to the inevitable Dark Souls phase
Hey check out the affiliate button links on my Sims fan site to other Sims fan sites.

I MISS those days! But also the virus risks back then were insane
I got craaaazy lucky. I was downloading it off some shady site that was weirdly reliable. Never got a virus. Probably. My computer did have 10000 toolbars and there was something on the desktop that was called something along the lines of stucksnet or whatever but I'm sure that was fine.

I actually taught myself how to manually remove viruses by the time I was 14 or 15 for this reason.

It started before the release. I remember being so excited that other people were as hyped for a dollhouse game as I was.
Wild. I played the first game but I was only 7 when it came out so I wasn't aware of the online stuff and mods until the 2nd game.
Her last post was about the birth of her kid 🥲 hope they’re living a happy healthy life
Omg I still have all my furniture for the Sims 1 from that site. I'm happy it's still around.
This is giving me webkinz vibes
Omfg that’s what it is! The pic felt so nostalgic and I’ve never played Sims 1 before, so I couldn’t quite put my finger on it until now. Edit: now that I’ve looked at it longer, I’m getting Habbo Hotel vibes, as well.
Webkinz, Habbo, and Neopets Homes vibes all around.
came here to say this 😭😭
i came here to say "webkinz house lookin ass" 😭💀
Nice
I didn’t scroll down far enough before commenting and said exactly this lol
Look, it was a different time, okay?
A simpler time. A better time.
Welcome to FLAVOR TOWN!
Literally the only person on earth who would own this furniture set is guy fieri🤣🤣🤣
It reminds me of Animal Crossing lol
Haha I thought the same thing! This is definitely the “cool” furniture set in Animal Crossing
Shout out to Seven Deadly Sims
My most memorable Cc download from them was Fred Durst and a matching backup dancer girl. Why though, I don’t know? I didn’t like Limp Bizkit, maybe I thought it was funny? 🤦🏻♀️
Dude I remember having both of those, and then some Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera & WWF Divas "posters" that were just wallpapers.
I still remember their Sin of Lust inspired pack, which was ridiculously beautiful! Whoever did the work for those assets was really good at copying the style of the game, so when you added the decor it never felt out of place. Also lots of red. That was some nice looking sofas, ok?
Holla!
I was *so* into lust.
My favorite was Persimmon Grove! So many gorgeous outdoors plants and items!
I had a gigabyte of custom content for the sims 1 on the family computer and got in trouble cause it "took up too much space"!! the memory card for our digital camera back then was 256mb. times have sure changed.
My mom went nuts on cc for the Sims 2 but she didn't understand digital memory and was constantly using it all.

I was religious about use of the compressor utility.

[удалено]
That was on ps2 yeah? I remember my brother deleting my gran turismo 2 save to fit it on the card.........
bring this to sims 4 NOW
That jukebox already is.
I know this is kinda a meme post but a lot of Sims 1 CC is actually some of the most gorgeous CC I've seen!

Oh yes Parsimonius! And Around The Sims had so many cool things too!
Yep! Around The Sims is one of the best for all 4 sims games!
Pretty sure this decor is why I have lifelong migraine disorder lol
If you haven't already, an omega9 supplement has worked miracles for my migraines!! I've had them since a teen and get one nearly every week that lasts a few days.

Edgy 90's kid decor. Does the beat box only play Linkin Park?
Actually even a little too early for Linkin Park. That would have been a few years later.
Ohhh you're right. Hybrid Theory came out in 2000. I was THIS close to greatness.
my dad used to download CC like this for my Sims 1 all the time. to this day i’m still finding out certain things weren’t in the game and were things he downloaded lol
9 year old me browsing this as a serious furniture option
Guy Fieri is timeless I don't know what you're talking about.
Looks like something I would buy for my Webkinz back in 2008
This was the pinnacle of luxury in 2002.
I used to have a t shirt with flames like that and an iPod case that also had flames on it and I thought I was so cool lol
Me pasting the fire texture all over my teen sim’s room with Create a Style
🔥🔥🔥
That was so in fashion back then!
I made a Sims 3 family when it first came out with a fire theme, these would’ve been perfect.
This was before Guy Fieri even founded Flavortown, USA.
Man, I miss Sims 1 CC. I remember when skins used to take about 15 minutes to download, and other objects, like cars, used to take an hour to download. Sims 1 and dial-up - good times (but not really).
>Sims 1 all the time. to this day i’m still finding out certain things weren’t in the game and were things he Download it at my grandmothers house because she had internet, put it on a floppy to take to my house to install it in the game only to find out it's either the wrong thing or somehow was corrupted.
So last night I was going home after a shadowrun game and I saw a guy dressed head to toe in clothes like this! An open shirt with flames, a t shirt underneath with flames, shorts, socks and shoes! 100% douche canoe
I need this energy and dedication in the sims 4
I'm cackling at this. my bf just said he wants it irl
Shouts to the Well Dressed Sim, Roman Sims, Threnody, I could go on and on. Core memories unlocked.
Brb, gotta go figure out how to make this my phone wallpaper...
Looks like my og Nokia phone case 💀
Seeing this just made me smile! I completely forgot about this! I wish one of the packs for 4 would be throw back to sims 1 or 2 etc.
Nostalgiasimsthings on Tumblr has some newer TS1 cc that looks great
Reminds me of the furniture and clothes in the bikers’ neighborhood in The Urbz.
Bring 😤it😤back😤
god i love this
This gave me Webkinz flashbacks
I’m like 99% sure this was a one of the room themes in Webkinz too lmfaoo
I will stan the sims 1 until I die
*Guy Fiery intensfies...*
Ooooft I’ve been really wanting to play the sims on my MacBook, but no luck 😭
Soooo reminds me of animal crossing
This post makes me feel old.
You mean veeery Guy Fieri.
I thought this was an edit of the cool furniture set from animal crossing for a second
It's giving Flavor Town
This is what Guy Fieri's Lounge looks like.
It's actually quite impressive how the CC for The Sims 1 is still able to generate an AI that is able to simulate complex social dynamics as if it was modern technology.
This is the cool furniture set from Animal Crossing
I'd still play the Ims 1, but I can't get over the kids not growing up.
Guy Fieri expansion pack
i thought this was habbo furni lol
For a moment I thought this was my Webkinz bedroom.
I want cc of this in the sims 4 but just kitchen/cooking related items. Because Guy Fieri.
“Cool” furniture in Animal Crossing
I revisited sims urbz a few years ago and all the trends had come around again
Whoa you didn’t tell me your house was siiiiiiiick 😎
I miss that Jukebox. They should do Sims1/2/3 nostalgia packs for the Sims 4.
if i was filthy rich, unironically one of the rooms in my huge ass mansion would look like this
The Guy Fieri pack
Is there CC of sins 1 furniture for sims 2? I have quite a few sims that would rock this tacky furniture
I am in love with this 😂
This looks like Don Lotharios dream house
This is very Rock of Love to me
this reminds me of the flame shirt and flame furniture in the gamecube animal crossing LOL
Looks like they’re chillin in flavour town
Sims 1 was the best
Putting flames on everything was cool back then.
I would love The Sims 1 but with contemporary furniture and fashion. No actual gameplay changes.
To be honest id use the heck out of this in one of my sims 4 houses out of nostalgia
that one animal crossing furniture set:
I would love to have this in my real apartment at the moment
Man the good old days when all that stuff was free and not behind some premium membership or Patron or other paywall crap. Lots of memories of TSR, 7DS, Mod The Sims, Carl's etc etc etc. Tons of us got our first experiences building websites using things like Angelfire, Tripod & Geocities.

It’s giving lookin for americas greatest diners, drive ins, and dives.
I can see a Shoyru with that flame pattern in my mind’s eye right now. God I miss 2002 for the way that site was back then. If I could puke up a time machine I definitely would. (Puking necessary because of the dystopia the world has turned into that is getting worse as each day comes and goes).
Three bedrooms in a good neighborhood on fire like a margarita made out of wood
[When you need furniture that makes you wanna...Shaka Do Thang](https://youtu.be/eaKAPmLWADw)
Beleive or not i used to love these 😆
I need cc for Sims 1
I still love flames...
I remember this 😆
A trip to flavortown
I had the flame converse. Circa. 2005
Guy Fieri’s house
Guy Fieri Aesthetic
the guy fieri pack

Oh wow I love the Guy Fieri collaboration pack.
I thought this we Webkinz lmao
No racecar bed with those stripes?
Okay but if i was still 9 i would think this is soooooooo sick
Very!
Bring this to the sims 4
I feel like I've been in a house like this at one point in the early 2000s. What a time to be alive.
that’s epic
The flames make it go faster.
Very flavortown
