Make sure you read to the end of this file if you wish to use any of this content for more than just your own personal gaming.

In every zip file you will find this readme.txt, a ScreenShot and the actual object, wallpaper or floor. Anything else should be treated as suspect and I cannot and will not be held responsible.

On large files you may find a file with the extension of "Rar". This can be opened with quite a few programs on the net. Just check if the program you currently use to open zip files can extract "Rar" files. Please don't email me to complain. The Rar format helps to reduce download sizes.

To install, place all;

Objects in your   \Maxis\The Sims\Downloads
Walls in your     \Maxis\The Sims\GameData\Walls
Floors in your    \Maxis\The Sims\GameData\Floors
Roofs in your     \Maxis\The Sims\GameData\Roofs
Skins in your     \Maxis\The Sims\GameData\Skins

Paths may vary according to where you installed your game.

All these files have been through an up to date anti-virus program but I am not responsible for any crashes, loss of data or any other possible bad side effects of using these files.

All objects have a "Magic cookie number" so they should not clash. However, objects from other sources may have the same number by coincidence and that I cannot control!

Should you experience any oddities or wish to contribute some ideas . . . send me an email.

Lastly, make sure you understand the "Terms & Conditions" below and ENJOY!

_____________________________________________________________________________


Terms & Conditions
__________________

It has sadly become necessary to create this document! Since some people have no respect for people's work I have specified exactly what may and may not be done with the content from this web site.

This document applies to every page of content on this web site. On some pages there are special conditions, which apply.

These terms and conditions can and will be updated as and when required.


Conditions of file sharing
__________________________

Files that have been downloaded from the site may be distributed freely as long as the Archive file (Zip, Rar or any packaged file) is intact as it was downloaded. That means in plain language that you may not just distribute objectfilename.iff on its own or within another Archive file. The reason for this is so that the Readme.txt file is included which points back to this web site.

You MAY NOT charge to distribute any content from this web site. So if your method of distribution requires a shipping fee then you may not include any content from this web site. In addition you may not put any of the content on this site on a Compact Disk or floppy disk to be distributed either on the Internet, magazine or via post. This is in order to avoid people finding loopholes in my terms.

So basically the content on the site is "File Share Friendly" as long as the files are intact as when they were downloaded and there is no charge for the item in any way, shape or form.


Cloning Policies
________________

I reserve the right to grant or refuse any one the right to clone or use any part of my objects. I am very reasonable and if you want to use my work as a base to create your own then you MUST abide by these simple conditions. If you don't agree then just don't use my work or objects!
You must first email or contact me in another way before permission may be given. If you do not get a response, do not assume that you have an AUTOMATIC right to use anything from this site as a base for your own work. Please just contact me again if you do not hear from me within a reasonable time period.

The reason why you must contact me is that I wish to see what you have created because I love new things for my game. There have been some beautiful clones and objects made from my objects. I would not have known about them otherwise unless I was downloading from that site! Not exactly the ideal situation to download stuff made from my own hard work!
You must either email me or provide me a link to the final work so that I may get the use of it too.
You may not use ANY of the objects or content on this web site if you will be making a financial profit in any way, shape or form. So this means you can make an object and place it up for download for free but you may not use it on a pay or donation section of a web site. You may not try the loop hole that the donation object is not for profit but to cover the costs of the running of the site etc. YOU MAY NOT CHARGE ANYTHING FOR ANY CONTENT FROM THIS WEB SITE! I hope that it clear enough.

Trust me when I tell you that I know enough people who download from Pay Sites! Word always gets around.
You MUST include the ORIGINAL Readme.txt file (that was shipped with the Archive file you downloaded from this site) together with your new object or content!
A link or a reference back to my site is also appreciated. I have personally found so many wonderful sites and variations through these links to the original creators site.

There is no email address on this document due to the nature of change of internet sites (and also due to certain people who managed to get my email addresses onto spam lists though carelessness) but you can get in touch with me via the web site namely, http://simposium.virtual-avenue.com/ or http://groups.yahoo.com/group/TheSimposium/
