After sticking with our well known theme design for over 2 years, we knew it was time to kick it up a notch and build a stable and well-functional foundation for years to come. Our last theme design promised a lot, but sadly failed to deliver many features on many devices. Overlapping content, huge loading times and scattered content around the site were just some of the issues we experienced, but thankfully those issues are no more! After months of hard work, I’m proud to announce that Sims Community 4.0 is now live for everyone!

Introducing Sims Community 4.0!

Sims Community 4.0 brings attention to actual content of this website, rather than just delivering striking visuals and putting important content in the second place.

Before we continue with our Overview that will explain how the new version functions and looks, let us just quickly recap what’s different with this design:

• Bigger focus on actual content
• Easier overview of the latest news and posts
• Better design with less ”white space”
• Design match with SC Social
• Stability
• Site load improvements

I’d like to give a big THANKS to Sims4Thoddy for helping me out with tech stuff related to Sims Community 4.0 – without him this just wouldn’t be possible!
