A few months ago, a professional web designer named Jon Boutell contacted me after one of my posts was made popular on
reddit.com/r/thesims/. He offered to redesign our Sims 4 Guide to make it more modern in look and more accessible to mobile users. I accepted the offer, and we talked out my needs for the design. He worked on it in his spare time, and has now submitted the final version to me for conversion. I am very grateful for the time and effort he put into this design, for it is much smoother to go from section to section with it, or rather will be when I am done with the work necessary to make it live. It looks excellent with the banner made from Forum Sims made by
@justproud2b and the designer had that in mind when making it.
Address Redacted - too many bots hitting now-irrelevant test server
For now, the only area that works is the Careers section (which you can get to from Guides at top), but I think you will like the navigation there. For everything else, links are broken and it will take quite some time for me to fix it. Naturally, this is a preview and not how things will look - it's actually from a portion of the site last fall. I will need to work on the carousel (the rotation of links on the home page). February will be a very slow month in terms of new pages. Once this transformation is finished, I'll move this over to the live server and let everyone use the new version.
I'm going to finish Collecting in the meantime, so that when the new version is ready that area has complete navigation. I'll also update any tables, like cooking for Outdoor Retreat, so that when the new guide is up it has all updates completed. Careers still need editing, so there's a lot to be done this month. I'm looking forward to finishing this move and getting back to what I love doing
Note that when you are on mobile the tables automatically resize to accommodate the screen, while news drops to the bottom in a graceful manner (not like the current guide, which is awful at that
). This can be viewed on desktop by un-maximizing a browser window and shrinking the view.
