A Message To All International Exchange Users
Please note I'm currently working on the new site. I didn't want to take the site offline though, so you can still visit it. However me working on the site while it's still online means a lot of the pages will appear wonky. But not to worry, it won't take too long.

Many of you have noticed that we recently closed the Exchange to support US-English only. We did this because of instability issues that could be caused by cross-downloading between languages, in order to protect you from losing your content and/or having to reinstall. While we will continue to officially only support US-English, we do want Sims fans across the world to be able to spread their creativity around! Our code does support all single-byte languages except Polish, but double-byte languages (Chinese, Japanese, Korean, etc.) are not supported. We will be opening downloads up to all single-byte languages except Polish on the next SimDay. Remember, downloading other user's content is risky. Please consult the HELP section for the best ways on getting other user's content into your game. We are also working on building in official multi-language support for the exchanges in order to let you upload your content to your heart's desire. We ask for your patience as we work on getting this support to the best that it can be.
