/gen/ - General Discussion

Way back in the twilight era of AOL all we had was physical boomer smut, yahoo groups, and dimensionsmagazine.com The Sims Legacy Collection is a thing now, allowing The Sims 1 to run on modern PCs. On the Dimensions Magazine website back in 2002, when I was very young and spending far too much time ogling obese women on dial-up and molding myself into the perverted dreg of society I am today, I used a mod for the Sims Deluxe found here: https://www.dimensionsmagazine.com/Weight_Room/Sims/ There was once a time in recent memory where dimensionsmagazine.com was viewable in the waybackmachine, but at some point unknown to me has since been requested to be privated (interesting... the entire website is lost media unless someone has backed it up). The only image I can find of this mod, which was the exact image they used to promote it back then, I found in some PDF of someone writing a report on Sims modding in 2009. (https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/8732/76dadea289f031326529d19f662f9faa4311.pdf) Unless one of you somehow has a 25 year old fetish mod just burning a hole in your hard drive or cloud, this is certainly lost to time. I feel as though it should be preserved simply because "size acceptance" (perversion brainwashing) has made fat/curvy women in video games and video games mods a lot more visible and this is among the first ever mod I can think of that appealed to such sensibilities. Feel free to use this thread as a dumping ground for any similar "Lost Media" inquiries and hope someone more autistic than you data hoarded where you failed.
