The Sims Resource has gone nearly completely pay. They've been struggling to keep open as always for over two and a half. However, costs have risen so high that they changed the model. The new name: TSR v2. All the time, there are about 2000 free downloads still available, and 3 days 2000 new downloads are selected. You can browse the complete catalogs still, and downloadable items are marked. The forums and BluePrint remain free. The subscribers fee has gone down a little, and check payments can now be in US Dollars or UK Pounds too. Systems have been upgraded to provide a better service.

You can have your say about this here (in the TSR Forums) and of course in the comments of this news post.
