Wesite Questions ETC...

Hey,

I am hoping to open a small website for The Sims 2, It would be a very small site, and just to exchange home lots, and other small things... I am really into Architeture, and I use The sims 2 daily, and have over 50 different lots that i made. So what I was wondering is, if I were to open a site like this (weeweeslap) is it against any trademarks, or copyrights to do so? There already is a site called mod the sims 2, but I think it sucks... So that is why I want to open my own, and Also to get a hands on experience with HTML and web designing... But I still don't know if I will. So I am just wondering about that one question about copyrights for now, but besides that, none.

Thanks.

Yes, it's perfectly legal, but just as a note, it's really not worth the time money and hassle. Trust me, everyone has the idea of building a website and 99.999% of people get bored with it after a month. But it is always worth a try just to familiarise yourself with html and the other side of how websites work. But trust me, making websites isn't all fun and games

im taking a class about all that right now, its all a pain in the... but its kinda interesting.. if you get a god enough site going im sure that youd eventually get into it.

Trust me, if you want an exchange and all that, forget doing it within HTML.

For a serious site, you need PHP 5 and learn the Object Orientated Programming Style.

Then you need to get a hold of a decent PHP 5 framework. I recommend using Cakephp.

You can then rapidly prototype your site.

Still want to do it? Thought not.

There's a million of Sims 2 mod sites.
If I were you, you could ask to be a creator for one of them and you can give them your designs and mods.
They'll pay you, too, if they're a pay-to-download site.

I could not have said it any better myself. Websites are a bear to run ... and with updates, then an exchange, etc. -- ugh ...

I didn't get bored of mine... its just boring that noone goes on it, granted there's nothing much on it, but i still think it looks damn good for being self coded and me knowing not much about HTML and Divs
