Frequently Asked Questions about Donations
Why, how, what, how much...
 
 
Why should I give to your site?

Unfortunatly, maintaining a Sims site, that uses some server space and bandwith, costs money. You might have already seen many of your favorite sites or closing or charging for their downloads to cover the costs for the bandwith (because, yes, these costs are really high).
So, after all, nobody asks me to make a Sims site, so I'm OK to pay for a part of the bandwith, but I don't have enough money to pay all the bills. I've tried to reduce the cost by opening an account at a free server, but it wasn't enough, so I have to open paying accounts.
So, if you like this site, if you would like seeing me doing more things for your favorite game, then, I do need your help, or the site will close because I won't be able to pay anymore.

How can I donate to your site?

Credit card with PayPal is the best way to pay me. It's an american company specialized in this kind of service, so you can trust them. You can read more about PayPal here.
You only need to clik on the PayPal button and it will lead you to the PayPal page.


If you don't have credit card or don't want to give your credit card number on the net, you can mail me to ask me my postal address. Then, you will be able to send me bills (euros only). Don't forget to give me your email address with your donation in such case.

What do I get if I donate to your site?

First, my eternal gratefulness. =)
Oh, it's not what you had in mind? Ok, you'll get all the donators gifts that you can see on Objects pages. All. Previous and future. You don't have to renew your donation to get the new gifts. You'll also get the possibility to download sets with a simple click.
You can see previews of these gifts here.

How much should I give?

I would say that 5.00 euros are the minimum to get all the gifts; you can have the gift of your choice for 2.00 euros.
To know how much is an euro in your currency, have a look here.
In a general way, you can donate how much as you want (but I will refuse and refund too small amounts), but please, consider for a while the amount you give, and what you can do with it in your life. Does Around the Sims brings you as much pleasure as a hamburger? a pint of beer? ... a limosine? =D

How often should I give?
To enjoy the donators gifts, you don't need to donate several times, but of course, your help is always more than welcome and so precious for the site!
Actually, it's even better to five once $10 than 5 times $2, as in the first case, the site receives $9.31, and in the second, the site receives $8.1, but it's up to you, and thank you anyway. =)

How do I grab the donators gifts?
Once you have paid, you're redirected by PayPal to a page where password and username are given to you. Note them in a very safe place because they won't be regiven to you in case of loss.
Then, when you'll want to download sets or gifts at the site, use the password and username that have been given to you.

Hey!!! I have donated and I haven't received the password! Help!
Aah, you're not supposed to receive a mail from me, actually. You're supposed to be redirected by PayPal immediatly after your paiment. I can't say why it didn't work for you, but mail me and COPY THE RECEIPT YOU GOT FROM PAYPAL. I'll give you the informations you have missed.

I don't have a credit card, can I help anyway?

Yes, I copy here what I wrote above:

If you don't have credit card or don't want to give your credit card number on the net, you can mail me to ask me my postal address. Then, you will be able to send me bills (euros only). Don't forget to give me your email address with your donation in such case.
