How to register on:
Mila Sims World
Sims 2 City

Thank you Aileen. The following was sort of requested at simscave, in a thread on how to register at Sim Angeles forum, where the awesome mesher DreamCatcher is in the admin staff. I hope that this small tutorial can be of good help.



Note that my Russian is very very basic, but I know the Cyrillic alphabet a bit. I used translate.google to translate in English, German and French - sometimes I had to correct a bit in German and French.

So here we go !

Forum view as a guest


What you see first as a guest, when the forum is public, in the header navigation bar from left to right (note that the Portal is optional) :





The registration form


Depending on where the forum is hosted, what the forum admin chose for forum settings, while registering, you might enter directly your own password (one of your choice) or you might be sent a temporary one to change after validation of your membership. Chances are that you'll get a confirmation E-mail... in Russian only. You should be able to highlight the E-mail message and copy-paste it into translate. google for a translation.



If you got a field for Password, in Russian it should be : пароль (pronounced parol, like a French word meaning spoken word).

Never forget this word : послать which can mean send or validate. You will find this very word, everytime you change, validate in a form or send a message, a reply, or when you post, with or without preview. So it's important to have this word in mind.



Account settings

You might have to choose them already on registration and if so they aren't optional. If you don't check such mandatory fields, your registration can't be validated, on some Russian forums. You can change those options, once you're a member, in Profile settings.







Log in and once logged in

A few words for you to remember, as a forum member :





Profile settings

From one forum to another they might vary. Some of them are irrelevant and sometimes in some sections you can't even operate changings.
Note well where to change the password : it's right under Nickname/Name. Maybe in a section called Имя, пароль и e-mail

In the Profile settings, it's not an obligation to fill out all sections. Some are optional.

Privacy settings are to change again options to get E-mails, private messages, etc.





Private messages


Please, respect a minimum of good manners and always type in something clear enough in the Subject line for the message receiver. If you're known to an admin, moderator or forum member, just write something in the Subject line like "I'm (nickname) from (this other site) but here my nickname is ... after I registered".





Posting in a forum

Before posting, see the structure of the message board, explore it. You can find some Firefox or Chrome extensions to translate a whole Web-page, however not all in some sections. Then you'll get the idea on where you may post as new member or older member.

That's very good, @Lizzy. This can be used for other forums as well. If anybody needs any help with the Russian ones, I can help I'll write something too when I have time.

I wanted to do that before, but now that our wonderful @Lizzy has inspired me, I want to share some tips on how to register on Mila Sims World. Mila is a very talented creator from Russia and she has her own forum where you can download her creations. We've featured her work on the forum a lot of times, and you can view the submissions here.

In order to download from Mila's forum, you need to register an account. Click Регистрация as shown, or just use this link.


Here's what the page looks like. You need to fill in your name (Имя) and your valid e-mail address. These steps are mandatory. You can also choose your time settings, but it is rather optional. For example, the forum recognised mines automatically.


After the time there's also a list of options.
Выберите свои личные настройки Choose your personal preferences.
Выберите, каким образом вы хотите, чтобы ваш e-mail адрес отображался на форуме, и хотите ли вы, чтобы другие пользователи имели возможность слать вам e-mail сообщения через форум или нет. Choose in what way you would like your e-mail to be displayed on the forum and if you would like to give other members an opportunity to contact you by your e-mail address via the forum or not.
It gives us the options to:
Показывать ваш e-mail адрес. Show your e-mail address.
Скрыть ваш e-mail адрес, но разрешить слать вам сообщения через форум. Hide your e-mail address, but let people contact you via the forum.
Скрыть ваш e-mail адрес и запретить слать вам сообщения через форум. Hide your e-mail address and disallow contacting you via the forum.

Another option is to allow the forum to remember you. If you tick it, your login details will be stored in your cookies. If you don't, you will have to enter your details every time you visit the forum.

As you can see, this is optional too. When you are ready, hit the square button that says Регистрация. If you are too lazy to mess around with registering manually, you can also register via VK, Facebook, Odnoklassniki, Mail.ru, Google+ and Yandex.


Yay! You're done. Now just check your e-mail and follow the instructions there. They are also in Russian. Just go back to the forum and use your login (имя) and password (пароль) given in the e-mail.


We're back now. Press Войти to log in or use this link.


Enter your details. Remember that you need to get your password from the e-mail you've just received.

Here's where you can choose your avatar and fill in your profile fields. You can do that if you want, but we are going to go back to the forum (Форум). Сlick the link as shown or use this one.


We are almost done! Mila also asks to leave one message in one of the two topics to be able to see the download links. Let's do that. There are two topics Mila suggests to use: this one or this one. Those topics are for your feedback. You can thank Mila for her wonderful work there, but don't just leave one smiley.


Click Ответить (Reply) in one of those two topics. Write your message and press Отправить (Send).


Congratulations! You can now download on Mila's forum.

I was logged in to Mila's forum to see better the details of the profile options, you can highlight them and then copy to translate. Thank you Aileen for this too.
