As far as doubling up requests, that's usually the job of a moderator to keep under control. And, if there was only one request thread, and the others were for uploading content only, it would be much cleaner. Unfortunately I think the mods here work the whole site instead of one forum, so having someone specifically for sims related threads would be helpful. I'd like to talk to the site managers about that but i'm not sure how to go about it, besides maybe applying to be a mod and putting it in the notes.
