Listen: (... I mean read)

Quote:
Step 1: Download and install System Files. Restart Windows after installation completed, and then come back to this site.
Step 2: Download simulations from either Payware Sims or from Donationware, and then install them.
Step 3: Open the start menu and go to "SimSig" under "All Programs".
Step 4: If you see the name of the simulation you downloaded, start it. Otherwise start "SimSig Loader".
Step 5: Enjoy!
Basically the process of installing and playing SimSig is pretty simple if you have experienced it, but not for newcomers. (Tell me if I'm wrong)

So what I suggest is to put the above text on the index page, with a large font, instead of simply putting a link to the wiki and let newcomers help themselves.

It could do with a serious revamp, yes.

Would having a clear link on the home page to a dedicated website page (not wiki) with clear instructions (and maybe pictures :woohoo: ) work? I think having instructions on a separate page would make them easier to follow and not clog up the home page

Kind of like a quick start page but not in the Wiki, yes, that's a good idea.
