Useless index of forum based dress-up sites
Here I'm going to document all the forum based dress-up games I know about. I'm going to focus on dressup games with humanoid bases, because I believe there's quite a few furry/animal ones I've never been into or looked for. I'm not equally familiar with all of them. I registered on all of them in order to research and explore, but if I don't play them actively I'm mostly going off other people's opinions. I'm not including phone-only games in this list. I'll throw in tips for the games I'm most familiar with. I am not going to share my username on any of these, as it could easily be traced back to this site and land me a ban lol.
The info should be mostly up to date as I went through all the sites again on the 24th of November, 2023. I've also added a site, Subeta.

Pros:Not that hard to make money
This game is really old so there's a huge amount of clothes to choose from.
Community is alright, around a year ago there was a ton of drama but for casual posting it's nice.
There's a monthly competition that's fun to participate in as you get 7 days to prepare and submit an outfit, you can only submit it once!
You'll get a lot of nice comments on your profile as it's a part of the daily mission, but people also really like to leave comments which I find cute.
Getting the real money currency isn't impossible without real money.
The real money currency is not used for clothes at all.
Don't need the subscribtion to enjoy the game. Barely makes a difference.
Avatars can look really nice and creative as the game allows you to stack as many items you want, and there's no limit on how many items you're allowed from one category either.
Leveling system that will make you log in daily so you can send your bimbo to work, gain fitness, vanity and superficiality (lol)
The site is adult only, and generally being nuanced and critical of things is allowed and it won't get you an insta ban.Cons:Changed the name to ximbo.land for absolutely no good reason
No user trading system or a second-hand market.
The owner of the site is a bit strange and there's often drama surrounding him and his weird leadership. I personally think he's hilarious.
Due to the name of the site it attracts a lot of sissy roleplayers on one hand, and very liberal feminist and annoying people that consider "bimbo" to be the most empowering word in the world. Depending on what you're into, one of those will annoy you.
The forums are sadly a bit dead, I still manage to post sometimes and get replies but not as often as I'd like.
Profile editing isn't very versatile as you can only embed images and put in text.
The searching system in the shop isn't the best.
The staff is a bit weird, sometimes sensitive, not sure how much you're allowed to push their buttons. I personally didn't have many issues with them, but the woke crowd did.Tips:Easy to make money if you make use of holiday crazes and resell clothes (preferably the most expensive dress) while using artifacts called "Julius Ceasar's Coin"
Makey money through games and duels, duels you can skip through the animation by just refreshing the page
You can get gems from logging in daily and using lottery tickets every 3 consecutive days of logging in.
You don't have to get the breast surgery and therefore I recommend choosing a state at the start of the game where it isn't necessary. If you ever want to have bigger breasts you can easily find them in the shop under Other->Skins.
Before the tiktok adults invaded when the pandemic started, the site was mainly populated by old users that played it back in 2008, sissy roleplayers and middle aged women. Now it's a mix of both. -

Pros:Extremely active, therefore a shit ton of clothes and people to interact with.
Making money isn't that hard.
There's a mature section of the forums if you're over 18. Mature doesn't move too fast so you can check it once or twice a day only and be up to date.
A lot of extremely cute designs
A lot of mini games, some easy to farm money with.
Leveling system that doesn't affect your game too much
A good wardrobe system
The site looks really modern and it's easy to navigate and use
There's an app
An extremely customizable profile, the best out of all these sites. You can really make good stuff, although it doesn't allow you complete freedom over css and html so you have to go through some trial and error
Informative clubs about profile designing with a lot of resources, a great way to learn html for beginners
A blog system
Don't need a subscription to enjoy the game. The benefits aren't too crazy.
There's an ingame currency exchange system that allows you to exchange ingame currency for the real money one.Cons:Stay. Away. From. The. Community.
The community is the most cancerous of all, they're extremely unwelcoming to newfags, ironically, while claiming to be the biggest and most inclusive safespace in the world. I recommend only chatting about the game itself (clothes, trading, games, comps).
You can get really rich by manipulating the market and reselling however it takes time to do that so it's kind of a con for me
Moderation in some clubs is horrid, don't bother reporting things that aren't outright nsfw in es gen, pov we are gay or any other large club. Most likely you'll become a target for harassment.
The mature forum isn't much better, it's a circlejerk with twitter adults. Still it's the best place to post in on the whole site. Depending on what you're into it might be perfect for you.
The site is populated mainly by kids (it's 13+) and therefore there's no place for nuance or any kind of discourse. Everything is black and white
The kids call threads "forums" and instead of "bump" they say "up" or "boost" like they're on twitter or tiktok.Tips:If you really want to interact with the community, lurk for a long while and get familiar with all the crazy shit they believe in. ES general club pinned posts in the general section might help. Some of the things to prepare for: neopronouns discourse, non-humanism discourse, if you're white you're not allowed to have avatars that don't fit your skin color or have black people hair, you're not allowed an overly weeby name, not allowed to use aave if you're not black, don't ever mention what media you're into as it has likely been cancelled, everyone is trans, everyone is disabled, everyone is mentally ill.
Don't share a lot of information about yourself.
You can make money by participating in comps and winning prizes, being online at the right time and managing to buy limited items from shops and then resell them for 100x the price
Alt accounts are not allowed so be careful.
If you're white, cis, abled, not autistic, straight - you're not welcome, I recommend faking at least 2 identities to fit in, or just don't be open about who you are at all.
You can spam memory to earn stardust, after every 3rd level refresh. At least this used to be the meta when I needed money. Similar with 2048, just spam keys till you finish the game for mindless farming
For leveling up I recommend having the app and then going under games -> competitions -> filter by voting. You can now vote easily and get 1k xp per comp.
Every two months or so the game has an event called "Galactic Hunt", where you do tasks to earn rewards. If you finish it before the event ends you get a Starpass for free, and then you can claim all the starpass only rewards.
If you decide to participate in Galactic hunt, if you have enough stars skip 20 levels. It will make it much easier for you to finish the hunt in time.
Update 24th November 2023: I feel like the social aspect of this game is kind of dying down. Mature is almost completely dead, and the general culture on the website seems less aggro than before. App users now dominate the site so that's probably why. A lot of good new-ish designers and the shop gets updated faster than before. Competitions still happening on the regular, along with galactic hunt, but due to the site not having an active dev to do some actual updates it just feels like a shell of its former self. Not surprised the admin sold the site off though, the userbase hated him and he probably hated them just as much.
Also, there's some kind of a bot problem which made it so that the staff had to turn off posting in groups, and watching ads on desktop. I'm not really too familiar with the details. -

Forums seem less cancerous than in some dressup games

Pros:Mostly adult female community since this is an old dressup game that got revived
Active forums with moderation that doesn't seem too strict at the moment, although I predict that might change in the future.
Edit 11th of May 2023: It did change... But it's still not nearly as bad as everskies. The community is majorly adult so there's more common sense. Mods have a lot of internal drama apparently but it doesn't reflect too much on the game itself if you don't care about the forum aspect.
Edit 22th of August 2023: It's gotten even worse. Officially the adult version of everskies now, except it's mostly populated by adult nordic women of gender that are obsessed with being holier than thou and educating you on race relations while they spend obscene amounts of money on a dressup game lmao
Edit 23rd of November 2023: Can you believe it got worse? The staff is now establishing an "inclusivity group", whatever that be. Woke scandi women suffering from extreme guilt for being privileged are the bane of my existence. Sad because there was so much potential at first. What's the point of having a mostly adult userbase and then not allowing your users to engage in any kind of interesting topics at all? Despite that though, I still see some fun topics here and there and this is the only avatar game I'll kind of see myself posting in semi-regularly. GSM users can be good at shitposting - especially in comparison to other sites on this list.
Easy to socialize in
Leveling system to keep you sort of engaged
Cons:Earning money hard at the moment, not a lot of games but those are slowly getting reintroduced
Premium sub and buying money kind of expensive
Shop items are all basically limited
Avatars aren't the prettiest
Some annoying adults from everskies joined GSM so be prepared for everskies terminal online behavior, although it's easier to ignore it hereTips:Only buy shop items if you have the VIP 40% shop discount or the non-VIP 25% shop discount pinball effect active!!!! Unless of course the items are right about to exit the shop and you can't get the effect active. This means that when the collection is out you'll
- wishlist the items you like
- grind goMoney for the stuff you want to buy
- try and get the pinball effect to purchase the items at a discount
- bulk buy!
Trading Super Greetings: Log in daily to get greetings. Super greetings (50 greetings worth) can be traded for many things such as VIP days, diamonds and even goMoney. To trade greetings you send super greetings to a person through their profile (hover over their name -> send super greeting) and then send them a trade request for the trade you agreed with. You can find the trade button on the billing page. To get on the billing page click on your diamonds or goMoney.
Update 24th November 2023: Kind of hard to sell supergreetings now. Since their main purpose is to gain xp to level up and a lot of the users that were the biggest spenders are max level the demand is much lower than before.
Because of the limited shop items and how hard it is to earn money ingame currently I recommend buying only things you really want.
GoCodes get dropped fairly frequently, join the unofficial official discord for notifications because they're active for a limited amount of time (like 12 hours). The unofficial discord is also good for getting notifs when the shop updates!
Diamonds (the vip currency) actually don't have big value because there's not that many things you can buy with them
You can also trade goMoney for VIP days. Currently the ratio is 35 gm : 1 vip day -

Cons:Dress up game equivalent of 4chan
I heard it's super cliquey, a lot of problems with grooming
Fugly avatars
Forum users refer to each other as "forumers"
You have to dl it to use it, not browser based.
For some reason the site is in french only, until you download the program which has english. -

Pros:Apparently has a nice community, it seems very social aspect oriented
Decent avatar customizationCons:Not the prettiest avatars imo, still I've seen some decent ones
To contrast it with the above statement, apparently a really NOT nice community. Extremely toxic and unhinged? -

Pros:Nostalgia
Most realistic avatars
Based on irl fashion and trends the most if that's what you're intoCons:You need the premium sub to fart in this game, super greedy, don't think it's worth getting into.
Not that pretty either.

Seems that it works in browser now with ruffle? -

Pros:A cross between Gaia and Neopets
Because of the pet aspect it keeps you logging in/entertained more
Good layering system
Active eventsCons:Small playerbase, similar to Virtual Popstar
Kind of a buggy site, I found it so hard to navigate and at times the loading is so slow
The humanoid avatars are kind of... meh but there does seem to be a good amount of variety -

Base avatar:Dressed up avatars:
Pros:Avatars second to everskies but sometimes I find them even cuter. Don't let the old timey base skin fool you, there's some really nice skins in this game. Seems the avatar is based on the Dollz Mania avatars.
My favourite community, woke but not too woke so you have some breathing room.
They're welcoming enough, a lot of random discussions in the forums. Mostly 18+ users so the average iq is a bit higher.
You collect fans to level up, is ez enough to do but makes you want to log in consecutively so I think it's balanced okay
Site has a more old school feel to it compared to esCons:Kinda hard to earn money
Premium sub is recommended to have.
Forums aren't too active.Similar to mature on everskies(mature on everskies is super dead)
Not too many users online at a timeTips:Familiarize yourself with the Bank -> Redeem Voucher navigation because redeeming codes dropped in random places by the staff will get you rare sets which you can sell later
Play games to earn money and fans
Clothes sadly hard to get, a lot of it not in the shops and instead most of the good shit seems to be limited.
To get a good start you'll have to buy the premium currency. Outside of that, you can sell all the sets you obtain from codes, sell limited items that sometimes drop in the Fashion Shop, and sell the monthly spin/hall of fame sets if youre lucky enough or skilled enough to make it to the top 10 in any of the games.
