Iām excited to unveil the new design, which I personally crafted with ā¤ļø to provide the framework that the SmokingSweeties filmography truly deserves.
Starting now, some content, such as certain old productions and the model’s list, requires you to log in to access.
The known issues below will be addressed ASAP:
- Orders placed between 16 March 2024 and 17 September 2024 are missing.
- Expired download link reactivation is temporaly not possible.
- ‘Watch Online’ a purchased video has to be implemented.
Everything else is working better than ever!
Thank you for your continued support over the past 17 years and for helping to make SSW a better place. I trust youāll enjoy the upgraded browsing experience.
PS: Feel free to leave suggestions about the design in the comments below and report any errors you might encounter.

Hi ran, Love your work.
I cannot find the Models tab. Where is it located on the main page please?
I did get to the models page by using google search however and noted that there are a number of bios missing e.e Elaheh, Steffi, etc. I personally love reading the bio’s for the models, will this continue to be updated to capture all models?
Lastly any plans to get Gwen back??
Cheers and thanks
Fran
The link to the models bios on the menu appears only when logged in. I’m not sure if I want such a public access to this info nowadays. If you have an account and login it will appear on the side menu, together with the video categories.
I’m aware that there are missing bios, but for some I don’t have the info, or I should review the complete video interviews to gather the info, but belive it, there are a lot of priority tasks on the road map and I’m alone on this.
About plans of which models will come or not. I am creating a section for such feedback (only for users with an account). I hope it will be ready soon.

Hi Fran!
Like the new design, but had to create a new account to purchase the latest video for some unknown reason! Now none of my previous purchases show up.
Fran
Use the password recovery button during login to access to your previous account. It should have all your old orders imported from tee old website
If the email account you used to register has been lost, I can change your email address, so you will receive the password recovery email.

Love the site redesign. Feels very clean and comfortable to use. I’m happy to see that this site remains a labor of love and this degree of devotion. Your videos are just in a league of their own, far and away better than anything else like them. Thanks for all your hard work. Keep it up!

Hi Fran,

Hi, new design look great. Unfortunately I can’t buy video. Every time same error “Billing Postcode / ZIP is not a valid postcode / ZIP.” I don’t see any place where to write postcode.
Fran
I can’t replicate the issue, but I’ve tweaked some settings to bypass that unnecesary validation. Can you retry?
ATGM
Thanks for reply. Error has gone. Everything is ok.

Hi, good work on fresh new design! I would ask for some functional request, a button to change the thmbnail size, I rellay can’t find my fav’s videos and I hope the colors can be more personaliazed. thanks
Fran
Favorites lists from visitors from the old website have not been imported. Sorry.
Agree with the thumbnail size button. I guess you mean to make thumbs more little.
AAbout the colors, I will need to know about your preferences. You can switch to dark/light mode on the page footer.
Joe
You made it, Fran! I’m very proud of you, Fran, and of the amazing website you created! Thank you for letting me be part of this journey. By the way, did you receive my last email?
Joe
Please check. Sort by cheapest or longest doesnt work in combination with endless scrolling
Fran
I would like to reproduce the error. Which filter combination have you used?
I’m executing now a complex query and infinite scroll returns correct results.
Joe
1. Click on “show all”
2. Sort by “cheapest”
3. Click on one video link detail page
4. Go back.
Sort stays still at “cheapest” but is mixed up

Fran-
I can see a lot of time and thought went into this. I am fundamentally, a “Change is bad” guy, when it comes to sites that I have become familiar with.
This aside, the design and layout is better overall. I assume that the mandatory password change was due to the new site. I dislike the mustard color of the selection buttons.
The one significant feature that I found lacking on my first visit was that when reviewing my orders there is not title detail on the main screen. order number, date and amount. Did the old page have this, or is it my imagination? I see that you are addressing things in the other comments. I thank you for your effort and responsiveness.
Fran
About the primary colors, it would be a great discussion to start. Blue? Black? Orange? Dark red? Ember gradients? The discussion is open.
However I guess you refeer to the “my.account” page, where there is an overload of mustard color on the buttons
I’ve checked the orders page and it states the number, date and amount, and on the single-order page it also states the tiles of the videos. However it can happen than on some very old orders, or very recent, the data is still being imported from the old site, so it may appear as empty fields.
About the password, they were encrypted on the old site for safety, and I didn’t success on writting a script to decrypt them and re import them here.

I think the site redesign looks good and is largely easier to navigate. But if we are suggesting new features, I think a filter that allows me show only clips which I have yet to purchase would be very useful.
Fran
Added to the features roadmap.
Joe
Please add a Feature to subscribe on
– specific model
