Another Site Goes Free!

[Irish Wench]

Savage Sims just announced that with the advent of Sims 3 he is setting all of his Member files free!

Wow, they've been pay since, what, TS1 days? Kind of surprising, actually, but definitely good!

Congrats Savage Sims Welcome to the Free Sims Community - btw it will be added to the 20 sites/LJ/Dreamwidth Accts/Asian Sites that I just finished adding to the Free Sites links list- update to be posted next week

I think i just downloaded half of their site & i don't even play TS1 or TS2 anymore Congrats on going free! Thanks for the link Parrothead

I am looking through and sensing the recolor possibilities- esp the Papasan chair.

I found this site years ago; I'm so glad they are finally free. Sadly I think that once they start creating CC for TS3 they will return to pay again. Its possible that they have just set the TS2 stuff to free in an attempt to gain popularity before they release the TS3 content.

I really do hope I'm wrong though.

[dstar]

The other possibility is that the creator is either going to work for TSR (always a sad possibility) or they are planning to retire from creating. He might just genuinely be sick of dealing with shit from the community for being pay- if you look at how many paysites have utterly disappeared-or become inactive- in comparison to the number of completely free sites- it seems to be a trend. We have only had maybe 5 new paysites pop up in the last year or so. Before the last EP/SP for TS2 came out they were popping out of the woodwork at the rate for 1-2 per month. It would not be all that surprising to me if he released all content for free and then remained free as a TS3 site tiher- XM Sims is very slowly but surely releasing all Sims 1 and 2 donation packs - and thus far they are still free for Sims 3 even though the other major pay sites for TS2 have already gone pay or remained pay to begin with (not that there are many left)

I have a feeling he might be done with creating. There hadn't been an update at the site for 2 years. Plus I got this information at CTO, the file share forum for Sims 1, so hopefully the site stays free, cause there are some quality downloads there.

That might make sense. If he's "retiring", than at least people can have free access to TS2 stuff for porting into TS3. That said, I'd LOVE a papasan chair!

[dstar]

Having just tried to recolor it for personal use - (since that is all his TOU allows for his member downloads and he hasn't changed it yet) it might be very difficult to convert the papasan chair for TS3. The UV's are incredibly complex. I haven't really looked at the mesh yet but if it is similar it will be a bitch to convert.


I agree Parrotthead - given he hasn't updated in awhile it is highly likely that he is pulling an Eclectic Sims- putting everything up for free as a resource for other creators and doing site maintenance but that is all. I don't mind either way he has some good stuff. I love the aquarium stuff even though I would never ever use it in game.

That's actually if you gonna play the game in the first place.

Dumb question I suppose.  By why are you hanging around on this board if you don't play the game and don't like the game?

[ScooterBabe]

'Cause he's a troll i.e. RetartdoLander from MATY that flounced and apparently wants to find a new home to spout stupid shit in.

[qwebnm]

You b-/-roke my heart both of you. I might go complain now about people being big meanies.  

[lewisb]

Qwebnm, unlike MATY, there is no canning and regulating to posting in certain threads. Threadsh*tting will earn you a ban very quick. I would advise you to behave here, or you will not get the chance to have a poll about who wants you to stay or leave, you will be gone.

Oh yeah, Pescado visit here alot, dude.
