got_nerd is right about the pronunciation and none of those names are my real name. The reason that it has two i's is because the name with one i's was already taken and i didn't want to change it so i just added an i. Amy and sims website names with sims in it are boring.

I'm not a liar. I'm not sure missangelica why you're going on about the community not needing my stuff when i just said the exact same thing. Read idiot.

I would explain the valid reason except for the fact that i know most of you are assholes and will use it to royally fuck me over. Anyway i'm over this.

See i actually have a reason but because i haven't given an explanation and you all have nothing else to go off you're just going to go on with the same bullshit that you said with everyone else e.g. attention whore. If i was going to bother being an attention whore i'd be doing it in reality where it's real rather than searching for attention over the internet.

I don't remember ever saying i don't care. Obviously i care to a certain extent or i would ignore it, and you're all posting in here because you have a certain amount of 'care' (for many different things not including me).

I'm not being blackmailed and it's not because i have money to pay off. Even if you all tried your very hardest there is no way you would guess and there is no way you would find out. My obligation is not that i feel like the community needs my stuff, fuck i know i'm not the best creator in the world and i never said otherwise. You all seem to actually make up shit so that you have something to bitch about.

Also how am i reopening my site? Just because my host is down right now doesn't mean the site has closed.

The things that i would have in the members section wouldn't have anything to do with the EULA. They wouldn't have anything to do with bodyshop and aren't creations you can put into your game. Yeah, i don't really think people are gonna pay for it either but i honestly couldn't care. All the actual game content is going to be in the free section anyway.

I'd actually prefer all the shit about me to stop. The only reason i come here is because i'm not the kind of person to just sit back and take it or let people slander my name.

Don't tell me what i do and don't want either. You don't know me at all as do none of you here and your assumptions are made from comments over the internet.

My mum bought my PC, my mum pays the electricity bills, i paid for the sims with my youth allowance (when i was younger and still receiving that) and as for leisure time i work and haven't updated my website in a month so clearly i don't have as much leisure time as you seem to think i do. Honestly, you've got no idea. How can people be stupid enough to crap on about shit they have no idea or facts about? Such a waste of time. *cue bitching because my mum paid for things* Woot for me, my mum loves me.

Like i said, i'm not opening a member's section because i want to earn money and be a big rich evil paysite person for you to all bullshit on about i'm doing it because i'm obligated. Sometimes it seems as if people here can't read things as they are said and always seem to have to find some hidden meaning that suits them better.
5  The Pirate Ship / ARR! / New paysite threatening to open on: 2007 March 28, 14:59:15
HA. Not these obligations. There are way better things you could be devoting your time to other than 'omfg paysites *tear* onoesss!1!1111!!!!'. I won't be charging for meshes or anything that involves the EULA either so it's not going to be illegal and therefore none of you should give a shit.

I edited my first post btw to add in things that i forgot. They weren't tacked onto the end or anything. Also i'm wondering what you classify as a REALLY valid reason. As far as i've seen absolutely nothing is a valid reason. Also what's wrong with editing posts? I'm sure that if i made one tiny spelling mistake like this 'ive' then i would receive a bunch of petty bullshit from you.
6  The Pirate Ship / ARR! / New paysite threatening to open on: 2007 March 28, 13:15:35
I'm not upset at all. No bubble has been burst because there was none to begin with.

I registered on your radar for 'mentioning' that i 'may' open a paysite. I got a lot of shit for nothing. If i had actually opened a paysite then i'd understand all the bullshit and invasion because that's what you guys are about. But i didn't and still haven't.
7  The Pirate Ship / ARR! / New paysite threatening to open on: 2007 March 28, 13:06:40
Like i said without any explanation you aren't going to understand it. I got myself into something serious with this before i knew about the EULA. If i had have known i would have never opened a website with a member's section. Honestly i would have much preferred uploading to MTS2. I will however give you my reason for not giving you an explanation, i don't trust any of you and i'm sure you'll find a way to use it to fuck me over in reality. I have enough troubles without giving myself more.

Also i'll only be having the member's section open until somewhere like September because it is then that my obligation ends. Not too far away.
8  The Pirate Ship / ARR! / New paysite threatening to open on: 2007 March 28, 12:45:09
Firstly it's Ameliiya not Amelia. Not pronounced anything like Amelia. Otherwise i would have named the bloody site Amelia. The reason it's been dead for awhile is because i work and have had a bunch of personal shit happening. Also looking for a new host because clearly my host in dead. Not sure what happened there.

As for the Lyric Lee bullshit i've had her msg me a few times but i'd never even talked to her before then. But of coarse anyone that has an opinion different from you guys must be buddy buddy with eviiiilll Lyric Lee. Pfft.

Yes, the 'they' i was referring to was you guys. It was all posted in that thread that was linked before. When the member's section opens (yes it's opening thanks for bringing it up again noob) it's only going to have a few services not any meshes (that's what i've decided now anyway). The only reason i'm even opening a members section is because i'm obligated. No you don't get a reason or further explanation because well, i can't be bothered. What's the point in giving you something else to criticize.

Also in regards to the having the names for genders etc up but no downloads that's because i plan to make them in the future and want people to know that. It's not like i've linked them to a blank page. None of them are clickable. If i tried to make my site have not a single thing that was annoying to anyone there wouldn't be a site because someone is always annoyed about something. Nothing is perfect and i really couldn't be bothered changing it either.

I'm actually kind of over the whole sims thing but like i said i'm obligated. The whole sims world is filled with more bitchiness and in your words 'twelveness' than fucking high school.

Now...back to the matter at hand. RetailSims went overboard with announcing to the whole sims world that she was depressed and so on. However what she is doing with her site is perfectly reasonable. I've read somewhere that she's going to make the content, upload pics but not upload the files. Which honestly, if i was a paysite owner i'd do too.


That doesn't sound at all ridiculous to you?  Making content and sharing pics so people can then beg her for them, only for her to say, "Sorry, I found out a site is sharing my content so until they take it down, I'm holding my shit hostage."

That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard.  If she wants to make content, fine.  If she wants to accept donations, also fine.  I'm sure she'll get some.  Good creators do (not that I even know if she's any good, I don't have any of her stuff in my game - well, I did download it all for future sharing if she stays gone) get donations.  But because someone is sharing one thing she has on her site, she's taking her toys and going home (sorry twojeffs, I love this saying too much).  What a baby, and it doesn't mean this site will stop sharing her stuff.  In fact, I daresay it means that Pescado will put up all her free stuff too under a special "Unavailable" section.

She's not benefitting anyone but Pescado.  One down, how many now to go?


I think her point in doing it is not because she is having this tiny bit of money taken away from her but that Pescado is now targeting all the people who are genuinely offering a small donation option for bandwidth. Pescado may say that he's doing her a favour but not every sims site wants to run under Pescado just so they can have free bandwidth.

Elmolovecyclops, I did not post that to mock or make light of people who have mental illnesses. I was trying show that here we have another example of someone using their illnesses and/or personal issues *as an excuse* to charge for their content. It is also worth pointing out that there are people out there who have physical and psychological disabilities who also do not charge for their content. I do not see how having a crappy life (which many of us here can empathize with) justifies "needing" to charge for content. As a community of Sims fans we do not owe our fellow community members money for indulging in their hobby.


I didn't mean for it to sound as if i thought you were mocking people with mental illnesses so my apologies if i did.

I was just thinking that what their trying to convey (although some of them went over the top) is that a mental illness can be really physically demanding. Charging for content (whether people agree or not) is actually a really great option for someone with a mental illness as they can work their mind without having to have a lot of physical strenuation. It's kind of a hard concept to explain if you haven't experienced a mental illness (a real one) which is why i asked how many of you have experienced it.

I'm also sure you're all going to argue the point and say that there are other things they could do that aren't physically demanding and so on but why not do something you enjoy? Oh because this one is illegal. Which is still a point being discussed and trying to be put down as fact.

Quote from: "Flonne"
Up until a couple of months ago, I'd have been in the "Sane Like Pescado" club. But then I failed a university course I'd paid over £1000 for, my grandma was diagnosed with cancer, and I was diagnosed with depression. Before that I'd had a pretty skeptical attitude towards depression/anxiety disorders, and I always wondered why people didn't just "snap out of it".

Are you sure you're DEPRESSED, as opposed to simply UNHAPPY? It seems to me you have plenty to be just plain ORDINARY unhappy about. People aren't always supposed to be happy, you know, despite what people tell you. The problem with all these diagnoses is that they can pin anything on you. I personally fit the profiles of tons of mental illnesses, but there's one key difference: I'M NOT SUFFERING FROM INSANITY. I *LIKE* BEING THIS WAY! I don't want to be a zombie!


Pescado you're pretty damn right with that one. Flonne it does sound like you are or were just unhappy. If someone does have a mental illness it goes for years, you don't just have a pill and have it go away and it takes a damn lot of hard work to get rid of it. It's also very physically incapacitating (sp?). I think a lot of doctors probably falsely diagnose depression just so they can give the people a small dosage of meds and have them 'think' they're all better when really they've just gotten over it. Most likely to cover their arses in case the person decides to go kill themselves or something and the doctor had turned them away saying they weren't mental.  

As for everyone being normal, i really don't think there is a normal. Everyone is just...different. But there are people with mental illnesses and as for Pescado fitting into many mental illness profiles, be careful where you get your information from. Also Pescado like you said you're just a jerk, you're not mental. There's a big difference. No offence intended =)

Just to clear things up a bit.

Clinical Depression: a depression so severe as to be considered abnormal, either because of no obvious environmental causes, or because the reaction to unfortunate life circumstances is more intense or prolonged than would generally be expected.

It has something to do with a chemical inbalance in the brain and medication is meant to balance that out and help people be more realistic about situations. For instance some people with depression will go nuts over accidently dropping something and medication is meant to help them act usually about that situation. But a pill still won't fix everything.

Now...back to the matter at hand. RetailSims went overboard with announcing to the whole sims world that she was depressed and so on. However what she is doing with her site is perfectly reasonable. I've read somewhere that she's going to make the content, upload pics but not upload the files. Which honestly, if i was a paysite owner i'd do too.

Just because this happened now doesn't mean that they did it because of this site.

I did!!  :shock:  I was depressed because I failed a year of school. Was no fun at all... and it's much more common than people would think.
There's no shame in it, because there's not much you can do about it.

Shit does happen to alot of people, and some let it effect every single thing they do... but do know, that when you are in this kind of situation your judgement of how you behave and what you do is completely warped. It's not an excuse, but then you do know why some people make an ass of themselves or do weird stuff when they are in a situation like this.


Nice to have someone who has some understanding of mental illnesses. Probably why you're not being an arse like some people.

Just thought I would post a little something from Retail Sims that was posted awhile back:

Personal update:  I lost my job on June 15 which only added to some rather serious health issues (mental, not physical). I've had a lot of really bad events come at me all at once and considering the substantial mental (& physical) scars of a brutal childhood I discovered I had a limit to how much stress I could actually handle. I am in therapy and a small host of marvelously ineffective drugs, at least until my health insurance runs out. Doing this stuff keeps me from jumping off my 21st floor balcony or obsessing endlessly over every mistake I've every made in life, the death of every animal I've had (I had to put one of my cats down on the 14th of June, the day after my birthday), and every other bad event in my life. Oh yeah, I got engaged on June 21, 2006. Talk about a whirlwind. Anyways, the site should have quite a few updates for at least the next 3-4 weeks or until it becomes absolutely necessary for me to get another job (which causes a panic attack just thinking about it). At least I can pretend to be sane while I do this. *sigh* The bad news, for all of you, is that I may charge for some of the upcoming sets. I hate to do that but if it keeps me from having to leave the house for a job for a while I may have to resort to it. Of course that depends on my ability to figure out how to set that up. As you can tell I don't know a damn thing about web development so I wouldn't get too worried about having to pay for anything yet.


Make of it what you will. To me, it smacks a little of LyricLee's whole "feed my kids!" argument. :roll: Bad shit happens to people time and time again, but we're all just a little tired of hearing about why we have to give them our money.


Just out of curiosity how many of you have or have previously had a mental disorder?

The thing that bugs me most is that you can't discuss something with someone who is sharing a different side or opinion without being a rude pig. You turn every discussion into an argument and for no reason at all. You never knew me before, never had anything against me in the first place so you had no reason to do that. Last but not least every thing i say gets brought back to LyricLee when i really don't give a shit about the whole Lyric situation. So stop being rude and let it go.


All you have to do is say that getting free pay files is awesome.
Regardless of your moral belief.

I can see your post in a month where you will say "I cant believe I ever downloaded those files. This is so wrong blah blah blah."

We have all seen it before and we will see it again.


I've already said i like having the pay files for free. Why wouldn't i? It's one less thing i have to pay for. I'm not going to say that i can't believe i ever downloaded those files bla bla, i honestly can't see a reason for that.

Quote from: "DonovanCook"
Well, I've been lurking long enough and feel the need to post. I've only been playing ts1 and ts2 for about 3 years but new to the sims community. Since April I've been very involved in S2C.  Over the summer, I've seen and heard things I couldn't believe, but Lyric takes the cake. I've known about the whole file-sharing thing for months, hell, who doesn't share their files? So for her to make such a beastly spectacle of herself like that was as entertaining as stomping on big blood-filled ticks. She crashed and burned in a beautiful; public way, like Evel Knievel, but less cool. Thanks for a place to openly talk about the shit that goes on and to share files.


Elmo-GET LAID HONEY!!! I know how you need it, you sex addict you. Wink


 :shock:  :? Do i know you?

Yet again my explanation for this hasn't been read or understood. So, shut up.


It was understood, It was not accepted.

Obviously you are not against it at all. You grabbed them and therefore you agree with us. You were just trying to make yourself feel better by telling us it was wrong. When that didnt work, you then agreed with us.


Well clearly it wasn't understood. Devil's advocate. Do you not understand what that means? Here.

One who argues against a cause or position, not as a committed opponent but simply for the sake of argument or to determine the validity of the cause or position.

Get it yet? I didn't change my opinion because i wasn't winning or whatever. I explained everything clearly the whole way along, some of you seem to not get it though because you still come out with the same shit.



I understand that you are feeling for the paysite creators but not loyally supporting paysites etc and that you even openly admit you download stuff here. What you claim is that you only want us to put ourselves in their shoes. You want us to understand their situation. Well, let's say I do understand it, understand it like how YOU do. Well, like you, I'm not rich, but if I am, I would gladly pay. So because I'm not rich, and I'm sharing your point, it's alright to download the goods here, just so long I feel the pang of guilt, right? Like you Cheesy
But really, I don't get it. What are you trying to convey? What if EVERYONE did accept your view and apply to it? Which means everyone feels bad for the paysite creators, but it's alright if they  download from this "immoral" site because they still have some conscience? Sorry, but it does feel a tad hypocritical to me. What's the point of expressing an opinion when one contradicts it through one's actions? Wink Besides, there are many people who still pay for them, so I doubt this site could run the paysites out of business. Also, I'm sure most of us here know what's it like for the creators, but we choose not to make a big deal out of it. I'd rather save my empathy for more depressing situations like tsunami victims or abused animals than some people crying over "stolen" sim content.

Please don't take my opinion personally, for it's not intend to attack you. Like you as well, I'm arguing for the sake of arguing.
And no, I'm not mocking you.


That's probably the nicest post anyone has posted back so far. Thankyou for understanding, you can have a different opinion or not but still argue the point just for the sake of it.

I'm not saying everyone has to feel guilty just to be allowed to download. I just thought the way things were went about were quite rude. I accept that Pescado is just a jerk or whatever he/she called themself but i don't like rudeness. Although, i will retaliate lol.

And it truly is the Devil's Advocate.

I think you just like to argue, which is all well and good.

I'm bored of it now though.


Me too.

Yes, I got it with your first post. You are talking out both sides of your ass. You have been from the first post. I could go through each one of them and point it out but why should I. You know what you are doing.

We can argue all day long but the bottom line is, your opinion means nothing.

Lyriclee has been sharing files for forever, she downloaded the goodies here and then claims a crock of shit. You downloaded the files here and then try and take a moral high ground. Seems you two are just alike. well there is one difference. Lyriclee is to chicken shit to admitt what she did or come here and defend herself.


Nope, i'm not talking out either side of my ass. I have certain opinions on things, like thinking Lyric is a bad moderator and should relieve herself from that position but other than that most of the things i've said have been just for the sake of arguing. Fair enough i may not have conveyed that those were my reasons for posting most of the time but hey that's what happens when you post at 3 or 4am. This is a discussion forum no?

The thing that bugs me most is that you can't discuss something with someone who is sharing a different side or opinion without being a rude pig. You turn every discussion into an argument and for no reason at all. You never knew me before, never had anything against me in the first place so you had no reason to do that. Last but not least every thing i say gets brought back to LyricLee when i really don't give a shit about the whole Lyric situation. So stop being rude and let it go.
