This has been an above average Sunday for dumb-asses.


necromancy is bad, but folk are instructed to search for existing threads, rather than post new ones. i'm not a dumbass. just a tad confused by the forum etiquette expectations of the board. so is it safe to assume that newbies are altogether banned from discussing topics that established members have already discussed?

forgive my excitement and overzealousness of wanting to be an active member and wanting to add my $0.02 to posts i find interesting. i guess i need to lurk more - post less. apologies... again.


You know, I agree. It's really confusing and I've been here nearly a year. Obviously, it's stupid to drag up a months old thread to say "I agree", but it might not be stupid IF there was something relevant to say. Everyone seems quite eager to bitch at someone for necromancy regardless of the content of the post.

Then if someone starts a new post, they get bitched at too. Again I'm not talking about the dumb "hi, I'm a noob where R Peggy hairZ"  but a comment that might have some merit.


Sometimes, I secretly wait for Necromancy, just because some of the older threads are more interesting, than some of the threads we have going on right now. Just like I know some secretly lie in wait for a chance to bring out new and interesting cat macros. Then again...some people like communicating with the dead. Far be it from me to judge them.  Seriously, I wouldn't consider it a dead thread, as long as someone has something interesting to add. Sometimes Necormancy is interesting. OK. I admit it. I also like looking at all the cat marco's.  :twisted:

Don't we have a member here named lollipop?


Yes. I believe she is Netseeker's friend? Or that she said she got banned from TSR when she did a search for Netseeker? Not sure.

A fashion designer? I think she's in the wrong business, unless of course she was going for the Peggy Bundy look. Those aren't even pretty. And most the clothes on her website even in the previews body parts are coming through the clothing. She doesn't even try to hide it.   :shock:

Look at the ribbon on the first dress, it doesn't even look like a ribbon, no separation. It looks like it's part of the dress like it's supposed to be  the bra area. Second dress look at the hem. The borders of the dress. Third outfit look at the holes by the lace, shall I go on? etc....etc...and those are just the obvious things. Never mind the shading or lack of shading in the natural body folds of the body. Over pleating.

I wanted to reply Hawkgirl.. but your use of the word "merchandise" really baffled me....

I was thinking that a lot of people have paid for stuff from HS and they inturn have adopted the whole "business" philosophy. That doesn't make them any less nice as people. They are just capitalists.

Is it right to profit from people who just want more options to their gameplay? An already limited array of choices due to the nature of the Sims2 engine?

I am just pointing out a few things that need to be ironed. Personally I think it's just NOT NICE AT ALL.  :evil:


I called it merchandise because we have to pay for it. Is not merchandise goods that are bought and sold? And no I don't think it's right to have to pay for it. I don't think anyone should pay for it. However, I am one of the people that has paid for CC before. I probably would have continued as well, but several things happened. Not going into that big long story again, but has nothing to do with me. I have no bad luck story, no paysite owner has ever treated me badly. I've never been banned, etc. I think we need to refer to their stuff as merchandise which is the correct term. Not donation pack. Maybe they'd realize they are indeed business owners, and as business owners they must follow the same laws other business owners must follow. They can't have their cake and eat it too. With, I'll just make CC and sell it, call it a donation pack and then I don't have to worry about the consumer protection laws. I think not. They want to treat people as customers, that makes them business owners. Which means we need to find out if they are paying business taxes. Have business licenses. Have licensing agreements for what they are selling, give refunds, fix broken merchandise, etc...etc.

Maybe it's just me, but I've found the orphan scan absolutely useless.  I guess I've been lucky enough to avoid having many orphans but, of the forty or so results I get on an orphan scan (with over 9000 files in my downloads), every immediately recognizable name is something I have in my game that I like and know works.


I, too, have found the orphan scan useless. I still stick with Clean Installer and it does the trick for me. It helps that I can now read the file names and usually know what is what.


Oh my gosh first time I used the orphan scanner it told me I had over 600 orphan files, I said delete all and had to go do everything again. Then, I tried it again after the update, where it put things in the recycle bin instead of just getting rid of them. Same problems. I ended up restoring almost all the files, so said no more. I'll just use clean installer. I'm with you on this.

My hatelist is as follows.

1)Carla Niven Her shit is SOOOOO Ugly.
2)Peggy Her stuff is also ugly.
3)TSR I wonder why lol

ps. is amel the same person who contributes to www.simsconnection.com and I why does everyone hate simslice. I know its a rip off but at leat they have ok. stuff, unlike some other site


I've never downloaded from Carla Niven, anything. Only reason I donated to Peggy once, was when I had Sims 1 I never downloaded any CC even from the website. So when I had a look at the Sims 2 websites, I saw a hair I really liked that wasn't in the game. I thought what the heck. Anyway, I had downloaded one of her hairs off the exchange. When I went to her site, I thought I had gotten it illegally because it was in the pay section, so I went and paid her for a month so I could have that hair. Then I found out the hair went through her back like a sword or through her chest when she turned her head. I found TSR from the exchange also at the same time, so I did a six month subscription to them. Which only lasted a couple weeks and I was ready to say I don't need any CC then I found MTS2. I'm being serious, too. I downloaded clothes the insides of the legs came out when they sat down. Some wings that looked just plain retarded. Some hair that looked like someone cut it out of a magazine so it looked pasted on the Sim's head. All smudged and blurry. I deleted it all, including my download folder and said screw this. But I do still use Simslices rejuvinator in all my houses. I think I have their star trek uniforms also. So guess it wasn't all bad when I first discovered CC. Wink

So treat them the same. There is no idea here that TSR, Peggy or Rose is somehow "worse"


This stuck out to me because I agree with it 100%. I know some people love Holy Smoly or Numero or ATS but I think all paysites should be treated the same.  :evil: I hate 'em all!  :lol:


Many of us have said we love HS, ATS2, and Num...doesn't mean we don't think their stuff should be in the booty. I even wrote to Numenor and told him, I'm sorry, but I agree with all the reason's his tanning bed has to remain in the booty. Surprise he agreed with all the reasons too. He just doesn't agree with the reason's themselves. lol Just because they're a paysite doesn't mean they don't have quality merchandise, or that the owners aren't nice people.

i have a pc - so does that mean there's hope for me? i didn't know an "integrated" graphic card was a bad. i'm truly ignorant to all of this. can u suggest an appropriate graphic card?

*nm* i just reread your post. i guess it's safe to assume i need a graphic card that has it's own memory. and it shouldn't be integrated. i'll figure it out. thank you guys SO MUCH.


I have an HP, I ran it clear up and into Season's with a built in Intel Graphics card. Never had a problem. Only thing I had to do was add  pixel shader true into my cheat. Intel's built in graphic card can handle pixel shader 2/bump maps with no problem. In fact the guys at Best Buy thought I was nuts for wanting to change it out/add a graphic card. They said are you having problems with your games? I said no, it runs all my games great. No crashing, nothing. They said you know you already 512 onboard? I said yes. He said then if your not having problems you have over 2 gigs your adding into the game, why are you purposely looking to give yourself problems? I said I don't know. lol Oh and I had over 200 Sims in just one neighborhood, with over 2,000 character files also and never ran slow, hung, nothing.

Hello!
I am the Owner of the Project and i would like to comment your posts, sure i dont get your affliance or trust - but thats another theme - i only want to comment yor posts because some of them are not right ...

Moreover the second projectowner have contact you circa 2 month ago and asked if you would like to be so nice and do not upload our files to your booty - the answer was that you dont wanna post our file, you only want to post payfiles if the money is going for the personallity life or something like this ... of course you thought that the donations are for my personallity life but im sure you will have this opinion at every payfile ...


Quote from: "Requip"
She's posted how much they've collected so far with a list via paypal.  :roll: So ....................where is the information that she's forwarded the money collected on to the charities?  :wink:

http://freenet-homepage.de/bluesea/


We will show you our donation to the organisation as soon as we got the paypalimfornation from the organisations! wait a short time and you will see that the money is going to the organisations!
Of course we can donate at another way but it will be the easiest and best way to donate over paypal!

Quote from: "Hecubus"
Quote from: "calalily"

Notice too, that the price has been hiked. Now 3 euro instead of 1 euro.


That's probably because they realized that one euro just about covers the Paypal fees and doesn't leave anything for anyone else.


absolutely right, as you can see if we got a donation of 1,00€ we received 63 Cent - of course every Donation is great but we would like to be helpfully! Moreover it was the Rule to donate a Minimum of 3,00€ ...

Has anybody some Questions else?


If you really wanted to help these charities, you would send them to do the donations at the charities you support. You can even make a link that lets the charity know they came via your website. Then you both, you and the donator get credit from the charity. Which helps you both on your taxes. You could have them make the donation to the charity, send you the confirmation. Then, send them the gift. I mean is it more important for you to feel important by passing the money over to the charity yourself, so you can feel good about yourself? Or is more important to actually help the charity? They have to wait till you do the donations to use the money, if the people go and donate right away, even if you make it so they donate in your name or your website. They have the money right away and can put it to go use right there and then, instead of waiting. They can't get a tax credit if they donate to you and you donate to the charity, which by the way you are supposed to have "Posted" on your webpage, the fact that they cannot claim it as a charitible contribution if they donate through your website. I see nowhere on your website. Like they can if they donate directly to the charity. It will help your customers to also feel confident they are giving to a worthy cause, and not to line your pockets.

Das finde ich auch eine gute Idee. Das Spenden direkt per Paypal wird eh nicht zu verwirklichen sein - ich habe mit dem WWF, Unicef, Greenpeace und dem BUND telefoniert, und keiner hat ein Paypal-Konto. Die meisten wußten nicht mal, was das ist, und alle waren der Meinung , das sie das nicht machen würden wegen der zusätzlichen Gebühren. Allerdings war ich der Meinung, dass ich irgendwo mal bei Paypal gelesen habe, dass gemeinnützige Organisationen keine Gebühren zahlen müssen. Das scheinen die aber nicht zu wissen bzw. es besteht kein Interesse . Wie werden wohl leider per Überweisung spenden müssen, dann eine Spendenquittung anfordern und die dann online stellen müssen. Am besten vermutlich lückenlos, also Paypal Ausgang aufs Konto - Kontoauszug von der Überweisung - Spendenquittung *seufz*. Sonst heisst es wahrscheinlich eh wieder, wir würden betrügen. Ein paar Leute haben auch bemängelt, dass sie nicht mitentscheiden können, an wen gespendet wird. Vielleicht sollte man vorher festlegen, an wen die Spende gehen soll und das dann auf der Seite ankündigen. Wenn man dann einen Betrag zusammen hat, der hoch genug zum Spenden ist, kann man dann ja nach der Überweisung wechseln und das dann wieder ankündigen. Dann weiß jeder Bescheid, an wen das Geld geht.
__________________ Zitat finish Julsfels



Irgend wie erschließt sich mir nicht der Sinn einer derartigen "Spendenaktion auf Krampf." Was oder wer hindert Bluesea und Julsfels wem auch immer eine Spende zukommen zu lassen? So wie es jeder Mensch tut, der das vorhat. Geld überweisen, Spendenquittung bekommen, fertig. Für mich sieht das nicht nach einer uneigennützigen Spende aus. Es ist ganz offensichtlich, dass hier alles getan wird, um über Organisationen wie Unicef und WWF eine schöne, satte Werbung zu bekommen, ohne dafür selbst einen Cent einzusetzen. Im Zusammenhang mit diesen Organisationen gesehen einfach nur unschön. Denn was verkauft wird, sind Dinge die weder Bluesea noch Julsfeld noch den anderen Erstellern gehören, es ist und bleibt Eigentum von EA. Man setzt keinen eigenen Cent ein , kassiert von anderen das Geld und spielt gegenüber den Organisationen den großzügigen Maxen und ganz nebenbei bleiben die Websiten im Gespräch. So etwas auf dem Rücken von Hilfsorganisationen auszutragen ist einfach nur abartig und zeigt einmal mehr, von welcher Mentalität und Moral ein Teil der Leute ist, die sich in der Simswelt bewegen. Bemerkenswert dabei, dass auch das Simforum mit von der Partie ist, wie auf der Website von Bluesea deutlich hervorgeht. Werbung, Ruhm, Bekanntheit auf dem Rücken von Hilfsorganisationen, ohne einen Finger zu rühren, ohne einen Cent zu spenden. Noch schlimmer geht nimmer. Eine schmutzige Geschichte, wie das ganze Verhalten zum Thema Pay und die Einstellung in diesem Forum zu den Lizenzbestimmungen, zu Rechten und Gesetzen und der Haltung, dass alles erlaubt ist, solange es dem Forum und einigen Erstellern nützt und die Vermarktung ankurbelt.


You might also want to add in, they may not accept paypal, but they do accept debit/mastercard/visa cards from around the world. They also allow you to pay through your checking account from around the world, which you also have to have to have a paypal account. My membership fees come directly out of my checking account. The same as paypal uses, without the extra charges.

They can also go here:
http://www.networkforgood.org/

Which allows them to donate to over 25,000 charities, through paypal including the ones mentioned and doesn't withhold the paypal funds from the charities. When they needed emergency relief for the people that were hit with the tsunami, I went here and donated to over 20 charities at one time to help out. I did it that way because I knew they worked in different area's. So I knew it would get more help quicker to the people. I did the same thing when the hurricane hit New Orlean's and surrounding regions.

I don't know where your getting I am harping on the EULA?? I have said OVER and OVER again the EULA is just the middle piece of the puzzle. Nohead is the one that brought up the EULA.

No it wasn't me who brought it up, Lorelei started and got nods from deathtotsr and a confirmation from Not-Apsalar that TSR was indeed breaking  Swedish law and to me it looked like they meant the EULA. Maybe i got that wrong.

I'm still a little curious, who do you think would have a case against the paysites?
If EA was interested in taking that course then they might have some grounds, but it doesn't look like they are particularity interested in that.


I'm sorry. I thought you had brought it up. But, please don't be patronizing. You know what I am talking about. You don't need a list of reason's outside of EA. Your much more intelligent than that.

I didn't get that Netseeker was looking to be paid at all, just doing a comparison for kudo's verses being paid. Which you can actually see. I am so thankful I never got caught up in that mess. That I left after just a couple weeks of being there. Netseeker, you could also call EA, ask to speak to the legal dept, and tell them you have some evidence files they might be interested in seeing. But, don't be too surprised if they already know about this thread. They seem to know a lot of what we do and say here. lol


Sorry I missed this earlier in the thread, was just re-reading the thread now and noticed what you said here.

One thing I think this site is overlooking is that EA games or Maxis (whichever - because they're one & the same now) is in cahoots with TSR. It should be obvious to you that they are. I mean why else would Steve Bonham keep getting invited to their headquarters for the scoop on the new games and expansion packs if they weren't? You don't see Delphy getting invited there, nor Quaxi, nor Numenor nor anyone else in the free community, do you? Or at least I haven't heard of any of them being invited so far.  Why don't they invite Delphy and give him the scoop on something if they're so against TSR making money on their product and opt instead to help out the other guy who's just doing it because he likes their product like Delphy?

You know years ago when home computers first came on the scene, I & my husband had a users group and companies helped the users groups out a lot by giving them free software and equipment. Heck I even had an engineer from Western Digital come over to my house to adjust the CMOS on my computer to accept the first IDE drives on the market - which he did for free - because Western Digital gave me the IDE drive but it didn't work. We had a user group and it was free and we didn't make any money on anything and when we talked about computer hardware or software we voiced our honest opinions of them. Even still the software and hardware companies had no problems whatsoever not only giving us the material but also the support.  So if big companies can and did do things like that for small user groups, why is it Maxis/EA can't do something like that for the smaller free sites that support their game? They don't and the only reasons why I can see they don't is either because it might hurt their interest (yes they may have some kind of intellectual or financial interest)  or can't be bothered because they think it may hurt them too if they were to bring TSR down. (Either as a backlash in the community for having brought them down, or a dwindling user base because now there's less content in the community).  So why would they care/worry about what happened to me on TSR if they don't even seem to care that TSR is contravening their own license agreements?

But what they may not understand is that by giving a little support here and there (maybe based on capacity and size of the site) to the free sites out there and more support (financial and invitations to get the scoops) to the bigger sites like Delphy's is that if they did that, there wouldn't be a backlash in the community, nor would there be a dwindling user base, because now there are plenty of places available for everyone to post their work without all the headaches of financing these things all by the users selves. I know they will say they tried to provide a place with the exchange, but for the community at large that's not good enough - for one thing it's base of downloads is too narrow (sims, and lots only) and for other it's near impossible to find even specific EA content on there let alone a specific user's stuff who isn't a part of the EA staff. So if they want to keep the exchange still they can but if not they can abolish it and start to fund the other free sites out there and keep them operational - or better yet not fund them but provide free server space for these sites (that way there's no accusations of misuse of funds going around the community on account of that).  There's ways to take TSR down and still maintain their image in the community, if they really wanted to. Thing is it doesn't appear that they really want to, or it'd have been done long ago.

I'm sorry to say but harping on the EULA isn't going to get you anywhere, you have to go after them for all the other infringements they've done and that's where that Swedish gov't link the other user provided is very valuable. Not to mention all the  companies who's copyright images appear on content on TSR's site.

And as an after-thought.... See what a little support can do? Years later (I'm talking about 20 years later now) I'm still citing what Western Digital did - that's called the best advertising you can get in sales, - word of mouth and goodwill. That one little act that they did 20 years ago still allows me to promote them today (okay before now it's been only to people I've actually met in real life, but now I'm endorsing them and how they behaved with us to the whole internet). Maybe EA/Maxis could stand to take lessons from Western Digital in that department of showing goodwill and support to those who are promoting and using their products.


I don't know where your getting I am harping on the EULA?? I have said OVER and OVER again the EULA is just the middle piece of the puzzle. Nohead is the one that brought up the EULA. For me the EULA is just a tiny part of this battle. It can be challenged. Some of the other crap going on a judge would throw the book at plenty of these paysites for.

In fact I said.
Copied and Pasted:
They always want to concentrate on one area the EULA. So that is what we have to argue with them. What was the first thing Nohead said, when it came to what laws are they breaking? Oh I thought it had to do with the EULA. That's like holding the middle piece of the puzzle, and unable to find all the other pieces. The EULA is the center, or core. There are many branches off of it. I personally think it's because as long as they think of it in terms of a company, they don't have to look at the human side of it. Makes it a little easier to sleep at night.

Also I don't know where your getting that only Thomas is invited to the shows? Delphy has been invited to plenty, except this last one and we all know why. There are also other fansites that are invited to the private shows, as well as private citizens. I have no website and I get invited to the private shows. I just went to one, we all could have gone. I get invited to all the shows here in CA. I will guarantee you, Thomas is NOT in cahoots with EA. With some of the Maxis employee's, probably. But not with EA. He has done more to make enemies at EA then he ever did to influence friends. And I think this little community they started has sent it all over the edge. Why would EA want to associate themselves with someone that harms EA?

lol, I know! I mentioned a "big name", I knew the thread meant names that are generally known to a LOT of people.  That's why I mentioned Windkeeper, and maybe someone else. I don't remember.

HawkGirl - lol aww, I'm sorry! But I was just stating the truth!  Or can you not handle the truth :shock: I'm just kidding, heh.  Which hair are you talking about, though?  The "Final Fantasy" hair means absolutely nothing to me since I don't follow that stuff, nor do I really look at Rose's stuff or keep track of what she has.  Is it a free hair?  I thought normally her character hairs are put in the free section.


It's the Rikku hair on page 17. The last one. I really like that hair for teens.

http://www.rosesims.org/hair/rosehair_17.htm

Oh and PS yes it is a free hair. The Japanese/Chinese hair I was talking about is the first one on that page.

I agree. I did a donate for all with Rose when I was doing my paying. lol Anyway, I wasn't happy with a lot of her hair, although a couple of her newer hairs are really nice. She does have some nice accessories you can't find anyplace else. Peggy's hair is horrible, I don't understand why she won't animate it or make the corrections needed. Nothing like seeing hair fold, become a sword and stab your poor sim through the chest or back. Some of that is Maxi's fault though. They should have made hair so it was the top layer on everything. Then it wouldn't disappear under some clothing, skin, etc...


Yup they should have done that, and fix the issue with longer hair "scrunching" when a Sim turns their head.

BUT - while Rose's newer hairs might look nicer (and ok at least they're now animated, and better than peggy's), they still have gaps (both front and back/side near the ears).  She might start paying more attention to that now to make more money, especially since she's now offering people her special time-limited offer of fixed hair for only $6  :roll:

Anyway, I would only consider things like Peggy, Rose, TSR "big names" of the kind of BAD that is in the Sims 2 community.

For me, the "big names" are those who create awesome stuff and share freely.  For some reason, I don't really download too much from what most people consider to be "big names".  I have weird taste and so I download according to what looks good to me, rather than who made it.


Now come on Renegade you know good ole Rosie is making better hairs now. I got the Renegade Fix lol So your finding errors on the new Japanese/Chinese hair and the Final Fantasy hair? Maybe I'm just comparing them to other hairs and they are 100 percent better than those. Dang, now I'm gonna be looking for the gaps and I'm using that Final Fantasy hair on one of my teens. Couldn't ya just let me have my fantasy of much better till she was an adult? Wink Please tell me you plan on fixing that one sometime in the future? I really like that one for the teens.

OK. First of all, these are DONATION sets. She provided proof that a donation had been made. Therefore, there is absoloutely NO REASON that she would not be entitled to getting that set for free now. IF indeed it was a donation set, and not a SALE.

Where in the world would "getting scammed" come into this scenario? It is not like a SALE would be involved, would it? It is a fucking DONATION set. No scams possible. Gah.  :evil:



Hehehehe Ok that is me cackling like a chicken, give me a few moments and I'll be snorting like a pig. Awww I adore you! I'm just thankful the coffee was on the desk not in my mouth when I read this.

Quote from: "Meganne"
First I need to admit: I'm biased. I like Holy Simoly, ATS, Numenor and I donated to them AFTER finding their "donation" packs in the booty. I even did the same with Lianaa (that I dislike as FA) because I like the fact she 'frees" one of her packs every time she releases a new one. I would like to be as adamant as others here. I just can't and I make distinctions. TSR, Peggy, Rose are evil. HS, ATS I wish they would become free so I could happily donate to them without feeling weird.


I like HS, and I adore Numenor. So I have donated to both. I didn't know about ATS2 till I started coming here. I'd also donate to her/them if I were still paying for things. But, I won't donate now. They always try to fix things, give refunds, etc...they may question. But, they do the right thing in the end. I'm with you I wish they'd go free also, so I could show appreciation without feeling like I'm betraying the people that can't afford the donation. I don't understand why Num just doesn't  have a donation button and link to it, he'd get plenty. After all he's done for the community, he shouldn't feel the need to give something special to those willing to donate to him. Free the donation file Num!! You can do it. Wink

lol Thomas isn't a robot. He's also not a bad man, people forget who they are, when it comes to money.


I see him as a bad man. Anyone who treats people the way he does and sends spies to sneak around to see what everyone else who isn't petting him are talking about is a complete viper.

If money is the root of all evil then Thomas is evil by association.


Now, now. I'm willing to bet if you took away TSR from him, you'd find he's not evil. Remember the Sims1 days? Steve and Thomas were not bad men, or evil. It wasn't till they figured out they could make money off it they they got the way they are now. Even when they first became a paysite they used to make sure everything was cycled out, so even those that couldn't afford it, got the pay things. They could have blown MTS2 out of the water with all the members they had, if they had just done what they asked Will. Asked for donations. Monthly donators. Most the problems they have over there, that they need these spies for? They have done to themselves. Not us, not Delphy, Them. Like now? What did Thomas think would happen joining that Save the Sims community? He saw what was going on over there and he joined anyway. I prefer to think of it more than evil, as they lost their flippin minds. lol
