All I can say is wow! O.o

So does this mean that pay meshes will be allowed to be included like it always happens on the exchange???  Another thing that's funny, is that so many creators in their TOS' say don't upload to the exchange....

I'm just afraid that the quality of MTS2 of uploads are gonna go down now, but i think it's good that someone who's just starting out won't be so scared to submit...



WAIT isn't this Nouk's hair and is she claiming it as her own?!  (with a screen cap of all things of Nouk's upload? O.O)

lol.. it's an april fools prank!
Remember last year they changed the whole site and almost every download to llamas?
I steak my life on it being a joke and will be gone in a day. You can tell by the way he says that creators will embrace the exchange... and the "goodies" from the exchange are complete crap.
And the fact that the Nouk's hair is uploaded as some one else's and they just use a screen shot from MTS for the picture of the hair it proof enough it's a joke.

I have to admit it IS a good joke.  The stuff they listed on the "exchange" is just frighteningly accurate.

OT:
Recently there have been rumours that Insimenator.net was introducing a pay system for it's items. This is not true. Insimenator.net is committed to providing quality downloads for the Sims 2, free of charge. All voluntary donations are appreciated.

However, due to increased server and bandwidth costs, a special donation section for members is currently in development. Items will not be charged on a per-download basis, but a set monthly fee will enable access to the section.

The InSIMenator download compatible with the base game and University expansion only will remain in the general area of the site. All later versions will be moved to the donation section.

We will endeavor to include as much content as we can for users free of charge. No downloads will be featured as donation items without prior consent of the artists.

Until such time as the donation area opens, you can find more information about the section by following the premium membership link from the homepage.

Thank you for your support,
Insimenator.net


There it is :lol:

April Fool from MTS2

Edit: This was cute at first but now its starting to get annoying. Can't get the good stuff from all this annoying crap. Is anybody else fed up yet?

I think it's hilarious. The sims are just so amusing. They look like downloaded celebs which have been trashed ;P

I don't see why people have a problem with it really. I find it funny and everyone's like "Oh no! I hate this. It's awful!" etc. I love it :D

Yeah i'm kinda fed up to.


When i first saw the post with Nouks hair i was like WTF and then it hit me what today was.  I loved reading the comments in that thread. They were very entertaining to say the least.

The worst of these April Fools jokes has to be the edible baby - it just went a bit too far :shock:

If you think that was funny, you need to go to Google's home page and click on the link for "New! Get FREE breakthrough broadband with Google TiSP (BETA)."  My poor husband actually thought it was true *giggle*

*dies* That was great. I like Gmail's new "feature" -- "Gmail Paper"! I actually fell for that one, and I wondered why anyone would want Gmail to print and send them copies of their emails when they can just print them themselves...  :oops:

I thought the edible baby was hilarious. But maybe because I have a tendency to joke about eating fetuses. Mmm, fetus! Makes a nutritious snack!

*Edit*  I tried to look if anything was still posted, but I couldn't find anything.  Last year there was a website created (mod your llama, or something like that) where you could see the llama posts, does anyone know if there's anything like that this year?

Ah yes, the EatUsAFetus (http://img110.imageshack.us/img110/4300/mts2496142ieatsimzeatusad8.jpg).
I found it hilarious. Probably the best "Great Ideas" download that was offered.

The minute I saw that EatUsAFetus thing, I knew the Hypersensitive Humourless would be up in arms about it and that the joke would be completely ruined with religious, political and "I don't know anything about fine art or art history" posts.

Being prepared for the inevitable did not make dealing with "think of the chilllldrun!!!" posts any easier to deal with. Fer Chrissakes, go to another forum for a few hours if you can't handle a joke about pixels in a game.

*frunz go here*

No, instead of going somewhere else or recognizing that not every joke is going to strike you as being tasteful or even funny, why not stay and piss all over the forum because you are SO OFFENDED by the mere concept?

Way to ruin the fun for everyone else with a sense of humour, or the ability to shrug and move on when something isn't your cup of tea.

Because you are not simply stating your thoughts, but you have to educate all those silly and insensitive users out there! It's a mission! You'll go to heaven for this!

Meh :P.

I'll believe that when Snopes.com confirms it.

It's a bit of a racist / ignorant thing to blindly believe that other cultures are into activities our / Western culture finds horrifying. There have been a number of debunkings of baby eating, including a famous art piece that was actually a picture of someone eating food that was just shaped like a baby, and another art piece that had a staged set of photos featuring baby doll limbs.

Yep, don't believe everything you read on the Internet.

I looked up Next Magazine (where this "shocking" and "true" story originated) and came across info about it on Wikipedia (which I will admit is an equally dubious resource). The magazine seems to be a newspaper along the same lines as the Weekly World News or the National Enquirer, i.e. a very poor place to look for factual information.

Talking of baby doll limbs, when I was over in St Malo last week we (me and friends) were in a pub where there were limbs hanging from the ceiling, covering the beer handles, sticking out from the ground, and dolls' heads sitting on things...it was creepy, and made me feel ill.
