Tomato, you haz another add.  

I think that the response from Thomass just shows that he is running scared - between Coconut's LJ and now the PMs from Paleo (which I haven't read yet but from what you all are saying) it seems like the entire sims community is not going to be able to avoid knowing about TSR.  How can anyone who uses any CC not know about this now?

LadyDea, I wanna swipe that icon for my avi lol.  It is perfect.

Those swimsuits are absolutely yummy, as is everything else you make.   

Can I ask a dumb HelgaSims question?  Is there an english translation there, or am I out of luck and to just blindly navigate through?  I haven't visited there much because I can't tell where I am going!!  I love that hair and did go get it, but I only have a couple of her things because I can't find my way around her site!  I feel like such a stupid pirate!   

Emma, I love your recolors and Quinctia, I love those blinds.  Great work, both of you.

soulpatrolmn, may I swipe one?  I love the "Jack the Pirate" one.   

I've noticed that their site does that every once in a while, doesn't load for a few days then suddenly its back -- and it happens like once a month at least.  It's probably nothing to get excited about yet.

That XM hair recolor looks great - as soon as I saw it I was hoping someone would recolor it.  You read my mind, I will be watching out for it at MTS2.  Ummm... any chance of doing it in a lighter, more "platinum" blonde?     I wish I knew how to recolor, I really need to learn to do that someday.  You guys are all so good.

Again, great job, I love it. 

Now see, that fountain is full of win too - and I hadn't seen that site before either!  Thanks Cala!

We do need a list of "Fantastic Free Sites" or something... I said this thread is going to kill my downloads folder.  Especially since I have finally really started playing again with a specific "style" in mind so I have to go search for stuff.  Well I know that I will be doing a lot of weeding this weekend, along with watching this thread!   

Edited to add - Cala, I should have said I don't know the BEST way to weed though my sims stuff, meaning delete from in game or what.  I don't have any "tools" to delete from outside of game and if it isn't named appropriately I don't know what it is from inside the download folders.  I do have most of my stuff in sub-folders, but some stuff is in "Misc" because I don't know what the heck it is from just the name of the package file!

You got it... I am making my rum Malibu, its the only rum I can drink without it getting to my stomach.  Just don't tell the other pirates. 

Hey, its still rum and being that its "coconut" I think its particularly appropriate, don't you think?   

This is definitely the best thread evar.  Anyone who has any doubts about paysites needs to just look at this thread.  I hadn't seen Adele's stuff either, or that awesome dining room - now my download folder is getting bloated because I can't just go get that one thing but I have to see what else that creator has done!     Or rather, it will probably get evened out because I know that having that new stuff will make me delete more of the crap to make room for more goodness.

I can't play with any hairs but Nouk's anymore (and a very few others).  I realized yesterday when I booted up my game that I always play with the same stuff, over and over.  And what I paid particular attention to is that its all stuff from free sites, because that's what looks best in the game.  I want to spend a day (or probably three lol) deleting the shit stuff that I never use to make room in my game and most likely have it run better, too.  That is going to be a major project because I am not a creator so I don't know a short quick way to do it. 

Anyways, this thread is such a great eye-opener for anyone who might be might be on the fence still.  If you can't see it by looking at this, you're blind, stupid - or you don't want to see.

Edited to make better sense I hope.  (S)

We're gonna need LOTS of rum to get through this weekend... a good supply to get through the wait for more details, and then a really hefty supply for the celebration that is probably coming.

I will place the order.  Rum, cookies, popcorn... got it.  Anything else?   

Me either, I can't have a sim house without "calabeddings"... it just ain't right!   

I used to like their TS stuff, but somehow they completely lost any talent and taste they had in the switch to TS2.  I just went and looked at their stuff again - its been a LONG time since I have been there.  That username and password still works, but I wouldn't download it for free.  Its all fugly crap.

I'll say repository too, Cala -- and I can't wait for it either!  I lurves your beddings! 

Ran off to get the Nouk hair, thank you very much!
