Well, YMMV, but CC was pretty essential to me and many of the people I knew back then

In the Sims1, there were nowhere near as many creators or sites in total - well not that I could see anyway.  Especially code modders.  Places like SimSlice and 8th deadly sim were more or less essential!

Well it just seems things are actually going the *wrong* way rather than the right way.  With TSR planning to make some of their content completely pay-only, they're a  big player.  It's quite a big statement.

I also feel annoyed with myself because right at the beginning I actually supported the existence of paysites, because I felt they increased the variety and richness of the total simming experience.   In Sims 1 there wasn't so much movement of creators between sites, but now TSR is becoming like a black hole sucking them in.

Anyway when a tool maker or someone and I have forgotten exactly who, wanted to make their utility available to free sites only, I was one of the voices dissuading them so they didn't in the end.   I do wish I had supported that plan now.

I feel sick...

That guy in your avatar desperately needs a makeover!  Or is that you just after you got up?

Well eventually all the best threads are killed...

I don't see why they made the non-featured stuff all free in the first place.  While no one likes paying a subscription, TSR was one of the few we I would sub to, because of the convenience of having any of the files when we wanted without waiting.   Psychologically it was wrong to make the recent change cos I now feel I am paying $6 a month for only one or two downloads a month.  While the FA's are quite good, the couple of things I have each month I *could* make for myself.

Anyway, this new move puts TSR over the threshold into being a proper pay site under the terms of PMBD - ie they now have certain content which can *only* be obtained by paying.

Oh he got another dog, did he?  Sure he's not just trained one of the rats to yap?

I don't think the OP is old enough to have a significant other, the expression seemed fairly young.  Probably referring to an online buddy.

I don't think it's that same Vampire anyway.  Not the one who used to run the Variousimmers buttocks.

So who the heck is operating the Pescado account now??!!?

His real name is Les Jenkins.  You can find other info on him if you google that name.

I've seen some fairly improper English around here...

Well it's still statistically one less paysite, which is good, and please read this knowing I wish Kira all the best as an individual with whatever is happening in her real life.

I love the avatar
