Title: Look's like TSR did something good(ish)
Post by: FreeForMeAlso on 2007 July 31, 01:07:18
Now don't make be walk the plank, let me explain.   I was going though the TSR booty and had TSR open in another tab, and what do I find in Birgit43's blog...an update on GUID conflicts here (http://www.thesimsresource.com/subscriber/artists/Birgit43/blog/) (July 24)  and at Sasilia's  blog (http://www.thesimsresource.com/artists/Sasilia/blog/#blog_4455) (July 11).

Now weren't these two just terrible about GUID conflict in the past?  I wonder if TSR has been getting complaints and said something to those two to get them to fix their crap?  Well that's at least one good thing they can do!  :?  Not that it makes up for them being evil.

TSR probably had complaints. If the mindless sheeple aren't happy there is definitely something wrong. Well now I can get there stuff from the booty knowing that they fixed it.

FFMA your avatar is the best. I stole it and stashed it for another forum if you don't mind. :D

I don't know if fixing items that should have never been released without being tested in the first place qualifies as good or even good(ish).

I've had at least two items from TSR override original game content. After spending hours locating one of the broken items, I decided to be responsible and leave a message for the creator. Nothing was ever done.

On the other hand, when I had another item from MTS2, with a guide conflict, I also left a message for the creator. I received a thank you in return and the item had a new guide soon thereafter.

Screw TSR.

I am not trying to be mean, but I really dislike the general idea of people being praised for something they should be doing anyway.

I mean an object is pretty much useless for your game with a Guide conflict, not to mention people pay for their stuff and they get paid for creating it.  A basic principle there should be that whatever you are paying for actually works.

This info should have been posted in the TSR is a sucky ass site thread.  Nothing they do is goodish in my opinion.

It may be good that the issue is finally fixed; however, it isn't "good" if those fixed items are pay.  It's useless.

What if people were on a subscription to TSR and downloaded the glitched/conflicting files, and now their subscription has run out?  Will they have to re-subscribe to get the fixed versions?  Knowing TSR, probably.  In my opinion, the very least they can do is now offer that set for free, since it was borked in the first place.

TSR and Good do not ever belong in the same sentence unless you are saying it is "good that TSR gave up, read the ELAU, admited fault and went all free."


This should be done in the first place, people pay for this. That site has not one inch of customer service... not one. You pay for a service, you should get what you pay for.



 :twisted: I really dislike them, really. :twisted:

Seriously, though, how does any decent creator ever have a GUID conflict? I suck and I still know how to avoid that.

Er, I wanna ask a question.

I have a fireplace that has overridden one of the Maxis originals, its from reflex maybe? I don't know.
But I've found it in the catalog under appliances. Is it okay to just delete it or will that mess up the orginal maxis fireplace?
I guess what I'm asking is this:
If you find that something has done that to an original maxis object, how is the best way to correct the problem?
Do you just delete the object from it's original place as CC?
I've been afraid to do that for fear of inadvertantly messing up the maxis stuff.
Any help would be appreciated and sorry to derail the thread. I just have no clue about how to fix this and it seems like as good a place to ask as any. :)

ry, just delete the obect (recolors first) in game. It works, as it is marked as cc. Next start of the game you have the original Maxis object back!

Thank you RedLove.

Really? I didn't know you could do that. I remember I read a tute about Daisy@MTS2 (I think that is her name) that said just because you deleted doesn't mean the object will show back up. Or maybe that was for objects you accidentally deleted a maxis object. :roll: I don't remember. Anyway thanks for that info :D

Ry you're welcome :) Try just deleting the object like Gwen said then you won't have to fool with Simpe. :)

I did it with two objects and it worked. But I give no guarantees  :lol:

Thanks Gwen and RedLove.
And as for SimPE I don't even have it. :oops:
So I'm glad I didn't have to download it to fix this, because I wou;dn't have had any idea how to work it.  :P

Thanks for the tip Gwen. I can't figure out SimPe for the life of me.

I do use SimPE, but if there is any other and easier way to go...  :roll:
