I can't believe she makes a living out of this. And I can't believe people let her make a living out of this by buying her crap!
I'm sorry, but it makes me so angry. Just work like everybody else, lazy bitch!

I feel better now. ;D

Why is the space between the upper lip and tip of the nose so small? Makes the sim look even funnier than it already should. And somewhere, maybe from Peggy, I've seen a hair similar to that in Sims 2. Could she be converting her crap from one game to another? Oh God, the horror, THE HORROR!! *runs screaming from the thread*

I've downloaded the free male hair and one of the free female hairs to see what they look like in game. But their files sizes are large, much like the store hair files. The male hair was 7.4Mbs, and the female hair I got was 4.6Mbs.

Haha, I am a huge fan of hating pay sites, and I'm even more miffed she's continuing on with the scheme. :( But I still like the hairs, sometimes. I'm such a hypocrite. And so I went to check the Booty List and saw that now there's a TS3 directory.

Thanks to anyone and everyone for being completely awesome and destroying (just a little) these awful pay sites and putting their downloads here for free. :o Can't wait for more.

EDIT:

That was quick. Much love. :P

The male hair showed up fine, after I found it. Because of how CC is I really had to look for it, but it was there. It actually showed up in the middle of the store hair, so I think the game could sense it was custom hair, so it put it with the rest of the custom hairs. The female hair I got didn't show up. I'm going to download it again, and get the other free hair to see if they work.

I can't wait for more people, free people, do this. Hair is very lacking, especially for guys. After hair I can't wait to see new clothing and objects.  :)

This does not encourage me to TS3. Not one little bit. Here's hoping she can't do any better than that. Then she can destroy herself and save us the bother.

From what I've seen (and played for myself, since I wanted to see the horrors of this game in action) a lot of Sims 3 sims have way too small a space between their mouth and nose. :( The nose height slider just doesn't work very well.

Horrible hair indeed, I agree! I dearly hope there's no way Peggy has plans to make her other ridiclous hairs for Sims 3. This one looks like one of my most unfavorite Rose hairs with the odd sort-of flippy effect at the ends.

Oh and if anyone wants to Arrrr them and hasn't been following the thread at MATY MistyK put them up here (http://www.mediafire.com/?sharekey=ab4f7dc872c7b3cd84705bab38b2d739e2897573abeae911)

However Delphy notes: "As I posted on MTS, she's done it *extremely* amatuerishly, too.  Just the basics, to get it to show in game but she's left a whole heap of linkages back to the store hair still." so use at your own risk!

Kenmtl, do you have any of the store hairs in your game?

Post by: Missbonbon on 2009 July 19, 03:21:45
That hair that Ken has I believe was her earlier version that just replaced the mohawk. Apparently it worked "fine" in CAS for a lot of users, but once in the real game it caused many games to crash. I think I read somewhere that the sims 3 operates on very low polys, and anything of very high poly will cause your game to crash. But don't quote me on that because I could have been dream simming.  ;) The hairs that Delphy was referring to are her newer pay hairs. I personally haven't tried them out but if I understand correctly her hair won't work unless you have the corresponding store hairs. Which would make sense since already a couple of the GOSlings are having issues with her hairs.

I was reading on the creator forums on how close Delphy/HP are to actually having stand alone meshes, and that apparently Delphy has some sort of "tool" to run the hair meshes through. I can't wait for HP to start converting some Nouky goodness! I needs me some neena tails!  :'(

Not just close - doing it successfully.

 I'm currently working on converting one of Nouk's male hairs (the Sport short hair) for all ages.  Possibly also for females too because it looks pretty cute on them (though still needs some fixing up) (http://www.modyourpanties.com/images/090718221452-onthegirlies.jpg).  I've also got my Cherub hair about 60% converted (the remaining 40% is the shitty horrible part that I hate - control maps, how I LOATHE YOU). 

Part of this is putting D's tool through its paces and finding the bugs and working out its kinks.. 

I'll be concentrating on decent male hair out of mine and Nouk's catalogs at first, since I have a feeling TS3 male hairs will be the same My Little Pony WTFery we had for TS2, but after I get the hang of it and have it down to a science, I'll start plugging forward on more of Nouk's pretty hairs like the dreads and fluffy ponytails and whatnot.

@Ken: My bad, I assumed it was yours and didn't read very well. I should have known better that you would not commit suicide to your game by putting that hair in there. My apologies.  :-*

Missbonbon - Eventually, yes, once I get the hang of doing it myself reliably.  It's really -not- easy though.  Part a science but a lot of it is still an art.  A tedious, masochistic, "god I hate meshing so fucking much" art.  It'll probably be more a tiptorial than a tutorial, geared toward folks who already do some meshing but just want the rough parts explained.  And won't be coming super soon though I may post a real basic summary when D posts up his tool.  Hard to find enough time to work on the meshes themselves these days let alone teach others how, but I'll try.  :)

He's said there really isn't much he can do. :( I mean she's in China so not like EA or US lawyers or anyone have any jurisdiction there. You'd have better luck anonymously tipping off the Chinese government that she's using her internet profits to fund the Falun Gong. :P

Ugh, so TSR had to put their two cents in too? I'm sure they're just pissed off that someone else beat them to the punch putting out the first TS3 pay item.  ::)

Paden, don't forget that Peggy's chinese and the notion of 'perfect propotions' beauty differs in the world. That's why her heads are generally round with pointy chin, bigger eyes and higher mouth.

I saw Peggy's hairs topic at MATY. These hairs don't seem to crash the game since they don't replace actual hairs. BUT they're only alpha-edits of store hairs and Delphy supposes that her hairs may not work correctly if you don't have the store hairs she used installed in your game. Plus they don't have the elder part. That girl hates elders ^^
I'm pissed off. That bitch blatantly used a free tool with an anti-pay tos to make pay hairs. *prepares torches and pitchforks*

I've downloaded the free male hair and one of the free female hairs to see what they look like in game. But their files sizes are large, much like the store hair files. The male hair was 7.4Mbs, and the female hair I got was 4.6Mbs.

I also noticed that her hair files are huge, but running them through the compressor got them to about 1/3 of their original file size.

What happened to this place? Three goddamn years ago, had Peggy done this, she would have gotten so many letters about what she is doing, calling her a cunt, flaming her for using a free creator's tools to make pay stuff, that her email would have crashed. Does no one give a flying fuck at a rolling donut that a free tool maker has been disrespected? Or does all anyone care about have to do with getting the custom content for free?

What happened to the fire, the passion? What happened to the moral outrage of people being ripped off just so some stupid slut pretending to be totally ignorant of the conventions of respect and copyright could make a damn buck out of people that don't have a clue about what's going on? What happened to reaching out with a message? Or is it all about letting them so what they want and then just taking their work and getting it free from the Booty any more? If so, I'm sad. Sad, sad panda. We used to get so on fire to stop this kind of garbage from happening, but now all we do is sit back, make popcorn and watch the drama unfold while someone gets screwed over.

What's this shit with TSR? Are they just sitting back and letting everyone else do all the work for developing tools for this new shiny game? Will they then take said tools and make a profit off of the work of others? Why is this even being allowed? I don't get it and I don't think that I ever will. I just don't understand any more, I guess. Had this kind of shit happened, people would have been standing on the rooftops, ready to lynch some lying bitch for ripping off the masses. Now, all people can do is yawn and wonder when and where they can get the content for free.

Maybe I'm wrong, I don't know. Maybe the fire has died down. But you'd think, this being a new arena to carry the fight against paysites forward, that the free tool creators would be supported a lot more vociferously than I see going on in this thread. Even though this isn't my game, not something that I play, I hate seeing this done to WesH, he's worked his ass off to make this only to have some greedy pixel whore steal what he's done and make a profit off of it. What next? Delphy gets ripped off? Pescado? Where is it going to stop, especially now that Thomass is poking his nose out and taking soundings to see just how safe the waters are for him, the rotten bottom feeder?

If Peggy gets away with this, TSR may just go full steam ahead and release a shit load of stuff as soon as they can get their greedy mitts on these tools. We've already seen the flip-flopping going on about stuff over there: is it pay or is it free? One hour you have to pay, the next it's free. Usually after someone over here says something about it. If nothing is said or done about this, if no word gets out to the whole Sims 3 community about what has been done to the developer of a free tool that actually works, the flood gates will be opened and nothing is going to halt the force of the paysite assholes crashing out of those gates to turn a profit.

If that's the case, then I don't know if I really want to be around. Maybe I'm old and tired, I don't know. I've been active on the net and in real life about getting the word out about paysites being the evil and it could be that it's time to take a break and fade into the wood work. The lack of response in regards to what is going on just makes me shake my head in disbelief at the seeming apathy which seems to be the overwhelming response. Where is the desire for justice, for equity, and the desire to have one's work respected? Did it fade out in the excitement of the new shiny?

I've only seen a few people saying that they are upset by this, Dr. House being a great example of how this honestly pisses her off. Others seem to shrug it off and say, "Meh, it's only Peggy, big deal." It is a big deal. One gets away with it and others will follow. I know that plenty of people will see my name on this post and skip over it, because I have read the comments that say they never read what I post any more. Fine, so be it. But, at least I had something to say and did say it. At least I still care about the free creators getting ripped off and fucked over, although I seem to be in a minority. A rapidly shrinking minority.

Won't download them- won't use them- Peggy your hairs are a disgrace- you make every single person who has been working their asses off to get CC for this game up and running look bad with your half assed work using tools that you are not allowed to use to create CC either by the EULA's implemented by the tools creators- or the EA EULA itself- you and Thomass really need to get it through your overly rock filled skulls that selling shit that belongs to someone else (EA) is called stealing- fencing hot property etc- taking someone elses idea - altering it a bit by removing the headband adding curls  or adding a barette (yes your hairs that closely resemble the store hairs/base game hairs you based them on) does not mean you own it- ( After all King James translated the Bible into  English - that does not mean in todays' world he would have intellectual property rights over it- the people who wrote the original books of the Bible would legally hold intellectual copyright)

 And lets be realistic here- if I want ugly overpriced stuff for my TS3 game- same attitude as my TS2 game- I will buy it at the EA Store  at least I am supporting the U.S economy by buying from the EA Store and they designed the game and own the rights to it- and they charge .75 cents for a hair not 4 dollars  You don't- you should be apologizing to WesH for using his tools without permission to create stuff especially since you don't even credit him-  when you don't credit the /programmer/modder/ creator -  it is theft - and that is only if their TOU allows YOU as a paysite owner to use their stuff- if they say no and you use it anyways  it is still THEFT.  WesH said no so you are a thief (given paysites are still technically illegal according to U.S copyright law if not international copyright law - no matter what the EULA currently says you are also a thief for charging  for EA's stuff ) You as one of the most loudest voices in the " Wahhh you used my fugly shit without crediting me Wahh Wahh Wahh!!"tantrums being thrown by paysite owners  like Rose Thomass etc should already understand this- and even TSR  creators at least credit Pete and Inge for Simpe and WesH for his TS2 Plugins - even if it still goes against to programs EULA for them to make shit and then sell it .

Thomass- according to U.S copyright law- something you clearly know nothing about- the only one with a Copyright over CC is EA Games- especially given that you STILL have THIEVES like Shakeshaft on staff - you have no moral or ethical foot to stand on buddy - given how many meshes some of your creators have downright stolen, and how many meshes and recolors or other creators meshes have been posted on your paysite against their express wishes that their stuff and recolors of their stuff NOT be posted on your PAYSITE!!!-  And don't say you are not responsible- you and your brothers own and manage the site so even if you had no prior knowledge of theft - you are responsible according to all basic business ethics concepts .Hell you don't even have a moral or ethical toenail to stand on so take your self-righteous prattle and shove it where the sun doesn't shine.


Honestly I am not that anxious for new hair - I prefer to wait for the good content to come out- Nouks/HP's etc - until then I have my lovely hair texture replacements by Ja at GOS .

Paden, it is not a surprise that someone would do this but it hardly means we are not outraged - personally I am furious over it, and I will admit that you saying that we know longer cares does annoy me. I do not have TS3, and do not intend to (they are too pudding for me), but still see the free community creating the tools and getting fucked over for it. Peggy does not play the game, she just creates products and sells them, and TS3 is another arena for her to do this in. And that line from Thomas that Pescado quoted a page back, well, I can hardly begin commenting on it.. 

As Wes has property rights over his tool then he can likely do something about this..I have not read anywhere where he has said what he is going to do so that is still up in the air. Likely an email from him would be more effective then flaming ones...discussions have greater effects then bashings. As a community, I say boycott - we should not allow this to happen.

Like that has ever mattered to her?  What can you do about it? Complain to EA?  We could boycott her site. *But, I thought we already did that*  Realistically though what would be a good plan?  It's not right, but...

Little I can do. It's not like I am reaping a profit from selling the plugins to fund a legal department.

But it isn't right. I spent a *lot* of time getting these developed (with some help from my friends), and wrote the spec that is on the wiki for anyone. And I have been very clear about the terms of use. I shouldn't care, but it is irritating that she is leveraging my free tool for her profit.

There is now a blender script for exporting GEOM meshes now, she could use that. Or pay someone to write a tool from the spec; at least TSR has chosen to try that route. Or she could just post the meshes in a separate, freely redistributable package and sell the textures.

And I too am outraged over it, although I also have to admit I am hardly surprised about it.

Padens, it's due to the forum changes. It must have all started with the topic that basically said "Be less mean!" that was adressed to all the members 'cause we were frightening outsiders and our anti-paysites message wasn't passing correctly. And the changes accelerated the last couple of months since a lot of old members are disappearing. Whenever we get a bit harsh with a troll we get hitten hard on the hand with a ruler by other members. The cohesion against the ennemy faded away. Even you got censored: you used a few 'dirty' words and zam! you got a 'pottymouth' special title. Clearly the only passion/rage that are allowed now are fights between members and that's the kind of fights I deeply loathe since I'm pro-cohesion. So why would we get all raging and rumbling?! To be virtually slapped for being oh so meanies? Nope. So we're all soooo nice now... The fire didn't die from itself but was slowly dozed off. I'm not saying the changes aren't good (see how prudent I am now?! Silly eh) but you cannot have both. And don't anyone quote me on my post, I won't go in a fight to explain myself and won't answer ya. I have the right to have an opinion based on what happened here. All this sounds terribly rude but it's not, really. :-X

Yes sadly Wes said on mts & MATY that there's nothing he can do. Someone with the skills should hack and melt that bitch's site. I wish I knew how to do that or how to program a bot to drown her mailbox with millions of hate mails >:( T$R will make all its Sims3 stuff pay because of that nasty bitch.

Paden, it's not that the fire is gone, it's the resignation. Look at it this way. The fights been going on for years, and for years we've been spitting brimestone over ever little thing - yes, I'll say we, because even though I'm a bit fresh here, I've been getting pissed off at paysites since I discovered they exist. And what has that brought? What is the effect? Sure, a few paysites did go down, but which of them was the real ass sore like Peggy or TSR? The ones that lead the paysites army and shine examples to the other greedy twats are still fine and running, pretty much shitting on us and what we say. And you know why? Because we play fair and thus we can't do anything to really hurt them.

This makes me recall a quote from a good, old classic movie "Cobra" with Sylvester Stallone. I can't remember the words exactly, but at some point, one of "Marion's" superior officers said something like: "We're the police, we follow the rules." and Cobretti answered "Well then we've already lost, because the crooks don't follow any rules." I can't find anything more adequate to our present situation than that. Paysiters won't stop, because they don't respect the oposition, and also they're the type that don't respect anything, unless they're afraid of it.

Another quote from a film, this time the quite crappy "Chronicles of Riddick", however sounding quite adequate to me: "Sometimes you can't fight evil with good. Sometimes you have to fight evil with another kind of evil."

If anyone cares to hear my opinion on this, then I say it's time to stop playing politics Pirates, it's time to see this is bloody war.

Padens, it's due to the forum changes. It must have all started with the topic that basically said "Be less mean!" that was addressed to all the members 'cause we were frightening outsiders and our anti-paysites message wasn't passing correctly.

Really? Well I guess that explains a lot. It's funny because this was always a more rough and tumble place than MATY, but nowadays I see noobs getting a ripped a new asshole regularly there and people here are practically singing kumbaya.

I thought one of the prerequisites to being on a Pescado board was being mean an onrey or at least not being opposed to people who were.

And yes I think Peggy deserves anything she gets at this point. Someone should hack her place and replace her hot mess ass Anime shit layout with something tasteful. That ought to confuse her. :D

Well, Motoki, it's hard to keep going when you're told to back off and then get slapped with a label like the one I did, when there are people on other forums that swear just as bad if not worse than I do. Me, I have to be pretty provoked into going off like an f-bomb with a rant. Others elsewhere, not so much.

Paden, I doubt the outrage is gone, but it may be that some people are wondering what they can do that would be effective.  Of course we should get the word out on all the boards we can.  However, I suspect that the places where people actually listen, MTS, MATY, etc., are the ones that already know Peggy is scum.  We can post on the BBS and get censored by Hydra and Drea, we can post on TSR and get censored by Cadiva.  Not saying we shouldn't, I just wish there was something we could do that would have a large impact on Peggy.  Get the word out on her board?  Probably get censored there.  What to do?  Post, post, and post some more.

How about starting a legal defense fund for WesH?  Find a lawyer, ask if this can be taken to court, and if so, get a big "Legal Defense Donation" button up?

edit: I thought the whole "be less mean" thing was about not dogpiling on newbies.  What does it have to do with criticising paysites?  Nothing, I thought.

I think our first order of business here, is going back to the good, old, rough hardcore. This ain't a bloody playground.

Paden, I understand how shitty it is, when you get slapped on the wrist for acting appropriate to the place, or it seemed that way at least. But then, some start moaning that people act mean, ugly, and not nicezzz  - been there a lot in life, since I have a tendency to be painfully and unsensitevly honest. Well, they saw to what place they were signing up, and if not, it's their problem. If they're adults, they can either get used to it or leave. If don't do one of the two, they're whiny 12'ves. It's been agreed a long time ago, that this ain't a democratic, either a politically correct and polite board. After all, we're pirates for shit's sake! Pirates aren't supposed to be nice by definition.

TS3 seemed to be a new opening to do something about those paysite shitheads. Instead, we're sleeping through this new occassion. The payshits are shitting on us, Free-supporters, again, by abusing free creators' work. Nothing new, true. The question is however, are we gonna change into a blob of mashed potatos and ignore it, because it ain't nothing new, or are we gonna at least try make them regret it.

Pirates, really, get your firepower back, so we can finally blast those payshits to kingdom come. True, they don't deserve that much effort or attention, but lets put our higher level in a box for now, and give them that destructive attention.

Motoki - you're probably right, since she is from China, it might not do much good, but it's worth a try. Anything is worth a bloody try. Even if it will be futile, we might at least by some chance spoil some of her blood over it. That will also be a victory.

My personal idea would be for one of us with server access to start our own Sims Finds sites- like the Free Content Pawns Paysite Crap only with it's own site- because realistically we are simply not reaching a wide enough range of Sims gamers with the thread- it is merely those of us that are members here and most of our visitors are repeat visitors (or offenders if they are paysite trolls)  and publicize it at MTS, The BBS and anywhere we can - it can appear to be a normal finds site like Spring4sims or Sims Daily until you see the side by side pics for the paysite finds with - this is the picture " Peggy, Rose, Shakeshit " gave you- This is what it actually looks like in the average TS1-TS2-TS3 game without special lighting or photoshopping- And then follow each paysite find up with 10 or 15 or 20 better quality free finds- Honestly if someone wants to take on the task - I would help look for finds and am I sure that between our Freesite Pawns Pay thread and our Prettiest Free Creations threads we would already have several months worth of material


Of course that is given anyone has enough time energy and patience to do so - given that many of the  members of the Free  Sims Community have been working a ridiculous number of hours in their free time to make TS3 a little bit more than the steaming pile of cat poo that EA originally released (don't get me wrong I like the game - I would not have gotten it if I didn't but EA truly experienced phail overload this time around) - and that is unfortunately probably a task for another day- Of course given that darling Peggy cloned her hairs from Store hairs - most people won't be able to use them anyways- unless they just happened to have bought those specific hairs from the Store or obtained them by other means

I'm not interested in Sims3, but doesn't the new EULA allow everyone to modify fanstuff anyway? What's she gonna do when even EA says it's okay?
Modify her pay hairs a little bit and offer them for download everywhere, on MTS, on GoS, every big place, with a new creator name and just a tiny credit notice.
If she is save from the law in China you are safe from her too. Different continents works both ways.

There is still debate about what the EULA actually means and extends to. It only talks about content shared though the software, meaning the launcher. So that would only count recolored patterns, lots, and sims.

I find the new new EULA pretty confusing also. On the peggy hairs I am reading it as anything that has used the launcher belongs to EA.  Peggy has reworked EA hair so she must have used the launcher to download it from EA in the first place, so anything that is derived from that work belongs to EA and should be shared freely.  Also, she totally disregarded Wes Howe's terms of use and used his tool to make pay hair, while blatantly requesting for people not to reproduce her items.  This one is really taking the piss.

No the Sims 3 EULA doesn't specifically address custom content. However it does say this:
1.  Limited License Grant and Terms

A. Grant. Through an authorized purchase or transfer, you acquire and EA grants you a non‐exclusive license to install and use the Software for your personal, limited, non‐commercial use solely as set forth in this License and the accompanying documentation. blablabla


So even though it doesn't identify custom content per se, one could easily argue that making content involves using the software. Um duh! Thus selling said content becomes a using the software for commercial purposes. You could say that this only applies to the game itself (i.e. copying/reselling it/whatever), however everything on the disc is part of the software you bought so if you clone anything you are in fact cloning the software. If you then decide to make something from that clone and sell it on a website, you are in fact using the software for commercial public purposes.

But we all know this already as do those who still make the CC and sell it. But they do it anyway. Why? Because they're just the kind of people who like to use other people's work to make a buck for themselves. I'm sure some don't limit themselves to the Sims.

As for Peggy, well ya she's just doing what she does. She's a hack that makes gappy inferiour game borking hair and doesn't care who she fucks in the process as long as she doesn't have to work 18 hour days in a rat infested bead factory in Xinjiang province. So what's new.

I would imagine that most people who download that shit don't hang out here so they how would they even know what she's doing unless the outraeg is expressed on the sites where they do. Besides a lot of players just want MOAR PRETTY HAIRZ for their little simmies and don't really give a flying fuck where it came from or who got probed in the process. Sad but truefax.

No matter what the EULA says, Wes's tool does not allow items created with it to be pay.  She can wait for TSR's tool and make pay creations with it or make a tool of her own but even if she interprets the EULA to allow her to sell items, there isn't a way for her to think that the TOU that she agreed to for the tool she used allows for that.  Even TSR realized that in order to sell things this time and try to say " the EULA says I can" that they would have to create their own tools to do it and not rip everything from the free community in order to sell stuff.

We may not be able to stop pay items, but if those that create the tools that are used have a TOS that says "NO PAY STUFFS", then their rights should be honored.  If someone, i.e. Peggy, TSR, use them, they shouldn't make the item pay.  Plain and simple.  But the creators of programs have to enforce their TOS.  And we always support them.  We can spread the word that so and so is using a free program that doesn't allow for sale items and get pirate-y on them!  Maybe a topic post just for that, like "Paysites who PIRATE and Profit from Freesites" and spread a pirate attack campaign.  That way, we fight back to protect free programs, meshes, etc...from being used and abused by paysites.

As for Pottymouth Paden title, I consider it to be a honor not a slap.  If I'm gonna be in a fight, I will ALWAYS want you on my side Paden!!  Especially the Pottymouth, cuz no one can say FUCK YOU in a rant better than you.  I bow to your Pottymouth prowess!  Be proud of it and just say fuck off to anyone that disagrees.

Oh good grief I just read through that thread of hers now she is blaming her shoddy half assed work on hacks:

http://www.peggyzone.com/forum/viewthread.php?tid=411

Peggy: "A few of simmers said in their post that the latest female hairstyle crashed the game,
although most simmers didnt meet such problem and these hairstyle work perfectly with
their game. But after deleting some hacks in packages folder, the conflict disappeared."


User: "I installed the hairs and within a few moments of them being installed, my game crashed. I don't have a screenshot, but it seems to have issues when you zoom, or move the game screen too fast."

Peggy: in all probability, there is some hack that causes conflict with the hair.

Of course nothing she did could have caused the problem in spite of the fact that:

http://www.modthesims.info/showthread.php?p=2714909#post2714909

Quote from: Delphy
Upon examination of her free files available, I can see that she's basically modified one of the Store .package files (and in a bad way at that). She's done the absolute minimum needed to make it appear in game.

Problems include:
- Texture Compositors still point to the pre-existing Store content
- Proxy resources for anything except the primary proxy still point to the pre-existing Store content (which is why it doesn't work on anything except normal Sims)

She's basically just gone in with a hex editor and changed group ids from, for example, 0x00AE6C67 to 0x01AE6C67, and so on. It's extremely amatuerish .... but I guess it gets the job done.

The main problem I can see is that the way a lot of these linkages are setup they will not work properly without having the Store hair installed in your game.

Here in the free community, we like to get things right and not have store references littering the package files. Which is why hairs made using my hair creator are totally completely independant from anything else.

I wonder how EA would feel, knowing that a pay creator is using Store content to make her content, and then selling it...

another tard replies to Peggy: Yeah my game crash when i use your great hair to. And its a bummer cause i just love it. I dont have any hacks... atleast i dont think i do.... mostly hairs and clothes that is downloaded... dunno why. Yeah ofcourse just a few cause im always one of few that have problems lol. Hoping ill figure this one out but i dont have a clue. im one of those that dont know anything about comps and just gets amazed everytime i see all the great stuff ppl make. Anyway... great site and lovely things in here so keep up the great work.

Motoki - Your "Merry Christmas!" made my day!  You go!  And yes, they are hypocrites who will defend Peggy's "legal rights" one moment, then download bootleg PeggyCrap the next.

How the fuck do you subscribe to any thread on Peggy's damn blinky forum?  Is there even a subscribe button???

I thought I read that her pretzel braid hair replaced the store bob hair.  If I'm wrong, someone let me know.  I was fixing that bused up post when I got ban hammered, so I don't expect any of my posts to be up anymore.  That's okay, I'll be back tomorrow with a different IP.  So you all banned too?

Does the official BBS have lots of PeggyZoners on it?  We could post there until Drea and Hydra stompinate us for being "off topic".  Or maybe they won't?  After all, EA is butt buddies with T$R, not PeggyZone.

That one does but she isn't distributing that one.  Delphy said they were based on Store hairs which somehow still makes them dependent on them.  I am not sure any of the new ones replace the hairs but you still need them installed to work which she doesn't seem to be making clear.

Thanks, scrappy, for correcting that mistake on my part.  I don't want to distribute inaccurate info, won't help our cause.  I'll modify my saved posts for later reposting.

Depending on where you are they probably do. Around here all the schools (Elementry, Middle, and High) they all have open wifi connections because almost every school here has tons of laptops. I was able to get online on my PSP once with the school district's wifi connection.

You may run into not being able to get on the site though. Censor programs schools use don't always ban the right sites (I was doing a report a few years ago and I needed info on a tree. I couldn't get to a site because it had XXX on the site somewhere, I think it was in a chart for the tree or something. But someone clicked on a link, and it took him to a porn site, go figure).

But couldn't you just use a proxy to hide your IP? That would work, right?

Yeah, but Peggy's blinky sparkly seizure site is frickin slow loading through a proxy, at least the ones I use.  So I want to go through all the local free wifi networks here first.

I exhibit no surprise!  If you can still PM, I'd PM with "Now can you please explain why I was banned? *insert insane amounts of eyelash batting here*"  PM until you get totally banned  ;D  LETS GO FOR BROKE!!! 

I like what Paden said about "shouldn't we be more pissed off?"  But it's basically an up hill battle.  No matter what we do, no matter how many times we flame, there are still so many Peggy Cult Followers that the chances of anything really happening to her are slim to none.  Frankly, most people don't care because most people don't get it.  They write it off as us just getting way to into a game and taking it way too seriously instead of taking it as theft, which is what it really is.  It was true what was said, people just want 'moar pretty hairz!!!"  And after so many years of fighting an uphill battle, its normal to get worn out and tired when you don't see any results.   :-\


On an additional note, I DLed one of the "pretty hairz" from The Booty just to laugh when it crashed my game and looked like hair on a baboons ass.....But sadly, the stupid hair actually worked and I turned into sad panda.  I had nothing to laugh at and then mock at her forum because I have no hacks in my game.  That woulda been rich....Sigh, oh well.  The shit takes forever to show up in the preview in CAS, though.

Blah, dumb ass Peggy.  ::) Of course since modding hairs in sims 3 is so much harder than it was in sims 2, there won't be as many people to fix her fuck ups. I wonder how many people will still fawn over her when they realize their hairs can't be retextured without knowing not only basic photoshop, but how to work Delphy's CTU. Granted they aren't hard, but I highly doubt there will be as many as there were past in the past doing mesh retouch ups or retextures.

I will admit though, not having to do animations has saved dear peggy's soul since she could never get those right. Although the new body shapes has appeared to fuck her over as well. I read somewhere that the longer hair she made will nom your simmies boobies if they are too fat.

Yup

http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/smf/index.php/topic,15971.msg460077.html#msg460077

I agree that the hair looks too stiff. Also (and I'm not sure if this is because the mesh plugins are in their infancy - if that's why, please excuse the error) while EAxis hair adjusts itself based on the Sim's weight, Peggy's hair just sits there and doesn't compensate whatsoever for the body shape.

For example, EAxis hair:
(http://img12.imageshack.us/img12/4308/eaxishair.th.png) (http://img12.imageshack.us/img12/4308/eaxishair.png)

Versus Peggy's sh!t:

As I said on MATY, her site looks like Sailor Moon vomited all over it. And then there's all those annoying bits and boops and other maddeningly cutesy noises!

Peggy discriminates against old and fat sims. No fair!

And she wants all the males to look like emo trannies with bad wigs!

Oh and on a serious note, I just thought of something, her hairs are spawning on new townies, or at least they are for me with Awesomemod plus Indie Stone for story mode stuff that I am using now. If those townies get fat out of my control or when they get old they are going to be walking around with some serious glitchiness. Ugh. I have to see what happens to them when I take her hair out. Hmm. :P

Also, when you play with the slider bar for the height of the outter eye corners, the hair moves up and down drastically.  No pics of that though, I'll see if I can recreate it later so you can see the fun elongated head.

When playing dumb, say you don't have game mods and you tested with no other CC (and actually do that), so she can't pull that crap.  Even some of the Peggy people do that, good for them, it's a faint sign of hope.

Anyone read the disclamer Peggy posted on Sims 3 downloads?

Quote
Recently I received lots of information from many enthusiastic players, saying that the latest sims3 custom content released on PeggyZone have been used by some vicious and irresponsible person to slander and bring shame on us desperately. I am shocked at that kind of illegal action. Now I make solemn declaration:
Firstly, all the meshes and pictures published on peggyzone, including but not limited to meshes and pictures used in sims2 and sims3 custom content, are designed and created by peggyzone independently.

Secondly, for the reason that part of the meshes and pictures will be used in EA sims game, so all the file format and their parameters are created to meet the requirements of sims game. Based on the international convention and related laws and regulations, and even EA’s official statement itself, the copyright and ownership of these files belong to the artist(peggyzone).

Thirdly, the latest sims3 custom content published on peggyzone are all designed and created independently by peggyzone. The only thing we used from EA official sims3 custom content is their parameters, which is required by game. No piracy! No copy! Please feel free to use these legal creations.

Fourthly, supporting by our website advocator’s useful MAYA plugin, after toil and moil, we design, make and launch our sims3 custom content in an early stage. There is no need to clarify the slander, for Peggy is the first artist that created genuine independent custom content successfully. It explains all. Part of the information of the software is listed below:

(http://peggyzone.com/images/ST1.jpg)
(http://peggyzone.com/images/ST2.jpg)

A plugin is needed to bind skeleton when designing items in Maya,which is required to be exclusive by the author,so further information could not be released. We will appreciate your understanding of that.

Fifthly, PeggyZone reserves the rights to take any actions that we think necessary and appropriate to the extent permitted by law in response to insult, libel and attack committed by anyone.

Peggyzone also holds the rights to take any actions that we think necessary and appropriate to the extent permitted by law in response to any duplication, share, publish, promulgation, alteration or sale of the characters, programs, sounds, images, originalities, LOGO and works (exclusive of G-SHOP) mentioned above, by anyone and by any means or reasons, including, but not limited to, programs, pictures, shapes and 3D model are strictly prohibited if without previous written consent of Peggyzone.

Thank you for your support and appreciation for the past many years. We promise that our website will never affected by such issue and will continue to create more gorgeous works for players.

Have fun!

Peggyzone

According to the 4th part, is it just me or is she saying her website has a MAYA plugin they developed?

Ok, must now go find proof that she used Wes' tool.  I'm sure I read folks wrote that there was signs that Wes' program leaves in files.  I think there was a link in this thread, or on MATY, on MTS...  Of course, if she did really write and use her own tool, that would explain the crappy quality of the meshes and the game crashes she causes.
*Cat goes off to look*

She's going to take legal action against us?  Orly?  I do hope so, really I do.  I want to see her explain in court how she thinks she has a copyright on any Sims3 stuff she made.

Boy, Peggy sure does get testy when her reputation for making authentic, half assed gappy hairdos is called into question. Hmmm, maybe she's planning a second honeymoon and can't afford to have any of her sheep jumping the fence.

Custom Sims 3 down or did they move?  I'm trying to link to Wes Howe's Sims3 MilkShape plugins and tutorial, in a rebuttal to Peggy's disgusting lies, but it won't look too good if the links don't work. :/

Motoki (or anyone), please repost the link to bootleg Peggy Sims3 paycrap here, so folks can copy and paste it.  Helps when preparing posts to put on PeggyZone later, thanks!

edit: While waiting for pages to load through a proxy, here's what I plan to post all over PeggySparkleLand.
Maybe it can be of some use to others, the links at least.  Thanks to everyone in this thread for providing many of these links and examples.

edit2: So happy many folks are posting in PeggyZone!  Posted the rebuttal.  Must think of what to put in short PM's to 50 people.  Link to Peggy booty, links to lovely free stuff?  Link to this thread?  Links to Peggy's gaps and borked hair pics?  PeggyZoners don't seem to understand that Peggy's low, low quality is not normal and not acceptable.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

A REBUTTAL OF PEGGY'S CLAIMS


Peggy Claim
Quote
Peggy is the first artist that created genuine independent custom content successfully.

The Truth
Many free creators made true, independent content *weeks* before Peggy did.
Look at their work, check the date when it was posted.
- Snaitf's movie posters that don't replace anything (http://www.modthesims.info/download.php?t=348002)
- Snaitf's children's t-shirts, new clothing that does not replace anything in game (http://www.modthesims.info/download.php?t=347585)
- Lurania's hello kitty watches, accessories that don't replace anything (http://www.modthesims.info/download.php?t=348705)
- kanon's shorter boots for women, don't replace any shoes (http://www.digitalperversion.net/gardenofshadows/index.php?topic=12855.0)
There are others, look around.  Furthermore, Peggy's hair is NOT INDEPENDENT, as explained in the next section.


Peggy Claim
Peggy says if her hair does not work right, it is because you have "mods and hacks" in your game.

The Truth
Hair meshes and "mods and hacks" have nothing to do with each other, just ask any modder or hair mesher who is not Peggy.  Peggy hair needs EA Games store hair to work, because Peggy made it wrong.  You can read about that here (http://www.modthesims.info/showthread.php?p=2714909#post2714909) and here (http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/smf/index.php/topic,15971.0.html).  Peggy, nobody accused you of *copying* EA Store hair, we pointed out, correctly, that your hair *requires* EA Store hair.  So your customers have to pay TWICE for your broken, crashy hair.  Why not get beautiful, truly independent Sims3 hair for all ages, both genders, any face shape, no crash, no bug, and FREE?  
- short punky hair (http://www.modthesims.info/download.php?t=356951)
- short curly hair (http://www.modthesims.info/download.php?t=356940)  
If you really must have Peggy hair, get it free here (http://paysites.mustbedestroyed.org/booty/ts3/peggy/).


Peggy Claim
Peggy claims she used her own software, but, uh, she can't release it...
Quote
Part of the information of the software is listed below:
*pictures of supposed software Peggy claims is her Sims3 content tool, omitted*
A plugin is needed to bind skeleton when designing items in Maya,which is required to be exclusive by the author,so further information could not be released. We will appreciate your understanding of that.
(bold added by me)

The Truth
Wes Howe released a MilkShape plugin that allows export/import of Sims3 meshes, before Peggy made her Sims3 hair.  Anyone can download it and use it to make free content (pay content is forbidden by Wes' license agreement).  Look  here (http://www.modthesims.info/wiki.php?title=Sims_3:Modding#Meshing_Tools), scroll down to Meshing Tools.  Look in this thread (http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/smf/index.php/topic,15971.0.html) to see how saddened Wes Howe was that his hard work, his free tool, were illegally used to make pay items, and not very well at that. Peggy has NOT released her tool.  Why?  If it even exists, it doesn't work right.  Free creators have known for a while now how to handle the Sims3 skeleton.  That is why their creations work with any body shape, any face shape.  Peggy stuff does NOT work with any face shape, any body shape (http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/smf/index.php/topic,15971.msg460077.html#msg460077), because Peggy still can't figure out the skeleton!  Yet she expects you to pay for her broken hair.


Peggy Claim
Quote
Based on the international convention and related laws and regulations, and even EA’s official statement itself, the copyright and ownership of these files belong to the artist(peggyzone). ...stuff omitted... Please feel free to use these legal creations.

The Truth
Legal and copyrighted by Peggy?  Ha ha ha!  No.  Here is part of EA Games Sims3 EULA:

Quote
A. Grant. Through an authorized purchase or transfer, you acquire and EA grants you a non‐exclusive license to install and use the Software for your personal, limited, non-commercial use solely as set forth in this License and the accompanying documentation.
(bold added by me)

"Non-commercial" means you can't sell stuff, Peggy.  When you take EA Store hair and alter it to make your hair, you are using EA software for commercial purposes, in violation of the EULA.  Wes Howe's tool license certainly does not allow creation of pay items either.  And here's more, from section B4.

Quote
when you contribute content through the Software, you expressly grant to other users of the Software the non-exclusive, perpetual, transferable, worldwide, irrevocable right to access and use, copy, modify, display, perform, and create and distribute derivative works from, your contributed content in connection with the Software, and to distribute and otherwise communicate your contributed content as a component of works that they create using the Software
(bold added by me)

In short, that means anyone can legally share your content, for free.  Anyone can modify your content.  You have no copyright.  Why should you, when much of your hair is meshes you just ported from TurboSquid and Poser?  Of course, decent people will give proper credit when using your work, something you yourself do not do when you use the work of others.


Peggy Claim
Quote
Fifthly, PeggyZone reserves the rights to take any actions that we think necessary and appropriate to the extent permitted by law in response to insult, libel and attack committed by anyone.

The Truth
Peggy hasn't taken anyone to court.  I doubt she is going to.  All she does is ban people who tell the truth, and erase their posts in the forums.  (We just come right back, Peggy.)  I would love to see her in court, trying to explain to a judge how she thinks she has a copyright on Sims3 content, or any right to sell it.  Please, Peggy, go to court.  Please!  DO IT!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------


edit3: Hey, isn't that Peggy hair on a Jassims free download?  Won't Peggy be mad her hair is being redistributed?  Paysite owners don't stick together, no honor among thieves, it seems.  Hey Peggy, take legal action!  *giggle giggle snerk*

Most excellent rebuttal, Cat. If I remember right, Peggy has used the "Ihazlawyers" tactic before without ever following through. Since she operates inside a vacuum, I think the only people she's really trying to fool with her rant are her subscribers. And since they're foolish enough to buy Peggy crap to begin with, they'd probably be foolish enough to buy her excuses.

Works both ways, Peggy dearest.  It's nearly impossible for WesH to sue you, and it's nearly impossible for you to sue the rest of us.  And branding you as an unethical offspring of a mutant turtle's egg all over the nets is fun. BTW, don't take your lying lessons from Thoma$$; he's very bad at it.

I have also made a Maya plugin, covered under the same license, that uses the same code to generate the GEOM with, but it was only released to a few testers. While the methods I use are my own "trade secret" the way the file is made leaves markings are irrefutable evidence she generated the final output of the two pay hair file I examined with my plugins. And the license terms very clearly prohibit commercial use.

She can claim she is using something else, and it may be true, to the extent she may be modelling with maya. But the final file was created with one of my plugins, or by code stolen from my plugins. Her rattling statements about insult, libel and attack are nothing but bluster and bravado. She is on the wrong side on this issue.

She can cure this by using the Blender plugins, and probably the TSR tool, as it exports GEOMs also. But until she does, she has no valid claim to ownership of the file, as it was produced only by violating my license terms.

Let's see, who am I going to believe, respected member of the community who has worked hard for free, shared his work and never charged anyone a dime or money grubbing ho who makes half assed borked up files and never bothers to fix them?

It's a mystery. Peggy has never commented on it. It was found on the Exchange where some Russian user had a sim with that hair and put it up. Then someone at Garden of Shadows somehow managed to find it? No clue.

It does replace the bob hair which I think is actually fairly tasteful. It's an odd choice for one to replace. I would think Peggy would have picked something weirder and less cutesy to replace.

Does Peggy pay these people in PG or are they just dumb and want shinies?
Some gems from the sparkly forum.

"those disputation is bullshit....what i care most is that how marvelous the creations are!!"

"yes, more importantly, Simmers are looking forward to more smashing custom content like sims2.  Assult, slander and fight are so ridiculous."

*headdesk headdesk headdesk*

I think the way to get through to their kind is show them actual high quality shinies, for free, and links to the booty.  Hope their insatiable lust for bishy anime hair trumps any cultish loyalty they feel towards Peggy.  Are they spending their parents money, so it doesn't matter to them?

edit: SparkleLand is down for maintenance.  Massive post purge?  Upload of more borked crap?  Maybe someone wrote working software for Peggy and she's remaking her crap to hide evidence she used Wes' software?  We'll see what tomorrow brings.

Her site is up for me. There are no new files on it. I didn't check out the forum, take too damn long to load on dial up. But I did find something I laughed at, its her site disclaimer, it says she posted it the same day as the disclaimer for sims 3 junk:

6. We are going to sue anyone that infringes the copyright or intellectual property rights of the website.

Yeah, sure you are Peggy.

Another thing I noticed is right below the above line there is this one:

Also keep in mind that most of the people who fund Peggy seem to be non-English speakers or spoiled little teenagers, so always remember to keep your rebuttals simple. I've been using the "Peggy is mean!" approach over the "Peggy's actions are illegal and unethical" approach. I mean, clearly anyone who has been a Peggy fan for more than five minutes is dumb or doesn't speak enough English to know what we're yelling at them.

For all the Peggy 12's that like anime hair - SAU is almost running and I would just embed links to Coris and Myos's site- they do very similar hairstyles without the gaps, funky weird meshing, poor textures, ugly colors, etc- all 100% free - and even though their current TS3 hair replaces the guys Mohawk it doesn't rely on shit you have to buy from the Store - and even if it did you are only paying once to a corporation who has the legal right (though probably not moral since they could easily include the shit in a SP/EP and charge less for it) to sell it in the first place


Title: Re: Well here we go, I present the first TS3 Pay items thanks to Peggy
Post by: Motoki on 2009 July 24, 16:04:58
The recent SAU hair was causing people issues and also replaced another hair if I recall correctly. People need to chill out on the hair making for a bit until everything is figured out and there's proper tools and tutorials. HP has acces to some private tools Delphy hasn't released yet so that's why her stuff works and works well without replacing.

All the hairs that replaces ingame hairs are extremelly buggy and make your game crash. Stay away from it, don't even look at it :D
The only thing that work on existing EA hairs is alpha edits, there's one really nice on MATY that removes the pinapple thing (http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/smf/index.php/topic,15775.msg454129.html#msg454129)

I wish someone would alpha edit some others, like raise the male shaggy bangs a bit so you can actually see their eyes and maybe make that sticking up hair a little less sticking up.

I tried but I clearly did something wrong because it crashed my game when I selected the hair I did with the alpha edit in the CAS. :P

Me too Motoki, clearly some EA choices for hairs details is awful. Ditto for your suggestions. Plus lowering the fringe for the female hair/making it longer, it's ridiculous as it is ::) *hint hint for all the alpha editers*

Strange. The pinapple edit works flawlessly for me, delete your caches.

CatOfWar, there's no way to know which store hair is needed for Peggy's shit. Try checking peggy's file with postal, the store hair name may be buried somewhere inside.

No I meant I tried to do an alpha edit myself on the male shaggy hair and I did something wrong obviously because it crashed my game. Meh, I guess I could keep at it and try harder or ask around, but I wasn't in the mood at the time.  :P

I think 'delete your cache' is the Sims 3 community's catch all cure for all problems. It's like when people say defrag your hard drive for any and every computer problem under the sun.

I should try deleting my cache and seeing if it makes my bills go away irl.  ;D

Will try that.  However, can you confirm for sure that Peggy hair does indeed require Store hair, or it won't work?  I don't have the game and won't arr it.  That's my understanding, what I'm getting from Delphy's post on MTS (http://www.modthesims.info/showthread.php?t=356715&c=1&ht=&page=2&pp=25#startcomments) and the MATY thread, but I don't have the game, so can't confirm this myself.  I've been running around PeggyZone screaming "Peggy's crap requires store hair!!!" (well, not in those exact words), but I want to make really sure.  This is what I've gleaned from user reports at PeggyZone (the ones that weren't deleted before I saw them).

- Peggy hair works if you have hacks (duh!)
- Peggy hair works if you don't have hacks (duh!)
- Peggy hair works if you have EA Store hair

What I *don't* see is reports that say "Peggy hair doesn't work if you don't have EA Store hair".  If that were posted, I'm sure the mods would nuke such posts, so someone from here or MATY or MTS needs to tell me.

edit: I can't spell.

Well, that's what Delphy & users at MATY reported. Delphy checked her hair & concluded to that, frankly I trust him for that. Anyway I cannot check since I have almost all the store hairs installed. It's gonna be hard finding someone who has sims 3 yet don't have any store hair to check. :(

New info about this at MTS! (see post #119) (http://www.modthesims.info/showthread.php?p=2734461#post2734461)  I asked Delphy to clarify what "doesn't work" means.  Doesn't show up at all?  Shows up but crashes?  Meanwhile, check out Delphy's latest learnings!

Quote from: Delphy
I used the package comparison tool I built into QADPE to compare one of Peggys free hair meshes to the particular store item it takes from. Here are the results:

* NUMBERS SNIPPED, GET THEM AT MTS *

Note that of 86 different chunks, only 16 differ, and these are primarily for textures (0x00B2D882) and Meshes (0x015A1849). She's not even bothered to change the mesh name (both are called afhairkhalil) and in a lot of cases, is using chunks directly from the store packages themselves.

So, in reality, this package file is 80% EA Store, and 20% Peggy.

Any claims this this works totally independantly of the Store hairs are bogus. There are still many links from the Texture Compositors and Visual Proxys to the pre-existing Store resources. This is why the hairs simply don't work properly unless you have this Store hair installed in your game. Nothing to do with "Hacks" - it's plain and simple reliant on the Store.

And this useful info from HP, tells you exactly *which* hair Peggy used.

Quote from: HP
Her files reference resources that come with this hair: http://store.thesims3.com/productDe...ck=categoryPage

And her hair files have the same internal mesh name as that hair.

She's distributing resources that come with that hair, too, btw, without making any changes to them.

I love MTS to bits.

It's gonna be hard finding someone who has sims 3 yet don't have any store hair to check.
Can't you just temporarily remove the EA store hair, then put it back?  Or does Sims 3 not allow that?  Meh, I'm going to have to find a used copy of Sims 3 somewhere, so I don't have to keep bugging people to check stuff for me.  Stupid EA.  Stupid Peggy.

Nope, store hairs aren't packages. At that time there wasn't much choice except using the launcher, removing anything with it is a total pain in the ass and you have to create a new hood to check the game without the missing store hair ('cause if one sim uses the removed hair you're screwed and crash to desktop. It's not like sims 2 were the sim would end up bald.) Plus hair creates 2 files in the launcher, one for teen-YA-A and one for elders, so you'ld have to remove both to be totally sure.
rum_nate do you have the 'beautiful split' installed? You know, that bob like hair with a middle split?
EDIT: I see that MissA is reading the thread. Missie, something tells me you don't have the store hairs installed. Is my guess right? (LOL I have 50% chance, gotta try :D)

Delphy added on post 124:
Quote
Becuase 80% of the chunks are lifted directly out of the store packages, and she's only changed the basics, there are many references littered around to the store textures, meshes and other chunks which hair needs.

The Primary VPXY is indeed correct, so the "default" hair will actually work fine without the Store hair. But becuase none of the _fit, _fat, _thin, _special VPXYs have been modified to point to the correct meshes, any Sim which uses one of these blends will mostly like revert to invisible hair (aka just show the scalp). Additionally, becuase the Texture Compositors are incorrect, this means that the texture links are wrong, and you'll get missing / incomplete textures.

Peggy is indeed a stupid monkey :(

EDIT2: I see someone at MTS tried by removing the store hairs. I sure hope she didn't forget the store elder parts for the test to be valid.

I have the store hairs installed.  They are in package form after you install them.  I use Delphy's Multi Installer for sims3packs.  (The launcher is bad, mmkay?)

Store hairs are packages. I didn't use the launcher to install them (I've never used the launcher to install anything), so for me it was simply a matter of dragging them out of my Mods\Packages folder.

I took out all my CC except for the Peggy hairs, cleared my cache... and all the hairs worked fine. And by fine I mean significantly better than any Peggy TS2 hair. I wish I could say otherwise.

I don't know why other people are having problems. It would be nice to see someone who's never had the Store hairs try the Peg hairs.

(My results are in more detail in that MTS thread, post 129 and 131.)

Store hairs from the store thread in MATY are not packages. They're raw simspacks and at that time there's wasn't much tools to transform them. I grabbed them as soon as MATY posted them and installed them like all the matians did, following their instructions: that meant using the damn shitty launcher. Multi pack installer quickly came afterward eventhough it was first quircky. But anyway all the store items were already installed in my game using the launcher. So Jeez' don't waste your speech on me, there wasn't much choice at that time, that's it. Good for you, and bad for me since now I have to clean the mess. Don't worry, I know the damn thing is evil itself >:(

o.O  Is it just me or do you seem upset?  If so, calm down.  It'll all be okay.  :)  

I ignored the Matyian instructions on how to install.  I already had the Multi Installer at the time.  I have no intentions of using the launcher ever and wouldn't have installed the sims3packs if it meant using the launcher.  I have chosen not to have Riverview because, at least as far as I know, you have to use the launcher to have it in your game.

Actually I'm like you House I used the launcher for all the store stuff also. I just close my internet connection while I used it. My firewall blocks it anyway but hey it's really not a hassle to switch my radio off for a minute. So what if you use Delphy's tool everything has to go into the mods folder then? Does that work with lot?

Peggy is indeed a stupid monkey :(

She is just a lazy greedy bitch who doesn't care about doing things right, as long as she can get something to look cute in a screenshot then she doesn't give a shit about the rest.

She doesn't have an attention to detail, never has and never will. People need to know that going into it getting any of her stuff. And it's one thing to download something for free and find out it's all half assed and fucked up (although any content creator who truly gives a shit about their work would never do such a thing or would fix it when pointed out) but it's quite another to pay for something and then find out it was made poorly and incorrectly and does not function in all ways it should or else operate as advertised.

And I will swim upstream and say I like installing things with the installer because it lets me know what is custom content and what isn't.

It is maddeningly slow sometimes, but otherwise I have no issues with it. If you are worried about it phoning home then just shut your internet off when you run it.

Note that I don't actually launch the game from it, I just use it to install content.

It also shows me what I already have installed which I find rather handy.

Okay, clearly I have done something wrong because Peggy's pay hair didn't show up for me at all. I followed the instructions in the readme that came in the download after downloading Delphy's resource.cfg and putting it in the root folder, fired up the game and nada. I clicked all the hairs in create a sim for all the ages and it ain't there. Peggy's website suggested deleting cache files so I did and tried again and still no Peggy hair. Again, I clicked through all the hairs in all the ages just to make sure it wasn't there and it isn't.

Since I don't have any other CC in my game I thought I would test HP's cherub hair to see if it was me having a brain fart or what. So I extracted the .package files to Mods/Packages, fired up the game, entered CAS and this is what greeted me:

(http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x283/lucyvanklinken/Sims2/Screenshot.jpg)

Irrelevant I know but I LOL'd. Ahem. Anyway, guess what is available? Not Peggy hair (which is still in Mods/Packages, btw), but the cherub hair is right there! In all of it's awesomeness:

(http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x283/lucyvanklinken/Sims2/Screenshot-2.jpg)

and a screenie made with my screenshot program which is really dark for some reason:

(http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x283/lucyvanklinken/Sims2/2009-07-25_010133.jpg)

I still could be doing something wrong (probably am) but HP's hair just worked without any fiddling and Peggy's didn't FWIW.

It used to work okay at first, not now. It doesn't seem to phone home much, apart for the store advertising. But anyway I nuked it with zonealarm. No, the thing is that I can't stand that launcher anymore, it's slow as hell to launch and scroll that long list and installing & removing items is a pain (failed install/uninstall FTW, have to do it several times in a row; and scrolling in that list is looooong).
Now that it's bloated with almost all the store items plus a handful of CC from when I still didn't have any tools, it's even more slow, it's killing me. I want to clean it, keeping only Riverview and store hairs (since these all weild 2 parts), I'll transform the rest in single packages for easier use. This way when (and if) there will be more neighbourhoods to install, the launcher won't be so slow and borked as it is now and would correctly install. If at least we could click on buttons for a sublist like "display patterns only" for example; it'ld be a bit handy and my wrath to to rip this program apart wouldn't be so big ::)

Kenmtl, I don't know how Delphy's Sims 3 viewer handles lots, it seems to work okay for bare CC though (forget about using subdirectories for CC with it, extract all the packs somewhere and move them yourself). You should read the original thread for lots infos: http://forum.jfade.com/viewtopic.php?f=51&t=466

Yeah but the thing is if you install things via the launcher you can see by the special icon that its donated as custom content and you can delete it in the game itself, in the CAS or the design tool or the family/house library. You don't have to delete it in the launcher.

But if you install the MTS2 you have no way to tell what is custom content and what isn't and you can't delete them in game. You can delete them, of course, by deleting the package file in the directory, but then I can't see what it is so I might not know what the hell it is just by the file name.

With HP's hairs it's pretty obvious but not with patterns! I downloaded a ton of Patterns on MTS2. I can't even tell which ones are EA and which ones are MTS2 ones. If I wanted to delete them just looking at the file name does help me.

I know the launcher is slow as hell, trust me I know, but in my experience file management is easier with it than without it.

If you actually look at the hairs and compare it to some of the base game hairs - that one looks to be an edit and retexture of one of the base game hairs- as is the really long  waist length one that is free - there are similar hairs to both of those in the base game. Peggy still does not have the right to sell any part of them- that right is exclusively EA's  or  the EA Creator who came up with it - according to both the EULA and  most international copyright laws which outweighs the EULA every time - because if the copyright belongs to someone else (EA or the EA creator who made it) legally you cannot sell if without a legal document granting you the right to sell the copyright owners content, programs etc-

 Walmart has to have one of these to sell EA products Peggy - Walmart is a legitimate business selling EA's content legally- You are not either by the EULA or the EA/Sims 3 Copyright filed with the United States Government and in fact the government of the Peoples Republic of China - you are not licensed by EA Games to sell their stuff - any part of it- and while there may be freesites with the same problematic content as yours- people don't complain because when someone gives you free ice cream you lose the right to bitch about the flavo. r

- Your customers pay you which means they have the right to bitch, critique, and complain about your content - and to ask for refunds of their donations when it is borked- don't bitch because people criticize you.

DO A BETTER JOB WITH YOUR MESHES SO THAT THE THINGS PEOPLE ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT SUCH AS GAME CRASHES, GAPS , POOR TEXTURES AND BAD COLORING ARE NO LONGER A PROBLEM.

 TRY ACTUALLY PLAYING YOUR GAMES INSTEAD OF JUST OPENING THEM UP TO TAKE PICTURES- THIS WILL ACTUALLY TELL YOU HOW YOUR CONTENT S LOOKS AND WORK IN GAME AND IT IS ELEMENTARY KNOWLEDGE IN  CUSTOM CONTENT CREATION THAT MY 12 YEAR OLD NIECE RECOLORING CLOTHES IN BODYSHOP KNOWS AND UNDERSTANDS!!!

 I have worked in customer service (that is what it is when you sell someone a product) and the number one rule of customer service in ANY COUNTRY   is that CUSTOMER (and that is what your members are thy buy stuff=customers) is ALWAYS RIGHT!

SamanthaS Big, big thanks for testing.  When you were first testing Peggy hair, you said you had Delphy's *.cfg file.  Does that mean you did NOT have Peggy's *.cfg file?  When you got that Exchange hair, did it come with a *.cfg file?  

I ask because Peggy made a (likely borked) *.cfg file that she insists people install with her hair.  She says the hair needs the *.cfg to work.  And if I recall right, didn't Delphy say Peggy put some store stuff in the *.cfg?

Note that I am typing this while extremely sleepy, so double check what Delphy said.

Plum thanks again for testing.  I'm thinking what could be different about your setup and SamanthaS's.  She had vanilla, you had EA Store hair, in package form, that you removed.  Any other differences come to mind?

There are one or two folks in SparkleLand who sound like they are trying to figure out why it doesn't work in a rational manner, although they believe everything Peggy tells them, so that's probably hampering them.  May be worth checking the sparkle forum to see if there's any new info from them (hey, it's theoretically not impossible).  I'll check tomorrow, when I'm awake.

I decided to look at what the difference between Peggy's .cfg and Delphy's .cfg. Mind you I know nothing about this, but I can tell they are really different.

Delphy's:

Priority 500
PackedFile Mods/Packages/*.package
PackedFile Mods/Packages/*/*.package
PackedFile Mods/Packages/*/*/*.package
PackedFile Mods/Packages/*/*/*/*.package
PackedFile Mods/Packages/*/*/*/*/.package

Peggy's:

Priority 501
DirectoryFiles  Mods/Files/... autoupdate
Priority 500
PackedFile Mods/Packages/*.package
Priority 499
PackedFile Mods/Test/*.package
Priority -50
PackedFile Mods/Probation/*.package

And I have to share a really nice looking pic from her forum:

(http://i40.tinypic.com/dmxy5s.jpg)

The person who posted it, that is the problem they are having with the hair. A mod's response to it was:

Quote
as the download details say ‘Unfortunately, it is inevitable that some of the face shapes will not work with the hairstyle and will intersect the hair (EA-created hairstyles sometimes have the same problem). ’, we are trying to resolve it.
or u may try to set the graphic quality 'high' to see if it could look better.

I don't think an EA hair would turn into an ugly blob on certain face shapes.

And the damn smilies on her forum, I swear one of them it was bleeding though its nose, and then blood was going into its mouth, and then it was blowing the blood away, I'll just share the post, mind you it is scary:

There was a Resource.cfg in the booty .zip but I didn't put it in since I already had Delphy's. The bootleg Peggy hair that I put in first didn't have a Resource.cfg with it (hence the reason I used Delphy's to begin with) but some weird extra .package file that was a jumble of numbers that started with 0x.....package. The instructions in that .rar file said said this:

Quote from: Peggy's readme
put CX-hair package in your Mod\Packages directory.
and put 0x...packages to My Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\DCBackup

i think this can make the hair visible...as a replace for bob in ts3 stores and as new hair for who dont have it.

note: the hair doesn't look good in CAS but in game it does and i make only 2 LOD's for highest and high so the hair will visible as sims thumbnail screen and ingame.

I took those out and deleted that DCBackup folder when I put Peggy's pay hair in and it made no difference, her pay hair worked.

Apparently, there's a belief in Asia that nosebleeds mean sexual arousal. It's very common in Anime, although I have also seen it in some live action Hong Kong films as well. Although the link below says males, it's been known to happen to female characters too, just not as common.

http://web.mit.edu/anime/www/culture-notes.html#nosebleeds

Quote
The frequent nosebleeds (and subsequent embarassment) of male anime characters are related to a folk-belief that sexual excitement in men leads to a change in blood-pressure, which in turn can cause a nose-bleed. There's a subsidiary belief more profuse the flow, the greater the excitement.

Delphy said Peggy ripped about 80% of a store hair package out, I think that is what is in the "wierd extra .package".  I think it is the store hair, minus its mesh and texture.  Must download Delphy's package compare tool and check this.  Looks like people don't have to buy EA Store hair because Peggy already stole it and is selling it with her hair.  But that still means Peggy hair needs store hair to work (you just get it from Peggy, not the store).

Right but when I took that weird .package out the pay hair still showed up in my game. Also, wouldn't Peggy get in trouble with EA for redistributing a Store hair?
And you've already said that you did not have store hair in your game either.  Hm.  Puzzling.  Well, it's still useful test data.  I'll try it myself once my used copy of Sims 3 arrives.

I doubt EA will care, although we really should tell them.  They have never give a flying duck about their EULA, so here's what I think might happen.  We tell them, they do nothing, then we can gleefully run around teh intarwebz shouting "take whatever you want from EA, they don't care, Peggy did it, see?", and see what happens.  They've never gone after MATY either, and no one there seems particularly concerned that they will.  I'm not advocating stealing EA stuff, just telling others that EA doesn't care if you do.  Or, we tell them, they tell Peggy to quit it, and maybe she does, maybe she doesn't, but either way, we have proof she's going against EA's wishes.  Good for us either way.

Since I've cross posted here and MTS the info is starting to get all jumbled so let me go over what I did from start to finish:

1. Freshly installed game.

2. Never used the launcher at all. I ran the game only from TS3.exe. No custom or Store content in my game at all.

3. Downloaded the file from the first mediafire link in this (http://phorum.mustnotbenamed.com/index.php/topic,2502.msg149835.html#msg149835) post, thinking it was the pay hair.

4. Went to the wiki to read up on installing CC in TS3 because I hadn't as yet, done so. Downloaded the Resource.cfg file from the article and put it in folder specified.

5. Followed the instructions in the readme that came with Peggy's download:
Quote from: Peggy's readme
put CX-hair package in your Mod\Packages directory.
and put 0x...packages to My Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\DCBackup
(I had to create the folder DCBackup because I didn't have one)

6. Fired up game, entered CAS, clicked through all the hairs to see if it had replaced any and it hadn't that I could tell. Quit game. Deleted cache files per Peggy's site's instructions tried again, no hair.

7. Downloaded HP's cherub hair, extracted to Mods\Packages, fired up game, success cute HP hair.

8. Realized the Peggy hair I downloaded wasn't the pay version but the free mystery version that was causing much drama on the Exchange. Oops. Removed that hair from Mods\Packages and deleted the DCBackup folder and the 0x...package file inside it.

9. Extracted Peggy pay hair to Mods\Packages, fired up the game and DAMMIT. Peggy pay hair. I now have blood streaming out of my nose that I'm having to blow away from my mouth like that stupid smiley but it ain't out of love, more like a seething RAEG because the hair worked.

I didn't put her Resource.cfg in my game because I already had Delphy's.

I don't remember.  By "us" do you mean PMBD or MATY, because PMBD doesn't share EA stuff.  Was there a thread about this?  Stupid EA.  Why not go after the people who actually sell their stuff, like Peggy?  *sigh*

Plum thanks again for testing.  I'm thinking what could be different about your setup and SamanthaS's.  She had vanilla, you had EA Store hair, in package form, that you removed.  Any other differences come to mind?
Nope. I had a lot of CC, but removed it all, cleared my cache files, and started a new town. Everything worked dandy. :/ I wish the long free hair didn't clip so much; it's the only hair I like.

That could be Missbonbon, a lot has happened this year, hard to keep up with it all.


And I have found what has to be the best message someone posted on Peggy's forum:

Quote
To my think, PeggyZone deserves to have its own license for hairs.
I don't think that PeggyZone's work should belong to EA even though its creation suits EA's game.
I am not sure if PeggyZone's hair has infringed on EA's technical license.
But we all agree on the point that the hair design is a creation that doens't belong to EA.

I'm also checking out TSR to see what the sheep there have to say about Peggy's hair, and I found something I had to laugh at. When Peggy posted her first hair, the one that replaces the female mohawk, someone on the TSR fourms posted a link to it. A mod edited their post and took out the link. Reason? "Mod Edit: Please do not link to sites which fail to meet TSR's PG13 policy."

In another post when HP posted the 2 hairs she did, someone linked them and a mod edited the post for the same reason above. MTS is way more PG13 than TSR ever will be.

I'm also reading all the sheep saying MTS is so confusing, you can't find anything. Yeah, sure.  ::)

As far as the posts about it being us that were sharing files;  We were accused of being the ones who were sharing store files but it was on the BBS by Drea in a post defending TSR IIRC.  It wasn't here.  She went off on the BBS about how store files were being shared here and many people had to try to set here straight.  She also went over to MATY and had a bitchfest there.

Post by: rum nate on 2009 July 26, 16:43:44
I remember when that happened. Coconut updated her link to get around the the ban, because it banned the address, the the blog in general.

But there are people posting the link to here on the Sims 3 BBS and I haven't seen bannings yet. But there are also people going around saying it is against the rules to link to MTS because they have "other" types of hacks. No mod has come to say if they can link there or not. But that BBS is a mess, people posting shit in all the wrong areas, and I have only looked at the store sections. There was a thread in the general store section asking how to get the death flower or something, and I'm pretty sure its still there. If they don't do anything,its going to end up like the Sim City Society's BBS(Is that still even open, I haven't checked since Patch 5 came out, just before Destinations came out).

MTS is  not hard at all compared to the paysite epileptic seizure inducing menus- Click on downloads at the top of the screen- pick Sims 2 or Sims 3- when you get there things will be separated according to what they are - pic an option , click through the pages download what you want - of course given the probably  illiteracy rate amongst many of  the 12's that people Peggy's forums and site due to crap education many parts of the world  I can see where some of Peggy's downloaders might find MTS a little daunting. After all you do have to read a little to find what you want it isn't pointed out in bright sparkly blinking Flash animations.

Some unknown person fixed Peggy's first hair to not be a replacement for the mohawk. Clearly she is too busy to be bothered to fix her own work.  ::)

They also fixed the bootleg 'Angela' hair and the SAU 'starfish' hair. Now none of them replace anything.

There definitely will be pay hairs. I will guarantee you by the model on her front page, she is currently working through converting all her hairs to Sims 3. Then probably going to make the masses pay for them twice. Hell even Peggy's first free hair had "F" in it whereas the donation hairs did not. They were openly planning on selling their shit.

For what it's worth, I tracked down the original source of the bootleg Peggy hair:

http://cazy12341984.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!27AD4FA794BF4AFA!2470.entry

She seemed annoyed that it got spread around, especially to the Exchange (what did she expect? DUH) and took it down.

She also seems to imply that she's done further revisions since the version that was spread around but it's kind of hard to tell since her writing is very ESL. :P

I tried to read what she posted about that hair and didn't understand a thing, apart that's she's pissed off that this hairs got reuploaded.
She sure seems to know a lot about hair meshes and convertions though and is aiming for perfection and quality. That's promosing, I'm really impressed. She's currently converting other hairs (there's one by Ren in the works!). Let's hope she chooses to share her toys... One day; if she manages to actually finish them :D I'm mean that she has a lot of projects ongoing, it seems too much.


Title: Re: Well here we go, I present the first TS3 Pay items thanks to Peggy
Post by: Motoki on 2009 July 28, 00:38:10
Yeah and it looks like she's busy with other crap too like DDR and cyber dollies and such.

Oh, posted this at MATY but I peeked at the Peggy hairs in Milkshape for the shits and grins. Of course the dumb bitch did not bother to make LOD meshes. She just pasted the same high poly mesh in 4 times over. So even when the camera is very far away it will render her near 10k poly hairs although you won't be able to make out any detail from that distance. Waste of resources. She set them to spawn on townies too so that sort of compounds the issue.

It's very simple to make lower poly optimized version of your mesh too. It's seriously as easy as sliding a bar across.

From HP's hair creation tutorial:

http://www.modthesims.info/wiki.php?title=Tutorial:Sims_3_Hair_Basics

Quote from: HystericalParoxysm
Make your LODS

Now you also need to create 3 lower-detail versions of the same mesh. While you can remesh the whole thing from scratch with lower detail, there's a quick and dirty way of doing it that works okay... Tools>DirectX Mesh Tool. Drag the slider over to the left and you'll see how the number changes. That's your poly count. Click the floppy disk icon to apply changes. It may look kind of ugly, but the only ones that really matter is the LOD0 (used in high detail) and LOD1 (used in low detail and in the portrait pictures) - the others are only used when zoomed WAY out so as long as the overall shape still resembles your hair, it's fine if they're kind of fug.

For LOD1, you'll want about half the count for LOD0. LOD2 should have about half of that, and LOD3 should have no more than about 250 polys.

Reduce your mesh into each of the 3 lower poly versions, and after each reduction, save the result as an OBJ file.

Then, you'll need to do File>New and import your LOD0. Open up the comments and copy them, then delete the LOD0. Import the OBJ for LOD1 (2, or 3) and then:

    * Align Normals (it will have gone black)
    * Redo the bone assignments (Joints tab, assign to b__HeadNew__)
    * Reset the Extra Data (just fill in 255 for all, To All x4, Commit, Save All).
    * Paste the comments again.

Then export as LOD1. Repeat for LOD2 and LOD3, making sure to do the normals, bone assignments, comments, and extra data after each.

Oh and last but not least, the part we know Peggy always adheres to  ::)

Quote from: HystericalParoxysm
Test Thoroughly!

Put your mesh in-game. Put it on a sim and move them into a lot. Zoom in and out wildly. Check their thumbnail and portrait on the UI. Go into Create a Sim or Change Appearance and test how the colours work. Look at it from every angle. Have your sim animate - look up, down, side to side. If you notice any major issues, go back to your files and change 'em! Everyone makes mistakes, but don't make crap!

Another bootleg Peggy hair has surfaces via Cazy (http://cazy12341984.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!27AD4FA794BF4AFA!2477.entry) who converted that other hair.

You have to scroll quite a bit down for the link, but Sunhair at GOS (http://www.digitalperversion.net/gardenofshadows/index.php?topic=13552.msg378599#msg378599) repacked it without any of that nonsense.

http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?yqdgiqtitru

Supposedly doesn't replace anything this time. The creator says it's high poly (and this was after reducing the polys. Peggy's TS2 original was worse!) but there are poly reduced LOD meshes.

And I love how the Exchange like 5 minutes after some obscure hair file from Asia or where ever leaks out on someones blog they all have to go showing off their new toys and think they are so cool that they have a new hair. Except a bunch of other people have the same damned hair so not really unique.

And then the less resourceful people, which is like 75% of the damned board, whine and crazy and stamp their feet and beg and plead and go into a tizzy about how their life will just end if they don't get that hair!

Has anyone noticed the amount of content people take from MTS and share on Peggy's forum? There are several patterns there, and even the mod HP made to edit the texture of floor edges. And the people who re upload the stuff on there don't even change the file name, they still say MTS on the file name, so you know they took it. And of course, none of the mods seem to have a problem with it.

Someone should take some pay content from TSR that is in the booty and share it there, see if anyone says or does anything.

I've posted on Peggy's forums regarding theft of the Helper Monkey and my floor thingie.  And reported it.  I'll be raising a much louder stink soon if nothing is done.

All stuff made with DABOOBS (which Rose acknowledged in her big thanks message) are file share friendly.  So her pay stuff can be happily reposted without her being able to complain too much.  Of course, using Wes's tool means she shouldn't be selling it in the first place, but I guess she should read the fine print before just clicking through...

Quite a lot of the PeggyG stuff can be found at other sites. Usually it's just the creator cross posting, but there have been things like someone making a recolor set using one of Adele's meshes - and including that mesh in the download file, which is against Adele's policy. There is absolutely no respect for other creators over there, and it wouldn't be one bit surprising to see Peggy encouraging that disrespect.

Peggy's 'male' hairs always look feminine. Same for Rose. They admire the bishounen (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bish%C5%8Dnen) asthetic, apparently. :P

What's this "pirated" nonsense?  Doesn't their shiny new Sims 3 EULA say people can copy and redistribute?  Damn EA and their utter inconsistency.

I fired off a letter to EA stating how concerned I was about them linking to "pirate" sites on their forum (peggyzone) who is using software that she doesn't have  permission to use, to create and sell custom content ( WesH's tool). Also having pirated custom content from MTS on her site.  It goes both ways pirated cannot only be about paid content being shared without creators consent, it is ALL content being shared without creators consent. I also sent them a copy of their EULA incase they haven't had the chance to read it yet.  They wonder why nobody takes them seriously.

Hey guys, have you seen that rosesims has a limited-in-time free donation hair? Yes, after that date it'll become a donation. What a scam.

Now that reminds me of peggy... Ow how much shit she used to steer with her special hairs free for a couple of days. All those who missed them would spam the forums with sobby messages, begging for share ::) (Any1 haz the Independance hair pliiiiiz?!!11!!)

Probably stating the obvious that Maxoid/SimGuru Hydra is a complete moron, but anyways...

It really makes me angry every time I see nonsense posts like that.  If anything the first two and last of the sites linked are more offensive than the sites not linked to.

Rose:  Breaking ToU for free tools/History of sharing people's Paypal info (correct me if I'm wrong on this)/etc.

Peggy:  Modding Tool Thief/Breaking ToU for free tools/etc.

TSR:  The name alone is offensive.  Considering they still have thieves like Shakeshaft aboard, have shared people's personal info amongst their FA's, the sudden re-appearance of their stalking hacker still screwing over many people that even dare to try and speak out against them, and get away almost scott-free when the situations are seemingly forgotten by the majority... the fact of them being mentioned fills a lot of people with resentment.

At least the good part is Parsimonious has some spotlight there for a site that has always been 100% free... but the fact that if it wasn't for the unlinked sites like MTS, Simlogical, and MATY, just about all of those linked wouldn't even be in the spotlight.  Of course, asking anyone from EA to admit that is like asking a brick wall to move out of the way.  It's just not going to happen.  That's the main part that frustrates the heck out of me, when people don't get credit after all the hard work put into helping the rest of the community out, and Hydra, Drea, and the rest of EA are too stubborn and stupid to realize that.

Well without out us - the video gamers - they long since would have gone the same way as several other gaming companies that have crashed and burned over the last 10 years- Dear Dear idiots at Electronic Arts do ya remember ohhh Sega that went from being one of the top gaming software and gaming console companies in the entire fucking world  to a third party gaming software company that sells less than half of what they used to - Without the Sims fans who buy your shit games created by third rate programmers that you hire for a year (since you got rid of most of the long term innovative and talented programmers that used to work for Maxis) and the modders and programmers like Pescado, and Delphy and great creators like Adele, Augustin, and Nouk your little franchise and your stupid gaming company full of third rate sports games and crappy movie franchise games would have long since gone belly up. Other gaming companies where one of their games has creative fans making new shit are proud of the real fans (not Peggy who doesn't even crack her game open except to take picture) who work to improve the work of programmers and graphics designers


I will say to you the same thing I pointed out to TSR morons yesterday on my site. We are the customers and we are always right. Peggy, Rose, Liannaa, are all about as PG-13 as a bunch of street corner whores. Actually street corner whores are more PG-13 since they have to stay outside in all kinds of bad weather and tend therefore to wear more clothing than either Peggy, Rose or Lianaa's TS2 and TS3 models.

I do not understand what is going on and I know you all work hard to make people aware of the paysite shenanigans but for EA to post this just made me wonder why they would even link to any paysite when their are hundreds of free sites out there.

I guess the best thing to do is email them and let them know that at least one of the sites bring it above T for teen. I have and numerous others have tried to get on that list with no response. I guess this is their way of saying go ahead and steal and charge for CC we will honor you! But dare do things the right way and we will shun you!

That would be because every one of the Sim Gurus/Maxoids whatever the fuck they are calling themselves now has their hands in TSR's pockets or is all buddy buddy with TSR execs Steve, Thomass, and Johan - Steve the guy that really owns the place (Thomass is just his little puppet) used to be one of them so they are gold as far as the SimGuruMaxoids are concerned.  Of course paysites are going to get first notice by the official form or bullshit brigade service - they are willing to kiss ass royally to get there which means they do PG-13 or not..


 Kate and Jope and Suza from Simply Styling make the list because they are all pretty nice people- and remain neutral in the Pay vs Free Debate - they manage not to offend anyone and are amongst the few truly neutral (meaning that none of them are even registered at PMBD/MATY/Insim that EA or anyone in the Pay Sims Community is aware of) creators out there- most creators and site owners in the Free Community - support free sites and support what the EA EULA Actually says rather than what paysite owners and creators and the SimsGuruMaxoids want it to say.


They just assume that everyone in the Free Community that has ever joined PMBD/MATY and most of those that haven't officially joined either site  but still support the free sites rather than pay sites  supports arring software and filesharing which is not the case. Most of us don't fileshare or arr software. Paysite crap who needs it- Why get shit created by Lianna when you can have Bruno? Why get shitty Peggy hair when you can have Augustin or Nouk?


 EA is blinded by money and ass kissing as they have always been.

For the record, Rose's hair, well, the long one at least, is shit.  Really glitchy, big gaps appearing off and on, poorly colored.  I am glad she's trying, but it should be free when it's this shitty.  Well, it should always be free, anyway, but more so when it's fucked up. >:(


Title: Re: Well here we go, I present the first TS3 Pay items thanks to Peggy
Post by: dstar on 2009 August 01, 13:27:10
The deal is that neither Rose or Peggy is genuinely trying. It is one thing for HystericalParoxysysm to take all of her old hairs and all of Nouks and Fanseelambs hairs and convert them for TS3 and give them away for nothing at MTS.  She actually edits the meshes and changes them so that they fit the new Sims in Sims 3 so they look nice. Rose and Peggy both are charging for hairs that are little more than ports of their TS2 hairs which means if you bought those hairs from them when they were TS2 hairs, you are now paying twice for hair that has never even been edited which is why it looks like shit on fat Sims in TS3. The blogger that was doing all the ports of Peggy, Rose and Newsea Pay hairs is now actually releasing them. They have been cleaned up a bit  and had obvious problems fixed by a MATYian and are posted in Pudding Factory at MATY if you have to have the God Awful hairs from those two go get the free ones ported by someone else.


The ironic thing is between the new EULA and WesHowe's and Delphy's EULA's on the hair tools they can get shared all over the internetz and all Peggy and Rose can do is whine and make legal threats with no real basis.

I've been keeping a long list of Asian hairs here at MATY http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/smf/index.php/topic,16079.0.html

Most are bootleg Peggy conversions, but I just put one of the Rose 'donation' hairs up that someone posted a link to with a bunch of mirrors.

As HP said, by publicly acknowledging the use of Delphy's tool, Rose must abide by the terms of use that she accepted for it, one of which is anything created with it must be file share friendly.

Oh, I have to share what someone posted on peggy's site:

Quote
I also like free converted hairs like you guys.
But we should draw the lines on somewhere of this thread.
It is so weird that Peggy is just staring at this post.

I know many people can convert TS2 hairs to TS3. But in order to enjoy better quality itmes, we need some experts to do that. I don't want to lose Peggy even though she confronts many difficulties regarding some legal issue and technical background of her hairs.

I also can make clothes, customizable cosmetics and furniture. But I can't handle all those items with my poor specialty. Because people always want better items for the game.

Peggy has spent lots of times to create or convert items for the Sim2 and the Sim3. She really deserves to keep her work.

When it comes to the donation that is getting to be the target of the criticism, I have a different idea on it. How many people can last their work without any encouragement or compensation?  she will be really hard to spend her own time and make progress on her work if she gets nothing from her passion for the game.
I want to make her go further with praise and encouragement.

So to me it seems this person is saying no one should be converting Peggy's hairs because only Peggy is an expert on converting her hairs. And also the part about she needs donations to see that people like her work. Ummm, not a single person at MTS or GOS gets money for their work, but they know people like their work because they tell them, and use it, and share pics with the content in use.

Post by: dstar on 2009 August 11, 14:31:59
That is why she has a comments section and a guest book. That is why you put a little thank you button on your site. We should all quit converting Peggy's  and Rose's hairs because they are to much work to friggin fix in order to make them work properly. We all know creators that have edited and  fixed Peggy hairs back in the TS2 days. I have read threads where those people essentially stated that it would be less of a pain in the ass to just make their own hair rather than fixing  mediocre creators messes in the first place.

I proposed to do the same thing in the TSR smutty thread. Make a thread on the BBS and ask about why can't you link to MTS but you can like to TSR when they have content like this *insert any pic of smutty content on TSR, preferably Sims 3 content* Then post a link to the content on TSR so they can't say that isn't from TSR.

I really would love to see how the SimGurus respond to that.

Post by: millahnna on 2009 August 12, 03:16:20
Well since I don't have Sims 3 I haven't logged into the new section on the BBS or gone looking for content at all.  I'll have to make myself a list from the smutty thread and this one of crap to link to (I'm open to suggestions).  I'm on sort of vacation for another two weeks and suddenly can't get the WTF Editor to work so I have some free time to wreak a little havoc. 

I was thinking about the actually linking to adult materials thing in the fakenoob posts; if I post the link right away the thread will get yanked pretty quickly and then the proof is gone right?  So maybe I'll have to build up to it.  I think I'm gonna need some rum for this plan. 


Title: Re: Well here we go, I present the first TS3 Pay items thanks to Peggy
Post by: rum nate on 2009 August 12, 03:27:27
Well if they yank the posts, that just shows there is content on TSR not suitable to be linked on the BBS, with should mean no linking at all.

I know, in EA logic it won't work that way. They will just yank the posts and when asked about it either deny they were there in the first place, or give the general "TSR has great content for the game" type message.

I really think the reason they won't let you link to MTS on the BBS is not really because of adult content, but more political. We know there have been problems between MTS and TSR (Namely the Buggybooz scandal), MTS mods the game, allowing people to add to and change how the game works, and while they may not have a great relationship, Delphy and Pescado are in contact with each other from time to time about different things, and you can't like to MATY or us on the BBS. And EA probably sees it as TSR has been around longer than MTS, so TSR is the better site.

OK the plan is in motion.  I'm going with the week long build up to posting my links questions so I look legit.  Since I don't actually have the Sims 3 anymore (arred and discarded until it will run on my machine) I have to be careful on the factual details.  If you think you spot me, say hi.  Heh.

She also has been known to steal Poser hairs and hair meshes from other sources. Most hairs in TS2 were NOT created from scratch by the people who are the supposed creators. It is very hard to create anything but a very rudimentary and simple hair from scratch. It's far easier to modify a mesh someone else made it take it from another game or 3D rendering program.

I freely admit the TS2 afro I made was based on a Maxis mesh but at least I publicly acknowledged that. :P

As for the comment that Peggy is the expert at making hairs and people converting her hairs are messing them up, that is suich a joke! Her hairs are fucked up half assed shit full of problems. Ask anyone who has tried to convert it. Most of the people converting them are doing a better job because they are fixing her broken pay hairs and doing it for free.

True i do think peggy makes sure her hair is great for everyone. I mean i think she does have  the best hair but sometimes it takes up to like a month. Its worth the wait though because it takes pggy a long time to think up something that will make everyone want her hair . Actually i checked alot of sites and there not as great as peggies. peggy tries transfering sim2 hair creating really nice hair i mean it takes a true artist to take time. I mean there is websites that have hair but there not as wonderful as peggies and it is slightly harder downlode. So if you are wanting any hair sites this site has all the hair that makes people jelous

Bold added by me. Who the hell is jealous of Peggy because of the hairs she makes? I sure as hell aren't, and I'm having a hell of a time trying to get a mesh to work for me.

And I love this question posted in the suggestion board.

Hey. I was wondering what the best ways to earn PeggyG without spending any money are. Don't get me wrong, Peggy does a great job and deserves to be rewarded, but I'm 14 and my parents would not be too eager to let me purchase CC for TS3 with money, no matter if it's mine or theirs. I have done the fault finding activity, but I was wondering if there's anything else I can do or if there will be any in the future. Thanks so much ^_^

That second one was hilarious. That person writes well for a 14-year-old. How did they get so good at writing, yet failed so hard at everything else in that post? I do hope someone pointed that person to the booty, though. She [I'm assuming 'she'] would likely be a right pain in the phorum, but if she doesn't find the booty eventually she may end up talking her parents into letting her 'donate' or find a way to go around them somehow. That would suck, regardless of how loldum the person is.

Heres an idea someone thinks Peggy should do. She should make Pre-Paid cards where you can buy them (I'm guessing in a store). That way you don't have to worry about putting your credit card number online. I really would love to know how the girl who posted that idea purposes Peggy make the prepay cards and get them in stores to buy.

Nice if only we got more votes and peggy saw this because i think not  many people can out credit cards online and people buy alot more cards that on the computer which can give her more money to her downlodes

I think the latter. It didn't sound like she had any intention of ever releasing it. Really, when has Peggy ever been useful or supportive to the rest of the Sims community? Oh though it pains me to say this but even TSR makes some pretense of being supportive and useful to the community. Peggy doesn't even bother.

I honestly think that picture was a bullshit photoshop job. All you have to do is overlay some text that says Peggyzone over some screenshot of a meshing program and voila!

Prepaid cards would not work. 

Sailormoon, you would still have to pay with a credit card to get the prepaid card, which defeats the purpose of the prepaid card.  Unless you are planning on mailing Peggy a check and having her mail the prepaid card back to you, this idea will not work.  There really isn't any logic behind this because if you're using a credit card to buy a prepaid card, then why not just use a credit card to buy the items you want in the first place?

I think the pre-paid cards chickie is on par with the young lady I once met long ago.  Someone made a joke about making a sundial with glow in the dark numbers so you could read it at night.  She thought it was a wonderful idea and even when the problem was pointed out, kept insisting it was a great thing and she was sure there was a way to make it work if you just thought hard enough.

Sometimes I wonder what happened to her.  Then I realize she's probably in government somewhere.

Today the Spousal Unit heard one that tops the sundial girl.  He was in line at the post office.  At the window next to him was a sweet young blonde thing who wanted a box because she was sending a bunch of cash to Nigeria. 

The poor clerk was trying to explain that he would do it, but he could guarantee 100% that it was a scam.  She kept insisting it was a secure investment.

The Spousal Unit wanted so badly to ask if he could take her picture because no one could believe he'd actually met someone dumb enough to fall for one of those things.

Well the girl who came up with the ideas replied to my question to her (I'm rnate on there by the way). I asked "And how would Peggy get the cards made and then get them put in stores?" This was her response:

Quote
easy if she can make a site and downlodes im pretty sure she can create prepaid cards and i know you have to pay with credit but online its possible people cans teal it im not sayinf peggy would. Anyway in stores everything is secret

Ok, so lets see if I understand this right before I post again. She is saying because Peggy made a site and can make CC, she can make prepaid cards?  And then she is saying that when you buy something with your credit card online someone can steal that info, but if you pay with a credit card in a store, no one sees your info and no one can steal it? If so, she is very much wrong.

lol, rum nate I knew it was you as soon as I read the username.  I think we need to give up on this chick.  She isn't getting it.  As Dr. House said, Peggy fans defy logic.  I tried posting this,

Quote
Making a website and marketing a product like that are two entirely different things.  Peggy would have to PAY SOMEONE ELSE to make those cards that would be sold in those retail stores.  It's not like she can just print out little pieces of paper from her computer that say "PrePaid Peggy Card" and go to stores and ask, "Hi, can you put these in your store please?  Kay thanx bye!"

 but Peggy's Blinky-Rific site doesn't flow so well with Safari.  So I'm taking it as a sign to give up.

lol. I don't see any reason what so ever for them not to want to sell her pre-paid cards.  :D

ETA: This is that girl's response on how if you use a credit card in a store its secret:

your credit number your s.s secerity its secret and stores its easier because for some people parents they wont let them buy online so there is another reason why

And captaincaliena, I just posted what you were going to post, can't wait to see what people say about that.

Well your not smart ok because you think shes a little kid like you! Appearntly she can do what ever she wants and if she likes this idea she will! Your not her so stop telling me what she can or cannot do!!! if she wants to she will do the cards ok

I thought it was a perfect comment, and since you couldn't post it, I did. I'm going to eventually post something back to her, but I just find it funny I'm being rude just because I don't agree with her and pointed out Peggy can't make pre-paid cards.

This is a nice little comment that just showed up about Peggy's Hairs:

Quote
Thank you Peggy.

Thanks to Peggy, the time of my simlife is better than any other season.
A month ago, I expected that people would turn to Peggy and now trend are going well.
Even though some developers are still converting hairs, their works didn't have a enough quality to be adopted for the game.
Now Peggy are pouring her hair into the game for the users who have eagerly wanted more hairs.
Converting hairs from other developers will be replaced fastly.
But one thing I wanna draw the lines is that current sims3 hairs is somewhat old, right?
I hope get new hair styles like sims2.

So because Peggy has started releasing more hairs, people aren't going to want to download hairs any other people create because it isn't as high quality as hers?

And about the pre-paid card girl, two people posted telling her the same thing, Peggy can't make the cards and sell them(was it anyone from here who posted those?). The girl came back and told them off saying the discussion was between me and her, no one else.

Well, I think banks and financial regulators and maybe some lawmakers and some other folks would be interested in the little idiot's way of looking at it, but she's a rude little cunt, isn't she? And when it's aired on an open forum, it's fair game for anyone to participate in, or doesn't she know that rule about public posting? Hmmm, she seems pretty damn ignorant. Are you sure she isn't a 6 instead of a 12? And no, I don't mean show size. I mean IQ in her case.

Some of Peggy's hairs for TS2 were acceptable for certain characters, when they were fixed and retextured. In TS3 they look absoludicrous. All the Sims look like they're wearing very bad wigs.

Users can do a lot more with a little hair in TS3, too, with different color combinations and such. Plus the game isn't nearly as friendly to having lots of Sims as TS2 was. Also, apparently hair that isn't made well (all paysite hair) does very nasty things to your game.

Pre Paid Cunty sounds like some of the fucking stupid idiots I get as customers at work.

Sorry, kid, but the mother fucking pre paid card process isn't all sunshine and butterflies. It's hard work, and most sane and normal people outside China will NOT sell those cards. China itself, noone knows, there's more bootlegged items in China than fleas on a stray dog's ass. Bootleg and China are practically SYNONYMS. As far as Peggy's shit, we get enough crap in stores for 12s. IMVU, anyone? Made for 12s and those preppy valley girls sticking fake rhinestones on their things and calling it their bling. What the fuck ever. It boils down to nobody with an IQ is going to buy into those cards and n o reputable business is going to sell them if it wasn't to survive. So in reality, Pay Card Cunty can take her idea and shove it up her fucking ass. Besides, it's not a new idea. EA is selling prepaid cards for their shit-tastic store. I don't care if EA made the fucking game, it's extortion to me-- that shit should be in the game already, not sold as extra kibble.

So fuck Cunty and her idea. Grow up, my little 12, unless you can come up with some infallible business scam plan that can make it happen. OH. WAIT. I FORGOT. PEGGY IS YOUR MAGICAL BUTT BUDDY WHO CAN DO NO WRONG. Dumbass.

....Unrelated, I feel better about the retards in the world for now. :D

EA is selling pre-paid for their store and at least in New England   you can hardly find them anywhere except Game Stop and EB Games. Not at Wal-Mart, Target, CVS, Brooks, Rite Aid, Stop and Shop, Price Chopper- literally no one has them. If EA itself the people who have the legal right to make and sell pixelized borked shit for their game - is phail with pre-paid Sims Store cards for their stuff that they make- how the fuck does ickle 12'y Pooh figure Peggyzoned on Crack is going to manage it - with a wiggle of her nose and a wave of her magic wand (oh wait, Magic Wands were made by Dgandy a Sims Fashion Barn Creator and member of the Free Sims Community)

The Wal-Mart we shop at has a shit ton of store cards for the Store located on top of the display right above the games. And, get this, they still have the security devices on all of their copies of Sims 3 and Spore, which made me howl with laughter. One lady looked at me and asked what was so funny and I looked her right in the eye and told her that if anyone was going to STEAL those pieces of shit games, they'd go online and do it, not risk getting caught by store security.


Title: Re: Well here we go, I present the first TS3 Pay items thanks to Peggy
Post by: rum nate on 2009 September 08, 17:07:34
I guess it all depends on where you are on how abundant the store cards are. Here I have only seen them ar Best Buy and Target back when they first made them, but never there anymore. They have never been at Gamestop or EB Games here.

And Paden you have a point, if someone really wants those games without paying they are going to get them online.


As for the Peggy pre-paid cards girl, she has given up because everyone was being rude to her and everyone was accusing her of being rude, which no, we weren't, we just pointed out to her that it was not possible for Peggy to make pre-paid cards.

There is another thread where they are giving links to get Peggy's hairs for free, one of the links being to the booty.

I still have five of her meshes but none of her recolors (well there's a white one I must have kept for binning purposes since some folks leave out the elders).  I have no idea what they are though.  I haven't done a bodyshop purge since this reinstall so who knows what's in there.  If I ever finish fixing all of my buy/build binge and purging I'll get around to it.  I only use a few hairs in game anyway so I really should.
