Shouldn't the word 'plagiarized' be used instead of 'stolen?' When Black Pearl was accused of stealing, I wasn't quite sure how she could actually steal a digital creation without hacking into someone's computer and taking a file without the permission of the creator (and that's a whole different can of worms).

And in this particular case, said plagiarism was quickly fixed; she failed to give credit to the originator of said mesh and corrected that situation when asked to. It seems to me that if a mistake was made and corrected when it was pointed out, there's really no need to keep harping on about it; it makes the 'accuser' sound petty and childish.

That's a good thing about publishing oneself on the Internet: mistakes can be immediately corrected at the source instead of having a wait for a retraction to be printed out and distributed.

I'll give him this much: he's at least making an effort to sound reasonable and civil in that thread towards me. I sincerely doubt we'll ever come to an agreement, but it's rather refreshing to not have it descend into petty name-calling and personal insults.

I wonder how long it's going to be before that thread is locked/split for being off topic.

Yeah, that doesn't really sound like you were referring to one specific person, darkangel. Sorry. He may have made the accusation, but you agreed with him about it. That makes it look like you have a pretty poor opinion of people on Sims File Vault and those that frequent 'the Fish's site.' At the very least, you weren't exactly clear on what you meant (that you were talking about one person on one of those sites).

Perhaps someone should post a topic about popcorn and it'll eventually make it's way back to talking about paysites.  :lol:

'Thanks...dinner...shit.'  :lol:  Well, if you ever ate at my house, you've pretty much got the whole conversation covered.  

I think Maddox kind of proved that when he signed the petition someone started to get himself thrown off the Internet.  :lol:

I'm wondering why Alcoholics Anonymous would even care about something like this.  :lol:

Seriously, though, could someone kindly spell out what AA means in this context? I'd appreciate it. Thanks.

Couldn't there be an amicable compromise? As in: you speak with these free site creators and request that you be permitted to make said meshes available in the event that their sites become unavailable for whatever reason (with full credit given and links to the site provided)?

I'm certainly willing to undergo this. You can find my Self Sim in the MUA thread at MATY. A pic of the Seasons Sim Denimjo:

That's about it in a nutshell, Lorelei. Here, have an internet cookie.

Not necessarily. Look at a lot of free stuff on TSR.  :evil:

Yes you can. In fact, I wrote up a tutorial about how to do so (with version 0.58) on how to change both the appearance and genetics of NPCs using SimPE. You can find that here.  Take a look to see if it's what you're wanting.

If, however, you want to change just one aspect of a Sim to something else (instead of making their genetics the exact same as another Sim's), that I can't help you with. You'd have to do some more research on that. :(

Because pedophilia is only a black mark against you if you don't run one of the most popular and free Sims 2 sites in existence, apparently.

Calalily...you're killing me here! :lol:

Oh wait...does your file have a built-in self-destruct mechanism that will automatically activate in two weeks, forcing the user to repurchase?  

Which solgan is catchier, do you think?
