I didn't mind TSR at all when they had everything on a fair rotation.  The subscription simply bought the perks of no ads and download anything any time.   Once they started ringfencing certain downloads it was a different ballgame.

The actual files themselves have only gotten bigger fairly recently in gaming history terms.

The whole Sims and packaged lots are huge downloads compared with anything you could get in Sims1 days.  I can only host one or two lot creators at a time on Simlogical Smiley

So, having read that copy of Walt's announcement, it seems Walt *is* connected with Kathy and Eric in some way.  Would some anonymous businessman who picks a site to buy off a site advertising list know anything about their personal circumstances, or be interested enough in the ex-owners to be bothered to try and defend them?   And even if they did tell him a sob story, he only just heard of them like a few hours before he decided to buy - how does he think he knows them well enough that they're not exaggerating etc?    Sounds to me like stupidly he's letting slip he thinks he knows them better than their long-term fellow community friends did.

This is smelling even scammier now.

I want my donation money back.

Okay okay okay!  But I want to watch someone *else* fight, not have one of my own.  I only just recovered from the battle to stay in the Senate  Cheesy

Neriana, I think you are trying to pick a fight, but I am not going to do it in this thread, sorry.

Yes but you will lalways get a warning firts

Good point Pineapplebrain!  (Love the handle lol)

Kenmtl, oh I see!  That type of spawning.

Do you think if people asked real nice like, TJ could be persuaded to add spawning options to the Bender?

If you're talking about teleporting (making sims appear on the lot suddenly) then he previously said he would not because my teleporter already does all that.  However if having to have both objects on the site is a huge problem for ex insimenator users I will let TJ know I am happy for him to combine my teleporter code into his blender.

Scotty's a 12?

The beige status is looking a bit more hopeful now.

But Tamarind, that is not how it would be.  The Insimenator forum has a huge contingent of 12s who will continue to be tricked out of their pocket money and click on ads.  They won't understand the issues.  The bridge needs burning.  In fact I would have put the burning at higher priority than the pillaging.

On the other topic, Jase did end up regretting some of his approach in the InTeenimator.  He spent almost as much time helping other hackers get their stuff to work with his as he did working on the InTeenimator itself!  Cheesy  I remember struggling to get my clotheschanging mods to not make his teens the wrong shape, and in the end it actually put a halt to me making clotheschange mods altogether.  I only started again when he had semi-retired and people were beginning to abandon inteen.

TJ on the other hand when he made ACR decided not to go the overrides route, but to bolt his options on as extras.  This is another way of avoiding clashing hacks.  But another way is to simply have a tacit understanding of where one might overlap and avoid it unless essential.  Obviously if one modder is doing such poor work in the area that the community is suffering from lack of service, then sometimes you do just have to stomp over it.

Make what you want. Let people choose what to use. Seriously, your post is straining my wtf organ.

Attitudes vary.  I am as entitled to mine as you are to yours.  wtf back at'ya.

Some posters understood that I was talking about game override hacks, not objects.  You can have any number of similar beds without problem.  However, when a popular hacker makes a huge single-download bundle of hacks that include almost every known BHAV in the game, it effectively makes it impossible for the less-technically minded downloaders to opt for getting some of their hacks elsewhere, due to the complexity in unbundling the directors' cut and even in some cases disassembling single packages that have more than one behaviour mod in.

It would make more sense for TJ to just finish adding to the Blender what it needs.
He would be the most logical to carry on the work but he's also said there's some stuff he won't put in it, some stuff that I know I use the Insim for.  But the Blender comes very close to the insim, that's for sure.

He said he won't put in the stuff my teleporter already covers.  That is because unlike some people, TwoJeffs is not trying to set up a monopoly and is respecting other creators' areas of work.

How come I have Brynne's avatar?  It's true I was messing in my profile trying to fix my sig but I don't remember choosing that avatar

There was talk of someone simply snagging the Insimenator and updating it without Eric being involved, but I can't remember who suggested that. I'm usually not keen on snagging other people's work and editing it, but I somehow suspect Eric doesn't care anymore, and neither do we.

It would make more sense for TJ to just finish adding to the Blender what it needs.  He only stopped before because Eric suddenly reappeared.  I would think rather than Pes dropping his other work to take this on, let TJ carry on where he left off.
