Our winner? Vita Sims. Expect to pay $401.20 US for all 85 sets.

ZOMG!  :shock:

Just to think.. somewhere out there is someone who paid that much. And likely there's one who did who's also complained that Maxis charges too much for their EPs.


I gotta say that's just sick! The last thing anyone with a seriously ill child should be doing is sitting in front of a computer, making sims stuff.

Well, I can see making Sims stuff in your downtime but I gotta agree with the other person who said that when you have said sick child that you're not likely to have much time to put into making stuff, testing it, taking screenshots, zipping them up, coding them into a website, promoting the website, hanging out on forums pimping the site, aaand still have time left over to make heart-tugging anims of your sick baby to rake in more donations. It does smell a little fishy. No, I don't have sick kids... I have 3 very healthy ones and as such, I barely have time to play the Sims much less make stuff for them. It's the reason you don't see me around here more: When I do have free time I tend to prefer to spend it playing the Sims rather than talking about them.

And to use that child to try to get money from people. That's just repulsive.

The perverse witticist in me can't help pointing out that charities have been using sick/underpriveledged children for years-n-years to milk the public for donations. :mrgreen:

Having recently been to that site, I wouldn't donate to it even if I wasn't against paysites. Every other link I clicked led to a SQL server error. Sending money to a site that's so broken almost insures you're not going to get your money's worth.

One thing I've always disliked about TSR is how they've artfully mingled the crap downloads with the decent ones. I dunno if this is a deliberate attempt to slow down subscribers - I can't help thinking it is - but even if it isn't set up to do that, it certainly has that effect. It takes ages to weed through the ugly, unskilled recolors to find the good, worthwhile content. I know it's always been this way, since Sims 1, but man. What a sucktacular way of doing things. Crap content = the appearance of more downloads, even if half of them are things no sane Simmer would ever want near their game. Arr.

Sounds like you had a crappy host. I've got a high-traffic website myself and have had a heckuva time finding a good, stable host at a fair price. After nearly 6 *years* I found one I mostly love. If you're interested in checking out their plans or whatever IM me.

Sorry your host sucked but it's good to hear you got a new one.

Arr! That was fun!
