I didn't think it was possible to make EA Content look worse than it already does- and TSR creative contributors are moderated - they quality checked this supposedly - or maybe Spaik was asleep on the job when this one came through.
Fiesta Collection- I don't know of a single person in any country that holds fiesta's that would ever wear that- even the cheap pinatas that you buy at WalMart aren't that rainbow floodfilled.
You don't worry about having to go pee in them because any woman wearing that type of lingerie intends to have it taken off rather quickly- not for everyday wear - TSR being TSR I would not be surprised however that the content was also found under everyday wear since much of the clothing I downloaded from their during my time in hell was categorized for areas it didn't belong in.
What I would do is make the canopy separately but repository the hangings subset repository to the bed so that bedding recolors would show up on the canopy if that is possible.
Not a problem- I am pretty sure that Snarky's stuff is okay to use in lots as long as they are not going on a paysite (esp TSR) or the Exchange. He has been around a bit lately, you might try pm'ing him about it since he has not uploaded his creator profile at Sailfinsims yet.
Snarkys stuff is posted at http://www.sailfinsims.com. His creator policy should be posted under the Meet the Creators section however; I am not sure if he has gotten around to completing his creator profile yet.
You can sign up and get an account for Paypal without a credit card, I don't have one because I don't like the thought of paying 15% interest on a pack of gum or a video game for the next 6-7 years- but I do have a Paypal account- what you do need is a valid bank account - you cannot get a Paypal credit or debit card without a previously existing credit card but most Paypal transactions from companies like TSR that accept Paypal - all you have to do is enter your email and password.
I am actually less likely to trust the people that are all shiny- the shiny ones are usually coated in pan spray or covered in Saran Wrap and Trash Bags to keep the shit they are covered in from sticking.
Now if I could only find a dress that was ugly enough that did not come from TSR for testing purposes- since I prefer pkg files and stuff not made with the workshop- maybe Stylist Sims has something ugly enough on their own site
True- which of course leaves us with the same issue we are faced with with XMSims, - if there is no donation content on their TS3 sites is the TS3 site still considered pay- if the TS2 and TS1 sections of the site still have pay content on them. Of course I have my doubts that Lorandia and Liana are the same person- Lorandia's site design is horrible in comparison to Lianaa/Annamarias sites, and given that every other Bodyshop content creator pay or free uses Lianaas meshes for their clothing it is completely illogical no matter how greedy the woman/man/whatever is to assume that every pay creator that uses a Lianaa mesh is in fact Lianna..
I am not certain if all of Lorandias donation content has been released as of yet.
If all of her donation content has been released there is one rule at PMBD regarding free content. That rule is that we don't bash free creators on PMBD. We are anti-paysite. The opposite side of this coin is that we are also pro--freesite, meaning we don't publicly bash or critique a free creators stuff- if its free and we don't like it, we keep our mouths shut and simply don't download it, after all it costs you nothing.
It also doesn't matter WHY Lorandia went free, whether she went free because it was the right thing to do, or because her stuff wasn't being downloaded, or because Pescado locked her in a closet and tortured her with hand puppets and repetitive playing of Neil Diamond records, it really doesn't matter- She is free now and that is the important thing- not the why.
