Paden we will very happily work with TSR if there are any future concerns that come up with the tool, don't worry.. Snarky, I respect you guys and I always will-RYG is just here to help gamers regardless of the side of the pay/free debate they're on..

 For the rest, I've pretty much said what I need to say, and I'll bow out at this point and leave you guys to discuss this further.

Paden, I don't agree with you. The tool itself is totally free and if it's safe and TSR isn't claiming any ownership over the stuffs you make with it, it just comes down to personal preference whether someone wants to use it or not. The majority of the free community will always use Delphy's tool, the TSR creators will likely use their tool. It's better that the folks who use the TSR tool have a safe tool to work with. Pescado and Inge have both said "tools are just tools" and personally I agree with them.

Hi HeyBubbe

What we need in order to have Mac instructions for SecuROM is to have Mac people join RYG and help us put them together-if you're prepared to help us, that'd be lovely. It seriously bothers us that we've got nothing for the folks with Macs, but if we can get a couple of you guys to get involved and help us, I'm sure the issue can be resolved.

Hi Paden

For myself, I'm a happy free creator who won't charge for her stuff and who doesn't upload to TSR-this is something different and seperate.

All we've done is just worked with the facts of the tool, pure and simple. Which has allowed us the chance to work with them and ensure the tool isn't damaging in any way. Which is more in the interests of the guys who DO use the tool than yelling at them and achieves more. We're independent of any other site and impartial of any political issues, same as always. We can't magic a virus like reaction in the new version of the tool if it isn't there-we can only tell you what we've found after a lot of technical investigation. If we were pretending there's an issue with the tool itself when there's not, that's shady behaviour.

It's the same as we've been working with a couple of different DRM developer on and off for a few months now to make their programs more user friendly. When it comes to technical issues, we're primarily interested in an end result which is in the interests of the majority of people.

This is exactly right, and we strike this in a different form on RYG/Prism a fair bit.. we get people coming our way who use Macs who aren't happy that we don't have Mac removal instructions. The problem is none of the staff own Macs, so how can we program for them or set up troubleshooting instructions? We did however communicate that need directly with someone at Sony DADC and they were apparently going to set up some instructions.

When it comes to the tool.. Thomas and Johan have actually been very happy to work with the staff over at RYG/Prism to try to nail down the things that aren't working. And it's borne some fruit, anything that people can specifically find wrong with that tool has now apparently been very quickly fixed. It's important to split up the things that TSR does from the things that we're just suspicious of.. And if the tool is now ok, it comes back purely to personal preference whether people want to use that tool or prefer to use Delphy's. *shrug*

my god Snarky, you're on a roll with those meshes. Good work.

  very nice and much better than the ordinary looking default art gallery..

  downloaded that house.. and I particularly like the pink bedding, it goes beautifully with that pattern, I downloaded that too.

Ah Dr House, thank you so much for letting me know that one.. It should be fixed, let me know if it's not.

I've got a Damask one done in both formats that I just need to test in-game to ensure it shows up.. But I want to make sure I give you guys at least a couple of patterns in one go.. And as I'm an absolute nut for Arts and Crafts stuff, I'm working on trying to simplify William Morris' Snakeshead enough so I can get a variation of it into the game.(It has substantially more than four colours and requires a fair bit of cleaning up)..

Oh and I'm going to be doing a tute on doing patterns with the Gimp.. the one on MTS is good, but it just needs drilling down a bit more so it's easier for folks.

by the way, after some confusion with someone who's used to installing patterns the MTS way, I've provided the fluer de lis pattern in package file format too, and I'll be doing that from now on. (I have some more coming in the next few days that I'll post)

Paden I'll have to see if I can still find her bio here. She also has an astonishinly beautiful voice.. Like one of those old 50's divas or something.

I think the thing that struck me in life about her Paden, is the fact that she's just so elegant.

  oh my god.. I love that set from guatla.. It's just so romantic. Downloading now.

SF if you can get some use out of it, do so.. It's there to be reused, mangled, folded, whatever..

On the subject of Bill Shatner.. (who of recent has turned into my favourite talk show host) we went to see Supanova in Sydney because Nichelle Nicholls was speaking.. and when a fan phrased a question about Bill Shatner's singing career, she fell off her chair because she was laughing so hard.

Try saying that twelve times fast..  

By the way, CookiePirate and Sailfin Dragon, just gorgeous on both counts! Where can I download your house from CookiePirate?

I just uploaded my first TS3 custom pattern-it's a fluer de lis set with burgundy, purple and green colour options. I hope you like it.. You can get it here. It's fine to reuse the texture for whatever. http://sublimesims.net/

note, these are done using TS3 Workshop, they SHOULD just install straight into your game. Let me know if you have any issues with the file and I can look at whether I need to do them using Delphy's tool instead.

Drool!@Aikea Guinea's pattern..
