LesserOr, that was a good therapy. I think I'm healed.
If you need more, I got a consultation from Mr. Crumples. He's under the third dumpster on the left. Remember to knock four times so he doesn't accidentally shiv you with a broken bottle.
On the one post up there on Savagesims, I have a link to Turbosquid. 1.50 commission, when they are charging an average of $30. Of course I have not seen her models, they must be real cheap low poly.
For clarity:
When HChangeri dramaquit, one of the things she claimed was that she'd take all her meshing skills away from the sims / post her sims meshes on Turbo Squid to make people cry.
This was the original TS store she put up then. Uploaded June-July.
Then in November she opened
a second TS store under a different name, likely because she dramatically changed her prices. Uploaded mostly in November, then on to the present.
I don't have an account there, so I don't know if members can see the amount downloaded on pay files. Regardless, the profit split with TS is 50% for anything under $150. None of her files are above $100, and...well...I actually don't want to dump on the quality of her work, rather on her behavior.
But if she hadn't been determined to downplay her profits for pity, no one would have known that she made "only like $1.50" off her TS stores.
I think you've managed to isolate the dichotomy that was giving me fits last night - it seems so super-nice of her to send a file-sharer her pay files until you realize that she's charging her fans for them.
Prime dramaqueen move.
Another thing to watch out for- HChangeri said this to one person in an email, so she'd feel free to claim that she never told Pescado to put "hosted with permission" on her folder. It's consistent with the behavior pattern, when you want to be seen as the victim.
It must be very hard to be a fan of RetailSims.
1. She throws a raving fit, calls you an ungrateful brat, and pulls her content.
2. She taunts you with things she doesn't intend to upload, and claims it's all the fault of people you don't even know. You have to beg her to come back.
3. She gives the files you paid for away to other sites for free, out of
kindness. Then she taunts you with the knowledge that others got them for free, and won't tell you whose club you'd have to join for the privilege.
4. She's not shy about how she spends your donation money on all sorts of things besides bandwidth, or that she makes a profit beyond what she needs. Despite this, she threatens to close the site if donations don't keep flowing, because she might make another "oops".
5. To one-up the filesharers, she offers to give all her payfiles away to them for free. She doesn't tell you this, because then who would pay for her meshing programs?
HChangeri doesn't think about speaking to more than one person at a time. She thinks only customers will see one rant and only filesharers will see another, even if all of them are on her front page.
It's even worse when you realize that none of this contradiction and stupidity I've noted was snooped or came from invading her blog- it's all out in public, where anyone can put it together for themselves.
