New MTS2 Rules

[Renegade]

idtaminger - lovely to see you again!    But I wonder why you're not psychic and can't see that RenegadeSims was going to post after you  :roll:

LMAO!! Yes, my site is one of those that will do Peggy hairs, too  But I'm a bit slower with things since I don't only recolour, but I try and fix up the meshes, too.  Right now it's only RoseSims' hairs, but I'm going to be working on some Peggy ones this week (assuming I finish the current mesh I'm working on)!

IEliminate - what if they don't use "peggy" or "rose" hairs?  What if they use Renegade fixed hairs - and much nicer-looking ones in my opinion - and don't pay a dime for it?

P.S. Now I'm confused.  Calalily - was that a kind of crack at me?  Or am I just...really confused?  :oops:

idtaminger - lovely to see you again!

Ah, thanks. I just came back a while ago from a semester in Europe. Haven't played Sims in a long time. Good to be back though.

[Apsalar]

Thanks, now you made me read everything you guys write as a song...   :lol:

You're really confused   It was sarcasm - and trying to direct idtaminger to your site - as you do recolours   Don't worry - if I have a go at you it won't be over something you have no idea about - and I usually do it with pictures.  I'm not usually (must make a caveat here just in case I go batshit at some stage in the future or past) so touchy as I get pissed at people for nothing

Lucky bugger hope you had fun.  At least I get to look at that avi. Gorgeous.

I'm not quite sure what you were meaning, and if I totally misinterpreted it I apologize, but I like edits and recolors of pay or free hair better than the original colours most of the time. I normally find those at MTS2 or SFV. If your site offers them (I haven't heard of a lot of sites) I'll go look there when it's back up.  :wink:

[Renegade]

I apologize.  I just don't seem to understand things or make sense anymore!

But Calalily - I assumed it was just sarcasm, but then I started reading it too much and it began to have secret meanings to me lol

And to IEliminate - yes, I do recolours and re-meshes (is that a word) of pre-existing meshes, i.e. if Rose or Peggy meshes have gaps and animation issues/no-animation, I try and fix those issues and upload fixed, animated (usually) meshes of the hairs, along with retextures and recolours.  Hopefully should be back up by July 30th, that's my goal.  If I can just fix the mesh I'm currently working on, things should go as planned.

But my original answer to you was ...confusing, even to myself.  I was just being dumb and trying to make a statement using a previous question and it just didn't make sense, I think.  That's just a guess because I really have no clue where I was going with that.  Don't mind me

[aSIMmetrical]

Step in the right direction, but still, where I am going to get retextures of godawful peggy haircolors now?!?!

I suggest http://rissa-styles.tevalon.de/ (and I'm going to check out RenegadeSims's site, too)

My newest shirt set was up at MTS2 for a couple of days, but just got shot back so I can remove my screen shots that show pay content.

And all the rest of my sets have shots with pay content, so all the work making pretty pictures to show off the sets has gone to waste.  How irritating.  xP

I guess it's the sacrifices we must make for the cause.  ;___;

[Duckie]

And Delphy deals the smackdown:

lpotter, may I ask why you say "all free" and then say your lots will still be donation only in the same sentence? Are you suggesting that you are somehow entitled to get money becuase of the time you put into making content? May I kindly suggest you put all items for free either on your own site or on a larger site becuase otherwise it's a smack in the face to people who spend days on a lot and give it for free when you think you are some better than them and can charge.

Another response by Delphy in the above linked post, (direct link to post):

flyingpigeon, No, we will not be advertising for "anti-paysites". We are taking a stance that people should use free content, not content-that-was-pay-that-somebody-happens-to-host-for-free. By using the latter you still send the message that paysites are ok becuase it has to be bought in the first place.

So, by providing the booty, we're sending the message that paysites are still ok. :|

[scribble]

I thought the meaning with everything was that all custom content should be free and noncomercial. That all stuff in the community should be free to use for everybody. Not a boycott of the stuff, just educating people that it´s wrong to pay for it.

[Alphess]

And all the rest of my sets have shots with pay content, so all the work making pretty pictures to show off the sets has gone to waste.  How irritating.  xP

My understanding is that past uploads that have screenshots of pay content is OK, it's only from here on out that uploads will be rejected for shots with pay...  So your past shots aren't a waste

[calalily]

That's Delphy's stance for MTS2 - and I think it's the right one.  Many people don't or won't use the booty on principle - but they might consider using paysites. So I don't think Delphy's policy is a problem, because it's essentially ruling that paysites are not okay, no matter what.

I was surprised to see recolors of a free Peggy hair mesh by Bruno.  I thought  if a site had pay items that even the free ones couldn't be recolored.  I obviously misunderstood.  I must learn to read more carefully.  :oops:
Is it true that nothing from TSR will be accepted?  If so, that is one of the best rules of the new policy.

Yep, it's true nothing from TSR will be accepted as any creator at the site could be promoted to FA at any time and then their meshes/objects would become pay items. (Of course if the creator from TSR allows redistribution of the meshes/objects with your uploads then they can still be used as people won't have to go to TSR to get the stuff.)

Ah, but MTS2 doesn't accept meshes included with recolours (unless you made the mesh yourself) so TSR stuff couldn't be snuck in that way either
