New MTS2 Rules

[Feverish]

EDIT

Feverish,
rule 2 applies mostly to houses and sims. If there is, say, a sim that is shown with peggy's latest pay hair, that hair is not necessary for the sim to work. You can change the hair if you want. However, the sim will look very different without it. That's why the sim, in the picture, should be put in a hair that the downloader *can* get without paying.

Ok I understand now. Thank you very much for explaining that to me.

Congratulations to all the staff at MTS2 for the new rules - my admiration for your work only grows!   Keep up the good work. Arrr!

[Anouk]

Good stuff!

If EA decides to support paysites, does this decision still stand?

[Delphy]

Nouk: Hell yes

[Paleoanth]

Thanks Delphy! This will certainly be a huge blow to paysites in general and TSR in particular.

[RedLove]

This will cause peggy and rose major butthurt. I see recolors of their hairs (mostly pay) a lot!   Yay for Delphy *Gives him a cookie and some Juicy Juice and/or Rum*

Nouk: Hell yes

<3

That is all.

Hey, what awesome news! That's fabulous, Delphy!

Now, onto the actual important stuff though...where are my free laptops and panties and kitties etc etc  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:

Hells yeah!  If you remember you probably don't I raged "war" with elmazz sisters over them uploading stuff on mts2 with screen shots of models loaded with pay items.

I remember that, actually. Isn't that the time when they stormed off in a huff, saying something along the lines of "fine, if you don't appreciate us enough then we're gone from MTS2"? And the only reason they ever uploaded that eyeset was to advertise everything else on the model. Feh.

Yep.  Actually, it was the lipstick but they did upload an eye set shortly before to do the same thing.  Notice they're both things that don't require meshes and are very simple.  It's easy to make them look okay aka better than default EAMaxis.  Okay is obviously not the same as good and great like Bruno's lipsticks and Barcelonista's eyes..

I refused those pox blankets a mile away.

MTS2 has always been my favorite. And every day brings more love. Excellent policy change. It has always made me very uneasy to see paysite creators from TSR advertising on MTS2. (Here are the recolors, get the mesh from TSR. Gah!)

Yes then digging through the rubbish not to find it,
or it cost you (Too Much) be it on tsr or some of the other paysites out there,
most of it is ugly anyways, especialy the crap on tsr.

I like the new Rules but it's going to take getting use to because it's kinda hard of finding the free hairstyle that is just as good as pay hair (We All know that Nouk hairs is freakin Awesome btw!!!) but what about the hair style that you want for your sims to look good? Other than that the rules are superb. Hopefully I am learning to start and trying to create great meshes just like nouk's for free!!! and this will hurt paysites and that's a good thing too!!!

Indeed, I've seen the recolors as well.  I visit ModTheSims2 everyday looking for stuff.  (I'm a total download whore.)  There used to be tons of them... Peggy hair, especially.  This will definitely give Peggy & Rose a kick in the arse.

Try XM Sims. Free, lovely hair.

[Zazazu]

XM Sims is the bestest (not that I don't like Nouk's...I do, it's just a volume thing for me).

So, I didn't notice it in the rules, but say I want to post some recolors. The mesh file is on TSR as a pay item, but it's also on the creator's 100% free site, because we all know what asshats TSR is about not relinquishing files. 'Tis ok to link to the creator's freesite file and not mention the evilness, right?

*In this specific instance I'm referring to my own recolors of Echo's 1x1 floormat, which I'll be submitting this week (seriously, can I procrastinate a bit more?), but a general rule is good.
