It seems the ones I liked got mediocre, quality went down. Must be that they had to suddenly mass produce daily to get a paycheck, and have to cut corners.
I use to really like Sim Addict when I was a paid subscriber. i had serious problems with her indian series, some of the items worked some didn't. Her foods crashed my game when i would go find a job for a sim. once I took them out of the game no crashing. Her pillows didn't work in that one set she made during the Indian Series. Also that Storybook matching set had to be one of her worst textured sets, and was ugly. Her garden plant never worked right with the latest version of CEP.
Windkeepers helios windows sets are messed up. They dont all work in all the EPS.
Cashcraft was consistent and took her time
.She would correct things and notify us.
Sunair many of her sets I just could not get into with the exception of her stationary set. I just couldnt picture many of those meshes in my sims houses. Occasionally thered be a small decor item. My sims did not like her synthsizer pianos and want to play it.
I liked Padre till the Oakley Series. I could never get that to work in the game. its also like how many dining sets do I need? Seems its easier for them to whip out modern dining sets.
Liana I think she needs to retire. Her designs are lukewarm, predictable, and not ones my sims would wear.
Aikea Guinea I loved her stuff but something happened her inspiration seemed to wane her latest sets were kind of like of what she had already done. I find accessory issues with her new necklace meshes. Its inconsistent one sim could wear the necklace, another sim couldnt it would be blue even after taking it off and putting it back on.
Steffor I find her sets there disappointing nothing I would use in my game.From the pics they look really low quality and would seem out of place in my hood.
A lot of Sims 2 Sisters hair didnt work in my game I have all EPS. Their clothes didnt look that great in my game.
Jirka and Chaz sims looked liked their stoned! Chaz's hair is horrible in game I never use it.
Theres more I could say but I really think the fresh inspiration, of many of the FA is gone. Looks like mass producing for TSR is burning em out.
I know I could say more but you get the idea.
The picture presentation may look great on TSR, but the actual game performance are two different things. Its like a few days ago I set up a bakery I had part of exnems foods, and lots of free foods from MTS2 in it.
WHOS food do you think the sims were enthralled with? The free food, it smelt good, the wanted it. It also restocked right. Exnem's never restocked right. And when I was moving one of his sundaes it was cloned from cereal...Dont get me started on this Im still trying out his new sets. Not very impressed right now. so just because a paysite has great looking pictures, pictures can be decieving, like buying an item out of a catalog, and when you get it, it is not what you were promised.
