TSR - a new low?

[Hecubus]

Today, TSR announced a new Featured Artist: Blackgarden.

Blackgarden is the proud creator of....

::::drumroll::::


FUNNEL HAIR!


I have NO IDEA why she got promoted...her stuff is utter shite. I wonder if she gives good head...no other good reason for Thomass to promote her! But, there it is.

[SmilingSweetly]

Oh noes!!! Not the elf in drag!!  :shock:

[Saraswati]

Ok, as weird as it sounds I can understand how this has happened. He just doesn't have the creator pool to draw on that he used to.. think about it this way, most of the really decent creators have seen the TSR threads at this point and think Thomas and TSR,umh, suck. This wasn't the case a year or two ago. So they're left with people who create boring game console replacements to draw on. :lol:

[euterpe]

Does that model really have a goatee, or is that a shadow?  Not that it makes any difference--that is the WORST hairstyle I have ever seen.  Ever.  Ever, ever, ever.

<must now drink coffee and eat cookie to get horrible picture out of mind...>  :roll:

P.S.  I would only give that hairstyle to a Sim that I hated so I'd feel better about killing them...

[Saraswati]

no, it's just someone who doesn't know how to spend a little time and model a realistic face in bodyshop.. that's ok, because even if they had, it would still look like shit due to the hairstyle.. :lol:

I mean there's a place for this type of hairstyle if you were doing Elvira Mistress of the Dark, but human hair does NOT naturally form that bump at the top when you do this to it.

[calalily]

She's bad.  Really really bad.  She also seems to have a hippie hair for men, featuring a black electroshock band.

I note that TSR didn't tout their close relationship with EA, what with not getting an invite to the Freetime preview.  :lol: Tom Ass's friends in higher places rap is stymied by happenstance.  

[Saraswati]

I noticed that this time.. they stuck to Snooty, which I have no complaints with because they are the kings of giving out reliable information and are at least free and the usual smattering of obscure European English as a Second Language sites..

We're actually not going to know EA's true attitude to paysites until we find out what the CC system is with Sims 3. If it's one which anyone can do and which encourages sharing again, then it's not so much that they're in any way a friend to paysites, they're just being "Auntie Muriel that doesn't want to get involved".. :lol:

[Paden]

Thomass has friends in higher places? May one believe that he has accepted religion of some sort into that sad, sordid life that he has? He has seen the light and love of a higher.... naaaaaaaah, couldn't be, he's still the same rat bastard we all love to hate! And he proved it by promoting the person who created the flattened cone-head...

[Requip]

Whats even scarier is there are over 600 downloads of the above.  :shock: And this one:



there are over 1,100 downloads.  :? So there are people downloading this shit.  

[Saraswati]

:lol: he's hiding the surgery scar from when he cut the top of his head open and took his brain out.. :lol:

Thing is, though, there ARE some decent creators there, so the pool isn't totally drained. However, I wonder if, like Mira, many of them have firmly said 'keep my stuff free or I leave'... in which case, you ARE only left with the bottom feeders.

Here's a much better similar hair for free by Kavar at insim:

I'm far to lazy to post a picture.

[Saraswati]

I think maybe a good solid chunk of the decent FA's are ones who've been around for a while on that site. And I know I'll get kicked for saying this because she's noone's favourite person around here, but I've always had a soft spot for Neptune Suzy's stuff, for example.

[calalily]

*Calalily shouts over the kicking she's giving Saraswati for that remark*

Kavar has good hair - I am currently rediscovering the joys of it, now that I've put hair into my game.

Anyone know how long that person been at TSR.

I only uploaded there about 1 and a half year when Steve asked me to be FA in Sims 1 ( when they still has that 'rotation'. ).
