Official Survey: They're going to sell individual downloads!?WTF?!

[Kragey]

CC creators have really spoiled me in the texture department, so even if a Maxis hair had a really cool mesh (which I don't see happening), the crayon-drawing texture would put me off. That, and the fact that it's from a paysite. Ick.

[Paden]

They could kiss my ass but I don't know where those lips have been... And nice to see you again after you've been gone, Soggy Fox, you've been missed!

[Mheyin]

I wonder if they'll give refunds to people if they lower the price.




HAHAHAHAHHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! /snort /giggle /wipe tears

Oh god, that was good.

[Piratey]

sims 3 isnt looking too good now.

Wait-a-minute?! Someone was actually going to consider buying The Sims 3? You must not!

ROFLMAOLOLOLOLOLHAAHAHAHAHA

*ahem* Why yes, indeed.

[RedLove]

I was gonna buy TS3. I actually have to have it because I can't leave out things in a set. Part of the reason I have Sims 1 and all of it's EPs gathering dust on my shelf right now. Never played them...probably should.

It's possible that many people here are not planning on buying it, but I'd be willing to bet that millions of other people still are. As for me, I know how to torrent.    I must play TS3 just to see what it's like, but unless EA gets their act together, they don't get any more of my money. It's a relatively minor protest considering their sales numbers, really, but I feel like it's a stand I have to take if for no other reason than paying a company to fuck with my computer...well, pisses me off.

I'll probably get Sims 3, unless, of course, that 12-step program for Sims that I'm going to join actually works for me.

Ah yes torrent. I've downloaded the last couple of EPs from a website. It's always worth buying the mother copy of the sims and then torrenting the EPs.  I think we should all send EA thank you viruses.

[meowbark]

Aye, I doubt I will even BUY TS3. I would torrent like mentioned, but I don't know how I would play it without the CD. Someone explain please.

Anywayz, we all know EA is the new internet Asshole. Screw 4chan.

Meowbark: you'll need a CD crack. Most torrents will come with one (along with a keygen or a list of serial numbers), and instructions on how to use them. Unless they are shitty torrents, that is. 

Not that I *cough* advocate piracy or anything. Ok, in some cases, I do. 

Generally speaking, you would replace the original .exe in the installation directory (in the case of TS2 base game, that would normally be C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\The Sims 2\TSBin) with the cracked version. You can download cracks in a variety of places, including (but not limited to) torrents that contain isos and the like. Then, whenever you run the game, run it off of the cracked .exe rather than the default one. This should work for pirated games, if that's how you like to do things, but it also works with legitimate copies if you just don't want to have to use your disc.

Also, 4chan will always be the asshole of the internet, and that is why I love it so.

[SoggyFox]

Hi guys!  Sorry to have been gone so long - just not been quite as active with the sims the past months.

And I haven't bought an ep in a while, and I think the last stuff pack was family stuff?  Or maybe it was glamour stuff.  Anyway, I finally got tired of it, and besides the true pirate in my family insisted.  With the current state of afairs, I don't feel at all bad though.  If they want to continue with the short sighted business model, then they can lose my money - they want to treat me like a valued customer, then I'll be glad to return to buying from them.

[Zazazu]

Look for torrents by Demonoid or ViTaLiTy. They always include cracks. And don't post your email like that. Spambots search the 'net for @ signs.

Aye? I don't think I understood that, eh. I can google it and most likely find it. I pirated Photoshop and numerous other thing's as it is.

4Chan is a hellhole, I've been there, even though it's a hellpit. I luff it x3

But what pisses me off is the quality of these shitty EA pay items. I mean freesites have been recolors of most of these, I looked through the site. Who WOULD want them? I saw the pay items just now, I think I just shat my pant's laughing.

Hmmm... *edits email out*

[dietofworms]

I got the downloads from a MATY thread, and I think "free" is too much to pay for them. 

[glasscigarette]

I agree with Zazazu. I have always had excellent luck with Demonoid and ViTaLiTy torrents. I have used several others that came with good instructions, cracks, keygens, bonus content and the like, but these two are consistently good (and tend to have a lot of seeds, too).

Meowbark: PM coming your way.
