THANKS THIS IS GREAT

That first set looks like "The Sims for Kindergarten Children!"  The bright colors and all.  It's not all that badly done, just the colors are godawful. But, bright, cheerful, godawful colors are often very popular at TSR.  I think though, the set should have been called, "If Toddlers Ruled the World."

The only thing I will say in defense of it though, is that they might have showed all the different colors, to be able to show all color options in one picture.  Remember, TSR only allows one set picture and then one picture for each object itself. 

The second set just looks elegant.

I didn't know that, since I never uploaded at TSR, and extremely rarely have downloaded anything.

Wise of you.  There is a lot of fluffy, frou-frou at TSR.  I remember getting pissed about it once, and making a pinky-pink living room to test this theory.  Of course, it was quickly one of my most highly downloaded sets.  I was so happy when Paleoanth and I did the moderne kitchen set and were able to knock that set out of first place of my downloads.  The Moderne kitchen set was something I could be proud of.  And it didn't look like it was decorated by blowing up boxes of Klenex.

Isn't that annoying?  Making something to make a point and having that point completely missed?

Its in alot of ways worse then putting up something you made in 20 minutes and having it featured, while things you work weeks on gets overlooked.  Granted, I love that bloody CAS screen, but it didn't take me long to put together, once I realized I couldn't use pets or seasons while making it. Cheesy

That's always how it seems to work.  The Pinkypink set was made after having made a wood set that was hardly noticed after spending weeks.  I think the pinkypink living room was done in a couple hours. 

At least it wasn't just taking slider bars and changing hue/saturation until everything went from the color it was to pink.  I actually, like made new textures and stuff!

I'll admit, I usually don't do fresh textures - I'm better at meshing then texture [ though I suppose I could hand do a texture then scan it and clean it up...] I do however carefully select bits and do different things to different parts, and use multiply, overlay and sliders combined.

Amen. Before I discovered Nouk, I had *hundreds* if not thousands of hair files that were weird colors, complicated, and non-animated. AND they were ridiculously high poly. Now I've seen the light, and download simple hairs that move, have great textures, and way less polys.

My computer is on its last legs. Why torture it needlessly? But even if I got a supernew powerful computer I wouldn't go back to my old ways.

Hey Darq, all of my stuff was fluffy, frou-frou, pinky-pink, girly-girl, blown up klenex box stuff and you said you liked it. Did you lie to me? Grin

I beg to differ, De.  Your stuff is feminine and classy.  That is not the same as frou-frou.

No it it wasn't.  You used a lot of bold, contrasting colors.  You used reds and blacks.  The lines on your meshes were clean and sleek.  I never saw a room that you did that was one color.  You know the type of rooms I mean, you were at TSR for how long? Those rooms where even the shadows on the items were one color, like pink.  You decorate more like I would, if I didn't furnish my apartment in Early American Garage Sale. 

I didn't lie to you.  I was always envious as hell of your talent.  I still am.  If I could steal it, I would.  Same with Paleoanth.  I'd sneak out to where both of you lived and late at night, I would steal your talent, while you slept.  Like a ninja!  Cheesy

I agree. I've recolored your stuff, and I don't do frou-frou. Your stuff is awesome.  The meshes lend themselves to multiple colors and patterns. (lets just ignore the pink poodles that are one of my top downloads)  Wink

Little girls looove to play the Sims.  That explains the popularity of a lot of downloads.

Has anyone else seen this at MTS2?

Okay, so, turns out that when I said I didn't think we'd lost any data, I was incorrect.

The primary drive from chii had a ton of read write errors on it - so much so that currently all downloads past mid-october last year (when the server was first setup - remember, we moved servers back then) are basically toast.

The backup drive has so many read write errors on it that it wont even boot the machine with it plugged in and it just goes to kernel panic mode.

As it stands I have managed to recover most downloads prior to Mid-October last year (some 127gb worth), but anything after attachmentid 826742 is gone. I am not entirely convinced that *all* downloads prior to then are intact and am investigating further to see how many prior to that date are ok.

Suffice to say I am extremely annoyed at the situation and beleive that there may be some other hardware issue on Chii becuase to have 2 drives fail so utterly is extremely rare.

I'm going to see if there is a way of getting the primary drive looked at professionally to see if we can recover any more data, but right now it's not looking hopeful.


I'll bet Thomas is laughing his fat petty bourgeois a$$ off.

I saw that. It certainly sucks. OTH, maybe a good cleansing will help. Just trying to find the silver lining here.
