TSR: In Ur Accounts, Deletin Ur Stuffs!

[Darqstar]

Oh, I'm sure TSR will give you several choices. 

[calalily]

Love that!

Other than that, trusting that Thomass & Co. would do ANYTHING that's not in their own self-interest (which usually runs opposite of the what's in the best interest of the rest of the sims community) just doesn't seem wise.

I would have to agree with this statement. I know that coconut is only offering past incidents as a reason to be cautious, but TSR hasn't changed their tactics in a while, and so I think caution is wise here.  Of course, if people choose to throw caution to the wind, and then find out later they chose wrongly, they may not be able to take it all back. 

[Paleoanth]

I agree with Cala and Snarky.  I might just wait until Pescado and the others get it sorted out. 

[rum nate]

I love it too. I really like that the X is not click able, so you have to make a choice.

Bit-O-News From TSR

We are happy to report that our Workshop tool is progressing nicely. Much of the necessary research has been completed and we have begun the process of putting it all together and to make some magic happen. In an effort to speed things up and make sure the community gets to see custom objects in the game sooner rather then later, we have decided to make the backend part of this project open source. Together with the likes of Delphy, Inge_Jones, Peter L Jones, Echo, jfade, atavera, Mootilda and Karybdis (to name a few, others to follow) we will pool our knowledge together and solve the challenges ahead of us as a collaborating team. More updates to follow

What? Pescado wasn't invited to their tea party?

[dstar]

I'm sure Inge with her dislike of TSR is sooooo (not !) happy to be paired up with them in their little " Let us all work togever to makes the Sim Nation a happier wittle pwace with tea cakes and DOT lamps"

[Paden]

Pescado already said they're using Jfade for his name, that the guy is totally in over his head and doesn't know much about what they're doing.

[dstar]

I don't think even TSR has any ideas what they are doing when it comes to developing CC tools.

Mootilda was just posting at MATY that s/he is not at all involved and that they are liars.  Nothing at all to do with TSR.

Here is one of the quotes from Mootilda at MATY.

Well, I do know that a number of people have been discussing tools.  You can see some of the results on Inge's site.  And I believe that at least one of the people involved in those discussions is from TSR.  But, that hardly makes us all collaborators on a TSR tool.  More like one TSR developer might be helping out with some free tools.

At this point, I'm not even sure that I want to get involved with modding TS3.  I've been following some of the discussions, but not contributing, so I know that my name shouldn't be on that list.  Which means that TSR are liars.  Note that I can't speak for anyone else on that list.

It looks to me like they are trying to get support for their tool by using my name without my knowledge or permission.

Earlier in the thread s/he claimed surprise at having seen the name on the list and said they must be "sleep-coding" then since they have no knowledge of it.



 edited to clarify- there was another poster between my first and second post but it was deleted so now it looks like I double posted.  I have now idea what happened there but the poster had quoted me and I was responding to them. (while bringing info anyway)

I would like to know how many other people's names they just threw out there (without their knowledge that is..) to sound more "credible"?

btw: Darqstar you are awesome ^-* I somehow managed not to spit out my coffee when I saw your pic o' choices!

[SnarkyShark]

Mootilda was just posting at MATY that s/he is not at all involved and that they are liars.

Yeah, I just caught Mootilda's reaction to the news she was helping them out.  -  So I guess TSR is caught in yet another lie (at least in Mootilda's case). No big surprise there.

I wonder how many others are unaware of their "involvement" with the "tool"? 

You're not alone, I'm sure. I'd wager many members of the free community would be interested to find that out.

Coconut's reply to Zazazu in the comments section...

REPLY: I can confirm that Inge is working on the tool, as she herself has posted about this on TSR and her own site. I also know Jfade and a couple of the others are in, quite willingly. I can also confirm that I have not seen any evidence that Mootilda is involved in any way. - Coconut

[kenmtl]

TSR has generously decided to make some of it open source my faggot ass!

Inge at TSR

Let me know if there is any particular info you're missing, as it might be something Peter (my husband) has already discovered or coded. We might as well share info to some extent if relevant.

Oh I should add that his source is available at Sims3Tools which can be studied, but if you wish to use any of it you need to be aware it is gpl licenced which would require you to make your project open source also.

edit: and what WB said. ninja'd
