If she really wanted to "vanish" she wouldn't put a huge ass link on her retailsims site front page.

I agree, tits rock.  As does Futurama.

OT, but is anyone else having problems receiving email notifications on posts? I've checked my settings and they're set to send out an email, and my email is correct.

Ah damn, the link isn't working for me.  :x

This is what I get for having a job; I miss out on all of the Awesomeness over here.

EDIT- Huh..... and now it magically works again. Myspace had a seizure, perhaps?

True that, homie. 8D

From HChangeri's MySpace blog, I could not get past this line of reasoning:

... the problem is that everyone is overlooking the fact that its not about selling content for TS2, is about selling a custom created 3D mesh.  That mesh is NOT exclusive to TS2 or any other game and has value in and of itself.


What value is a TS2 mesh without TS2? I fail to understand the logic.  :roll: [/quote]

Shhh... you'll let out a dirty little secret.

A TS2 mesh is not a TS2 mesh without the game, its code and the packages.  It is just some 3D model.  And then, paysite owners would have a legitimate beef - if they were only selling the models and photshop images.

But alas, they are not.  If fact, that is only about 1% of what they are selling.  The other 99% is Maxis code.

A TS2 mesh is an almost USELESS 3D model without the game- I'm sure there are a gazillion reasons people want 3D models of crappy hairs  :roll:

The underlying message I got from that whole lot of mishmash wasn't that donations weren't for bandwidth but to compensate her for all her hard work.

I think, as a creator, I should have the right to charge for the work that went into the creation of the mesh

Wait, isn't charging for the items and the work going against the (minimal) restrictions EA put up? You stupid, stupid twit.

Right.

Sometimes I write stuff.  You know, like stories.  Sometimes poetry, but that's really for if I don't want to make a lot of sense and pretend I'm cool.  Sometimes I let people read them.

Because I put so much ohmygodmyfingersfelloffworkingonthis effort into it, I should charge the three or four people that actually read it.

Damn, I knew I was missing something.  Time to harass my friends and get them to cough up the cash...  And you know, I put a lot of work into my homework.  Teachers need to pay me, and none of this "your pay is a good grade" shtick.  I want CASH to pay for my drug habit and my children that I had birthed from some unknown father, so I need to pay for the DNA testing and getting every single male on the planet to have their DNA compared to my children's.

Ensign EO is earning my respect. Intellect uber alles. Unless she has a cute bod, then intellect goes out the window. Being male is a burden.

That entire "charging for my work" thing is bogus. If I wanted to charge people for my work, I'd sidestep the entire EA EULA by making people pay for my actually doing the work. You could then pay as much or as little as you wanted, but until the requisite funds had been accumulated, I simply wouldn't do the work at all. Then once the item was finished, it would be released freely. You would truly have paid for the work, and not the item.

So why is she continuing to whine at a pitch that makes dogs' ears hurt about TS2, instead of selling her OH SO WONDERFUL TOOK HOURS OF HARD WORK 3D models on 3D modelling site for hundreds of dollars?

Perhaps she's found out the hard way that outside of TS2, her leet skills aren't in very high demand. ¬_¬

I'm thinking that might be a big part of her problem.
