New FA at TSR

[Quorneater]

I have some vague memory of talking to one of the TSR bosses about being a contributor but the details are lost in the swirls of time.  I think it was before TS2 though.

[redisenchanted]

Of all paysites, TSR is the absolute worst! They are like Teadrinker said, a Black Hole sucking more and more of the community into itself with no escape.

I was asked once a few years ago as well. I think they read that I had hosting problems and saw their chance. But I declared to them that I would rather go offline than be a part of their site...

I'm starting to regret now that I said no, I mean, If they're building a monkey army and everything I would like to be a part of it  :?

I think when Seasons come out a lot of people are going to have to upgrade their PCS, whether its cards, memory, etc. rom the conversation I have had with my friend on this blue screen issue, he feels that there is something going on more with a game software issue, that we will continually have to keep CC levels small etc. Next time I talk to him I hope to be explain this better. My point is that I think what is going on with paks, and people probably having to upgrade, probably wont be able to play all paks with seasons with very little CC. So enthusiasm is going to flag here for CC, so that may take a toll on these places. And then we know after Seasons, EA will probabl release more stuff paks between next EP.

That sounds like rather unjustified speculation to me, regarding needing to cut down CC. On my old computer, Sims 2 used to take half an hour to load. On my shiny new computer, it takes about 5 minutes, as well as running far more smoothly, and I have more CC than before. So, yeah, whatever.

Yay for another new crappy featured fartist.

TSR does suck, like most of the FA's, they are hardly worth the money + the time submitting something

I highly doubt it. Although Sims 2 is far more resource demanding than Sims 1 was, demand for CC was stronger than ever when Makin' Magic, the final EP for it came out. And TS1 even had a CC limit, of 3Gb, I think...or was it 3.5? And from what I know, a very large proportion of players are more than willing to spend howeer much to upgrade their PC, just so they can run the latest EP AND keep all their pretties...so I ery much doubt demand will abate...

[calalily]

3.8 gb - I had to get very complex and start packing things in .far files.   :lol:  They said unlimited space for cc. WRONG!

Now I have CEP, Squinge's mod for OFB napping (would get Pescado's if I could get his site) and the Insimenator - like a good girl.

Wait. Do they get paid for joining? Because I don't know about you guys but it seems that some of the people speaking out against paysites are joining TSR? What? I mean they do know that if they become an FA their stuff will be pay right? Oh yea and if they post it on their are they still allowed to post it on different sites for free? Or is that -looks around and whispers- FORBIDDEN ? :roll:  Woo Im confused

[Soup Parrot]

Confused by your post Red. Explain what you are asking.

[AnneBonny]

I knew that Jirka would become an FA.

Of course the people that become FA's know that their creations will become pay. It's all in the job. From what I hear the FA's make deals with Tom to post their creations elsewhere. Windkeeper and SimAddict come to mind in that regard.

I'm saying do the artist that become FA's on TSR get paid to be FA's? I mean i know they get the whole free sub thing or what ever but is that all? >.> Also If they post an object on TSR (ie a living room set) can they post that same living room set on say...MTS2? Or does TSR have a problem With that?

<.< Just wanna be the first too let you guys know  :oops: that if i had any talent with meshing and creating and i was really good... I wouldn't EVER become a TSR FA I mean come on. You see everyone b****in' about how paysites are not right and then you go and create for one? Are you just wanting to get tarred feathered and beaten? =]

Lots Of Love

Red that was clearer, the FA are paid from what i understand. The free content, I have seen them post in more than one place. Its supposed to give a one month free subscription too.

So some of the FA pay things could show up for free on MTS2 (just an example site) if they creator wanted the content to?

I'm sorry i just don't understand how TSR operates but i do detect a bit of shadiness. TSR seems to me more like they are sneaking around....like any moment they may get caught breaking the rules, but maybe that just me.

Are you just wanting to get tarred feathered and beaten? =]

 If we do decide to do this i get the first smack with a base ball bat =] My idea -.- well im the first one to TYPE it any way  

[liegenschonheit]

If I remember correctly, Seomi turned it down as well. I think her reasons were that she didn't update often enough and liked being able to do things at her own pace. I could be mistaken though.

I must really suck, TSR never offered me the chance to turn down being a FA.
