Pimp My Sims

[Keijra]

That is so true.

I did that once at a garage sale my parents were holding. We had a huge pile of dirt and tree branches that we never got around to hauling away.

Stuck a sign in it saying "Free. You haul it."

Lo and behold, it was gone by the end of the day. People are weird.

And the hard facts like traffic etc. don't say anything. If you look at people around you in real life, they do tend to grab anything, if it is promoted and free. Place some real crap on a table, scream "free" and you will be left with nothing 5 minutes later.

Darn. There goes my secret garbage disposal technique.

I still think you are cute though. And you resemble Ben Stiller.

Maybe that's why I thought he looked like a sexual predator.  I hate Ben Stiller.

Just to put my two cents in hours late:  Even though I find your English a bit painful to understand, Solander, I'm still impressed that you can converse in more than one language.  I can't, so I, at least, have nothing to critisize you over.

Though you're wrong that creator's have the copyright to their creations.  They don't, EA does, and EA says to share them.

I'm probably repeating a lot of people but I just got home from work and I'm tired.  So there.

[Keijra]

Ah. I personally think Ben Stiller is adorable. But then I also have a crush on Adam Sandler.

[Plum]

Well that settles it then.  You're just weird.

[Keijra]

Well that settles it then. You're just weird.

Granted.

If you do anything in life in the hopes of getting thanked for it, you're bound to be disappointed.

If you do anything in life in the hopes of getting thanked for it, you're bound to be disappointed.

Amen.

[Pescado]

I wish they'd stop doing that. It's annoying. I even gave them a button to push instead, but they still keep posting that crap. It's not helpful.

[Blue]

Now I feel worse. I'm sorry I never pressed that button or wrote a 'thank you'. I have all your CC and they are really one of my favorites. Cant you tell from the number of the downloads that people like your work?

That's the only thing I blame lots of users for. It's so easy to browse a site, download everything you like and leave. If the content was created bit by bit with lots of accuracy and a love of details isn't rewarded.

And the hard facts like traffic etc. don't say anything. If you look at people around you in real life, they do tend to grab anything, if it is promoted and free. Place some real crap on a table, scream "free" and you will be left with nothing 5 minutes later.

Well, I wasn't always so insensitive. For example:  I went to your site today to say thank you and I've spent about 20 minutes there trying to post. I couldn't figure out what the hell was the matter it just kept coming back with 'fill out all fields'. Then I turned off my cookie blocker and it went through.
I don't like cookies and I don't understand why some sites want gift me with one. Of course if its essential (passwords etc) I allow it but the majority of the sites want to place not one but three or four on my computer. No thanks.
The other problem is that MTS2 gets pretty crowded by the time I get there and I'm happy if I get the download to work before I fall of the chair.

And I have to disagree with "Place some real crap on a table, scream "free" and you will be left with nothing 5 minutes later" I play with Sims2 for about 2 years now and I only have less than 2 megabytes in my download folder. I'm very picky what I download and I - just like the majority- don't like crap. Not everybody is a ..um... dowloadholic(sp?) Is there such a word?

lmao Are you always in danger of falling off your chair or do you just sit really close to the edge?  

I don't like cookies either, unless they are the kind that comes from my oven.

[Solander]

The guestbook ist cookie protected? Have to check this tonight, but i used to implement some "anti-porn-site-mass-posting-robots" protection features.

And to make a last statement regarding sharing donation stuff.

As i said before, i'm not a lawyer. So i am not in the position to really understand the whole legal stuff EA and others do ship with each game. But it does nonetheless not feel right to me, if the creator has no right to determine what happens with his creations. I don't say it is not right, i just say, it does not feel right.

@Blue: I don't think every single visitor of my site is an "oh, it's free, lets grab it" type, but if you look at the traffic caused by our visitors, most seem to even download the background picture of the website

I press the download button sit back in my comfy armchair and just wait...wait...wait...until I almost fall asleep.
I guess that's the time when the other side of the globe gets up and jumps MTS2.

[Sherry]

Nah, I think it's always like at MTS2, but they are free so...

Robot porn?

You should be happy they like your work so mush. And yeah, your site does ask for cookies.

Do you take requests?
