Boring Administrative Stuff
Hello and welcome to my inaugural post on this, a "journal" for Sims-related stuff, mostly downloads but possibly containing meaningless Sims-related chatter in the future and maybe some game-documenting. Since this is the first post, I need to get some boring "terms of use" for my downloadable stuff out of the way. So, here goes:
And I think that's about it! Now, on to an actual Download...
- I share my stuff freely, and you can do whatever you like with it except that you can't put my stuff on any pay/donation site, especially not T$R. A few years back, T$R published my then-9-year-old daughter's real name and email address as a "pirate" because she shared some pay stuff that she had legitimately downloaded (because she didn't know better and had spent her own money on various subscriptions) with little-girl friends of hers, and some of the files ended up in the Booty. This "sharing" of T$R's left a very bad taste in my mouth, and I became rather vindictive. I went and bought myself subscriptions to various paysites and duly made large contributions to the Booty for a while. *laughs* And now, I want nothing to do with anyone who wants money for their creations. I would be very happy if T$R, in particular, was indeed destroyed.
- I can't create for TS3 because my laptop won't run the game due to video card incompatibility issues as well as general age. However, if anyone would like to use my stuff to make stuff for TS3, please do feel free. If they would be helpful, I can supply anyone who asks with templates and color codes and PNGs/BMPs and such.
- I take requests, but I cannot guarantee that I will fill them and/or that I can/will fill them in any timely manner. I am a professional musician and piano teacher, and sometimes I am hectically busy and just don't have time to create. But sometimes I have lots of time. So, whether or not I can grant any requests depends on how busy my professional life is, and that's pretty much totally luck of the draw. I also have limitations when it comes to creating. For one, I don't know how to mesh at all, so I can't create new objects, but I do very much enjoy recoloring existing objects and architectural elements. I especially enjoy making Maxis recolors and Maxis-match stuff. I also like to build lots, but I don't know that I'd want to build requested lots unless you had a specific house in mind that you could show me floor plans and pics of.
- I don't create Sims or anything that goes on a Sim's body, and I have absolutely no plans to start doing so. It isn't where my interests lie.
- I've been uploading to MTS for about 9 months, as I write this. Here is my profile. There are 40-odd downloads available there, mostly Build Mode stuff, but also some other stuff. Going forward, I will upload my stuff both here and at MTS, but there will be some things that you will find only here, for various reasons. Since this journal is obviously not moderated as MTS is, new stuff will appear more quickly here, sometimes much more quickly depending on how busy the poor mods over at MTS are. However, I won't be retroactively posting here the stuff I've already uploaded to MTS. Just get them at MTS, if you want 'em.
And I think that's about it! Now, on to an actual Download...
