Question for the Site community
Paden:
If you need that much content in that short of a time, you'd be best off finding some tutorials and a meshing program and making it yourself. People have jobs and lives that need to be taken care of before any hobby stuff. We don't ignore requests on principal, sometimes they don't get taken care of because it's not something a creator feels like taking on. We don't even have to have that section at all, it's there as a courtesy. Same with the WCIF section.
Just keep this in mind: when people keep seeing the same names asking for stuff they tend to skip it because they get burned out. There are people that will search the net high and low to find what they're needing and use this site's WCIF as a last ditch effort to get that hard to find item. Often, they are rewarded with someone being able to help. Then again, there are people that come here first off and don't bother trying to search for themselves, because our users are so very wonderful at finding that exact thing they're craving for their game. Or, you have the people that come here demanding that something be produced, no matter what the people lending a hand have to stop doing in order to find or fabricate it. Which one of these types are you?

Also while its true that a creator's feelings are important, the feelings of the requester are important too.
Valid point for a caring community.

also this thread is about my requests being unanswered while NO ONES are being fulfilled.
its not just my requests, every request I have looked at becouse "OMG thats so cool I want it too!" has also gone ignored.
and I want to know if your anti-sci-fi and only do realistic objects or if sci-fi meshes are too complex to make or if artists don't read a request after its more then 30 days old or what now?
Some of your questions can be answered by pouring through faq and reading the how-to sections. That is not a rude response, just a matter of fact.

So thats why Im also trying to learn what are the realistic exspectaions of a mesh?
would it be easier for me to say "make me a cube? or clone an item and change its catigory and use?" or do mesh creators enjoy making things with legs and arms and a face and moving parts?
...fall into that category. There are no short pat answers to those queries the best response is read the threads. That isn't the most popular answer but if you really want to understand for yourself it is the most honest one.
As a newbie myself I sympathize with some of the frustration you may feel—check out the requests...my name is among them several times.
Some requests show that people haven't read the FAQ's and frankly questions that have been answered ad nauseum don't gain a lot of attention. That's understandable as clearly someone dedicated their free time to making up that handy list. It is there because someone cared to help.

When I make a story or a family and I find my self needing a submarine or a large Alien riding animal or a certin kind of hat or hair mesh, I would realy like that thing made in week maybe 2, if it took sevral months or over a year to amke a mesh I would wounder what was taking so long.
if a Mesh was unmake I would want to know why.
That might seem reasonable to you but rl comes first. I can't say it better then Paden, Joy or others have answered you already on this. This is a sharing community not a demand & supply one. You can't say "Hey could you do me a favor?" & Whoa, what's the deal it should be done already!" If it were me helping or modding for you and you said that, I'd tell you I have a life if I bothered to answer you at all. It is that type of entitlement feel that some requestors have that lead creators to stop taking mod requests.
It's also good to bear in mind that questions stay even though requesters have moved on after finding the answer or a satisfactory replacement. I came back and updated a few of my questions after I found the answers (to help others) or when I received a response no matter how long it took. That's my small contribution to the community. Every requester doesn't do that. So in reality you have no idea how many requests were/weren't satisfied because not everyone says thanks or edits with status updates.
I still have requests put in months ago that I check back for but while I'm excited to have them I recognize and respect the time and lives of the creators; and as I wait I read and learn for myself. I think it's great you asked these questions because many are curious to know but dont have the guts to ask. I hope you appreciate and respect the honest answers given.

One thing to consider, if custom content can't be made in the time frame you need, is to start thinking out of the box. "Greenscreen" your characters and put them on a pirate ship standing next to Jack Sparrow through the magic of Photoshop. Use screen caps from other games that have the things you want. There's no rule that says a Sims story has to be only Sims. If you have to limit yourself to Sims in-game pictures, then find out what is available before you start the story and create your story that makes use of what's available.

thats actually a good idea and a useful one. I just feel so dishonest photoshopping my sims.
but my topic is better sumerised as
if your a creator tell me what is easy and hard for you personally to do so I can think of a way to make my requests more fun for you personally as an individual.
I can read FAQs but I don't know if they'll have personal Opinions.
like if I made meshes I would only do star wars, star trek, anime, sci0fi, dragons, mythology, fantasy stuff like that. I wouldn't take requests to do sports or popular rock stars or any thing I don't know. and I wouldn't take requests to do t-shirt recolors.
I want to know the names of creators who were kids in the 80s and are huge sci-fi geaks and who are Otaku for anime.
I don't think some one who thinks Sci-fi sucks and who knows nothing about it would have fun doing some kind of Sci-fi item and Im worried that my requests might be for things that the comunity has no interest in doing.
what kind of threads would help me find out what each individual person is interested in so I can ask for things people enjoy and not ask for things people hate?
