Advocating Free Content
Inge Jones:
Well I've said this before and been roundly flamed for it, but as long as pay sites do not gain a right to stop other creators offering the same things free then they're pretty harmless and not worth a load of bad feeling over. As long as loads of great free stuff is always available, the pay sites just add to the diversity of choice.
I don't take any notice of the twaddle about them needing the money for the bandwidth - no one told them they had to hire humungous great servers with humungous numbers of "staff" filling them up. If the bandwidth at my site got to the point where I couldn't pay for it with more or less the cost of a couple of drinks a month, I'd take some of the files off or make less stuff. I wouldn't want the hassle of collecting donations or subscriptions.

If someone uploads your stuff somewhere else, guess what they gave you a free mirror for your file.
Well, I don't really like people mirroring my stuff because that way people end up getting out of date versions, no instructions and no support. I don't mind so much when it's something I know is really simple and I am not going to touch again. But if someone decides they're going to offer one of my hacks on their site anyway, then I'd prefer it if they changed its name and said it was their work, then people won't come moaning to me about it if they can't get it to work :-D

Anyway, Exnem's stuff is kind of borderline high poly, particularly for how small it is, and he doesn't post his counts which makes me suspicious to begin with. Plus as a vegetarian his meaty stuff grosses me out lol.
Usualy the foods are kind of high anyways but he is not just changing
the food but also the way the whole file looks
it's ok to change the main course then just paint whatever else but the problem i think his files have is he is changing not just the main course but every little mesh in it and yeah the last one with the fish was kind of well you said it best ..
i will say at least he gave some stuff away but none of the foods to me should be pay considering at the moment the only thing that would work would have to be the salad if i had not have seriously banged my head trying to get them all to work only for other people to learn it and reap a dollar off of my headaches
now dont get me wrong i would love to see at least a few other sites offering food items just as long as they stay free :D
Teresa:
more than likely you would have to go back and re-subscribe :evil:
like i said to me thats just wrong they should all stay free
if and when changes are made people should be able get the fix without anyone telling them to pay for it
if that happens i am gonna bitch my head off considering they were meant to be free anyways
i bet if i asked for the files he has he would say i need to pay for them :evil:

The question I have is that someone was doing some figuring,and they came up with,Tsr is making about 4700 a month off of people,and what I really want to know is what are they doing with the money?Please don't jump on me but I have been a subscriber for about 6 months,to defend myself it wasn't until the sim2 that I found out about custom content and the first place I ever found was tsr,I just want to know where my hard earned money is going.I don't like the way they run things over there it has become a political war zone and I think the sims is about fun not a powerfest.
