I won't download anything that's behind any paywall that I have no control over. It's my computer at risk, and no matter how many precautions you take there's always something out there that your programs may not know about. I have gotten one virus from ad.fly ads and several notifications of malware despite running uBlock Origin, ABP, ad.fly skipper and who knows what else over the years. No one's CC or mods are worth it. I have over 50 gb of CC downloaded (not installed, obviously LOL) and not one bit of it came from a creator that hides behind a paywall. I can, have, and will donate to creators of my own free will because I know how hard it can be. I will not jump through flaminhg hoops for some pixels or lines of code.
I am still playing TS3 thanks to the modfalther, Twallan, and the team that has taken over for him. If people like that, who spend huge amounts of their own personal time actually fixing this game, don't put my computer at risk for a few pennies,then I don't see why I should bother with anyone who does.
Tumblr? WTF is a Tumblr??
