Mod The Sims; https://modthesims.info ================================================================================ : One Year Later : 9th Mar 2010 at 3:51 AM : https://modthesims.info/journal.php?do=showentry&e=4708 ================================================================================ Time does fly. I can't believe my last journal entry on MTS2 was almost a year ago to the day. If you can't find any of my items here, you may find them at my other site. You can find me at TSR as Rosehill9991. Not sure if I am going to dabble with Sims 3 creations as of yet. I've gotten quite a few requests for Sims 2 lots believe it or not. Specially apartment type lots. So I'll let you know if I upload anything new there. I had a few ideas that I wanted to try. ================================================================================ ================================================================================ : Retiring From MTS2 : 19th Mar 2009 at 12:22 AM : https://modthesims.info/journal.php?do=showentry&e=3641 ================================================================================ I won't be updating anything here for an undetermined amount of time. But I will be checking in to make sure my threads are working. You can also email, me or contact me if needed. Thank you to everyone who downloaded, and took the time to leave all the wonderful comments. It made me really happy to create and upload here for the community. I'll still be building and creating for The Sims, I won't get over that love anytime soon :) So you haven't heard the last of me yet Love Yas Rose About TSR-I havent decided yet. ================================================================================ ================================================================================ : The Latest Server Failure : 15th Mar 2009 at 6:00 PM : https://modthesims.info/journal.php?do=showentry&e=3627 ================================================================================ I had about 20 threads that became corrupted. I'm pretty sure I corrected them all, and they should be fine. Please let me know also, if you can't download any of my items. Thanks to the staff for working hard on fixing the problem. Thanks Rose ================================================================================ ================================================================================ : 100000 Downloads : 3rd Mar 2009 at 6:36 PM : https://modthesims.info/journal.php?do=showentry&e=3571 ================================================================================ When I first started creating on MTS2 I had a goal of reaching that many downloads. I know it's not a big amount for alot of creators. To the creating gods, its nothing. But for me it seemed momumental. And now I've reached it. I want to thank everyone that left such nice comments and encouraging feedback and of course, downloaded. It really helped me to keep doing what I love the most. Making the Sims 2 even more enjoyable to others because of my stuff. Out of my 12 picked items, I know that at least 10 were earned the hard way. That is by having been downloaded, viewed and thanked so many times by all of you. They werent made picked items at random or whim. I appreciate that more than anything else. As I've said before, at this point, I really don't hold my breath to have any of my items featured here at MTS2. So to know that it's the community that decided my items were top items, was the only thing that really counts. Thanks for a great time here! Love Rose ================================================================================ ================================================================================ : It Really makes you wonder.... : 25th Feb 2009 at 3:49 AM : https://modthesims.info/journal.php?do=showentry&e=3553 ================================================================================ I just noticed that items were nominated from the last Kids Creator Challenge. Some nice items were picked. Alot of nice items weren't picked. And now, at the risk of sounding unsportsmanlike, I am going to say what Im sure alot of people think. WTH? I'm not going to speak for anyone else in that challenge that got shut out. But I will speak for myself, and the category lots and decor. I had 4 submissions. My lot took about 2 weeks to create. It was the most downloaded lot. . Yet it wasnt even nominated. I'm not saying it should win, but not even nominated, when it was Downloaded more than any other lot does make me wonder why it was passed over. I think maybe there is a disconnect from what I think is good work and what the mods think. I don't believe there is any bias towards or against any creator. So that just leaves a matter of taste and perhaps bias towards or against a certain look. Either way, not much you can say about that. ================================================================================ ================================================================================ : New Apartment Series : 17th Feb 2009 at 4:56 PM : https://modthesims.info/journal.php?do=showentry&e=3524 ================================================================================ I just completed two in the builders series. What they are is a representation of builders showcases. I picked a few that I thought were really good, and recreated/added one of my own. There are 2 or 3 more I would like to do. I havent decided yet. They are an unbelievable amount of work. Granted, I am pretty anal about every little detail. Usually I don't add alot of custom content. So using Maxis only makes it even harder. Sometimes it could take me an hour just to decide on exterior paint lol. Well, almost. Anyway, as much as I love building, I have to decide if I am going to upload anymore of them. It has to be worth the effort too. Sometimes I wonder if its not easier and more effective to make a box with a roof. :wtf: ================================================================================ ================================================================================ : Another Urban Series : 28th Jan 2009 at 9:40 PM : https://modthesims.info/journal.php?do=showentry&e=3442 ================================================================================ My last one was the Living in SoHo. I really loved making those lots. If I wanted, I could probably make at least 10 additions. But enough is enough. The other night I ate in this restaurant which gave me an idea for another urban setting I would like to recreate. Its got a different feel and look then the SoHo. I did some building in some other styles, like western, mediterranean. Theyre nice. The city scapes are my favorites though. If I do this series I would do at least 10 I think. A community lot, residential and apartments. Maybe a university lot. I like making apartment style houses but hate the restrictions when actually making AL apartments. Usually, for my own use I keep them residential, and only make one or two family apartments. Then I put on some of Inge's excellent lockable doors. Sure its technically all one family. But usually I do an extended family. Like a married kid coming back home and moving into a 2 family house .I may do that also, or make an apartment version and residential. So stay tuned. I'll probably decide in the next month if I want to give it a shot or just play my Sims in spare time :giggler: ================================================================================ ================================================================================ : Ok I've Had it with Sims 2 : 22nd Jan 2009 at 2:12 AM : https://modthesims.info/journal.php?do=showentry&e=3411 ================================================================================ In the 4 or so years of playing Sims 2, I think the actual play time may boil down to a few hours. Theres ALWAYS a problem, if its not one glitch its another. I cant even count how many times Ive had to ditch my game and go to a back up. For example, how am I supposed to know that saving a lot while a sim is playing a hand held game could crash the whole game. Its just ridiculous and frustrating. Finally, I was intending on playing the Sims with AL installed. Well, I had to go to my back up a gazillion time. Then I had one problem after another. An invisible sim with a bone missing. Half of my lots mysteriously gone. All kinds of BS. So I decide to get some new lots for my Sims. I didnt feel like building anything-I JUST wanted to PLAY! So I DL a couple of lots. Nice big lots which I don't like to build. Fine, no CC. Guess what? One of the so called no CC lot had aspiration rewards. CRASH. And this was a picked lot. I looked at the comments and sure enough, someone else complained about a crash but thought it was their computer. Anyways, I tried everything to get rid of the lot but nothing helped. I couldnt even load the sims 2. I tried in Simpe. I deleted the lot from the catalogue. I finally gave up and went to my backup but heres the thing. None of my backups of N001 will work? My whole game is totally corrupted because of this dam lot. And I know its this one lot You know, I was kinda reluctant to abandon Sims 2 because I love creating for the game and uploading here on MTS2. And since they werent going to host Sims 3, I might as well keep making Sims 2 stuff. But now thats changed. I feel really bad about my Sims. But I am so sick of the stupid issues and downtime trying to make this game work. Not to mention 8-10 gigs on my hard drive. I am beyond frustrated. At this moment, I don't even want to create anything. Maybe I'll just start playing something like Guild Wars. lol ================================================================================ ================================================================================ : What I'm Working On : 8th Jan 2009 at 1:18 AM : https://modthesims.info/journal.php?do=showentry&e=3345 ================================================================================ I just finished the last entry for the Kids Challenge. It was a jungle, tropical lot. And I threw alot in there. Theres a waterfall, AND a treehouse. It was really difficult making the terrain mountaineous and also hilly. Then there was the landscaping. That credit goes to the CC creators. Those guys made incredible creations. So thats it. My first challenge had 4 entrys. Way more then I ever expected to make. I didnt even know if I could do one. It was fun though and I enjoyed it. Now I have a shiny new icon , so Im happy. When I made the rugs for the challenge it opened up some possibilities for me. Ive always been primarily a lot builder, and thats what I always will be. But I must admit, it was fun and challenging working with textures and creating something different. Also in a sense it was much easier. Once my textures were done, the finished product was easy to check, photograph and upload. For me, the hard work of a lot comes once its architecturly complete (word?). Im very fussy with decorating, landscaping and photos. Sometimes that takes me longer then the actual lot. So for now I am attempting a couple of decorative items :!: I may be doing a set afterwards based on that theme. But Im not sure if I am even going to pull it off. I would love to have at least one female celebrity. But all my attempts at simming have been only minimally successful. Plus I only make mask skins on Sims I dont plan on giving a family too. I hate infants that are born with makeup and eyebrows. Then back to lots. I have one in mind that will take me a looong time. That should take me right to the end of February. From there I think its time to take a break and get back to my own neglected Sims Rose ================================================================================ ================================================================================ : Sims 3 Creators : 31st Dec 2008 at 4:08 AM : https://modthesims.info/journal.php?do=showentry&e=3311 ================================================================================ I'm wondering if it will be even worthwhile to create for Sims 3. It seems so customizeable. And what about all the tools we use now? SimPe, Milkshape, HomeCrafter...They will be obsolete I guess. It will be interesting to see how things go when S3 comes out. Will all the creators jump ship and start creating for S3? I dont know much going on for Sims 1 anymore. Will Sims 2 become a thing of the past? That would be disappointing. For me personally, I am just starting to feel comfortable making stuff. Well maybe I will just go back and actually play Sims 2 until all the kinks are worked out of 3. Im thinking Summer 09. Hopefully Sims 2 will be still popular and people still interested in custom creations. ================================================================================ ================================================================================ : Challenge Entry : 19th Dec 2008 at 5:02 AM : https://modthesims.info/journal.php?do=showentry&e=3263 ================================================================================ I am so happy to have something in the challenge. Its just a little recolour so I dont have high hopes for it. But it was enough to have it accepted and I got a new icon. YAY ================================================================================ ================================================================================ : Something New : 17th Dec 2008 at 1:36 AM : https://modthesims.info/journal.php?do=showentry&e=3256 ================================================================================ Ive been playing around with Simpe and texturing lately. Simpe has only been something I use to fix my sims so this was all new for me. For the longest time I wanted to do something with a Southwest flair. I was going to do some lots, and townhomes which I still may do. But for now I did some Carpet recolours. I think they came out fairly nice and do have that look. Well really its thanks to Echo who did the hard work on the rug mesh and was generous enough to allow us to recolour. But they came out good enough for me to upload and they got accepted! I was kind of gratified since I never did anything in this area before. Maybe I will do some other decorative piece to go along with the rugs. ================================================================================ ================================================================================ : Will Sims 3 fix The Sims 2 stupidity : 3rd Dec 2008 at 1:00 AM : https://modthesims.info/journal.php?do=showentry&e=3199 ================================================================================ I was looking at the promos and I have to say, it could be very exciting. But only IF it works as they say it does. Basically, they still havent even solved some of the problems faced in Sims2. They let the modding Community just handle it for them. So how can something as complex as Sims 3 be expected to run as planned. Hopefully they will kill some of the more annoying aspects of Sims 2 and not carry them over. Like some of the gestures that are so annoying in Sims 2 and unrealistic. How many people start playing kicky ball with someone they just met. And what the heck is kicky ball anyway? I never heard of it till Sims. Oh and Body Shop is a disaster. Why do they have to smile and twist theyre mouths and eyes when Im trying to fix them. Its Soooooo irritating And they are supposedly giving them intelligence enough to be socially correct. No more relaxing on your neighbors bed the minute you walk in? I.m hoping they are at least smart enough not to pee themselves while standing outside a perfectly good bathroom. Or my all time favorite *NOT* behaviour. Shoving and fighting with someone you just met cause your relationship is still at 0. Anyways, I wont go on cause I could fill alot of pages. If Sims 3 does nothing but get rid of the annoyances already in Sims 2, I would be happy. Rose ================================================================================ ================================================================================ : On to Better Things : 28th Nov 2008 at 7:17 AM : https://modthesims.info/journal.php?do=showentry&e=3170 ================================================================================ At least I hope so. I have a couple of ideas in mind. In between building real estate I have been tweaking some of my Sims. Maybe one of these days I'll try uploading them. I am most likely going to try something for the Challenge. Mostly just for the fun of it. So far I have no idea what I would do Sometimes I feel like making some small, unfurnished lots. Just typical homes you would find in average neighborhoods. Not totally starter, but cheap. It's just that there seems to be so many of them already. Well, that's it for now. I'm taking a quick break but Ill be back soon Rose ================================================================================ ================================================================================ : New Creator Challenge and my Own stuff : 22nd Nov 2008 at 5:31 PM : https://modthesims.info/journal.php?do=showentry&e=3154 ================================================================================ I havent entered in any of the challenges yet. One reason being I am not a modder or simmer. The children's theme can be difficult to me. There's not a whole lot of kid's stuff that I like. And I wouldnt create any that would make a difference. Well I may consider it just to say I participated for a change. I finished the third lot of the Apartment Living series and I think it came out pretty good. So now I have to decide if I will do the 4th and last one. It was going to be a somewhat complicated lot and would take me time. ================================================================================ ================================================================================ : I'm So Happy Now! : 18th Nov 2008 at 2:44 AM : https://modthesims.info/journal.php?do=showentry&e=3143 ================================================================================ Wheeeeeeee! ================================================================================ ================================================================================ : This Would be My Guestbook : 15th Nov 2008 at 4:25 PM : https://modthesims.info/journal.php?do=showentry&e=3130 ================================================================================ :blink: ================================================================================ ================================================================================ : Requests, Featured Items - Why Not? : 14th Nov 2008 at 11:59 PM : https://modthesims.info/journal.php?do=showentry&e=3128 ================================================================================ I was just wondering about this. What is so wrong with having a request forum? I can't do much besides make lots. But I would love to see what people are looking for and try to make it happen. If there is one and I dont know about it, wellt then just nevermind. But I could think of alot of things I would like to see in Sims. Alot of very generous creators offer their talents, and try to fulfull requests. I just think its a good idea. And the other not allowed thing is for a member to suggest something should be featured. Why? There are countless times that I have seen such amazing creations that werent featured. And I think - How in the world did this get overlooked. I think a voting process of some sort would be fair. But there are people that would try to vote for their own stuff I suppose. The picked uploads is sorta peoples choice. But its not perfect. I know that Thanks figure into the calculation. But the ratio of DL to thanks is sometimes extremely low. Sure people can forget but most of the time people that dont thank, just dont bother. And Thanks is an important statistic for a creator. We vote for contests, so why not? So thats my thought. Im not sure if anyone has expressed any interest but Im afraid to!!!!!!!! :D Its Not Allowed, right? ================================================================================ ================================================================================ : Apartment Life Worth it? : 12th Nov 2008 at 4:34 AM : https://modthesims.info/journal.php?do=showentry&e=3121 ================================================================================ So I finally had some time to play AL. To be honest, I wasnt all that thrilled. I like some of the effects like the spiral stairs and ceilings. The witch stuff is as stupid as the vampires and is not something I would bother with. I didnt get Pets. Even though I love animals and have alot of irl pets, I dont want my Sims spending every spare moment caring for them. When I played it at my husbands house if you werent chasing strays you had to entertain your own pets or wash them or feed them. Too much work Oh so back to AL. I have always been a big fan of multiple familys on one lot. Ive made my own 2 family houses that were pre AL. The only problem was the Sims dont know they shouldnt cook on each others stoves or sponge bathe in their kitchen. Thanks to Inge, I got some targetable doors and that helped. But they would stand outside with the pot and have a fit. So I had to DL some type of No Fit Hack. Its funny though Well with AL they can live their own lives. What bothers me is the restrictions on building the apartments. I would like to convert some of my "two family houses" to Apts. It wont let me do that on occupied lots. Plus, I hate the disappearing furniture. Thats pointless. I started uploading some Apt Life Lots. Basically, I converted some of my Building Lots. I just wanted to get a feel for it before I dedicated alot of time and effort. I think that I prefer the townhouse look rather then the Apartment Building. Probably I will do one more Apt Building just to complete. Maybe something modern with balconeys. Thats it for now. Thanks for reading if you stuck through this long rant :giggler: ================================================================================ ================================================================================ : Last series : 2nd Nov 2008 at 6:03 PM : https://modthesims.info/journal.php?do=showentry&e=3100 ================================================================================ I think i am finished with the mediterranean series. I did want to include 3 starters. The lots would be cute. I just got back from Puerto Rico and I would make them similar to some I saw there. Im not sure what to do yet. I am anxious to do some Apartment lots. First I would like to PLAY AL. I havent had a chance to do that yet Rose ================================================================================ ================================================================================ : Oh yeah, my pet peave : 21st Oct 2008 at 1:34 AM : https://modthesims.info/journal.php?do=showentry&e=3070 ================================================================================ Now how do I say this without offending. But it just drives me crazy sometimes. Why do some people think that just because they made something, it should be uploaded? One of the earlier starter lots I made was called oak street or something. At the time, I thought it was quite an accomplishment. Now I look at it and say ick. It wasnt great but some people liked it I guess. So yes, I uploaded it, and it got accepted. If it hadnt, I wouldnt be ranting in the forum saying my lot, which is the most awesome in the history of MTS2. should have been accepted. But there are some people that do just that. It reminds me of the people that go on American Idol and you see them on the bloopers. When they dont get to go to Hollywood, they all say the same thing - Wait till you see me when Im a star. Well thats my rant. I'll probably delete this now that I said it, hehe ================================================================================ ================================================================================ : Some New Stuff : 21st Oct 2008 at 1:07 AM : https://modthesims.info/journal.php?do=showentry&e=3069 ================================================================================ Ive been building some new lots again. This is a mediterranean type of series. I guess you can say its they type of thing you would find in Florida, California or sometimes Las Vegas. I think theyre coming out ok. Ive only uploaded one so far. These are mostly furnished. Furnishing takes me more time than the actual building. Thats why I love just uploading unfurnished lots. But then, not many people prefer unfurnished. Anyway, I hope these meet approval. They've been fun to create ================================================================================ ================================================================================ : Picked Uploads : 13th Sep 2008 at 9:32 PM : https://modthesims.info/journal.php?do=showentry&e=2988 ================================================================================ Another one of my lots got picked. That makes 7! I'm very excited. If I understand correctly things become picked based on people downloading and other factors, and it's some strange formula. An item becomes "Featured" when it is selected by the MTS2 staff. I think it's great when the mods and staff select your work. Theyre experts in a way. But to me, Its more rewarding to get a picked upload. That means the community really likes it-I think. Well either way I'm grateful. I'm so insecure :cry: ================================================================================ ================================================================================ : I cant make this a Guestbook : 8th Sep 2008 at 4:06 AM : https://modthesims.info/journal.php?do=showentry&e=2953 ================================================================================ We are supposed to have the option but I don't. Hmmm. Maybe I am doing something wrong. ================================================================================ ================================================================================ : Apartment Life : 1st Sep 2008 at 3:37 AM : https://modthesims.info/journal.php?do=showentry&e=2922 ================================================================================ I don't have my laptop back from HP yet. I still have no idea if they wiped out my hard drive, and therefore everything I was creating. The thought of having to redo everything is too monumental to contemplate. And I REALLY liked what I was making. Now I'm thinking of AL. The only way I could get in the mood to make anything is if I have a new expansion. But it will take me a while playing it, and getting a feel. Ive been looking forward to AL mainly cause I favor urban settings. The only problem, well actuall only two problems are I need something to play it on and its still buggy. New expansions are bug ridden. I usually wait 6 months before buying. It looks really cool. I like the new additions like spiral stairs and the bed in the wall. ================================================================================ ================================================================================ : Gone for good? Maybe : 19th Aug 2008 at 5:45 AM : https://modthesims.info/journal.php?do=showentry&e=2896 ================================================================================ Well I started a new lot series. I really liked this one too. The theme was something a little different from my urban stuff. I made 3 preliminary lots and they may be gone for good. All the work was done, pics, description and everything. I have this stupid habit of uploading in groups. I just like to keep them together, assuming they all get approved of course. But guess what? Without any warning one day, my computer had a major critical event and I dont know if its alive. Theres no video so I dont know whats going on with it. HP says I need to replace the system board. Well, that may wipe out my hard drive and everything I had saved. All my other uploads were on it too so they may be gone. Even my work files and sketches are gone. I have an old backup but it wont save the new stuff. OH WELL :cry: Oh and right now Im just using a laptop. The other thing has all the graphics and bells and whistles. So if the lots are gone, I have to decide if I want to attempt to recreate. It seems like so much work right now that I cant even think about it. I should have saved on a cd, I know....too late now ================================================================================ ================================================================================ : The Community : 30th Jul 2008 at 1:13 AM : https://modthesims.info/journal.php?do=showentry&e=2833 ================================================================================ The Sims community, and particularly the MTS2 community is incredible. They are the nicest group of people. It amazes me how they will take the time to leave such nice messages or just say thanks. The people here are so ready to help or give a suggestion. I just want to say how much I appreciate it. It's what makes me want to keep creating stuff! Hopefully, I can make things that will be liked. Thanks everyone. And thanks to the moderators and admins too :D ================================================================================ ================================================================================ : Picked Upload : 22nd Jul 2008 at 3:40 AM : https://modthesims.info/journal.php?do=showentry&e=2813 ================================================================================ This is so strange. One of my Soho Starter lots is a picked upload. I don't remember the lot having a star next to it. It was uploaded sometime in April. Could I have never noticed that it was picked? Is it possible to get it as a picked upload months later. Well, either way, I appreciate the little star very very much. ================================================================================ ================================================================================ : Can't decide what to do : 19th Jul 2008 at 11:23 PM : https://modthesims.info/journal.php?do=showentry&e=2805 ================================================================================ :new: Well, I doubt very much if I will attempt another sim in the "other" category. Theyre supposedly not unique enough. To me they look like real people warts and all and not big aliens with dish plate eyes. So probably I am sticking with lots for MTS2. I want to do something in a series. I personally just enjoy them and they make me feel complete. I think the community likes things in sets also. Im leaning towards no cc, base game with maybe one or two starters included in the series. It takes more time to furnish but I may do partial furnishings. If I have an unfurnished or furnished version for a lot, the downloads are split. So, theres not a definate trend. Alot of people don't want cc. No one doesnt dl a lot simply because it lacks cc. Unless its just dreary and ugly. I do alot of cheats to get different looks with maxis stuff. Its fun and challenging. Granted, there are some that will not dl a lot because it has move object, boolprop cheats, etc. I will decide on a theme first. I dont do cute very well. Big mansion types are a drain on most peoples computers. I know Im probably just talking to myself here :) But if anyone happens to read this, suggestions are always welcome ================================================================================ ================================================================================ : Challenges : 19th Jul 2008 at 12:29 AM : https://modthesims.info/journal.php?do=showentry&e=2802 ================================================================================ If I wasn't such a coward I would submit something. Actually its because I would probably be over my head. Small fish in a big pond of talent. I kinda miss my Sims families. I may check in on them. I havent since last October or so. There's a new expansion coming out, Apartments. I may kill off alot of my older sims to make room for a whole new neighborhood of urban dwellings. I heard that they may write some code in the software that limits the installations. That would deter me. I noticed that MTS2 has made some inprovements to the uploading area. Great news. It was such a hassle at times. What really drives me crazy is the cc requirements. Some of the items I have are really old and the original creator is long gone and I cant link back to them. I know I just have to omit it from the lot. But sometimes it's SOOO perfect that it makes me cry to leave it out ;p MTS2 should allow for that somehow. Maybe put some disclaimer after the original creators name. Like ((Gone but not forgotten)) lol ================================================================================ ================================================================================ : Hi again : 17th Jul 2008 at 5:05 AM : https://modthesims.info/journal.php?do=showentry&e=2796 ================================================================================ I need a reason to play and create for the Sims. Havent visited MTS2 in a while. Maybe I just needed a change of scenery. I don't think I will be uploading here, at least for the near future. There just doesnt seem to be much of an interest in the things I like to make so it's not worth the effort of the upload :) There are some creators that just get it so right. I mean they upload something and bam, 900gazillion uploads the same day. And millions of thanks. But it's strange cause Ive seen the opposite too. There's some creations that just take your breath away. Really intensive photos and videos as well. And they get 100 uploads if at all! Oh well, who knows :rolleyes: ================================================================================ ================================================================================ : What Ive learned so far : 26th May 2008 at 1:34 AM : https://modthesims.info/journal.php?do=showentry&e=2638 ================================================================================ Echo, I do understand really. Its just that I was startled by it and thought it was a little overkill. The majority of the mods on this site are extremely nice and helpful. So it balances out. But maybe the moderators should be able to send an email called a heads up instead of a warning for something as innocent. Then if its repeated I could see getting a little stronger with a warning. But the impression I get from this site is this. They are big, they are popular, and if someone expresses a concern, they can just go elsewhere. jasonduskey, I was reading from that link. I never realized how political things were. This explains a lot to me. What I did notice was this. Featured creators seem to have a fan club. Their creations have thousands of downloads and thanks. Whether the creation is up to their standard or just passable. It doesnt matter. Then some new creator comes along. They upload something that is incredible and yet get very few downloads or thanks. Its like people want to have something from a "celebrity" It gives them more satisfaction to have something that is maybe mediocre but from one of the stars, than to have something great from an unknown. Its all glitz, even in the World of the Sims ================================================================================ ================================================================================ : Soured : 24th May 2008 at 1:33 AM : https://modthesims.info/journal.php?do=showentry&e=2634 ================================================================================ I'm not much of a forum poster. Once in a while I look at the downloads to see what others are doing. I was looking at one lot and the creator wasnt quite sure if something they added looked good. I posted, what I thought was a feedback comment saying I thought it was great. Well. Lo and Behold and to my shock I received what is called a "Warning" for posting feedback instead of "thanks" First of all, I wasnt thanking, I didnt even dl the lot. You know, I dont mind if my parents warn me, or my boss, or someone or something important. But when a website gives "warnings" for pushing what they thought was a wrong button, It kind of turns me off. I expressed my feelings to the webmaster and received a reply. It was a very nice explanation and I can understand why they need to be able to make corrections. But WARNING!? Give me a break. So I havent really been logging on that much. Just kind of left me cold. I'm still creating, but exploring also. Thats another journal entry so stay tuned :) ================================================================================ ================================================================================ : Possibilities : 14th May 2008 at 12:37 AM : https://modthesims.info/journal.php?do=showentry&e=2615 ================================================================================ Well ok. My first journal entry went through and no one hit me! :D I've taken a bit of a break from building. The last group of lots were kinda labor intensive. I'm not sure what I want to do next. I usually like to make things in a series rather then a lot here or there. I have been working on a few sims for my own game and I may work on them as uploads. Although Sim building has never gone well for me lol. ================================================================================ ================================================================================ : I have a journal : 14th May 2008 at 12:02 AM : https://modthesims.info/journal.php?do=showentry&e=2614 ================================================================================ I basically ignored this. Its probably a place for me/others to ramble. There have been times that I wouldnt mind doing that. Probably worried if writing would bring the rath of a mod/admin down upon me was the main reason for not writing anything. Don't get me wrong. I love this site and think its run well. But there seems to be a rule everytime you turn around. I'm just not used to that. So lets see what happens. If someone from MTS2 comes to my house an takes my first born, I will not write in the journal. If nothing happens,(phew) maybe I will jot down some items I have on my mind Rose ================================================================================ : ---End File---
