TSR: Bastard Coated Bastards with Bastard Filling

Many of us have known this for YEARS. I've only come into this knowledge for a year and a half.

They are all things that are bad about this community. They charge for mods, recolors and meshes. What is wrong with this? Well, firstly, you won't find other communities that charge for these sorts of things. Secondly, it goes against EAs TOU. It specifically says in the TOU that you aren't allow to charge for things you make for the game because the .package file type belongs to them, therefore the item then belongs to them. Pretty simple TOU to follow actually.

And yet these bastards and a few others (Rose and Peggy to name two other biggies) flaunt the TOU and charge. And mooks out there PAY for this sort of shit. And trust me, a lot of it is shit.Why EA doesn't do anything about them is a mystery. Some think EA are in cahoots, but I tend to believe EA just can't be arsed into doing anything about it.

Now there are plenty of people out there who do pay but then share these files. Of course this doesn't sit well with TSR. So TSR gets a hair up their asses and goes after sites that purportedly trade these files. This doesn't last long because these sites just move to other places.

One of my favorite sites, Garden Of Shadows, was taken down by their host Go Daddy because of TSR's claims of file sharing and hosting files that 'belong' to them. Liegenschonheit filed a counterclaim. If you want to read more about it, you can, here. You can also go to the phorum at PMBD to check out the thread there. Thankfully, Pescado had backups of the site.

GOS is not going to take this lying down and you can be sure there will be stompy boots and strap-ons for TSR.

Laundry List

What I use on my Sims.

The skin is Nukapei's "Realskin" which is Maxis Matchy and has genitalia. These can be gotten at SexySims or Insimadult. I got the alien one from SexySims and it was one Nukapei suggested. The privates aren't obnoxious. The nipples and areola are cartoony but not ridiculous and definitely not overly realistic. The pubic region is just a thatch of hair. There is no obvious vagina. I don't have "adult" skins for other supernaturals.
The eyes are oepu's Maxis Match defaults from Maxistraum.
They wear Bloom's Sexy Feet and I'm hoping to fix all my outfits that still have block feet.
Attempting to be exclusive to Simgaroop's hair retextures and recolors but have all AlfredAskew hair and a few fanseelamb and HystericalParoxysm. I have a few others I love but I'm hoping Ms Garoop will eventually get around to re-doing them.
Eyebrow replacements are by Strange_Tomato.
I have Crammyboy's Penis.
I love Beos and Marvine's various bodybuilder meshes. All the skins are or will be Maxis Match. Don't you think Frances J needs a lover with a beefy build? I know I do.

My servo is Amaryll's steampunk replacement. This isn't as Maxis Match as I would like but it's brilliant and I hate that stupid Johnny5 wannabe thing. I hated the movie Short Circuit and I wish Johnny5 was not alive. I'm hoping for some equally brilliant recolors of it. There's an futuristic artist who does amazing chrome robot paintings. I want to say HR Geiger but it could be a contemporary of his. Why isn't there more CC based on Geiger or the futuristic art of the '80s? Damn, If I were only a mesher/recolorer type person. But my art is purely and dubiously musical.

A Moment of Brilliance

I went into my hoods to consider deleting Pleasantview and to my surprise I had backed up my entire game (all 4 hoods) on the 17th of March.

This of course means I have to re-age a bunch of people and I had to re-cleanup Wishing Angel Cemetery*.  Since I'd already done that once, I knew what I needed to do. I moved all the Goth gravestones into the mausoleum and included Michael Bachelor this time. Besides, Mike was a grouchy ghost at the Goths. He would constantly think about Bella and then be all angry about Isabella Lothario. As evidenced in these photos.

I'm not sure what was stuck up his invisible butt, but he wasn't happy about it. Sorry about the quality of this composite. I'm still learning how to layer images. I think it gets the point across.

Off to the cemetery with you, Mike. I didn't want him scaring the poo out of Isabella. She's such a cutie pie.

I get so angry when my damn game decides to take a dump on me. I was in Bluewater and decided to set up Chester Gieke in a house and get him underway. I couldn't stand seeing him sitting in the Sim Bin waiting for something to happen. I put some new duds on him and gave him new hair**  and threw a ton of freckles*** on him. He was looking really stylin' (as stylin' as Chet can look). And then I clicked on his dick (I wanted to randomize his manhood) when he got out of the shower and the game crashed. It makes me chuckle to say that, btw. Now I get to start him all over. He wanted to be a Criminal Mastermind. I wonder if he'll still want to be that.







*This lot is brilliant piece of work at Mod the Sims by Pegasus. However, because it's true to the Phantom of the Opera film, it's all done in a winter theme. Since I wanted it in Pleasantview I decided to remove the terrain paints and make the trees green.
** The Long Roger Hair by Shadylady on MTS and recolored by LuciaCarlotta - There's also a hairline out there for that and the short Adam hair by Udontknow. I could have these names mixed up.
*** I totally suggest the freckles by Lagritslammas over at GOS. They are awesome.
