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

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

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

Well ok. My first journal entry went through and no one hit me!
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 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
