The Beautiful and Damned, by F. Scott Fitzgerald

Hi there, I was wondering what you do with the copyright of custom content you include in the lots that you upload here. On mod the sims it is expected to give credit to every cc file that was created by someone else on the download, so i was wondering if thats what simmers on tumblr do as well. what do you do? signed, a fellow simmer. x

Hi there! This is a good question. 🙂

For the most part, most TS2 creators are lenient about including their content/meshes in lot uploads. Especially since the game has already been around for so long, many creators are no longer active in the community and have since said that their creations are fileshare-friendly. I won’t lie and say I check the TOU of every creator of every object in my upload (I’m sorry if this is a bad habit, or lack thereof :|), but of course, if I’ve ever unknowingly redistributed something I wasn’t supposed to, I’d be more than happy to rectify that. (Off the top of my head, I can only think of a few CAS item creators who don’t permit redistribution of their meshes, but can’t recall encountering that for build/buy mode.)

As far as crediting goes, it’s not customary (at least, not as far as I’ve seen on tumblr) to provide credit for every item included in the download. The vast majority of us use the CleanInstaller to install lots and Sims, anyway, which provides a complete list of all the content included in the uploaded, which some people screenshot and post as credit. So I’ve occasionally seen it done that way.

Hope that helps! Have a nice day, anon. 🙂

I have a question, can one create cats and dogs in CAS, and assign them as trays with a teleporter shrub? I’d like to make my own stray pets. and if possible make my own NPCs.

Hmmm, I’ve never done this before myself, but I just googled it and apparently this can be done with the SimBlender, the same way you would make someone a townie. 🙂

As for NPCs, I’m pretty sure you have to use SimPE to replace the game-generated NPCs with a custom one you make. But, again, I’ve never done that before, so I could be wrong! If any of my followers have any other/easier ideas, feel free to chime in. 🙂

how your sims look so good in the game? mine all glitchy even if i have good computer and everything is max in the settings :(

I’m sorry, anon! TS2 is just one of those games that always causes problems, no matter how good your computer is!

The good news is that I make my pictures look better with a little photoshop magic. 😉

Here’s an example of an unedited pic from my game, and the edited version after:

As you can see, my game isn’t at all as bright and vibrant during actual gameplay! I run everything through snapdragoned’s PSD (with some extra adjustments to each layer depending on what I’m editing) before posting. 🙂

Hope that helps, anon!

Awwww, look at everyone being studious. :3

After finals, I decided to have Graham check out one of the SSU community lots. Since he’s a big ol’ nerd, he went to the library and proceeded to play a very competitive game of chess against himself.
