My TS3 Blog:

[Tina ☺]

My blog was empty because I have never bothered to post anything in it before, but for some reason, I just felt like blathering about something, so I did.

Check it out if you want!

My Very First Blog Posting

[jillyson]

I like it when people put music in, but I seldom get to enjoy it, because I'm always on line around others in the house, so I usually have my sound turned off on my computer. When I notice it, I usually try & go back to hear it when I can. I get to experience music I may not have heard before.

[Tina ☺]

I just have this thing about being 'forced' to listen to music when visiting a web page. Sometimes you get 'blasted' unexpectedly out of nowhere.

Ah well, I just got tired of seeing my page say, 'You have 0 blog posts', or whatever it says. Plus I was hoping someone at EA sees that bit about the 'store'.

[jillyson]

I just posted story links in mine! Lol!

[Sawyer]

Ugh. Your post sums up exactly how I feel about TS3 store. I'm paying for pixels? Wtf? And poor quality pixels at that? Come on, EA.

[Tina ☺]

I never even thought about that, Jill!

Sawyer... I think a LOT of folks feel that way about TS3 Store! I mean, really, it is ridiculous to charge what they do for some of that stuff.

[holleyberry]

I am totally against the Store. I have personally not spent any of my own money there. I have been gifted stuff, and use the free points that come with some of the EP's, but not my own money.
With all the free CC out there, I don't think i'll start buying anything any time soon either.

[Tina ☺]

Me either Holley. I wouldn't spend my own money there for anything! I am of the belief that no one should and if folks would all get together and 'boycott' that stupid store, EA would be forced to do away with it. I believe all that stuff should be things that come with the games anyway.

Thanks Tina, I need a laugh. And I agree, sims stuff should be free unless it's in a Stuff pack or EP be it sims 2 or 3. Down with EA store and pay sites!

PS I left a comment. ;D

[Sawyer]

Sad thing is though, many people don't realize that there's other options for CC. Some of my friends buy TS3 Store stuff without even realizing that there's MTS or Anubis or anything like that.

I know it was a long time before I knew there was anywhere besides the exchange & TSR back when I first got S2.

Tina, I read your page & I do agree with all that you said, I feel the same way,some of the hairs show up weird in my game(Store hair!They end up with a painted head,the hair color, no hair!)But then that could just be my game!lol!
~ I got awarded a trophy from EA,for over 4,000 thousand visits to my S3 page!I have never heard or seen it before now!

[joandsarah]

Sawyer: Then you better enlighten your friends!

karima: Wow really, what did you do? Did they give you some free points with that trophy? Now that would of been worth something.

I could really use a few kids hair dos, but I only want stuff I can put in with the installer. because it's easy and I don't want to hurt my brain over Sim 3 stuff. I need it fresh for my Sims 2 stuff sorting!

[Tina ☺]

Wow... congrats Karima!

LOL... Jo, it is perfectly EASY to put cc in your game that isn't put in by the installer! One day I will take you by the hand and walk you through it.... step by step. What you need is to grab those converted hairs for toddlers from MTS. I find it crazy that kids and tots didn't get much hair with the base game...

Someone at MTS converted all the EA hair that came with the base game to work on toddlers and kids as well, but... you have to learn how to put them into your game without the installer. I couldn't LIVE without the few annoyance-stopping hacks I have either. I don't have many for TS3, but there are a few I wouldn't be able to stand the game without.

[holleyberry]

That hair for the toddlers sounds AWESOME!
I don't have much CC for TS3. I would like to know what hacks Tina feels are necessary
