Is it worth paying for the sims resource?

just wandering, does anyone have or had an account at tsr

and is it worth paying about 8 pound for two months or not?Is it worth paying for the sims resource?
Absolutely not. Paysites are a huge controversy in the sims community and basically they have no legal basis for charging you for content which doesn't actually belong to them. Copyright belongs to EAxis. EAxis ignores their rights but large parts of the community loathe TSR and consider them a blight on the community. No other game community expects you to pay for fan made content only greedy sims sites owners like TSR.



You can pick up much better stuff elsewhere - someone suggested MTS2 which is an excellent site and COMPLETELY FREE. That is the site where some of the tools TSR use to make their pay stuff were made. Were made for everyone to use for FREE. It's also the site where most of us learned to mod the game - including the vast majority of the creators for TSR - tutorials and forum pages are available to everyone for FREE. Also, TSR are known for bad and, in most countries, strictly illegal business behaviour like having no refund policy, customer service or sharing your personal details with other sites (really), They also steal other people's stuff and ideas.Is it worth paying for the sims resource?
I don't think it is. Frankly, a lot of the content on TSR is low quality; anybody can submit stuff, which makes it a free-for-all, like the exchange.



Check out http://www.modthesims2.com -- it's free (but you have to register; this helps prevent spam) and very high quality. See if you like it better.
