just a quick question regarding automatic decetion of EPs required for lots...you say that when uploading a lot the system will determine which EPs are required based on what you have checked in your profile... i have two seperate PCs that have two different versions of the game (one with the EPs, one with only the base game) and i upload lots from both setups....is this going to cause issue for me when i upload a base game only lot? is there an option to remove "EP required" from the upload if it doesn't require them? thanks in advance and thanks for all the wonderful changes being implemented!

My policy is: If you have any complaints about anything at all...I hate you.

I don't know if someone's already don't you this (there are so many posts here that I don't have patience to read them all, sorry) but the new technology for the thanks button is freakish. For instance: Someone had around 25 thanks. Then I pressed thanks button. Now they have 13 thanks. I leave the page and then come back seconds later, and they have 17 thanks... This is creepy.

The thanking prob *seems* to be cosmetical to me (still confusing though) -- just tried with this thread: http://www.modthesims2.com/showthread.php?t=224203

* 94 thanks upon load
* after i thanked, thanks count went down to 9
* refreshing the page displays 96 thanks (somebody else thanked as well, i guess?)

Okay, testing this on a thread with no comments and one thank before I thanked, with not the most popular sort of content on it (so unlikely to get thanked again within a few seconds).
My connection is a being bit slow, but this download seemed to be fairly unpopular (it's actually a very lovely house, but it has alot of custom content, so yeah =/), so it should be a good test still...

Okay. It said one thank. I thanked it, and after it finished processing, it said there was only one thank still. I refreshed again, and it said two thanks. Hmm.

Jazcmx - Just put something in the first box, then check the "I made this" block to avoid filling out the next two boxes. You can copy what you wrote in the first box to all the other first boxes (if you have more than one item).
I know you used to be able to choose "Maxis recolor" before the custom content option; now you say recolor on the next page. By the time the thread is approved, it won't say "custom content created by..."

is it alright to have an option to skip the Custom Content page when in Main Text all those custom contents are mentioned?

It's really frustrating copy every info and creator names for every small piece while most or all of them are by the same person... back and forth forever in a large collection of files.

Now, I understand why some creators would like to package dissectable files into one whole big package!

Probably, making it a as a group or category for a particular maker(s).
Say:
1. a check box to list the maker(s) for a group of cc
2. some check links for a group of cc
3. "select all" and "select none" options or even "select the 1st half" and "select none for the 1st half"/"select the 2nd half"... for the "I'm the creator" and probably various options...
4a. range-based check option (just like how we select things with the shift key): since some creators do work hard to name their files systematically, there can be consecutive files listed alphabetically. By activating a check box for such option, one can select an ini check box and then the final check box of that series of cc. That will automatically check all the boxes in-between. Surely, late minor revision is allowed...

4b. or, a group/category check box with "select all" and "select none".


I know it's gonna be some more works...

But, I tend to believe that may ease the process quite a bit.


For the "Main Text": there can be a engine-based auto-search or auto-query system to check for the section title "Custom Contents" and its recommended formats to ease the cc infos input.

Lol, just a prompt feedback after checking 50-something similar items by the same maker... for an upload...

Sorry, if this sounds a rant.. I apologise for that... But if you find a bit of it useful, go ahead... If not, ignore it... I'm done with my impulsive "brainstorm".

After all, thank you so much for all the hard and beautiful works and share them with all includng me...

Musicman, you made the mesh. Try looking in SimPE in the plugin view at your gmdc. And if it's more than 800 per tile, you better go back and learn a lot more about meshing.
