TSR has already a Workshop for CC...

[Merlin]

Yeah, it's true, here:
http://www.thesimsresource.com/workshop

http://forums.thesimsresource.com/showthread.php?t=369614

With the support of EA, yeah sure....

I'm so hoping that MTS (f.e.) will be quicker than them...

[timelycorruption]

Looks like crap to me, and I don't even know anything about custom content. Anything built at Redwood Shores, I do not trust.

edit: Oh god, PsychoSue's getting all riled up. SHE MUST. HAVE. RUST.

[seanachai]

So wait. Are they actually making an exclusive custom content tool only for The Shit Resource? Fucking really?

I can only hope that, like most of their products, it's buggy as hell.

Sounds like it, if $teve is enlisting his minions. Moneyons.

Do we know if MTS will be running from MTS2 site... of will there be a new one? And is so, its it up and running? I haven't seen anything.

I think it is going to be all under the same umbrella of www.modthesims.com, from what I remember?  Maybe Delphy and HP have some specific domain picked out though, because it seems that one is not theirs.

Ok kool, I'll keep my eye out. Cause yeah, I have noticed a few sites registered but no action on them like modthesims3.org and all that jazz, she wanted to know where the official stuff will be from those wonderful peops over at MTS2

Not to downplay the TSR hate, but I read both links and I didn't see them make any claims of support from EA (though they carefully alluded to 'our time at EA Redwood' to add credibility--it's a newspaper trick), and they said the EULA will be flexible enough to 'allow distribution of content via any means, including free'. This is somewhat less juicy than I was expecting

[JonaBullets]

But did the EULA of TS2 not say this as well.. But didn't allow the selling of CC? So by "flexible" in the EULA, they are meaning to say, we will let you charge to download CC. Seems TSR are EA are in bed together, I think.

[kiki]

Now either EA has given TSR a final, legit copy of the game that they can use to make this tool...or they're dirty steenkin pirates like the rest of us.

[MickeyJR]

I like how they say they're using TS2 objects and show one. Yet in the same breath say they have added all the channels and such. How can they build an editor with out the code? If they're building it based on the TS2 model man are they in for a suprise. If they're doing it from TS3 then they're well ARGGGG!

They're referring to the EULA of their tool, not the TS3 EULA.

I am not a TSR apologist, but TSR/EA-Fusion-Apocalypse shit-stirring is not really necessary when there's no evidence.

If someone with more knowledge of the situation than me cares to jump in, that'd be great. I'm just going by what I read and I don't see the signs of the apocalypse yet. Maybe I missed them.

I agree, TSR tends to exaggerate how much EA is favoring them, so I sort of doubt they're getting ZOMGEXCLUZIVE!!1. However, I'm still suspicious of TSR and EA lurking around in the shadows and making out with each other as they are wont to do.

[J. M. Pescado]

I see only vaporware. It looks like they only have a generalized capability to understand a common .obj format and display it, without actually being able to do anything USEFUL with it. No need to panic.

[wes_h]

I would never announce vaporware.
I do plan on announcing something soon after June 2 that may change the channel.
That is, if N. Korea doen't nuke me first.

[jfade]

That's basically all it is at this point, import TS2 content or other .obj meshes, separate it into channels. Not much more until the game comes out and they can actually see how to stick the data into a Sims 3 package. Conspiracy theorists can stop panicking. (More so if they'd actually READ to begin with. ) I'm pretty positive that there will be multiple tools out there to all do the same (or similar) things from multiple sources anyhow. I mean look at how many Sims3Pack editors we have so far. (Although mine isn't out there just yet, but still ) So quit getting so worked up about it and chill, good grief.

[Merlin]

Well, Murano said it's "plug-in" based or something like that (he's very proud and uses "the news" already as his signature on another forum... ), and pretty much the same like SimPE.
If that's true and these assholes would be the first with stuff like that, I would be very disappointed to be honest...

[Dizzymental]

It's all good healthy competition.

[I.Am.She]

Someone called "Terry1950" Had this to say in one thread...

As a side note, the modders already have two mods in testing and an empty neighborhood that is in testing. Someone else we all know is hard at work on a new Sims editor and has a bare bones working copy that may be released soon. We will have our CC and mods. We are Simmers, hear us roar. LOL

If he's relating to someone in the TSR community... How on earth are they able to 'test' mods and an empty neighbourhood without having the game.

Unless he/she is referring to MATY?

I'm sure he's referring to MATY and someone who is in both communities - Jfade was a TSR forum moderator, last I remember.

It's definately MATY, TSR can't code for shit.

Wow, I think I lost a few brain cells from reading part of the thread about the workshop.  Cyclonesue asking if she could put her own textures on objects?  Hello what rock have you been under for the last year?  Tabbylou and some others going gawsh I'm sooo glad to know we'll actually be able to make CC for TS3.  Awfully misinformed bunch for being in bed with EA as so many people like to think.

But PsychoSue MUST HAVE RUST!
She NEEDS rust, man.

[Inge]

If they can pull it off, it's gonna be a neat little tool and I will certainly use it (assuming it's free and doesn't come with a clause that automatically uploads everything I make to TSR).

I refuse to let community politics get in the way of enjoying my game to the ultimate.  If I like the tool I will use it and I don't care wtf made it.

Hehe, I don't mind that she likes that look.  One of my TS2 sims has a nifty little converted factory loft apartment slash robot shop thanks largely to her stuff.  I was just amazed at the level of "durrr" coming from FAs/SAs there.  EA has been trumpeting the ability to import your own textures forever.  I wasn't nearly as surprised by Tabbylou's idiocy though since her idea of a kid's bedroom set is one where you've apparently glued Sesame Street wallpaper to the surface of every piece of furniture in the house and stuck it all in the kid's room.
