ts2defaultsThis message is from ZeroDark; it does not represent any other mods unless they choose to agree.
There's a secret this week at SimSecrets about this database. It says we do not update frequently enough and that an unnamed mod does not care about mistakes. You may have seen my angry reaction at GoS - I'm going to leave that message up because I am upset and to delete it would be dishonest - but I've had time to ruminate over the message.
I think that this secret was born from an ignorance about the database and how many submissions we're getting. We are updating all the time. I've personally spent hours this summer maintaining and creating new resources. At one point, I was messaging contributors that there post had been added, but only one person ever responded so I quit doing that and put my time elsewhere.
In fact, we're getting so many posts that compiling them into an update post is impossible. I just took a look at our imgur account and I reckon that, since May we've added over 100 defaults, and that doesn't count the brand new face template posts. So, I'm sorry that we find ourselves unable to send you all update posts. Hopefully, in the future, that can be brought back.
Finally, please understand that all the mods are adults. I personally have a full-time job, a husband, and I love creating so I want to invest time there as well. This database is alive, it is being maintained, and we are doing our level best to continue contributing here and also to the Sims community at large.
If you have a response to this post - positive or negative - please post it here. I believe Anon comments are on. If they are not, please Anon message me via my Tumlbr and I will post them here for you.
