TSR has gone free for both Sims 2 and Sims 3

I know – it’s a hassle to clean all of the TSR cc out of the downloads, then link to them as ‘required but not included’ etc.

Yes but Angela sometimes you can’t use it at all! Some will only allow you to use it if you’re uploading at TSR. Ask Donna, she knows far more about this than I do.

Sounds like more trouble than it’s worth to me!

That’s why I only go there if I can’t find it elsewhere 🙂

I understand their site will now be funded via advertising. It’s such a popular site that it should do well in that respect. It’s something I’ve been considering myself. I already use Google Ads, but am wondering if I should offer it as an option for advertisers to pay to show their ads here?

Ads slow sites down and apparently that’s what they have done at TSR (was already slow for me). Tbh SFUK loads slowly for me. I can click on Leefish and here at the same time and Leefish loads much faster.

https://adblockplus.org/en/internet-explorer maybe this will help.

I personally find ads annoying, but if they keep content FREE, then it’s worth dealing with the ads. Karen, SFU loads and runs a bit more slowly than other sites for me, too.

I am hoping you are right, Angela…That eventually TSR changes their TOU to share-friendly throughout the community.
Otherwise, I will continue to not visit TSR nor download the creations there.

I hope so too, Sugah.

The reason that our site runs slowly is because we can’t afford a decent server, we really could do with upgrading it. Hence the need for advertising revenue – it’s a vicious circle!

It’s worth things running a wee bit slow here, as it’s a nice place to visit.
SP’s forum host doesn’t have near the whistles and bells your server does, but it’s free.

Nope it’s still Steve and the site is slower than ever and has way more add’s and you get a count down(wait time) with each download. Steve is rather smart because not only does he get money for allowing more add’s he slows the site down even more and entices you to pay for a V.I.P membership for $2.99 to improve the speed That old saying you get what you pay for is very true, if you get my meaning 😉

• Steve Bonham – Producer, Founder
  Steve was the original founder of TSR and responsible for all content on the site. He has been working with TSR since August 1999 and is a vital key to its success so far. He is always working on ways to broaden the usage and value of the site. Steve works closely with EA and has attended their headquarters in Redwood Shores, CA many times and is even mentioned in the credits for the odd Expansion Pack for his work! Profile
• Thomas Isacsson – Graphics/Design & HTML, Founder
  Thomas was also one of the original founders and has worked with TSR since the very beginning. He is the person responsible for all graphical elements and the layout of the site ever since the first TSR redesign several years ago. He is always working on ways to improve the overall layout and usability of the site. Profile
• Johan Isacsson – Programmer, Founder
  Johan is one of the original founders as well and is probably unknown to many. He was the person who built the first downloads archive and the first pieces of functionality when TSR was opened several years ago. He is always working on ways to improve the functionality of the site.
• Jan Isacsson – Business Manager, Founder
  Jan is one of the original founders who has always existed in the background. His many years in the advertising industry brings a lot of valuable experience to the group of owners. He is always working on ways to improve the administration of the site and make sure communication within the group is solid.
