Finally submitted 4 Native American outfits

It took me much longer than I anticipated. There are 2 elders and 2 teens. I am still working on the other six. They are the 2 adults, 2 children, and 2 toddlers outfits. I will submit them as soon as possible. :) Here is a picture of the Elder Chief ensemble.

Policy & there's only one BBKZ/ Regulamin & info o klonach

What is the worst feeling for me as a creator? When I see somebody claims my items as his own and uploads them at other sites. That kind of people think that they can do everything they want. But that's not truth!

I had situations that I found my items published as somebody's work. It happened few times at MTS2 and once at TSR! Few people presented my sim fashion as their own at Polish site too. They have been banned. Stolen creations have been deleted.

There have been two worse situations during last month. Somebody created accounts on Polish sites as "BBKZ". She/he stole my work and my personality. She/he tried to interfere in my private life and use my name to his/her illegal purposes! That's unforgiveable!

It's impossible to find all stolen creations. But there's one thing you should know: I publish my items only at TSR. There's no legal way to see my creations at other sites. If you notice some of my files, please let me know - write me PM, give links etc. I'd very glad for any help.

You HAVE my permission to:
- use my creations in your game, screenshots, stories, videos;
- if you want to upload a sim, you can show my creations on your models (with giving credit) but only on preview pictures (you can't include my creations with your uploaded sims).

You DON'T HAVE my permission to:
- show and claim my work as yours;
- upload my creations at any free or pay site;
- copy any part of my textures and paste on other meshes;
- recolor my textures;
- add my creations to your uploaded sims or other uploaded files.

I don't make any exceptions.

Be sure - there's easy way to check, if somebody's work is stolen work.

I hope everything is clear for everybody. These words are only for having no doubts what you may or may not do. If you are fair with me, you don't have to be afraid ;-)

If you have any questions, please write them here in "Comments" - I will answer here and in your Guestbook.

Hugs and kisses,
Barb :-)

P.S. Below you can notice the same policy but written in Polish, hihi.

Jakie jest najgorsze uczucie dla mnie jako kreatorki? Zobaczyc przypisanie sobie mojej pracy i opublikowanie jej na innych stronach. Tacy ludzie zawsze mysla, ze wolno im wszystko. Ale tak nie jest!

Znalazlam sie w kilku sytuacjach, gdy zobaczylam, jak ktos opublikowal moje prace jako swoje wlasne. Kilkakrotnie zdarzylo sie to na MTS2, raz tutaj na TSR. Kilka osob zaprezentowalo moje ciuszki jako swoje na polskiej stronie. Osoby te zostaly zbanowane. Skradzione prace skasowano.

Ponadto w ciągu ostatniego miesiąca dwa razy ktoś założył na polskich forach konto "BBKZ" i nie tylko ukradła moje prace, ale też podszywała się pode mnie, opowiadała bzdury innym user'om oraz pr�bowała wnikać w moje prywatne życie. Zgodnie z polskim prawem od razu ta osoba powinna być usunięta!

Niemozliwym jest znalezienie wszystkich skradzionych prac. Jedno musicie wiedziec: publikuje swoje pliki tylko i wylacznie na TSR! Nie ma legalnej szansy na sciagniecie moich prac z innych stron. Jesli jednak dojdzie do takiej sytuacji i ktos z Was sciagnal ktoras z moich prac z innej strony - prosze, dajcie mi znac poprzez PW. Podajcie takze linki, itp. Bede niezmiernie wdzieczna za pomoc.

UDZIELAM pozwolenia na:
- uzywanie moich plikow w grze, na fotkach z gry, simowych historyjkach, czy filmach;
- jesli chcecie opublikowac swojego sima, mozecie pokazac go/ja w moim ubranku (podajcie mnie jako autora ciuszkow), ale tylko i wylacznie na prezentacyjnej fotce. Nie zgadzam sie na zalaczanie zadnego mojego ciuszka do publikowanych simow!

NIE UDZIELAM pozwolenia na:
- pokazywanie i przypisywanie sobie moich prac jako Wasze wlasne;
- publikowanie moich plikow na innych darmowych czy platnych stronach;
- kopiowanie jakichkolwiek czesci moich tekstur (ubranka) i wklejanie na inne meshe;
- rekolorowanie moich tekstur (zmiany tonacji kolorow);
- dolaczania moich kreacji do Waszych publikowanych simow lub innych publikowanych plikow.

Nie robie zadnych wyjatkow.

Badzcie pewni - istnieje bardzo prosty sposob na sprawdzenie, czy czyjas praca nie jest praca kradziona.

UWAGA: W zwiazku z pojawieniem sie osoby podszywajacej się pode mnie na stronie "esims.pl" oraz "thesims.com.pl" zareczam, ze pojawiam się wylacznie na TSR i pojawialam na stronie Centrum Simow (www.simy.pl). NIE MA MOZLIWOSCI obejrzenia mnie i moich prac na innych forach. Nie ma i nie bedzie. Jesli ktos o moim nicku pokazuje moje prace w innych miejscach - to "podszywacz". W takich przypadkach proszę o powiadomienie tamtejszych administrator�w i nakazanie ukarania zlodzieja "prac i osobowości" (czyli zbanowania i usunięcia z listy użytkownik�w).

Mam nadzieje, ze wszystko jest jasne dla wszystkich. Wszystkie te slowa sa jedynie dla pewnosci, co mozecie, a czego nie mozecie robic w moimi plikami. Jesli jestescie uczciwi wobec mnie, nie macie sie czego bac ;-)

W przypadku jakichkolwiek pytan, piszcie je smialo tutaj w "Komentarzach" - odpowiedzi udziele tutaj, a takze w Waszych ksiegach gosci.

Usciski i buziaki,
Barb

P.S. Serwer TSR nie obsluguje polskiej czcionki. Wybaczcie zatem brak polskich znakow.

Honest Opinions Needed

I hand drew the scrolls on this wall, and used a free tube for the fairies on the walls. Hope everyone likes. Picture posted below.

My next wall attempt. 1/2 way decent?

These are a ROUGH draft of a wall idea I have. When I get homecrafter to load I'll fix up the coloring of the walls. I just want to show off the color scheme and pattern for the mo. ;) (I saw the the pink on the dark blue walls.......it's one of the color fixes I will be doing) What do you think, 1/2 way decent? If I get homecrafter to load I'll make them as a paint and have them for $0 for those cash-strapped Sims. ;)

Free Schedule: One dilly of a month...

FREE SCHEDULE!

YAY! I finally figured out how to set a free schedule. I will be posting the dates of certain lots I shall set free for one week at a time. :D It's just my way of saying "Thank you!" to all of you who were downloading my things WAY before I was an FA. Thanks guys/gals!

8/23/08 - 8/30/08 The Havorford - Family Home
8/30/08 - 9/06/08 Brynfeld Family Home
9/07/08 - 9/14/08 Rinaldis Fine Dining and The Cobalt Club

I do have plans to post polls to see what lots you are interested in sampling. Bear in mind that they must be at LEAST 3 months old, and I don't plan on doing this EVERY week, but as often as I can. :) Thanks!

One Dilly of a Month!

This month has seen a lot of amazing things happen in my life, I have learned how to make hotels...and I LOVE them...I have been granted a promotion I was certainly not expecting...~newTLCo~ sent me the most AMAZING PM...my youngest son read ME a nighttime story instead...but none compares to what I face tomorrow. My eldest is leaving for college...I am SO proud of him! So if I have been a little late with thanks on comments or guestbook, PLEASE forgive me! I will be caught up soon...I just really need to spend a little time with my eldest before he leaves home to finish becoming the successful and fine young man I know he really is.

Just wanted to give you all a heads up. Will be back in fine...if misty-eyed form...after the weekend. :D Thanks all!

Diana

lisa9999 is a very sweet playerartist with a very sweet dog named Diana. Since Lisa approved of the pix of Diana here is the FINISHED collage for Diana which has been uploaded & is now just waiting for TSR to let her wag her way onto everyone's hard-drive.

Bitter, but sweet, I hope...

As you know, it's all about Peony Floor Collection, that is still pending from more than 2 weeks. They are still pending, of course, but eventually the mail came on Thursday, where the staff lady explained to me that the floors are still pending because they look broken, it est: they are not seamless. I asked for checking the set again, because maybe the fact that pictures on TSR are displayed on the white background makes the person responsible for accepting stuff unable to see the difference - the white frame around every tile. Silence since then. But now all my creations are pending, so I'm just helpless. What to do? What can I do to have my problem solved? I can do nothing.

I hope that I'm wrong, but it seems that it's all ok when you sit quietly and nod, admitting everything the admins say. "It's not looking good", they say, and you have to obey, saying with quiet voice "Yes, master, you're right, it's not looking good, I admit, please, accept the rest of my humble creations".

But I am a perfectionist. I know, that when I upload something, it is of a good quality, because I do not upload things that I wouldn't download myself, and I have very high quality criteria. And when I hear such an oppinion about my items (that they cannot be uploaded because people on TSR have to take care about the quality of the objects to download), I get furious. What about this hair from 2005 that may have been great item 3 years ago, and now even the creator is ashamed of it? What about the ugly hair in 50 neon colours, not even recoloured properly, but only poured with colour? Grr.

So I have serious doubts whether the staff is not planning to delete my account, at least via trying to stop me from uploading. It's up to them, I must admit. So we shall see.

But I still hope it will be solved peacefully. I wish it to!!! Because I love TSR very much, I love my lovely friend I made here, BBKZ, and I just love it here! I want to stay!

SO please, TSR staff, let me be!!!
