Oh how I love to create!  I really do love building & making new pets!  OK I'm not that fond of making the packages up......that is not nearly as enjoyable to me as the creating part within the game is.  HOWEVER........I do it because of all the wonderful people who download.  The comments keep me inspired to keep on submitting.  The kudos we get for uploading are a nice way of "payment", but the best payment of all are the wonderful comments I see on my creations.  I got pretty good at making MAXIS look good (yes thats right people "MAXIS can look good") while I was unable to have my game run letalone WITH custom content.  But now even though I am able to have all sorts of cc goodies......I'll still mostly upload in 100% MAXIS ONLY!   I know I could probably get a few more people downloading my lots if I used cc......& I probably will use cc in lots here & there.........but I just think it takes a bit more "imagination" to put together a nice 100% MAXIS lot.  It's just an opinion that it's easier to make lots "sell" with cc than MAXIS.......but I'd rather stick to MAXIS.  My Mom asked if there was any way to "get paid" for making all these lots & pets.......eh not really.  If some day I got to be an SA......OMG that would be SOOO AWESOME!!!  Free TSR membership........BRING IT ON!  BUT as I said before......it's the wonderful comments that keeps me submitting.  If I were doing the building JUST FOR ME.......I'd use what ever cc I like cuz there's no problem using whatever for your own use.  So I guess this is mostly a "thank you" to all of the TSRians who've left me lovely comments & words of encouragement. <3 <3 <3 <3 <3
