CTX, just for the record, I am not ticked off, but I did feel the need to stress that testers need to first help Rflong find any problems before we can start taking apart the window dressing. I know you were just making suggestions, and I truly did not mean to insult you, but it has been my experience if people start bringing up the decor and things before a world has been thoroughly tested for problems, it tend to sway other testers to start looking and adding suggestions for how the world should look and no longer concentrating on potential problems. I am truthfully trying to steer folks away from things they can actually change them selves back to the path we really need the worlds tested for that only the creator can fix. It is easier for Rflong to fix real problems before they publish their world for the general public in the testing phase, so that is where we all really need to concentrate. Just like I advise people who want to help test do not use mods and CC while testing - don't even build or add anything to the world of your own if you are testing. Play the world exactly as you find it so that way there is no chance a problem can be brought into the world that does not exist as creators are known to pull out their hair and go through torture trying to fix a problem they can't even duplicate because a user has added the problem to the world on their end. Sure you want to know if your own stuff and ideas work in a world, but not at the expense of the creator. Once we all have an all clear on what the creator presented us with - then is the time to try our own thing in a world. But when ever you bring any outside things into a world whether it is a CC pattern or a mod, or even if you break ground to build your own lot, it is very possible to distort and create a problem in the world that only you will see.
I, in no way have problems with suggestions but as a tester and not the creator we need to stay focused on first making sure the world itself is stable and unfortunately many people will see one person go off in a tangent and others will be chiming in and following, and we end up losing focus. That's all. So please don't be offended - I am known as a hard tester and probably too bossy by most peoples standards. I seem to have this take charge mannerism when I am not in charge and if I do offend anyone, please just try and dismiss it, as I do try and treat every test as serious business even though I know this is just a game. Definitely do not let my bossiness push you away from testing, as the more eyes we have the sooner the creator has the product they want to share with everyone.
