The Sims Resource vs. The Store
Hello all, I have a somewhat very convoluted question that I hope I can pose here in a way that people will understand. Not because of their inability to understand, of course, but my own inabil...

You don't have to pay for an account on The Sims Resource. Even if you did, TSR couldn't even pay me to download its content. It's a place for garbage tier content that's often ugly or broken or both. It's not worth money and it's not worth their greedy ad placement. If I need something from TSR, I don't pay them and I use Adblock and NoScript plugins so they get as little money from me as possible.
And even then, it's not necessarily a replacement for The Store. Yeah it's greedy DLC paywalling for a game that's almost a decade old, but I use little third-party furniture and a load of it from The Store because it is nice. Same goes for clothes, hairs, etc. It is for sure better than TSR I terms of content quality.
The most economic answer: none of that nonsense. Trawl the tags on Tumblr. Go to Lana's Finds. Ask people who have games that look attractive to you where they get their CC. At least for TS3, people retexture hairs originally hosted on The Sims Resource all the time and include everything, so you're not wasting time and ad placement (or god forbid, money) on bottom-tier textures. I really have not seen an original hair creator use textures that aren't butt-ugly. (If people retexturing their hair makes them mad, it might be worth it figure out why ¯\_(ツ)_/¯)
Or pick up Adblock plus the TSR Ad Skipper if you must: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/tsr-ad-skipper/fekenfibegpnbagmldepdeajhbgodbae?hl=en-US
