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...

Store: I bought all the sets that contained items I wanted. I didn't worry about included items that I didn't particularly want; I regard them as a bonus for getting the set. I don't 'own the Store' and probably never will. I purchased what I was primarily interested in (hair, clothing, venues, premium content, and worlds) and spent the remaining points on sets that interested me (focusing on the DD and cascades to make my simpoints go as far as possible). I've ended up with furniture sets I may never use as I'm not much of a builder or decorator, but you never know.
TSR: I've never bothered with a subscription and I don't use an ad blocker on that site. I'm careful what I click on and haven't had any problems. I don't go there often though. I have some hair styles and clothing, maybe 1 buy mode object from TSR. The hairstyles I've gotten range from somewhat broken, too shiny and oddly textured to really, really nice work that I use frequently. The clothing has been a bit better, but some of the older stuff was never updated to work with the muscle slider. I don't use TSR for furniture because I'm not a builder/decorator and the EP/Store content I already have easily overwhelms me to so many choices.
If I was going to download a lot of stuff from TSR I'd probably consider a subscription. I have enough in my game currently though so I don't ever see that happening.
