Monthly Message: Where's Our Donation Box?

If you have tried clicking the button above you, first how kind of you for trying, but you'll notice it doesn't link you anywhere. That's because there is no such thing as donating here. And as I've vowed before, there will never be an option to donate your money to support Underneath Sims. There is no cost for hosting the web-server since Blogger provides it for free, and everything else is taken care of. Profiting from just merely distributing CC is possibly worse than charging subscriptions and donations for CC items. If I didn't create anything, why should I receive real cash for it? With that being said, I also don't think anyone creating CC should be making money off it of either, because Sims is something (most of us) actually paid for, and I have the EULA to back up my opinion. But there's enough ruckus about that already, and that's beside the point. 

So what runs Underneath Sims? As cheesy as it sounds (and trust me, I'm the one who scoffs at anything cheesy), it is the gratitude and support that runs this blog. Honestly, and without a doubt, the lack of comments and emails unlike the plenty that I receive, would probably have caused this whole thing to shut down. During the winter I contemplated it and neglected UTS3 while I was on a break. When I returned to the cyber world, I was surprised by the many emails and comments that had mounted during my absence.  I'm always grateful for those who take the time to write me or write a thankful comment. :)

In the next post, you'll see that there is a different kind of donation that I'm willing to accept, solely because it benefits all of you and makes me less busy. If you have subscriber or donation items that are not yet on here, and you are willing to share (this is entirely up to you), I will accept file donations and I will put them up here. I would always credit or note which items are from donors. If they are hair items, they would likely to have been up here anyway, but sending in new donation/subscription items makes it much quicker for me to share. You can feel free to share any item, from lots to makeup, as long as they are in .sims3pack. If you'd like to share some of your items, send me an email at hipsikum@gmail.com 

I hope this also clarifies why I haven't been posting consistently this month. Even though I love all of you, and I enjoy blogging, it is not my main priority. It's not a job (considering how I don't profit) but more like a hobby. Sometimes I have a lot of time to post, like last month, and sometimes I don't. April and May are super busy months for me, and I appreciate your patience. 

Running UTS3 benefits me in the way giving a gift would. You don't really gain anything besides that giddy feeling of accomplishment. And that alone is worth it. :)
