Quote - I'm curious why folks purchase figures, clothing, etc from companies rather than doing their own face and body changes themselves eg Victoria 2,3 etc downloads or variations thereof.

Because some of us can't be bothered, or are too stupid (me) and haven't figured out how to do that stuff yet. I made a post asking for help and information on how to make textures because I too think it would be more satisfying to use things that I made myself...at the very least it would give me something else to do other than press buttons.

So I'm working on it :) Another reason is time considerations. From what I can figure out, making nice textured items and figures takes a great deal of time, and looking at the maps, I can see that for myself. Some people want to create figures and use them in the time they have to play in poser, not spend that time in a graphic program trying to make a texture for a skirt. Bascially, bought poser items is like fast food. Quick and satisfying the need. Message edited on: 03/30/2005 15:48

"It is good to see ourselves as others see us. Try as we may, we are never
able to know ourselves fully as we are, especially the evil side of us.
This we can do only if we are not angry with our critics but will take in good
heart whatever they might have to say." - Ghandi
