    Is there an issue with TSR today?

    Or is it just me?

    I can't download a single CC item from The Sims Resource today, I get the message "invalid download key" every single time. I've never seen this message before today.

      Has the problem fixed itself, yet? I'm able to download things as of now.
      The only time I have that message come up is when I accidently have two items downloading at once.

      @Missmagoo2 - yeah I worked it out, for some reason it defaulted to giving me a free trial of VIP membership, and suddenly I had to click on "add to basket" (and download from there) instead of just hitting the download button.

      I figured I didn't even want the free VIP trial, but I couldn't work out how to turn it off! Oh well, now that I've worked out how to do it, it's okay. I won't be signing up for VIP though when the free trial runs out.

      I know some sites automatically roll over the trial into a full account and charge your card without a reminder, so make sure it gets cancelled before it's over! I've had that happen on another site before... :|

      Thanks @Missmagoo2 - I've noticed some sites do that. In fact, one site recently attempted to do it to my husband.

      Luckily, they don't have my card details, but I will be double checking anyway.

      Yeah I would recommend using an adblocker with there, never trust a download site that requires you to turn off ads to download because that is just welcoming viruses. Just a tip for someone who has been obsessed with the mod communities since TS2 modthesims2 days.

      @Scobre interestingly I did always have the ad blocker on previously, but I VERY recently bought a new PC after my old one died (and it was very old). So I had not actually reinstalled the ad blocker yet.
