This one here I am 100% sure it uses someone's CC. I thought it was Rose's but I cannot find it.

    I think its because when they launched TS3 web site, they asked people to send in Sims to be the default avatars users can choose. At least that is what I've read and it makes sense. There was a thread a while back listing all the users who had them uploaded but I'm to lazy to search it.

    That's what I've always wondered! I see premade ones left and right that use CC hairs, and I'm just like "What?" Why wouldn't they want to promote their own hairs?

    Yeah. Lol. That is definitely a good explaination. I still don't understand why they wouldn't want to make their own avatar Sims to help promote their own products. *Shrugs* Oh wellz. That's their business I guess. : )))

    I guess. Lol. I probably would feel special if I where wondering about the forums and saw people using an avatar with a Sim I made. Lol.

    Yes, that's what they did. I entered two of my sims when they did it and one was picked to be a premade avatar (Cody).

    But in the rules they stated NO CC could be used on the sim. I'm not even sure if default replacements were allowed. But either way, I'm surprised they included a sim with custom content, even though it clearly was using CC.

    It's really weird. :lol: Sometimes I forget that I entered that contest and see my sim popping up around the forums.

    Lol, I never even noticed that! Why would they pick avatars with CC? Don't they like their own stuff?

    I think that as the contest progressed more and more people started submitting sims that contained CC. I actually think it was kind of cool that they allowed a few sims with CC in despite the original rules--they truly reflect the community as many of us use CC.

    Here's a link to the contest in case anyone is interested in taking a walk down memory lane!

    Same here! The first time I saw someone using my Sim as their avatar I was like "Okay, random," then she was like everywhere! WTH?!?! Then I remembered entering the contest! :lol: I still get a chuckle everytime I see her floating around.
