Crediting Custom Content Creators-- without knowing hardly anything.

What bugs me much more is stupid flash sites that don't do directlinks .. the whole "go to My Stuff, then objects, then Somethingorother collection, then surfaces, then tables, and then on page three click that little link on the bottom left of the third image" circus. Argh.
Arrgh and amen. I've recoloured a couple of things for my own use and am thinking about posting them for others to snag and/or point and laugh at, but if I can't even be arsed to find the mesh again to link to it, I certainly wouldn't expect anyone to go through all that hassle. If a recolour doesn't give me a link to the exact page where the mesh is located, I don't even give it a second thought.

MTS2 is a great site, but it can be really difficult when it comes to uploading lots with a lot of CC. Many creators don't put their name on the tooltips/catalog description/etc, but still expect you to keep track of them and their url. Annoying as hell.
You can sometimes get away with a vague reference if you have to-- like modthesims2.com + name of creator. And then hopefully the creator won't pull a Nengi65 and completely disappear, DELETING ALL THEIR STUFF AND BREAKING HALF YOUR UPLOADS.

If you use the Clean Installer to view your files, you'll often see more information about each file than just the generic filename. There's generally a description of the object, as well.

I decided to go with Laverwinklesims. It's a shame all of that good script went to waste, but I really hate plundering small websites one at a time. And I really like the forum method-- as I get time, anyone interested in my updates can be conveniently notified. Once I had the bones of my html all down, I was overwhelmed with the thoughts of filling all of those categories.
Thanks for all of your tips!
One more question-- if I open a Savedsims folder in SimsPE, any easy way to see what mesh it is linked to?
