We weren't going to start up TSRAA immediately for two reasons:

(1) Objects are still in beta form and some of us have already had to make wide-ranging updates to our earlier work. We knew this would likely be the case and so we didn't want bad objects flying out in lots.

(2) TSR needs to ensure there is enough exclusive content available for people who have already subscribed for it (and we're being slow on that, so we need to catch up urgently).

HOWEVER, it is clear that holding back ON TSRAA is causing more than a few problems (and we're REALLY sorry about that), so we're going ahead and launching TSRAA for Sims 3 objects immediately for everyone - including any Featured Artists who wish to participate. We're confident now that Workshop objects are pretty stable and starting TSRAA immediately will hopefully stop any further muddles.

Starting yesterday any lots containing TSRAA FA material is automatically set as subscriber only - so no need to ask in support about this please! This might change further down the road, as it did for Sims 2 - but we won't promise anything regarding this.

A pleading note for anyone making TSRAA objects: it will help Sims 3 players ENORMOUSLY if you can include "TSRAA" in your object descriptions in the Workshop (to be released shortly). That would be wonderful because builders will then know what is safe to use in their lots. And a BIG thank you to everyone who supports the TSRAA with content.

TSRAA now also supports clothing for Sims!

Yes you read that right, all FA's willing to participate in TSRAA and who specialize in clothing can now offer you their entire catalogue of fashion to use on your Sims creations uploaded here on TSR. The same rule is true as for objects, meaning any such Sims will be for subscribers only for the time being.

For anyone thinking "TSR-what?", here's information about the scheme: http://www.thesimsresource.com/artists/tsraa/. It needs a little update, but gives the essence of TSRAA.

Enjoy the benefits of TSRAA and being a part of TSR!
