Your files work in Mac? Do you accept requests?
As we don't have Mac, we don't know the how our objects perform in it. However, they should work fine. All SIMcredible! downloads are guaranteed fully tested in PCs . About requests, sorry...we don't take them . But you're free to express your opinions @ our guestbook or forum.
Can I upload/redistribute your downloads?
Sincerely? No. There're a lot of efforts and hard work behind our pieces and we ask you to please play fair :) Don't upload/redistribute our content at any web site, FTP, forum, the sims exchange, e-group ... etc... No One will kill you, nor curse you to the lifetime (* sure! * ) ...but let's us seriously think about a simple thing... what is the big deal slaughtering other's people work ? ò.Ó
