please give shopworkers some compensation for their work. cant even describe the hurt i felt in my chest when i put time and effort into designing a wig only to have to spend 450 B$ to purchase my own work LOL.
and i just did shop work as a kind of one off thing i cant imagine what it's like to constantly be putting stuff out, listening to user requests, recolouring and more just to get no legit compensation. it would also encourage more people to contribute to improving the shop and adding cool stuff. like im pretty sure TB wont lose anything from offering people VIRTUAL money for their contributions

Then, when you have submitted what you feel is a good amount of work, you contact Kimsim with the list of stuff you've made and politely ask for compensation. A shopworker could tell you better what is appropriate to ask for. For reference, when I made a collection for himbos which consisted of three full outfits I was rewarded a senatorship for that. At the time LillyAnn was kind enough to get Kimsim to reward me for that.please give shopworkers some compensation for their work. cant even describe the hurt i felt in my chest when i put time and effort into designing a wig only to have to spend 450 B$ to purchase my own work LOL.

i honestly don't know why this was downvoted twice.. what the fuck is controversial about asking people to get...virtual points for free work that adds to everyone's playing experience?
honestly just finding out that you don't get anything is making me look at some of the WIPs i made and really reconsider if i want to actually send them off to the shop.

However lately the shop has gone through changes and I am not sure if Kimsim is still willing to reward designers like this. Better go ask about this directly from a shopworker like LillyAnn or Cum Dumpster.
However having an official or even an unofficial standardized system would be better, something that puts some guidelines for wha is worth what.
i honestly don't know why this was downvoted twice.. what the fuck is controversial about asking people to get...virtual points for free work that adds to everyone's playing experience?i think shop work is fun because it's a great way to improve in-game experience for u and other players.
