Kafka - I can understand your frustration, as I have made a few small mods myself. One thing to keep in mind is that not everyone who uses or likes your mod may even post a reply to this thread; typically if someone has a problem or maybe disagrees with something, they'll post. It's the nature of the beast I guess

.
I personally look at this forum as a giant, kick-ass supermarket for subsims. So many products, so many choices! One can customize their sim just the way they like it, which makes everyone's game unique. The only thing that is constant here, is that with every mod, there'll be people who like it and who don't like it, all depending on their own personal preferences.
I'm sure you're aware of all this, but I guess it helps to hear it from an outside voice. I hope you don't get disheartened, especially as this is in my opinion excellent work. Moon size is an easy fix, but where this mod is unique is its high definition photo quality and novel method of applying an alpha layer (different than the stock version at least). And I wasn't kidding when i said i went through a lot of moons!
The beauty of this place is, that when you upload something - it stays for a heck of a long time. Maybe not many people like it here and now, but I guarantee you that people are going to be finding this mod and installing it from time to time in the coming months. And for those who like it, it's definitely worth the effort.
PS: talk to the admin about uploading it into the downloads section. This way, you'll also be able to see how many people download it, and it'll be a permanent addition to the subsim mod archive!
Keep on moddin'!
