Welp i started here as "Wolo" in 2011 (some ofyou already know the story)
I worked on a desktop computer my family owned, it ran on Windows XP, i remember very well how i started making skins and tracks, the first thing i attempted to make were trucks, obiously kid didn't knew how to make stuff, i started swaping tires like Johan. Since that i discovered i could change the paints and that kind of stuff, so i started making useless post here, then i got banned
I started making stuff away from Sim Monsters knowing i wasn't getting un-banned, so that's how the "Wolo Pack" came along, i started "Photocroping" some stuff and also trying to make my own trucks. When i started i remember using an online pooty version of Photoshop and then switching to a very outdated version that the computer had installed.
Since i was desperate i made a new account the one i called "Korno" it lasted like a week and then i got banned again.
After that i was tired and decited to wait some time.
In the period of time i was banned as Korno and to the one i made the Coconutmen account, i started experimenting, with OgreXML Conventer & ROR even Photoshop.
And then that's when i created this account, started making tracks and also moved to my mothers laptop since i didn't knew why blender could'nt run on the desktop computer and it ran her computer, that's when this was posted:
Yes, this is my first track EVER on Blender.
More of my first tracks:

Then i somehow learned to put them ingame and then got a new computer.
So, if i have to say anything to the ones that are starting to make content, don't be afraid to experiment and mess around, use the resources you have to get the best you can, even if you have pooty computer or don't know how to make stuff as others, try it your way, try someones else way, or a tutorial way, and then mix those and make your own way.
Also never be afraid to talking to people who make content and ask questions to them on AIM, Skype or even TeamSpeak, some migth be *ssh*les but some are some good kind people and will 100% help you. I say this because without talking to people such as Klayton, Mark Colineri, Johan, Tharindu, and others i wouldn't be able to make stuff i make today.
Also after sometime we have our own tutorial section here on Sim Monsters! You can go check that out, some are written or other are narrated with video, both are usefull.
I would love to make tutorials but since my main language is spanish and not english, my english isn't 100% good as some would like (Also i don't have a very good Microphone / Headseat / Recording tools).
And a little advice, DON'T spam the "Help and Support" section with your doubts, first search for help or a tutorial and then if you aren't able to solve your doubt, problem etcetera, go ahead and post.
Note: the programs i use are Photoshop CS5 and Paint.net
