dee-lightful

I wanted to discuss this because I am sick of avoiding the matter when it’s being brought to the table by mostly mm creators (sorry but it’s true).

First of all, for those who didn’t hear about this “rule” made by SimGuruDrake, here is the orignal statement from 2017:

This rule didn’t specify the creators that were concerned which I always thought was very very unfair because many creators, especially the alpha creators, always made their meshes from scratch and never even used ea’s meshes or ea’s textures once in their creations, which is my case and MANY other alpha creators’ case. That’s why I decided that this rule wasn’t fair for me and I decided to not follow it, but sometimes I felt bad because a lot of alpha creators that create their own meshes are following this rule.

Now a couple of days ago I went over this tweet right here: https://twitter.com/felixandresims/status/1293787383012491264/photo/1

This tweet shows a discussion between felixandresims on twitter and simgurudrake on twitter. Simgurudrake is the one that made the rule in 2017 about the cc locked behind patreon. This discussion CLEARLY states that if the cc isn’t made out of ea meshes or textures, then the rule doesn’t apply and it’s 100% owned by the creator himself. Seeing this makes me really happy that finally EA acknowledges that this rule shouldn’t be applied to every creator because this isn’t fair and this isn’t even legal in my opinion (because the package format isn’t owned by ea, it can be used to put together meshes and textures for other purposes than the sims).

Now reading this I am truly hoping alpha creators and all of the creators who aren’t using ea meshes or textures will do whatever they want with their cc because it’s in their own right to not follow any rules since they own their cc.

Last thing I want to talk about is some mm creators that were beyond disrespectful to alpha creators because we, as the alpha “community”, didn’t always follow the rule. I am honestly disgusted by some of them with how disrepectful they could get with us even though we did nothing to them.. Also I was sick of their rants about the ea rule that THEY should respect and they are the only ones who are concerned about this rule..

OK, so, a couple of things. Actually more than a couple. First of all, the .package format is developed and owned by EA. No other game developer uses this format. Yes, EA uses the .package format for their non-Sims games; nevertheless, the format is proprietary — meaning, they own it.

Secondly, there is one incontrovertible fact that supersedes whether creators make the meshes from scratch (which, let’s face it, a lot of creators DO NOT) or import content from other media like Second Life, IMVU, and 3D model databases like @cgtrader and @turbosquidinc —including this creator, who, from what I heard and read, actually had to remove a lot of his content because he violated those creators’ DCMA terms (which is actually what many creators do). In order for those meshes to be used in the game, they have to be attached to the resource(s) that make 3D meshes useable in the game. Once that happens, the content effectively becomes bound by EA rules. Period.

Let me make myself perfectly clear. I AM IN NO WAY ANGLING TO GET “FREE” CONTENT, as some folks would assume about people who think the way I do. In fact, I subscribe to and donate to MANY Patreons (not the ranter’s because I’ve been catfished by their content before). So I really don’t have a dog in this fight because I will readily pay for immaculate content. And I also have no issue with creators giving exclusive gifts as an extra “Thank you” for subbing. It’s no different from getting the football phone from Sports Illustrated  as a “Thank you” for being a loyal subscriber. 

But I do have an issue with some creators who do not follow the rules and hoard content for months or years on end. I could name a few, but I won’t be petty. However…

We aren’t eeeeeeeeeeeven gonna get into creators who appropriate copyrighted brands, labels, icons, insignias and likenesses and charge money for CC containing them — like, for example, this creator does with Louis Vuitton, Chanel, and @gucci. Copyright infringement violations all over the place. 

And I KNOW they didn’t obtain permission to use them, either, but have the nerve to have a TOU for appropriated content.

Hell, the only creator (of whom I’m aware) who made Gucci CC legitimately was @grimcookies, as he actually partnered with them. 

Incidentally, he also follows the rules for public releases. To him I say…

All that to say, it’s really not that hard to follow the rules. New Simmers emerge every day, and they come across new and exciting custom content just as often. I know I’m always on the hunt for beautiful content (particularly alpha content; not really a MM fan, though I do have some beautiful MM CC from really wonderful creators). Patrons will come, and creators will undoubtedly be paid for their hobby (because that’s what it is — a hobby; you don’t actually work for/collect a salary from EA). Just as creators want folks to abide their terms and not share the content off of which they expected to earn a buck or two or twenty-five, some Simmers and CC enthusiasts would like to have an opportunity to enjoy their work just as much as those who paid for it, and the rule is designed for that purpose. Hell, even Turbodriver and Basemental have public and Patreon versions of their mods for all Simmers to enjoy.

If all else fails, just keep the shit to yourself if you want to act so precious about it.

Why are the minors downloading the game tho? Why did the minors look up the name, got into the official website, saw it was a nsfw game and still clicked on download? Oh yeah because the game isn't on any app store, why did they knowingly look for it mh? Mh?

Why does everybody on the planet have to babysit these fucking kids? If they are unsupervised by their own parents and have no self regulations as well, I'm sorry but it's none of my, or any creator's business. Stop acting as if anyone HAD to care for these kids, fuck em kids, I'm already the oldest of three, I don't need a hundred more thank you very much. If anything, everyone virtually babysitting them is doing them a great disservice, leading them to believe every adult has any sort of obligation towards them. Because spoiler: in the outside world, no we don't! We can and will but because we want to! Y'all raising some terrible entitled kids AND THEY'RE NOT EVEN YOURS!

Yo, minors: adults don't owe you shit, and you won't be minors forever, start to learn how to navigate life and internet spaces on your own to be safe and have a good time, because that's what we all did, it's called personal growth. If you want to play/watch nsfw content that you technically shouldn't be near of, you can, most of us did before coming of age, but if it scars or makes you feel uncomfortable it's on YOU, because YOU decided to engage with it so you also have to deal with not having anyone to blame but yourself.

[I finally finished it and I think the updates to his file are even better than before! I hope you like it, I didn’t make the PDF have the fancy texture because that just takes so long and I need to draw Roman because his file is done as well. Anyways Logan is stressed. XD Warning- mentions of child abuse but there are no details about it, only that it happened.]

This did not turn out the way I wanted it to (and one day I will have a good enough computer to launch a program that actually has a blur, it would have been nice here). There. Said. But I did finish it, so kudos to me anyway !

WHICH MEANS I still get to use this as a DTIYS !

- Well… seems like things worked out after all. Guess I was wrong about everything.

HA.
