Until sims content creators consider GNC bodies, fat bodies, and non white bodies in their cc creation, I will not be handing out praise. âđť

i donât know where this new thing came from where now, suddenly everyone is tagging food as a trigger warning, or why people without eating disorders are asking, or even who started it. iâm just here to to tell you, as a person with an eating disorder, NOT TO TAG FOOD AS A TRIGGER WARNING.
iâm sure many of you have the best intentions when you do, but iâve seen a lot of people tag their food, but not anything like weight discussions, calorie counting, or other disordered eating behaviours which actually are triggering and do need tagging. in fact, tagging food as a trigger warning is actually triggering than not tagging it. tagging food as a trigger warning can reinforce our idea that âfood is a bad thing, and therefore, must be avoided,â or âfood is a bad thing, and therefore, i should feel guilty for eating and get rid of it as soon as possible.â
eating disorders arenât pretty. they kill. something as harmless to you like tagging food can actually have very detrimental effects on us. tag your weight discussions, calorie counting, missing meals, etc. thatâs the shit youâre not tagging when you should be. eating disorders are a mental illness, and while food plays a huge part, thatâs not all theyâre about. while not everyone gets triggered by these things, a large group of people do.
food is not, and should not be, a trigger. part of recovery is improving our relationship with food, and tagging it as something bad and to be avoided can make it much harder.

If you are a creator who uses models from CGtrader, Turbosquid, or Sketchfab, you could be in legal trouble if you charge for your CCâŚ.
The amount of times I have seen people mention about how a well known paywall creator has gotten models for their CC from one of the three sites above is amazing. So, I decided that it might be a good idea to reach out and ask the support teams of those sites how people using their 3D model meshes and then reselling them as sims CC affects their TOU. So hereâs the basic question I sent all three sites in an email to their support department:Â
Hello, so I have a question.
Is it allowed for people to take the 3D meshes you guys offer, modify them to work as modified content for a game (Ex: The Sims 4), and then sell that mesh as part of a patreon? There are multiple people in the Sims 4 Custom Content community who do this. Is this sort of usage allowed? They also are using 3D models from your site that have luxury brands like Chanel and Gucci.
Thank you.
So here are the responses I received, and they are interesting:Â
Sketchfabâs response was the most direct, which I loved.Â
CGtraderâs was a little bit more complex, but Iâll touch on that in a secondâŚ
And finally, Turbosquid.Â
So letâs talk a bit about some of the things discussed in these emails and what they mean. First letâs talk about the idea of extracting/retreiving the mesh/content, which IS actually a valid concern on the part of these sites. Because hereâs the dealâŚit IS POSSIBLE in Sims 4 Studio to extract the mesh out of peopleâs custom content. I asked a good CC creating friend of mine @bill-l-s4ccâ about it, (heâs amazing, meshes his stuff by hand, and is early accessâŚ), and he confirmed this for me.Â
So letâs say you got some CC from a paywall creator, and they bought a model of a luxury bag from CGtrader. They then made it work in the Sims 4, lowered the polycount a bit, and created a few recolors/retextures of that bag. You could STILL go into sims 4 studio, and grab the mesh that they bought from CGtrader, and potentially use it for whatever they want. That is what has sites like them all up in a knot.Â
Now letâs talk about this whole âwhat is a larger derivative workâ/a derivative work in general? For this, Iâm going to use an example from the world of graphic design to help you (since I love graphic design myself).Â
So I have a membership at Creative Fabrica, which offers tons of graphic design elements, fonts, SVGs, and other elements for anyone who does graphic design of any kind. They are very clear in their licensing about the fact that you cannot RESELL the products you get as-is. You have to REMIX them or create a larger work out of them. Hereâs an image from their license that gives an example of this:Â
Notice how in the first image, all the person did was literally copy and paste one of their graphic elements on a card without adding anything else or changing anything? In the second, they used that element and other elements to create something entirely new. Itâs the same concept. If youâre taking a mesh (Ex: a perfume bottle) and literally just changing the color and selling it on patreon as a sims 4 item, that is not enough remixing to constitute a larger derivative work. If you put multiple perfume bottles together on a shelf, perhaps that might count (although itâs murky at best), but again, with S4S as mentioned earlier, the meshes can be extracted. SoâŚthat legal problem doesnât go away.Â
So what do we do about this? 1) First and foremost, mesh your own stuff. If you are so inexperienced at meshing that you HAVE to use content from these sites to offer CC to people, then you need to get to work on practicing that craft, or somehow find a site that will let you redistribute the mesh on a game like the sims 4. even when people can rip it from your content. (Which considering that many 3D modeling sites have next to identical terms, is going to be next to impossible.)Â
2) If you see a creator paywalling/charging for content that is from these sites, youâre free to send an email to Turbosquid, CG trader, etc letting them know that their content is being resold in that format. I would also include a link to that personâs patreon. Since selling 3D models is literally the livelihood of the people who run those 3D model sites, and theyâre not a massive multi-million dollar company that has the luxury of ignoring stuff like this, theyâll probably take some action.Â
3) You may ask, are FREE creators/early access creators still in violation if they use these models. âTechnicallyâ yes. But they should not be as much of a concern to Turbosquid/other sites since they are not making bank off of it, and the money gained from early access can be seen more as a donation/contribution to the creator. (Itâs still âbadâ for these sites, but not as bad as redistributing the content with the pure intent of making a profit.)Â
Again, see point #1. I would suggest that free/early access creators who are using this practice consider trying to mesh these objects themselves just to save themselves the legal/ethical trouble that comes with it.Â
âââââ
I would also like to note that I feel for some people, using meshes from these sites is literally just another form of laziness. (Mainly when they claim the mesh is 100% theirs and itâs not instead of giving attribution of any kind or admitting they converted.) They could hand mesh stuff, but why do that when they can just grab a model and modify it?
But the problem with this bad habit is that it starts to get into the problem of copyright and terms of use. The whole âI bought it, so itâs mineâ mentality doesnât work there. (Also, I find it ironic that paywall creators treat their meshes this way, yet get so mad when pirates use that excuse to share the paywalled content with others).Â
Anyway, thank you for coming to my TEDtalk, and feel free to reblog and share the word. This needs to stop in the sims 4 community before DMCAâs and cease and desist letters, and potential legal action becomes a big problem.Â
I need a dang drink to unpack all this.
I told yâall. I effing TOLD YâALL that this is whatâs gonna end up happening if yâall keep charging for CC/UGC, especially the meshes & textures yâall know good and dang well yâall downloaded off some other website.
I donât even like EA charging us for DLC, and itâs their dang game! Simmers have had donations & commissions & paywalled CC for DECADES, but theyâve always been in the minority, as people like PaysitesMustBeDestroyed have championed against that crap for DECADES. But things just get worse and worse with every Sims generation, as yâall find new insidious ways to monetize something that shouldâve never been monetized. Other game modders like Skyrimâs donât charge for CC/UGCâpeople laughed Bethesda out of the door when they tried (SEVERAL times).
But OF COURSE, EAâs rat ba$tard$ would be the ones to push the normalization of monetizing DLC, CC, microtransations, and all the other seedy money-making scams bleeding all over the fabric of gaming community. Of effing course. đ #EAYouSuck
You TS4 simmers especially grate on my nerves, and I blame YOU for the sad state of the CC community.
Paypal & Ko-fi donations werenât enough.
Adfly wasnât enough. It got so bad that Tumblr had to MASS BAN all yâall.
But Patreonâs been the utter worst. Itâs especially crazy, cuz for all the crap yâall talk about how âhardâ youâve âworkedâ to make âqualityâ CC (which is all debatable)âthe VAST MAJORITY of content creators on Patreon are really just content converters. If you use assets from other games & mesh/texture sites, and port it over to The Sims, youâre a converter, and that content should be FREE. The CC is only âyoursâ in the sense that you converted it, yes, but I have to laugh when these simmers use the wildest mental gymnastics to try validating their Patreons to people who call them out on their theft & abuse of EAâs TOUs, and the TOUs of the original sources of the assets theyâre making MONEY off ofâin a sense, stealing. đ
First of all, the CC you make was never yoursâit belongs to EA, as per their TOU, which you agreed to when you used any sims-specific tools & programs to port said CC/UGC into a sims game (TSRW, CTU, Sims4Studio, SimPE, S3PE, S4PE, etc).
Second of all, I hate that EA gave the ok for allowing the 2-3 week early access content (which most of yâall flat out ignore), but never bothered regulating the prices. The Patreon tiers Iâve seen out there vary so dang wildly. Some of yâall have no business in the world setting your monthly tiers that dang high, and you know it, and it baffles me how people donât raise more of a stink over the ripoff prices on Patreon â yet people complain the livelong day about EAâs prices at the TS3 store, as if TS4 is doing something BETTER?!?! O_O Are you effing joking? đ
EA charges 25 cents to a $1.50 for CAS DLC (kidsâ hair & clothes is the cheapest). Their build/buy DLC is 10 cents - $9 (varying from basic decor/clutter (a couple cents), to furniture & electronics/appliances (a couple bucks, depending), to Premium Content). Their PREMIUM content is $1.50 -Â $9 â you know, the fancy crap that actually ADDS NEW GAMEPLAY???? Yet Iâve seen Patreon tiers for basic RETEXTURES charge that much â GTFOH!!! If rotten EA isnât charging that much, ainât no way in HELL some random AF simmer should be charging that much, if not MORE, if ANYTHING. Cuz I repeat: most of the times that CC was only CONVERTEDâyou didnât make that mesh or paint that texture and you know it, you just imported it into a format that The Sims can read, period.
Yâall have been using & abusing Patreon for years now, and I knew people were gonna get sick of it eventually, and start asking the serious questions about the normalization of paywalled CC, and who holds the rights to monetization of gaming assets.
If the content had stayed free, or yâall had just kept to donations, this wouldnât have happened. But no. Yâall TS4 Patreon nuts had to act as if this recreational virtual Barbie Doll hobby was your effing 401k. And now youâre catching the WRONG sort of attention, and ALL of us in the simming community might end up suffering for it. đĄ
