Regarding Simpliciaty Stealing work from Stealthic
Hi everyone. It’s been a while since I’ve made a post on here, but this is due to the fact that I’ve now moved on to work at Second Life. I’m surprised to see that I still have 10′s of thousands of followers! I love you all so much. I upload my hairstyles there now exclusively to Second Life as a full-time job, and many of you have already seen my work and support me there, which I appreciate beyond belief!
Sadly, it’s come to my attention several times that Simpliciaty is now stealing my work and sending them to his patreon members as “gifts”, although in order to receive these “gifts”, you need to become a member in the first place, costing 5 dollars a month.
Many of you may not know how Second Life works, but it’s not at all like the open-source modding community we have at the Sims. Second Life is a free to play game, and in order to keep it running, it needs content creators who in turn create content for the game and sell this content for real money (this is the only way most free-to-play games can sustain themselves). My hairstyles are sold through Second Life to many of the players/customers on this game. Assets in this game are not to be tampered with or redistributed.
Simpliciaty is using an illegal program (or having someone else use this program) to export my content from this game, not give me credit, and then send private links to his patreon/discord users, seeming like he created the content and in turn even making money off this work. (This is called copybotting, google it!) VERY little work is put into this, despite what he is telling everyone. My TOU for Sims does NOT apply to Second Life, obviously, since this is an entirely different gaming platform and my Sims content isn’t officially inside of the Sims, like it is over at Second Life.
Examples are shown below:

All the above works are stolen by Simpliciaty, but created by me. (The 1st and 3rd row are his photos on his patreon)
I messaged him, and he says that if he calls it a “gift” that it’s fine, when he’s still tampering with my work and profiting off of it along with not crediting me. He went so far as to make a long post claiming how much work HE put into that bangs pack, which took me days:
He proceeded to tell me he would never “disrespect” me or my work, but this is blatant disrespect and he continues to do so to.
If you want to help and you are a patreon or in his discord, do so by private messaging me on here, my messages are open. You can also do so anonymously, my asks are open. I already have someone doing so, but more always help, and I can DMCA his works. I will keep our conversation private.
Thanks for reading this over, and just know that these works aren’t him. I try my best to not speak up on these, but this needed to be public and I am taking action.
Why does this not suprise me at all… once a thief, always a thief. How long has it been since the whole eliavah thing? Also former sims 4 creator who turned to SL and got screwed by him. Maybe message her? Have you made a report at Patreon as well? They should’ve suspended his account months ago imo. Since I lost count of how many times this happened.
Everyone who ‘supports’ him please re-consider your support to this con-artist and ultimately one of the biggest reasons why some ts4 creators stop creating. Alpha or Maxis Match. Because of people like him. They don’t deserve a dime.
he tried to do the same with me, thats why i stopped posting my creations, because he showed them as his, and i mean , he has many followers, im like unknow creator so he would of course take the credit. :S
