AI generated CC previews, early access CC for Paralives (an indie game IN early access), and low/questionable quality CC for sale in the Sims marketplace.

What the fuck happened where folks think any of this is okay or normal?

I was flattered by that, not gonna lie, but knowing that my cc would be behind a permanent paywall never sat right with me and forcing people to pay that, especially the people who already support me financially seemed like such a nasty thing

I never even wanted to do early access but my shitty financial situation made me, I know some people hate me because of that but I try to return the favor by making bigger sets + regular gifts + supporting others + unlocking after 2 weeks (I know some will hate me despite all of that)

I am first and foremost disappointed as a cc customer (not just as a creator) and this situation makes me not want to support the creators that I was already supporting and I surely will not

The realization that I don't want to participate in the marketplace hit me when I thought to myself 'I personally would never pay for this wtf' + with everything else happening with EA it was not a hard decision

The support I have gotten from this community has been insane and I don't want to ruin that and take it for granted, at the end of the day, exposure is the least of my concerns, I started all of this out of pure love for the game and creating, unfortunately the money had to get involved 'cause we all got rent and bills to pay, I wish money never had to get involved in any of this at all

Of Mondstadt's 22 playable characters, (including Varka and Alice, excluding Venti), 7 know who he is (Jean, Diluc, Dahlia, Albedo, Varka, Alice, and Durin). 8 if you include Kaeya who based on his actions probably knows.

And the playable characters are a minority of the nation's population! You can raise the number to 9 to include Stanley, even though it's unclear if he remembers it was Venti.

9 people total! Out of an entire nation! Know that the Drunkard Bard is really their Deity.
