#permapaywallers

Namely Bergdorf, CWB, Leosims, Bustra, and Anto.

Y'all doin all this "dm the link" and sharing personal emails in a discord server(which is illegal, but this is the internet) to prevent somebody from sharing your stuff. Well, I'm gonna tell ya like I told the other creators who are trying to follow in your footsteps: It aint doin what you think it's doin. You're just physically wasting your own time at this point.

Y'all stay pressed about chat group, meanwhile your stuff is for sale on some Chinese website for $0.69 🤣 #ooooof

They got some recent things too! So.... my question is, what's the point in doin all this extra work, when ultimately its not effective?

You still out and we still out here. So wassup?

Not to mention everything they have there, we can find for free on several other different websites 😂😂

🎶I tried so hard, and got so far....but in the end it doesn't even matter🎶

Good luck trying to DCMA that! (I'd love to see you try tbh)

And remember: the content is already out here in circulation. So even if you do manage to get the pages taken down, we still got your stuff at the end of the day 🤷🏾‍♀️.

You may now direct creators who don’t follow those guidelines to this statement:

Thank you to everyone who did their part by sending a ticket or reaching out to a guru, this is a big deal. Glad EA is finally doing something about a huge portion of the CC creator communities exploitative practices.

I'm so proud of those who are finally been speaking up about people misusing their patreons. It's nothing wrong with supporting your favorite creator. There's nothing wrong with seeking compensation for "work" that you do.

BUT YOU CANT STEAL SOMETHING FROM SOMEONE WHO STOLE IT IN THE FIRST PLACE!

Every designer bag they converted? ILLEGAL! Every show that people converted for your sims and you to watch in your game? ILLEGAL! Every dance move that you saw on social media or on a music video? Hmmm...guess what it is if that person pushed hard enough? ILLEGAL!

I'm gonna be the rude voice in all this since everyone else seems to be really nice about it. But I'm not gonna be nice because WE ARE GROWN! This is a children's game and now yall doxxing people because yall DONT WANT PEOPLE TO FIGURE OUT THAT YALL STEAL PEOPLE SHIT! That's childish asf and I hope they report every single one of yall patreons. PLEASE know that I don't sub to any patreons BUT I gets my shit for free and will gladly share it. So it'll be quite difficult for you to block me for getting your content. But if you actually enjoyed the community you were making content for, you wouldn't be concerned with scraping crumbs from MY POCKET!

And don't come to me with that "tHeRe'S fReE cC" BS! First and foremost, without EA or The Sims, your package files would be NOTHING! You need The Sims to use ANY of your shit. But second and on a more petty note, I want YOURS and I shouldn't have to worry about if my personal info is gonna be doxxed just because I wanted to pledge to your page to get a bedroom set. Like wtf sense does that make? You walk in a store and buy a dining room set from IKEA, signing up for their little newsletters in the process. Further on, youve decided that you're gonna give the set to your buddy who just moved to a new place. You wanted some new furniture anyway. Well now, your ass is BANNED from IKEA & Rent A Center (because they sharing info, remember?) just because you gave your friend something YOU PAID FOR? Not only that, but the people who work for IKEA are now calling your boss and harassing you because you gave your friend second hand shit.

Bonkers! Absolutely nuts!

If you making this much of a fuss over some damn pixels, I've got one thing to say..

Hi Everyone

All of our patrons will receive a free model conversion for The Sims 4 in the which they may use as usual in the game. Means, nothing will change for you.

Everyone is confused about some EA statement yesterday about mods and cc cant be monetized. Some creators choose to leave, some choose to ignore as it is a 25 years old policy and it didnt change yesterday. As some creators we took some legal advice. Seems a bit tricky ,but it is legal. 

Based on a statement EA made on July 21, 2022, on mods and custom content. I've made the decision, along with other creators, that we will no longer maintain any connection to EA or the Sims franchise. This is our decision after seeking formal legal advice. From this point on, we will only publish and market our 3D models in their original form as sale . All of our patrons will receive a free model conversion for The Sims 4 in the which they may use as usual in the game. Means, nothing will change for you.

All ownership of our 3D models and textures is reserved by us. Additionally, we are permitted by law to transform our 3D models into any other form. We will continue to offer our regular Patreon content that was published before to the statement on July 21, 2022. Last but not least, we want to thank you for all the wonderful support you have given us over the years. Custom content creation takes a lot of time. We do appreciate your understanding and support.

We’d like to remind Leo that leaving their content locked prior to the statement is still in violation of TOS. This was always their policy as we’ve been shouting from the rooftops since this blog was created.

A.) Follow the fucking rule, release your content (or not) and accept donations as optional. As it's always been.

B.) Don't follow the rule and get your shit taken down so that WE don't have to worry about it and YOU don't have to worry about it.

All these sob stories and boo hoos coming from nowhere. Now EVERYBODY is so for eacc. The same ones who considered this 'drama' and didn't speak up for YEARS.

Ah well. That's too bad. Thanks for coming out tho ❤️
