and sometimes they come back when you least expect it, years later, even, and there's this sudden rush of relief like there you are, there you are, even though you barely knew each other.

there's a strange kind of love to it. i don't know you and i want to hold your hand across miles and time zones and oceans. i can still see the imprint of you in this community you left. you don't think anyone will notice or care when you're gone, but we notice and we care and we wish you well.

You have been warned so, from this moment on, don't come at me telling it was my fault you got malware. I'll tell you when it's fixed.

Don’t support Simsulani.

It has been 1 week. @hellosimsulani still hasn’t taken accountability and continues to profit from thievery. One tenth (40/397) of her pose packs are stolen. 25 creators are taken advantage of and over 210 of their rigs were robbed. And more theft is still being discovered. Change is needed.

This has been ongoing for at least three years. This was no mistake, this was a deliberate process where she knew that what she was doing was wrong.

There is hard evidence of her theft, but Simsulani continues to deny all accusations and is doing damage control to continue to profit and make money from (deceived) patrons. An example, Simsulani has quietly been deleting a few stolen packs, but never acknowledged (also to those creators that approached her for those packs) that any theft had taken place and even ignored those creators. She is sweeping her deeds under the rug by keeping silent and ignoring the issue.

That’s why I am taking a public approach again with a harsher tone. I tried to contact her, but she has been responding to others and is ignoring me.

To all pose users, please don't support Simsulani’s behavior. There are many amazing pose creator’s she stole the poses from, please go to the original creators instead and not to Simsulani. Money will aid in enabling her so please cancel your subs.

And Simsulani, cancel all the Patreon tiers until you make your own poses for a while and make your own poses from scratch. Never steal anyone’s poses ever again. Make a public statement of your theft and delete all stolen packs, you know better than us which ones these are, don’t make us search for them all. Take accountability.

Simsulani’s public apology telling us we’re misunderstanding her proven theft on 7 october:

My response to that on 7 october (send reminders) and last monday:

An apology is just empty words to appease temporarily if there is no change. This was no apology but damage control. 

I urge you to stand for and behind our pose makers and content creators when it comes to thievery, we shouldn’t take it lightly that original content that people worked hard on is being stolen to make money. Please stop paying and supporting those thieves.

We might not be able to stop all thieves or stop them from appearing this way, but it would become so much more unattractive for them to try. We shouldn’t lose more original creators because of theft.

I've seen a lot of posts going around calling on Simmers to stop using Curseforge, a modding platform that enables creators to monetize their downloads, with plenty of outrage directed toward modders and CC-makers who are still on the platform. But I've also seen a lot of people who are confused about why there are calls for a boycott.

Curseforge is owned by Overwolf, a company that is donating money to the IDF in support of its ongoing genocide against the Palestinian people.

In late October/early November, Overwolf posted a graphic on their social media asking followers to "defend our defenders" by contributing financially to a fundraising drive for the IDF. They were met with backlash and quickly took the graphic down, replacing it with one that used language about raising money for "those effected by the violence in Gaza" (my phrasing may be inexact) but the money is still going to the IDF and not to any agency actually supporting civilians or doing humanitarian work.

You can see the original graphic on this change.org petition, which provides some additional context.

If you are using Curseforge in any way -- by hosting your content there or downloading from it -- you are giving money to a company that is raising funds for an ongoing military campaign against a civilian population.

Hello!

You can call me Kiwi, I'm a simmer who has been playing since Ts1. I don't particularly enjoy building, so I rely on others, but I've noticed lately it's hard to get good vanilla builds. This is especially true after the latest updates to the gallery. I'm hoping this blog will provide a resource for others to find public CC-free builds, and serve also as a compliment to other blogs that focus also on builds or strictly cc free things!
