I’m just gonna be honest for a minute cause I’ve been in this community for the past decade and I’ve been seeing an uptick of people who have only been here for maybe the past year breaking my tou and probably others as well.
I will block you if you upload your sims in .package format
This isn’t a threat or anything just a fact. I’m not delusional enough to think that I could possibly control what people do with my content after it’s uploaded publicly. But I will absolutely make the choice to remove you from easily accessing my blog.
It goes against my TOU which has been the same for the past at least six years. There’s nothing new in there. Just asking for basic respect and it’s being ignored and trampled. It’s disrespectful to reupload anyone’s content no matter what form it may be in. If you can’t take a couple minutes to type up a cc list then don’t share your sims. And no saying “thank you to all the cc creators!!” Isn’t good either.
On top of that I’m going to link to THIS post of mine. Aside from the obvious disrespect of breaking mine and other creators TOUs it’s literally AWFUL for your game to have so many .package sims in your mods folders. It’s unethical to release a package that big and have new modders throw it in their game not knowing it could break it.
I try to be a nice person and helpful where I can be but the blatant disrespect, and yes it is disrespect, of mine and others tous are what pushes many of us to stop sharing our works publicly. And I won’t even go into how little thanks genetic cc creators get vs clothing converters just to get our tous broken and disregarded.
I completely agree with this. I know there are plenty of people who respect creators' TOUs, but I've come across quite a few who don't. What bothers me the most is that some people seem to have no problem giving credit to certain creators while conveniently leaving others out.
The favoritism is pretty obvious.
It's not only disrespectful to the creators whose work is being shared without proper credit, but it's also unfair to the people downloading that content. We should know exactly what we're putting into our games and who made it. Proper credit isn't just about being polite, it's about transparency and giving creators the recognition they deserve.
I could name names, but honestly, I don't think it would make much of a difference. Even if I did, I doubt anything would change. At the end of the day, if we want creators to keep sharing their work publicly, the least we can do is respect their rules and the time and effort they put into making that content
