Pirated Store Content doesn't attach itself to your uploads that's a myth.
And even if you download a world with said content without having the content installed (whether legit or pirated) the game won't load it up and removes the content.
Exactly.
Asinine rumors and gossip like those mentioned in this thread are why talented creators stop creating for this ungrateful community.
Because some computer illiterate person who doesn't know the difference between their OS & a virus, and barely even knows how to turn their computer on, suddenly realises they possibly have malware on their PC, probably from as said above, an Ad from somewhere like Mediafire or TSR, and then begins screaming that a world caused it.
These last two days my Tumblr dash has been full of people that have downloaded and are quite happily playing this world without a single problem. There is no malware in this world whatsoever.
From the appalling post by the instigator that has been making the rounds on Tumblr after making a blatantly false and unproven claim of malware, credit card info theft and whatever other rubbish they can dream up, it seems that said instigator is trying to run this world and sims game on a laptop that should probably have been retired in 1980.
According to this person, this world is blank, the houses are rabbitholes ( SERIOUSLY ? they are
shells, designed to hide empty lots until you feel like building your own ) the world lags, and then finishes it off by saying the world doesn't even load. Quite frankly, if the world doesn't even load, how would they know that its supposedly blank, filled with rabbithole houses and lags?
This is not to mention that they seem to have confused the owner of said Fakebook group with the actual world creator who knew nothing of all of this nonsense until it was drawn to their attention.
I don't know why a portion of this community is so willing to believe anything that they just read and then go spreading falsities and other garbage all over the place.
This world isn't broken, or full of malware. If it was, it would have affected EVERY single person who downloaded it, not apparently just a special select few. It is a stunningly beautiful result of about two years work and the creator is deserving of thanks and appreciation, not appalling rumors and nonsense like this.
Disgusting.
