We want to share what we create for others to download and enjoy - BUT - what we would LOVE is the choice of whether or not that user can then re-upload what we made as their own work .We don't want to stop re-uploading altogether. We would just like the choice! It would stop you seeing 100's of the same thing on the gallery and it would make the cool stuff easier to find! Click here to see more: #creators4fairplay

I personally would select Allow re-upload on my starters, I understand how fun it is to furnish a starter and share it. But something that i spent 90 hours on, I would not want that re-uploaded. Re-uploading a masterpiece is like painting a mustache on the Mona Lisa.

Exactly ... I have posted a couple of shells, left the interiors to whomever downloads it. But there are a few I have spent hours and hours on and don't want anyone else to take credit for my build. I mean, seriously, I had my pirate ship copied, my maze and tower copied, don't know what else, if any, and I have seen amazing designs of others I follow copied. Makes me really angry. I even posted a comment on the page of the players who did the reuploads. Didn't do any good but made me feel better.

I want creative control of my contributions the gallery. If they would just give us a switch to allow or disallow sharing, there would be peace in the valley again and we could all go back to doing what creators love most...creating. :)

I'm boosting this as it seems to have gone quiet.

I'm not sure exactly how the mechanics of policing this would work... but I guess that's the developer's job.I agree that some things should be able to be re-uploaded and not others though! Sometimes I do a half-plummed job of something, or finish 90% of it but just don't know how to get the other 10% done and would even like some help to get over the line. I wouldn't call myself a 'creator' as I'm not exactly masterful, but credit where credit's due.ESPECIALLY if you're spending that kind of time on something! Wow, 90 hours!!

We need to filter out reuploads from the Popular now tab. We could get to the good stuff easier and everyone would benefit.

I completely support this idea. Having ones hard work stolen is never a good feeling. If its something you want to see others expand on that's all well and good. But so many amazing builds and sims take so much time and effort and they just get nixed with no consequences or effort what so ever. It's incredibly discouraging. I think the idea of being able to enable or disable sharing is a very good one and I sincerely hope they will add this sort of feature soon.

I favor a permission checkbox for creators. That would be the best scenario

It will make it easier to find Originals instead going through the re uploads

They should definitely put re-uploads on a separate tab, if not willing to change the TOS. I still favor having a switch to allow or not allow. TSR and MTS have the no re-upload policy and it seems to work fabulously, not sure why EA Maxis is not listening to us or even giving us the courtesy of a response.

the gallery is so broken now, it doesn't sort the way it should, not showing anything that has been downloaded more than 99 times. I doubt it matters much anymore, and Maxis is aware of it and they don't care.
