Design Thieves - RANT
Okay, so I'm new to the forums and new to SIMS 4 (though not the Sims) and I love the feature where we can share our designs with the community.
What I don't love are the design thieves.
I'm sure I'm not the only one, and there are designers who are way better than I am, who put a lot of time and effort into their lot designs.
I too put a lot of thought, effort and time into my designs. I try to do different and interesting and quirky things.
But when someone copies your design exactly, without giving you credit and calling it by another name (the design is exactly the same) and taking credit for it, that's theft and that person is wrong.
I just discovered one of my designs had been "rebuilt" by someone else. They called it something else and then uploaded it as if it was a new design and they created it. THEY DID NOT!
The building design is exactly the same as one of mine. They changed the landscaping of the lot. But the building was my design. It's an exact copy!
And there is a second design copied too, but I can't say I was the first to design something like it so I won't speak on that one.
So, if you, the thief, read this...I will be checking to see if you copy me again and I will make sure that everyone knows you are a design thief.
Make your own designs, use your own creativity and DON'T STEAL!
Sorry, rant over!
