building / gallery - deleted old account, have question about new

So! I am LaunchSneezes, formerly Fujicakes, perhaps Fujicakes1 (that was awhile ago, on the old forums). But I deleted that account recently because I haven't played Sims 4 in awhile as I was overwhelmed by all the dlc I had...I know it sounds strange, but I wanted a refresh, I wanted just a base game. When I cut my hair and saw it so much shorter and felt such a wave of happiness, I knew it would be the same way - and I was right! But now the thing is, I saved some of my old houses to my new personal gallery before it was deleted, and I gutted (including all the inside walls and everything) some of them, I am remaking them completely, sometimes the outside included. But - it still links to my old account. I am scared that I'll get banned if I have them on my gallery, so the question is, can I do this, or do I need to just make completely new houses? I never liked making the outside part of houses, I liked to at least have a starting point to work from, so I was kind of glad to think of being able to get a second use out of ones I already made. I already posted one to my gallery and it got almost 30 downloads before I noticed that it linked to my old account and I was like, oh man. As I said, I don't want to get banned, and I don't think they would believe me if I said "that's ME!"

Postscript: I don't recommend deleting an account that has a bunch of dlc that you spent a lot of money on - I'm a person who tends to jump into the deep end to learn how to swim (figuratively, not literally - I wouldn't literally put my life in danger that way), and I have deleted and started more Animal Crossing islands and restarted more Animal Crossing towns that I can even remember or count. I cried from happiness when I saw white hair on my head recently. So what is right for me, is not necessarily right for everyone!

  • Hey CupcakesAC​,

    As long as the content itself doesn't violate any of our guidelines (which doesn't sound like the case), simply using some of your old houses isn't a problem whatsoever - even if they're from another account you've since deleted.

    Best of luck with the fresh new builds!
