Re: Self-downloading your own work.
@agrimonys Oh! I understand sometimes things can get lost in translation. And I do agree that cheating does happen.
I've most definitely had people steal a fair amount of my sims then get many downloads on them. When I first started posting and wasn't getting many downloads to begin with it was very frustrating, but it's just one of those things that tragically happens on the gallery. It's not fair, especially to people who don't get lots of downloads in the first place. I wish there was something that could be done to punish or at least discourage others from stealing sims. All we can do right now is to put our usernames in the tags, at least then others can see the sim was stolen.
Probably cheating and stealing are the biggest issues on the gallery.
