@Honeytreats. Thanks for your answer. I agree with you. It is quite possible that I may have misunderstood you, because I live in Germany and the translation with google and co is often not good. I'm Sorry about this.
I also agree with you, based on your personal experience, if you already have as many followers as you do, that then it is no longer understandable. Not even if you have only 10 of the original 500 Contents , because you maybe have removed sometimes all others from your catalog. The number of downloads remains the same. This is absolutely correct. But, I also think somehow we both talk past each other - is that possible? 😉:🙂 Let us take another example: Suppose someone downloaded a sim from your catalog and uploaded it under their own name. According to the terms of use it's perfectly ok. Let's further assume that this sim has received for you 50 downloads from your 2000+ followers. Now you go to the account of the person who uploaded your sim again. You see that this user has - let's say 50 followers and maybe only 10 other creations in the catalog besides your sim. Then you discover that the "re-upload" of your Sims has 2000 downloads at that other person. And within 24 hours!. What would you think then? Because fact is, that there are demonstrable users who deliberately increase their own download numbers. About the "who" and "why" we do not want to discuss here. It's about the principle, that it to have this possibility of self-downloads, and that EA maybe thinks about it and is considering the possibility to fix it. Not more and not less. Thanks a lot.🙂
@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.
