Does "Original Creator" appear anymore?

I was under the impression that the origin creator only appears on lots, not on households.

I don't make lots, so I'm not sure. But when I reupload my own stuff to origin, it tags me as the original.
It's from 2018, so maybe they just don't do it anymore...

I'm not sure if it's changed since the recent update (ie yesterday) but I know a few days ago when I had downloaded a base sim and saved her to my library (didn't upload her or anything) it still listed the orginal creator, and then me above them.

I can try and check things out if you'd like. But my guess would be maybe they downloaded your household, and then reuploaded it as a brand new household to get rid of the "orginal by?"

But I'm not sure, that's just a theory.

It shows the original creator when you add a sim to CAS with "replace" button. As soon as you pick "merge", original creator disappears.
And yeah it's a bit disappointing, I sometimes see people reuploading my sims too.
With lots it's harder to get rid of an "original by" tag, I think.

And no, I don't think its petty of you at all to be honest.

Regardless if the downloads affect you or not, someone is still taking credit for your work that you put time and effort in. So you have every right to be upset. I flag every obivously plagerized household I see on the gallery.

Good to know that there is a difference between replace and merge when it comes to the creator. I usually merge households but will start using replace if I intend to upload them to the gallery.

Dang! That's probably why I don't see it anymore. People are merging and getting rid of my tag. Luckily, they don't seem to bother with removing my hashtags where I put my name. lol

I have seen the original creator on some of the households, and I have seen some of the households reuploaded with a different creator at times too.
I have merged families with Sims I wanted to create, but I usually let people know that most of the merged Sims came from the Gallery.
Also, I should really keep track of the Sims I download, so I can properly list the original creator instead of saying downloaded from the Gallery.
I have also done searches where the original creator posted a family with CC, and another person reposting the same family without the CC. The difference is the CC was to make elves, and without CC it is just a family in their underwear.

I do mostly use CC, so I thought maybe that was the reason. But, my old content without CC is re-uploaded from other people and I'm not listed either. So who knows. e_e

I wonder if CC is a factor, I had one family that I put CC hair on, and I can see the CC families on my PC, but CC stuff doesn't show up on the PS4. (I have both, but I have the base game on the PC, and almost the whole game on the PS4.) I think CC does get pushed down, or it could be what people are looking for. I had a family that only had one person with CC hair, and it was or a book series, I have not been able to really find them after posting them. There are so many people posting that I feel that the older stuff gets pushed down.
Also, I've seen a ton of reuploads of the same thing that I see the original getting pushed down.
it may also be the name you gave the family, or tags you use. I have multiple Frozen based Sims, but only one is listed as Frozen, and the rest are under the kingdoms name, only the Frozen one still shows up. My other families are still listed, though.
So, I don't know what is going on in the Gallery, and why some things are easier to find, while others aren't easy to find.
