Does "Original Creator" appear anymore?
This might be petty of me, since downloads don't benefit me at all IRL, but: Does the gallery show who the original creators are anymore? I see a bunch of my creations being uploaded, most with me ta...

I don't think it's petty of you at all to want to be shown as the original creator for either a lot or a sim however I don't understand the gallery very well as S4 is not my preferred game but I do play on occasion where I obviously download creator works from the gallery to play in my game and where it is shown as some other creator name other than the original creator I go find the original creator and download their work instead as I don't intentionally want to download any content that another player may have uploaded as their own when it's not but I confess to not understanding the gallery process very well.
For example I will download an original creator lot and then change it to suit my game needs and save it to my own library so I can save the tray files using sims 4 tray importer as a backup if I need to start a new game but I also record the original creator name in the save at the time should I need to go searching for the lot again in the gallery if something goes wrong with the tray files however I thought when I do this the changes just go into my own library and not the public gallery? someone please correct me if I am wrong.
With sims I often download single sims that i like the look of and save every one of them singly with the creator name for the same reasons described above with lots and then when I have merged a household of sims from single sims (roomies for example) I save them in cas as a group of sims to save the tray files of the sims as a group but I still keep the original creator names of each sim creator. From what I am reading on this thread is that when players save the way I do with a group of sims the original sim creator details can be lost which can be deliberate or just someone like me who is simply saving a backup of sims?
I would genuinely like to know how this works because I would hate to think it looked like I was stealing someone's work/creativity when I am most definitely not...
