This is an old thread...but I couldn't find a newer one on the subject. There are Simmers like myself who just play to have fun, not to compete over whose creations are better. There are some in the gallery who are freaking out about others stealing Sims. Are there prizes for best creations? I guess I could understand if people were losing out on $$$ or something tangible. But to harass other players because you think they "stole" your creation? Good grief. I favorite Sims and leave a nice comment and save some to my library to use in game play. I was under the impression that it was okay, and that this is why creations are shared to the gallery. Maybe I am wrong? I am still a little confused because when I am in CAS, I think it says that I cannot place a household until I save it to the gallery or something like that. I am still trying to figure out how the gallery works. And I am not even sure any of the "stop stealing" comments were directed at me (I don't think they were but who knows). Someone even commented, "stop stealing, use your own creations, don't use mine, you need to apologize and delete NOW or I will report to MAXIS!!!". Since I wasn't sure if they meant me...I'm an old lady and just play Sims for fun, not for followers and points...I deleted every Sim and lot from my library that I had not created from CAS scratch (except the originals by Maxis and one other brand new Sim someone else created...and I made sure to comment on it that it was not my creation, just in case). I'm done favoriting/leaving sweet comments and checking out anyone else's creations. I understand that we all want to be liked and recognized for our achievements in life. But for heaven's sake, it's just a game!! And my mother taught me that it is just wrong to steal ANYTHING. And I would NEVER knowingly plagiarize another's work, I can do fine on my own. So thank you for allowing me to vent on this old thread. And a Happy New Year Too!!
How does that even happen? I haven't experienced it since I just upload my own creations. I know you do not have to upload to the gallery to place anyone's creations. If I modify anyone's stuff I usually do not upload it, as I modified it for personal use. If I do upload I make sure it tags the creator.
Maybe some are confused between the library and gallery. Library is private and gallery is public. If you're sharing on the gallery then others can use freely. But I thought if you download someone work and reupload that it tagged the original creator?
