Sick of this Stealing nonsense?

Everytime I go online to my gallery I see stop stealing nonsense which irritates me to know end. When I create a sim I basically hit the random button (dice) until a good sim is created then I fix the makeup, clothes, skintone and what have you. Sims 4 random button creates some good looking people that look a lot like other peoples sims if fact I have duplicated some of my own sims? I do not steal and in fact I have not uploaded my sims to the gallery for fear of being jumped on. When I do upload I don't care what you do with my sim as it is just nice to know that someone liked it enough to download it. These people even accused EA of stealing their stuff I mean WTF is with that. EA owns the rights to the game so every sim I create and upload is part of their gallery so it is everyone's. This BS just makes me and I am sure a lot of people uncomfortable and afraid to post. If you want to claim copyright then you need about $1000.00 and a lawyer not just saying this is mine? Sims 1, 2, 3 the creators had a terms of use policy which 98% followed out of respect. Sims 4 can create Beautiful Sims in the CAS by itself so I cannot post it because it looks like someone creation. Please when creating make sure yours is unique and create a TOU for your creations or show your legal copyright. I have not stolen anything or been accused this just bugs me.....

    Hey guys, to be fair, sometimes the "Original by" feature just disappears without reason.

    I've recently been accused of stealing someone's build, but I didn't steal anything. I downloaded a home, didn't like the interior, refurnished it and reuploaded it. It says "Original by: *EA account ID*", so I'm not taking credit for it. I just thought maybe someone would prefer my type of interior instead of the original.

    However I came across some of my other uploads where the "Original by" feature was nowhere to be found. I didn't do it on purpose, because I think it's only fair that the original creator gets the credit. I just didn't notice it was gone until now. I felt I had to remove the uploads because it wasn't originally made by me, only the interior.

    But maybe this has happened to others as well and they don't even know it? I certainly didn't do it on purpose, and have now removed all of my reuploads in which the original creator wasn't credited.


    I've noticed that lately too. On most things now the "Original by" has not been showing up.
