I agree with everyone who thinks that uploading someone else's creations as yours is stealing.

There is something else to think about with this subject, my game has become a little laggy and one of the suggestions is to clean out your tray file, which means that you have to upload your houses to the Gallery itself and not just your personal library, which means that if and or when I do this, I will have to upload a lot of houses that are not my own but redone by me to the Gallery for all to see. So perhaps a lot of people aren't actually stealing other peoples buildings but just cleaning out their tray file.
Yes, some time ago my game was having problems, so I uploaded some creations to the Gallery to save them. One of them was the family of Amber Stein, Chuck Cenzo and their children. (Everyone knows Amber Stein, don't you?) The family was sent to the Gallery under the name "By SimGuruZephyr". Later I deleted it from my studio as it wasn't mine. So, if you re-upload someone else's creation, why not write something like "It was originally made by...", "It wasn't made by me...", etc. in the description? Not even for the author but for yourself to feel honest. If you give credits to the author, it isn't stealing.
Recently, I "got famous" - my lot has been re-uploaded. https://vk.com/images/stickers/74/64.png

The lot has been re-uploaded by the same person six (!) times.
I visited their studio:

There are lots of re-uploaded creations there. By @KaruDesigns @RABOOSKI @Zita1966z @sanyushechka and many others.
I'm not going to blame Maxis - they do what they can and my name is on all of the re-uploads.
I'm not going to stop uploading - I hope some of my creations are interesting and useful for people.
I just want to ask the re-uploader: Do you really think you are cool? https://vk.com/images/stickers/70/64.png
I changed around a park from the gallery and I made it smaller, and I put that it was not made originally by me, I just fixed it to be smaller, and I put where they could find the original and all complements I said belonged to the original creator, so I did not think that was stealing, as I put them on the gallery to save them.
