However, I feel pride when someone likes something I've made enough to download it to use in their own games. I upload things under the impression that that person is going to customize it to the needs of their sims. If they reupload that, I don't care too much. Some people don't build very easily, so using my build as a base is fine with me. If anything, I'm flattered they loved my work enough to improve upon it to use. That makes me happy.

> And seeing the irony of a heavily custom content sim being pisted with dont steal kind of at first made me laugh at the irony then made me wonder what the difference is that they can "steal" hair skin eyes clothes etc from wonderful mod creators and not give credit but can accuse others of "stealing" their work because rhey love it enough to want to save it. I just cant understand the big deal.
Oh, I feel you! I don't get it myself. To each their own. But, in a game with the option to share your creations, this is to be expected. I get how people can feel such strong ownership over what they've made. I've got sims that I refuse to turn aging on for cause I can't bare to watch them get old and die. Cheesy and sentimental, yes! haha. But, at the same time, it's a risk you take when giving something over to the community at large.
I do agree with you about CC content and not giving credit to the CC creators. To me, the whole thing is like playing Mr. Potato Head and getting mad when people "steal" your configuration. I may have spent 3 days building that house, but I didn't really build it from the ground up. I just put it together in a configuration that I found pleasing. I don't want to make people who are sensitive about their stuff being stolen mad or anything. I do get it! I really do. But, it's just a game and we're all here to just have fun? Right? Why make it miserable for yourself? Either take the risk of having it stolen or don't share it at all. *Shrugs*
My point exactly if you cant stand your creation being changed or re up loaded then dont share it. If it is just there for me to look at and comment tell me that put it on a website without a link to download it.
If you need that kind of credit make everyone aware that you have put it there for the recognition and i will recognize and comment and move on. But to accuse others of stealing when actually EA made the content you assembled it. That confuses me.
