Anyone else sick of Patreon??
Not sure if this is the right place to put this, but is anyone else sick of everyone putting their new CC on patreon? It's like everything I see that I want to download I have to pay for. I wouldn't...

I don't make Custom Content for the sims because I really don't have the time for it. If I had the time to make CC I gladly would. I make content for Daz and Poser but I have licencing so that I can do that. If I were to share CC I created I wouldn't charge anything for it. My reason for that is because I don't own The Rights to The Sims. The Game and DLC yes but owning those aren't the same thing as owning the rights or having licencing from EA to create content for them. However, that is me and when I was learning my professors drilled it into all of us about Copyright Law and licencing and how utterly important for us to know this.
However, that simply is how I am. I don't see CC Creators putting things behind a paywall with Patreon being greedy rather the feeling that they are entitled to be paid for their hard work. Why shouldn't they be paid or be allowed to ask for donations on their sites? It's about ethics and morality. We don't all have the same beliefs. Not all countries have the same laws. It would be kind of hypocritical of me making paid content because I have licencing to do so while CC creators take the time and energy to make content for all of us and charge us for it. It would be hypocritical of me to shame them.
When I have the time I'll share some presets with the community for free that I plan on making in the future.
I want to say thank you to everybody who creates beautiful CC whether on Patreon or when on your own site or sites like TRS or Mod the sims. I just wish I had more time to help the community with creating CC for all of you. I don't think it would be any more difficult than creating content for Daz and Poser or back in the day when I was a student and would create content for IMVU or Second Life so that I could better understand 3ds Max which I still hate using to this day.
If you get everything for free Blender, Second Life content, Gimp, Autodesk Sketchpad and other free programmes and content to convert over do you have the right to charge the community for it? That really is a grey area in my opinion. Who am I to judge. Not my place to.
