I was extremely happy that EA added a Custom Content and Unowned Content tags, which means that we can (or should be able to) filter out unwanted content. Except...no. I keep "Include Custom Content" unticked, meaning I want to filter out all uploads with CC. Yet recently more and more ugly IMVU-looking monstrosities are bypassing the filter, making it extremely annoying to have to wade through them in order to find good-looking Maxis-match sims for someone like me, who keeps their game CC-free. How do they do that, and is there a way to block it? Do I need to start putting the creators on ignore or something?http://41.media.tumblr.com/93db3d0290b3a3f7e7481282f4658617/tumblr_nlw6ljPMAe1t0jfq2o1_1280.jpg

Idk, it forces the tag on all my cc sims. Maybe they were added to the gallery pre-update? I'm honestly more annoyed at the people doing it as I feel like their purposely avoiding the filter for views.

But yeah you're right, it's likely done on purpose, which I find irritating. So if putting them all on ignore would solve me seeing their uploads, I will happily block them all.

I also feel bad for anyone that doesn't know about cc and gets super dissapointed when they download a cc sim exlecting to get the cc as well. I guess we can only hope EA fix it.

Idk but I've had cc free items marked as having cc and I cant uncheck the box. Idk how ppl could get around it.

I noticed that too. I think these people have a pirated game (wich does not recieve updates) or they don't update their original games for some reason. When I have custom default eyes I am tagged and can't do nothing to untag it, so that seems like the only way. (No, I don't keep my game outdated).

How are people bypassing "Modded" tag in the gallery?

This happens to me with lots all the time, I have to take my entire mods folder out just to be able to upload a CC-free lot without the "Modded" tag. :-/

I guess they could implement a change where you will not be able to share anything unless you're fully patched.

It seems this inadequate system penalizes normal legitimate creators, and is easy to cheat for those who aren't.

I'm not sure the gallery works though if your game is outdated.

It's the bad cc virus spreading all over again. This time with heavily modded gallery sims.

I'm joking guys don't take me seriously. Don't get scared lol. You have the option to contain the cc or not.

This is possible. I have a few that aren't tagged because they were there before (back when I just started playing and didn't even realized I was uploading them to the gallery.) Still haven't figured out how to remove a creation. Sometimes I'm kinda blind I guess.

Nope. I'm wrong. All my 'pre modded tag' sims are showing as 'modded'. I have no idea how they do it.
