Now I'm not knocking anyone for using CC first of all. I'm an avid user of CC and I can't live without my folder of ccs! That said, I really don't understand why anyone uploads CC sims to the gallery. They are aware that you can't download CC via gallery, so your cc-covered sims are going to download as bald and naked for a user that doesn't already own these cc items. So why do people do it? It's just false advertising and frankly it's annoying. Despite this new patch that filters cc items in the gallery, I still see plenty of cc items leaking through (how this is possible, I don't know). But I really dont want to see this stuff anymore when I'm browsing through my gallery.

"False advertising"? It is not like you are buying these sims/lots.I upload any sims that I think that look good. I put a #CC tag if I used CC on them, but I other than that I don't think twice about it.

I think people just like to get attention for the things they have made. I don't use cc and would rather it not appear in my gallery either, I've heard there are ways to get around the cc filter and that is why things are leaking through. I won't repeat them here because I don't want to give anyone ideas or encourage it. I agree it is annoying. It's also very annoying that people tag #nocc on items that clearly have cc in them :/

The purpose of the gallery is to share sims with other people so they can download it and have it in their game too. But what's the point if the sim you uploaded is never going to look that way in other people's games? You *know* that it's not going to, and you upload it anyway. I just don't understand why?

I've uploaded my sims house, it took ages to build and I have it in my library too, it's incase my game goes 'boom' and I lose it, it does say back up for my own use, loads of cc and use of moo in the description as well as the #cc tag.

I use the Gallery as a "backup" of my Sims in case my Saved games are lost/corrupted. So it makes sense if people with CC are also doing that. I personally never use CC though.

Why do people upload CC sims/houses on the gallery?

attention-simmers, some are smart enough to add the CC links, others just never add them on purpose, it's the same as some modders in Skyrim doing pictures of their stuff but saying it's "private", they just can't keep this to themselves they want attention.

Sometimes it's also lost in the middle of hundreds of comments.

Believe it or not out of everyone who plays the sims. There is going to quiet alot of people who have the same CC on thiers therefore if they download the sim the hair etc will still be there.

@RhiiJayy
Many people find a way to leak through the filter. Despite the filter, I still see tons of CC. That was the whole point of my thread. I do not want to see it, yet people purposely leak it through.
