Hello, i have concerns, because i work hard at what i do and i would like the other creators/players to not take my work and pass it off as their own creations. It is not fair and not right. There has been a lot of stealing and not acknowledging your work. 1. I buy and created my own patterns and textures and i don’t want to automatically share them when i upload homes, furniture clothes, etc. In Sims 4 your patterns/textures are not shared only the item at hand unless you upload your pattern to share. I do not want to share my patterns and textures that i make when people are not acknowledging that and taking them as there. I have a lot of things to upload but don’t want to because this is not a feature and i don’t want these patterns/textures uploaded so i hold off. There should be a way like sims that that happens and it changes. If creators want to share there textures and patterns then they are free to upload that just like they do homes, clothes, furniture etc.
The other concern is creating and uploading to canvas. A lot of people are downloading my stuff but they are re-uploading my things and not acknowledging who the original creator is. They are passing it off as there own. That is also not fair when you are working hard to share with them and they don’t appreciate it but want to steal what you’ve done. That needs to change. On Sims 4, when someone re-uploads your creation to the gallery it automatically show the original creators name and link to their profile as it states below so that way it will acknowledge who originally created it. I don’t want to keep creating when others are stealing my creations and not even acknowledging who created it. I see my stuff in most re-uploads and i am not on the contributor and/or they will try to modify it and re-upload it so they think i would not know but because i create a lot of my own patterns/textures i know my work. My suggestion is to have that put in so we don’t have to keep stressing over it. I am a creator on another game also and my patterns and textures are not shared unless i put it in my shop to buy but, when i make clothes, hair, furniture etc., my patterns and textures are not available to them. Please consider things changes. Then i will be excited to create and upload. I don’t want to share my patterns/textures. I want all the creators acknowledged automatically. I see it happening to more than me. Creators leaving messages on others uploads because they are using there stuff but not acknowledging the original creator. Please put that in the game.
In Sims 4, the gallery will show the original creator’s name when another creator re-uploads an item, often linked to their profile. The game automatically adds a credit to the original creator, which is often a clickable link to their gallery page. While this feature exists, some users have noted it can sometimes be buggy or not display as expected, but the default behavior is to give credit.
How it works
-
Automatic credit: When you download an item and then upload your remixed version, the Sims 4 Gallery will show both your username and a link to the original creator.
-
Credit appears on the item’s page: This credit is part of the item’s gallery page and is visible to other players who download it.
-
Remodeling vs. using original: Even if you completely rebuild an item from scratch, if you use parts of a lot that were originally built by someone else, the original creator will still be credited. This happens when you merge or replace items and can’t always be avoided even if you remove the original items from the lot.
-
Potential issues: While the feature is designed to give credit, some users have reported bugs or inconsistencies where the original creator’s name is not displayed correctly.
-
Gallery etiquette: It is considered good etiquette to credit the original creator when sharing your work, and the gallery automatically helps with this.
