I don't want to be part of the things you do. So if they were to download one of my sims, and changed it completely, then reupload it, my name would have still been in there, and that wouldn't have made me feel too good either. But we can't change the original creator's name. People could change the creator names of my original sims, if I were to share them, that wouldn't bother me at all. And not because "I made it, so your name shouldn't be on it", but only because it just feels awkward, personally. I don't share my sims, but if I were to do that, I wouldn't want a random person's name listed as the creator. It's easy in my case because I own both accounts. It's about the name of the original creator being completely obsolete. It's not about the copyright issue though. But I didn't see this feature, don't know if there is one. Maybe it would have been better, if we could see not only creator's name but also the looks of original sim, so that we could compare the changes. Now I know that I need to press "start new family", because even if you randomise new sim, the game still thinks it's not yours. It's not as if you built everything yourself.ĭiAnkhiar, well, if you think they're just sims and it's ridiculous to be concerned about copyright, do you really need it to be -your- name in place of the original creator on that sim? I don't mean to be rude, and I've even been in a situation like this: downloaded a sim from the Gallery, forgot about it, pressed randomise button a few times, made some sim, saved it and suddenly - I'm not the only autor (: But I uploaded the sim anyway, even knowing other creator's sim didn't take any part in my creation. They're just sims, I mean, everyone has the tools. I love my original character, which I also use as a sim a lot and I'm completely attached to her, but I'm not bothered by the fact that other people can make a similar-looking sim. And I mean, are people really gonna copyright their sims now? That's a whole different level of ridiculous, in my opinion. If it would have been TS4, the name of the original creator on that sim would have been obsolete. And then sometimes I even forget I'm working on a downloaded sim. It's also something I tend to do a lot, since I download other people's creations not only so my game can have more diversity, but also to use their creations as a base. I remember in TS3 I downloaded a Kristen Stewart sim I think it was, and after a while of tweaking and changing, I ended up with something completely different (in fact, I think I ended up with a new version of my OC at the time, which is nothing like Kristen Stewart). Yeah, people will definitely abuse of such a feature, but sometimes it's also kind of necessary. Note that this sim, screenshotted in my library, is marked as created by granthes, but it is not enabled for commenting because it has not been "shared" (in the official sense)Įdit: Just found out that PlatinumSimmers had a tut on this a month ago Credit to them! Be interested to hear what experiences others have attempting this though. Sim sharing via gallery currently strips CC we have not tested that this is still true when sims are shared by this method. Has the advantage that you can link any CC the sim uses in the same place. Grant's looking into what exactly is in those files, but in the meantime (until MTS's TS4 section goes up ), you can presumably use this method to share sims from your Simblr or whatever you have. Send those to the recipient, and if they place them in THEIR tray folder, they'll find your sim in their library, perfectly intact. You'll find at least five files in there with the same timestamp, like this (a one-sim household): Then look in Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4 Create A Sim Demo\Tray and sort by date. If you want to bypass the Gallery to share a household, it's just a matter of saving it to your library. Just tested the idea with Granthes and it works fine for the demo at least. This is fairly obvious info, but I haven't seen anything posted on it.
