A little rant about the patreon two-three weeks before posting EA “rule”
I wanted to discuss this because I am sick of avoiding the matter when it’s being brought to the table by mostly mm creators (sorry but it’s true).
First of all, for those who didn’t hear about this “rule” made by SimGuruDrake, here is the orignal statement from 2017:
This rule didn’t specify the creators that were concerned which I always thought was very very unfair because many creators, especially the alpha creators, always made their meshes from scratch and never even used ea’s meshes or ea’s textures once in their creations, which is my case and MANY other alpha creators’ case. That’s why I decided that this rule wasn’t fair for me and I decided to not follow it, but sometimes I felt bad because a lot of alpha creators that create their own meshes are following this rule.
Now a couple of days ago I went over this tweet right here:

This tweet shows a discussion between felixandresims on twitter and simgurudrake on twitter. Simgurudrake is the one that made the rule in 2017 about the cc locked behind patreon. This discussion CLEARLY states that if the cc isn’t made out of ea meshes or textures, then the rule doesn’t apply and it’s 100% owned by the creator himself. Seeing this makes me really happy that finally EA acknowledges that this rule shouldn’t be applied to every creator because this isn’t fair and this isn’t even legal in my opinion (because the package format isn’t owned by ea, it can be used to put together meshes and textures for other purposes than the sims).
Now reading this I am truly hoping alpha creators and all of the creators who aren’t using ea meshes or textures will do whatever they want with their cc because it’s in their own right to not follow any rules since they own their cc.
Last thing I want to talk about is some mm creators that were beyond disrespectful to alpha creators because we, as the alpha “community”, didn’t always follow the rule. I am honestly disgusted by some of them with how disrepectful they could get with us even though we did nothing to them.. Also I was sick of their rants about the ea rule that THEY should respect and they are the only ones who are concerned about this rule..
Anyways sorry for my poor english, it’s not my native language so please bare with me and I will see you soon.
