Unpopular opinion? but simdumps aren't what's hurting cc creators.
I don't like stirring up drama, but here is my reasoning for including cc in a simdump, and saying (credit to cc creators!) other than it being perfectly legal.
I have made links to cc multiple times in the past, and a whole bunch of them were dead and unhelpful within a year. Because they were deleted, because a creator quit. When I went looking for sims 3 simdumps long ago, all of them were done in the way you say is proper, and every single one was a dead link, rendering it completely useless. (Because those ts3 cc creators moved on to ts4 or quit & deleted) And those were only two year old ts3 simdumps at the time. Basically, creators & their cc will always come and go, and people have a right to move on. But there is a bit of discouragement and disappointment for both parties.
The reason for not tagging all the creators is for self preservation. Because a lot, if not all of those who have exclusive, locked cc, have been known to harass and go as far as to actually cures simmers, hack their accounts and competely destroy them... it's hard to tell whose psycho about a game these days.
I do like things to be convenient for me and competent downloaders like myself. And if anyone ever wanted any specific cc I have used, I gladly send them to the creator through wcif's. But giving credit is not something I owe them. I do really appreciate creators so I give credit! but I don't owe them anything. (Like how ppl don't have to tag me everytime they use one of my sims. It's great to be appreciated, but they don't owe me that)
And when you decide to download cc of any kind, you're responsible for how it's organized in your folder. That goes across the board for all games, not just sims.
Conclusion: What's important is for creators and distributors to inform themselves, on legal agreements, like shown in the picture I included.
Whether you agree with me or not.
I am sorry if I've ever offended anyone, that was never my intention. But this is my opinion.
