Hi everyone - I wanted to take a moment to address a situation that has come up regarding my recent release. A creator is claiming that I have stolen their mesh and that it is the same as my stone wash bay divider. There are a few points I want to go through so bear with me.
First off - here was my inspiration for the stone wash bays and my first wip:
And here is my browser history recording when I first looked at the page the inspo photo is from:
My WIP is dated April 16th. According to the timeline posted by the creator's mother (see below) this was DAYS before someone joined to purchase the mesh.
The next section is comparing the meshes. I was given the WHES mesh by an anonymous source just today in order to defend myself as their object is behind a paywall.
My object is on the left and the other is on the right. As you can see, there are significant differences in the overall form and the smaller details.
Here are the meshes side by side. The differences are apparent. The creator's mother has claimed that I edited the second mesh to create the first one, but this would, quite frankly, have not been worth the effort over creating it from scratch as I did.
Finally, here are the object definitions. I don't know who SimHaus Studios is but as you can see, these are two unique files.
She is saying that I haven't reached out to her. I have. I reached out to her and her mother as I saw their posts. Both sent responses amounting to "we don't want to talk" and then blocked me. I to this day don't have either of them blocked.
These individuals continue to lump this accusation in with completely separate issues they have with a Sims 4 discord server they are banned from also due to harassing behavior.
I can't control the dozens of alts they make to work around being banned to access my content, but I do have the right to remove harassing comments from my pages. Some examples of these comments: (TW- swearing)
It's exhausting to deal with the flood of alt accounts and trolls sent to harass me. I don't know why they all like drama so much. The only thing that has helped me deal with it was the equal outpouring of support for me and my work. It touches me more than I can possibly express.
Thank you for reading friends, and remember, don't feed the trolls.
P.S. - This is my 1,000th post on Tumblr. Here's to 1,000 more <3
