CC creator's help needed

As probably many of you did, I downloaded ArchitecturalSims' HUGE private conversions, and withing them, are a pair of victorian couches by felixandre. Does any of you have this same issue? I believe it's a texture thing but I've got no idea about how to solve it myself.

Since the creator will surely not answer, I wonder if any of you could be of help, I'd hugely appreciate it!

@myshunosun — one of the amazing creators whose CC lives in so many of our games — wrote something on Patreon that’s been sitting with me:

“I want to feel like I’m in charge of my own creativity. I have paused many projects due to fear of not meeting (someone’s, algorithm’s?) expectations.”

Wow. How many of us have dreamed up a project, staged it, edited it, loved it… only to abandon it because the post “flopped”? Because the absence of notes or reblogs made it feel like rejection?

And how many who do get traction start feeling trapped by it — shelving ideas, cutting them off entirely, just to keep feeding what people already like? That popularity should feel like vindication but instead it becomes a chore? Obligation? That’s the razor-thin line every creative walks.

I’ve lost a few moots I adored this past year. You can tell when someone starts feeling like they’re not talented enough, or not “in” enough. The posts dwindle. The breaks grow longer. One day there’s an announcement or maybe everything is gone. It’s disheartening.

So if you’re a creator — in any sense — please don’t stop sharing you. I’m not going to feed you platitudes about how “someone out there needs it” or “you’re wonderful” because I don’t know that (yet?).

What I do know: it’s scary as hell to yell into the dark and never hear an echo. But if you’re going to be out here anyway, you might as well fucking roar.

I want to ask

Respectully, creators who use Patreon and have their CC posts set so that people have to log in and "join for free" to download a non-early access thing: What is the benefit of using that "feature"? I ask in earnest.

I use Patreon myself, and I never saw any benefit at all to turning this setting on posts. Before that update the website just called these "followers" and there was no forced account creation in order to download something. But they added that extra "tier" of "free members".

When they implemented the option for this new setting, it seemed for one thing, completely redundant. We have followers if people want a count, all it did was create the situation where people are forced to sign up on their website, unless I'm missing something here.

To me, turning on this setting only creates frustration for people who want to use the CC. They likely have the creator's posts saved here on their Tumblr, or reblogged on their CC finds page, they aren't going to lose them or forget about them. People who don't use Tumblr & found a creator on Patreon will follow them anyway. The downside to using this setting is that no one wants to have to log in to the website every time they want to download something. No one wants to stay logged in there for the entire time they are online "just in case". No one wants to have to keep track of yet another account's log in info. & People don't want to share their info with yet another website.

I feel like people just don't notice the crap that websites do to try to up their usage numbers. It looks good to their shareholders. It's of no benefit here (again, unless I'm missing something, please explain?)

Please consider not using that setting on Patreon CC posts. Instead of "access to free members", make it public! I personally don't follow anyone on Patreon because too many notifications are overwhelming for my ADHD and I need to be able to keep track of my patrons' messages and such. I don't bother reblogging those posts here -(which is also frustrating because there is so much I love)- because I don't want to promote the aggravating experience and lack of consideration (albeit probably an unaware one) for people not wanting to send their registration info to a zillion websites.

Anyway please just consider the above. I'm not trying to be awful at anyone and I'm not mad at people or anything. I just feel like this is a really annoying thing that popped up in our community, because Patreon decided they wanted their user numbers to go up.

Hey all, I just see that I need to reiterate this:

DO NOT upload my CC to builds you are uploading to TSR, CF, SimsDom, ModCollective, or Boosty.to.

I'm sure your build is fantastic (sincerely), but please don't do it. Thanks.

If you just link the download page for my CC it would be appreciated.

If your Patreon account is locked unless people follow you, linking the download page for my CC items is also appreciated.

If your build is somewhere like SimFileShare, Mega, your Patreon account (as a public post), etc. That's fine to include my CC as long as it's not perma-paywalled / log-in-walled, or a month+ early access.
