look i get from where people are coming from with "cc creators should be compensated for creating cc" but i don't think that most of you were here in simblr when having a patreon wasn't the norm, back in 2016-2018 it was really fun suddenly finding cc for the game (i'm talking about maxis match mostly) because you could notice they were passion projects, someday you were just lurking on here and then someone spontaneously posted cc and at least for me that just made me want to go in the game to see how it looked on my sims and i always remember the first "big" cc creator that changed to patreon (and i have a bone to pick with him bc how it is that your cc hasn't improved in quality at all since you started earning money for it) and how most of them followed after. i was a patron back then of some of the biggest creators not because i wanted to support them necessarily but rather because early access is a predatory model and i have anxiety issues. but now for years these big cc creators have been doing the bare minimum in terms of their content, they no longer engage with the simblr community as whole except for the time they have to collect their paycheck and with a market so saturated we end up with almost 50 versions of the same piece of cc from different creators. It's capitalism and soulless. greediness killed their creativity.
