An Explanation of the Harrie Sims 4 CC Situation
Disclaimer: In no way am I trying to spread gossip and drama however I believe this is fairly well known at this point, however when googling it, it is hard to find information about so I thought I would make a post to share it myself. [anything bolded is for emphasis, anything italics has a screenshot proof at the bottom]
Summary of the situation Well-known Sims 4 CC creator, Harrie/HeyHarrie created a Winterfest CC collection, which in my opinion contains multiple lovely and well-presented CC. The reason why this is seen as a huge issue is that it has been released a few days before Christmas, but only for Patreon subscribers. This means that the public release is not until 14th February 2025 [please note this is Valentines Day, as they mention not wanting to release on other holidays]
This means that to download this in time for the holidays you must be paying a minimum of £4.50 per month. For obvious reasons, this upset multiple people as it is clearly intended for the holiday season. Harrie, and friend/partner/website collab Felixandre make multiple thousands of dollars per month from Patreon, and can afford to release some things for free.
Unfortunately, this is not where the situation ends, it is the beginning. When issues and questions about this were raised to her, Harrie was extremely rude to people.
At the bottom of this post is both the photo used to promote the collection, to show the holiday theme, as well as screenshots of her responses to the situation. I highly recommend you read these to fully grasp the situation.
I was unaware of these issues in the past as I try to stay out of situations like Sims drama, however when it becomes borderline bullying, something must be said. I am also disappointed that EA has supported her for so long [creator code, items in the game, etc] considering the paywall issue.
Side note: I have found complaints on Reddit from over a year ago that Harrie had been rude to them and blocked them as well. Obviously, I do not have the best evidence for this, but considering the situation, it is highly likely. I have found similar complaints about Felixandre, with whom she shares a website. I was also made aware from TikTok that it had been mentioned she utilises AI to create her CC. I couldn't find anything concrete about this, however, it is a good thing to note [especially when charging people]
Just to be clear as many people have mentioned the AI part, it was something I heard that I do not have evidence for but have heard a lot of rumours about.
Link to a reddit post discussing these, and similar, issues.
Thank you for reading this and going forward I will not be reblogging any CC from these creators due to their behaviour.
A question to sims creators~
Just to kill my curiosity 😆
I remember noticing this a couple of months ago but I completely forgot about it, the original maxis body mesh they have a diferent bone color near the pelvis called "shorts" but on new meshes and even old tutorials you never see them using them or mentioning it, do they just do the same job has the "thigh" bones and are useless? (I did try googling it but found nothing)

Attention Creators!
I really enjoy helping my friends with textures and recoloring and stuff like that. I’ve learned so much through the kindness of others in this community. I’d like to give that back. But I can’t do it by myself! I only know how to do certain things. I know a lot about some things. But not a lot about others. I think it would be neat if other creators joined me in making a creators help blog where we can answer questions and post tutorials and things like that. I feel like a lot of people are too scared to ask for help or are too overwhelmed to know where to start. If a bunch of us that do different things (hair mesh/recolor, clothing mesh,recolor, build/buy mesh/recolor, conversions, etc) all got together we could make up for each others weaknesses as creators and teachers together. And in turn learn things from one another while teaching others. I’d really be interested in hearing any thoughts about this from my fellow creators. And it doesn’t have to be just Sims 4. This is an idea open to any Sims creator. If you have any ideas or would maybe like to join/help please PM me. Or if you have anything opinions/ideas as a creator or consumer, please share! I’d love to know any and all thoughts. <3
PLEASE TAG YOUR DOWNLOADS AS TS3 OR TS4. Now that I’m playing both, y'all are confusing.
Sincerely, A CC Junkie
