Not my normal post but I wanted to put this out there:

If you see my cc posted anywhere but here, The Equestrian Sims Discord, or my Patreon, don’t download it.

I cannot guarantee that reposted files aren’t corrupt or malicious.

I am not a member of this server, nor do I plan to be because of actions like this, and my stance on reposting files has been made very clear.

Stay vigilant and make good choices when it comes to modding your game-only download from trusted sources.

The entitlement from some of you is actually INSANE.

Creators owe you absolutely nothing, and with the way things are going in this community, I’d be surprised if many of us continue to create for the public.

It’s disappointing to watch you all throw tantrums over pixels, if you want it that bad, learn how to make it your damn self instead of throwing a pity party.

Okay but why would a prominent member of the ts4 cc community and experienced 3D modeller steal the mesh of a total beginner and- *checks notes* ... Use an alt account to pay real money to access a paywalled mesh, 'blow up' the mesh to 'hide the evidence', 'refine it', remap the UVs completely and add new textures, spending hours making a single 'rustic' mesh look polished... when it would take less time to simply make a new mesh from scratch?

The obvious and most parsimonious answer is 'sometimes two people use the same reference material unknowingly', and that doesn't constitute theft.

Debunking Myths

Hey everyone.

This'll probably be the last post from me!

I won't be creating anymore, as I'm sure you've probably noticed. I'm not really bothered if things get sent around and reuploaded, because that's the nature of the Sims community.

I spotted a reddit post claiming I'd been caught stealing from the Sims 3 community, so I thought I'd do some quick debunking.

Here's a photo taken from Elin's website, which you can see had my Tumblr page linked all this time because I was officially one of the people converting IHTL stuff!

My Valentines collection was actually all meshed from scratch APART from the headband, which I used an EA mesh for out of pure laziness. Just because two meshes look very similar doesn't mean they're stolen! People use the same inspiration photos.

They aren't even the same shape, not to mention just how awful my topology is compared to the incredible ones Elin made!

The Valentines jump was actually created by Dalman Jump Co IRL! I intentionally made my version a little bit different to stay respectful.

Please always do your research and don't just assume things! If you're that convinced, speak to the creator or check the mesh yourself. This kind of behaviour in the community is exactly why so many of us have chosen to leave.

Hope this helps clear things up!

ATTENTION: To anyone who uses my breed templates

It has come to my attention that Jocelyn (known as maplewood-estate, cath-creative-corner, jocelynxflores, eqsims, and several other alts) of the Equiliberty Discord server has uploaded my breed template files to her server without my knowledge or consent. This is a problem for two reasons:

One.

I specifically state in my TOS not to re-upload my work anywhere else, as it is hosted on Simfileshare, with backup copies on my google drive in the event Simfileshare goes down. I do not mind if my work is privately shared between friends (especially through imports etc) or in small groups, but I do mind when someone re-uploads the files somewhere themselves without credit or a direct link to my blog. That this person did this doesn't actually surprise me, as she is well known within the TS4 community for stealing cc from other creators, removing their names/IDs from the file, and refusing to give credit where credit is due. I formally requested that she remove my files from her server, which she refused to do. I was also accused of being a bully for pointing out this theft and for asking that the files be taken down.

Two.

Earlier today, it came to my attention that one of my breed templates - the Thoroughbred breed template - was corrupting save files. Upon further investigation with the affected person, it was revealed to me that they downloaded this corrupted template not from my simfileshare link, but from the Equiliberty discord server. None of the templates from the direct download from simfileshare have this issue, which leads me to believe that whatever copies got uploaded to that server, they were corrupted. I do not know if this corruption was intentional or not. It is important to always download my files (or files from any creator, really), directly from the source, as those files will always be the most up-to-date versions and also guaranteed not to be corrupted. If you wish to share cc to a wider audience (like a server), simply link to the relevant post on my blog or simfileshare page. This ensures that other people can also access the most up-to-date version, as well as discover more of my work.

Unfortunately, because Jocelyn reacted with hostility to my request, I was unable to explain the very good reason why I was asking that my work be taken down and replaced with links. This entire issue could have been avoided had my Terms of Service been followed, as the original upload was not corrupted at all. Unfortunately, because of this, a handful of people lost hours of hard work, which makes me incredibly sad. Obviously, as a creator, there really isn't anything I can do if my TOS are violated beyond blocking known violators, but I would like to think that observing any creator's TOS is a simple sign of respect. Going forward, I will continue to share my breed templates through this blog. I am also certain they will continue to be stolen, but there is little I can do about that. All I ask is that people remember that the safest files will always be those downloaded directly from the content creator's page, and that anyone who reuploads my files elsewhere instead of directly linking to my blog is violating my TOS and also possibly sharing corrupted files with you. Be aware and be safe!

   Greetings and Welcome to my The Sims 4 CC Coven!

      My name is Vexbloom, some of you might already know me as an equine artist under Vakrai. You may also call me Rai [raɪ] or Vex, I prefer they/them pronouns.       VexbloomHollow is my art and the ts4 cc alias, and a new project I am very excited to work on!

      About

      I'm a multimedia artist, both by profession and as a hobby. I’ve been creating digital art for over 15 years, with the last 10 years dedicated to doing it professionally.       My work spans digital painting & illustration, animation, motion graphics, and video effects. Recently, I've started learning Blender, to delve into modelling and animation.       Other than that, I'm a plant parent with an ever-growing collection of green babies, an enthusiast for all things equestrian, and a music geek. I love bird watching, art-house cinema, and contemporary art, especially jewellery and pottery.

      The Sims franchise holds a very special place in my heart, I first fell in love with this pixel universe back when I was a wee little kid, playing since the very first game released. The Pets and Making Magic dlc’s were my absolute favourite, still bringing back the fondest memories!

      My favourite aspects of the game are building, painting animals in cas, and creating intertwined households with unique looking characters.

      With the addition of horses to The Sims 4, I've begun dipping toes into modding and creating custom content, which I'm very excited to share with you all! I hope to put my skills to good use, bringing high-quality equestrian CC to all the virtual stables!
