On recent controversy

Hi, I just recently found you because someone posted on one of my facebook sims groups about your twin mod and ive been here on your patreon looking at all your amazing creations and I stumbled upon this conversation and it was shocking to say the least. I hope people arent still giving you a hard time because what youre doing is what patreon was designed to do. I also would like to add I follow alot of creators and you offer so much for free members than most others and even your upgrades for supportive donations is very reasonable and lower than most. Thank you for all your hard work and its appreciated. Keep Simming!!!!

I'm really sorry that you're facing so much criticism. It's honestly shocking and confusing where all of that is coming from, anyway. I really enjoy your mods, and I'm so happy that you adopted the one with all the feelings mod and reworked it. Thank you for your hard work!

insane that people are upset at you

omg this is WILD that its an issue. You, as the creator, deserve to decide how and where you post your work. Full stop. Your mods are amazing and v grateful they are free, AND you are absolutely valid in posting on Patreon. people can make a fake email and join (full recommend people have a spam dump gmail to use in these cases if they are that bothered). Keep doing you and thank you for your services to the sims community *salute into blowing a kiss*

Okay I’m lazy and only going through my mods now but this is dumb af. Free subscriptions should be REQUIRED by all creators honestly! Perhaps, if people subscribed to everyone they download from they would actually see when it gets updated. Crazy thought, I know. 🤣 I sub to EVERYONE because it’s way easier to keep up with updates when all are sent straight to my inbox! Everyone should be doing this and stop complaining about literally FREE shit. When I saw “controversy” I worried it might be about your add ons which is so silly. Very few creators bother making anything for other creators mods and I assume that is why people are confused about what you are doing. I really hope it’s just uneducated simmers complaining and not any creators. Some creators just don’t take feedback at all and it sucks. I wish more creators made tweaks like you do! It should be normalized. Your tweaks are for things that bother me enough that I considered getting rid of the mod. They are so helpful!

Your mods help make the game so much more enjoyable for me. Thank you for what you do!

Your mods are so helpful. I appreciate them so much. Don’t listen to the haters

Just came across your mods today when I was trying to find something to stop the damned macaroni making in cauldrons because I've gotten so fed up (literally) with my spellcaster sims trying to be the next Strega Nona, and next thing I know I'm finding mods that fix tons of things that have made me so ticked off for actual years! I'm forever grateful for you and every other modder out there spending so much time creating content for everyone, as many folks (myself included) could never understand how to do anything remotely related to creating mods or cc. So sorry that people are giving you grief about patreon and for making add ons for other mods; I'd hardly call what you do to be 'stealing' and there's nothing wrong with wanting an active community - or even wanting to make a little extra cash from early access options. All this to say keep doing as you please and know that people enjoy your work <3

Your ailment mod really came to my rescue when i needed it. Thank you for taking the time to make these mods!!

this is unrelated to this post but: FYI someone named "tesswritess" is re-posting your mods and many other creator's mods on the CurseForge mod hosting site, I was looking a cure ailment with medicine mod and the curseforge link appears first when searching (at least on Bing) so I hope you and others can find a way to take action against it, especially given (to my understanding) you get paid (ad-revenue) for downloads on curseforge so they may even be getting money off this

I have no idea what's going on, but it's honestly refreshing to see a creator who wants feedback and engagement from players. So many creators on Patreon lock even the ability to comment behind a paywall, which makes it feel like a one-sided exchange. By making your mods freely accessible with just a basic (free) subscription is a fair compromise, and it's great that you actually value interaction with your community. The transparency about your earnings and creative process is also appreciated. A lot of people don’t realize how much emotional effort and burnout can be involved in creating mods, especially when there’s little appreciation or acknowledgment. You're not just giving away content — you're building and maintaining something others use and enjoy, and that deserves respect.

im very grateful for your mods! thank you for making them

This community really needs to stop finding people to vilify. I haven't seen any controversy, but I love your work and appreciate the way you change my game for the better.

People do forget there is a person behind mods and cc, and can be very unappreciative! I've seen sites close down because people were unhappy that a modder wasn't updating files fast enough EVEN though the mods were free! I love all the mods and cc,only reason to play the sims. Don't let the haters get you down and remember without yours and people like you the sims game wouldn't have made it this far!! Thanks and loads of love.

I don't say anything, but I do love and appreciate everything that you do to make the game more fun and pleasant. Thank you very much!

I think I understand the feeling of constricting emptiness and disappointment when people don't show more enthusiasm for your work. I've been creating stories for The Sims 4 for a couple of years now, I used to post them on various FB groups in English, currently I'm creating in Czech on my blog. They are "just" pictures from the game, but many people don't realize that it takes hours, sometimes days of hard work to take them. That there are often dozens of different decorations, downloaded CCs and mods from great authors, poses that break down with any minor modification of an object, setting them up over and over again is an annoying process, but I try, I try so that readers like it, so that they are interested in following it further, so that I myself can be proud of what I've created. But then I don't get any comments, or even one that says, "Hurry up we want the next part!", no real opinion on what I've just created, and that sometimes it's like 40-60 images like that in one article. Come on, come on, come on, another part. :-/ And then I really don't even feel like posting anything, trying, because why? Instead of just playing and doing what I enjoy, I'm plagued with formalities like editing the photos, inserting them into the article, shrinking each one of them, complex alignment, attaching text, aligning and de-centering it, just... it's just stress and drudgery, it's not much fun. I have a similar problem with building houses for people, creating sims for the gallery. You make great mods and for free, so I really don't know what right people have to complain. And they say your job is just "editing"? Maybe they're referring to mods like the one I use "LittleRedSonja_ROM_HousesOfWitchcraft_(HOW)_Updated_By_SonozakiSisters", but there you clearly state that you updated the mod so it could continue to be used, which is commendable and I thank you very much for that! :-) I'd say don't be put off by those who can only criticize and never appreciate anything, but I'd totally understand if you'd just drop it and just play for yourself. It'll take away the stress and inconvenience.

your work is amazing! I have never been disappointed by anything that you created and you made my game more enjoyable to play so thank you for all that you do and pay those nay sayers no mind because they are just jealous of your work

I appreciate all of your work and your mods! Some in this community are so ungrateful! However you choose to share your work should be appreciated! Don't let those get you down there are still plenty of us who agree with you and understand and respect you! Happy Simming!

look if i could support you i would cause i just saw thats you release an update to an mod at 2 am so seeing thats i was surprise since it so sweet to do so by the way your really sweet i once comment saying i had a bug about something and you rush in order to repair it and even ask me if it worked now, so i dont think thats you deserve the copy accusation and for taking her defences i once try making mod and realize how hard it was and never did it

I had no idea this happened. Of all the mod creators to "call out", you shouldn't be anywhere near that list. Thank you for your hard work, you make my game better!

I'm just not a comment-y person, but I do appreciate your mods.

also sorry for a long comment and possible mistakes, I'm a dyslexic bilingual lmao 🤡

the lack of appreciation for GODLY work modders are doing for YOUR improved gameplay is by far the most frustrating thing about sims community. yall forget about certain creators who charge money per cc item and it shows. APPRECIATE PEOPLE WHO GIVE YOU SHIT FOR FREE ASKING FOR A FREE SUB IN RETURN. it just bothers me sm man. and for the actual creator who might be reading this comment: you absolutely don't need to "adress the controversy". it's your work (game changing, literally), you decide what you're doing for promotion, etc. from the bottom of my heart, I'm so sorry you have to deal with this kind of people, I cannot imagine how frustrating it must feel to give it all your time, resources and receive negativity as a result. I hope you're doing okay, don't let this shit ruin your day/week. there are people who genuinely love you and mods you create, we appreciate your work and will be forever grateful for it. as my mama says "fuck em bitches I don't need negative surroundings"

Controversy? Really? I am so greatful for your free mods. I'm so upset that money is too tight right now to upgrade to a paid tier.

I didn't know there was any controversy lol

They have nothing better to do clearly! I am thankful for your mods!

Crazy work that people will benefit from free labour and still complain about it.

I love your mods. I'm thankful for the time and effort you put into making them and offering them for free. I personally prefer patreon as a platform for downloading mods from. Your mods add alot of fun and fixes to my game. Thank you😊

I'm so sorry to hear about this. There can be a lot of negativity in our Sims community, and it's especially displaced when it's aimed towards creators like yourself who are giving immense time, energy, and skill for very little thanks or compensation. I love Patreon as a mod platform precisely because it helps with that disconnect - I feel like I get to know creators more rather than just grabbing mods, and it's made me appreciate that work a lot more too. I really support the approach you take with your mods, including and especially early access. The criticisms about your modification mods are especially unjustified also; to me, I've always felt really excited by them as it interweaves modded features and modders themselves. Thank you so much for what you do, and please be gentle with yourself while others are being this way

I love your mods! Thank you for what you do

the sims community is truly toxic

I'm so sorry to hear you have had to deal with controversy regarding your mods. Personally, they add so much to my gameplay and I'm grateful to have them! Please know that for every hater out there, there are many more of us that do appreciate you!

The whiners will always find people to complain about. You are providing valuable contributions to the community and we appreciate you 🙌🏾 Block the complainers. There are actually modded who make weird mods or steal mods and pretend it’s theirs. Or permanently paywall. They should use their energy there or just find a new hobby. Hope them people aren’t affecting you negatively, stay positive and keep being yourself 💗

Thank you for your work. I’m sick of this community of people always having something to say about creators. Like use the mod or DONT.

Haters gunna hate. Because they are jealous of your success. We love what you're doing so keeping doing you!

THANK YOU! THANK YOU SO MUCH! For all that you do, and for helping us with your wonderful mods to the game! Thanks to you and your mods, the game has become more interesting. And the fixes? Thanks to them I am not nervous and can enjoy the game! I can not support you financially, but I know that you deserve attention and gratitude for what you do. AGAIN, THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

It's so confusing you're under fire for an incredibly common modding practice. Games like Skyrim have entire mods that are essentially mods of other mods, either for bug fixes or extended compatibility or just aesthetic changes.
