A difficult decision regarding my Patreon page

I truly love your content. I won't use any other shoes in my game. I pray you know that God is with you, and the enemy will try to kill, steal, and destroy, but Jesus has already won the battle.

Thank you for your dedication. I feel that despite the ill intentions of some, your content has always been a balm for many of us. I hope you return someday. Thanks again from Argentina.

Just seeing this after taking a break from cc shopping due to focusing on school. I'm sorry you this happened and hope you find a solution to reduce people exploiting your work <3

Grateful for you and so frustrated by the greed of others

OH NO!!! This is horrible! I LOVE your content. I did NOT want to see you go!! :(

Yes, close the page. It will make your content more valuable and people will be more likely to buy from thieves. Brilliant solution.

This post really makes me sad however, your reason is VALID. And I just hate how people can take advantage of something that is given totally free. That is why we never get to be blessed with good things. I do hope you enjoy your permanent hiatus and I just want to say, before you go, that some of us here are still truly grateful for all that you have done for the community.

I've only just gotten into using cc and mods and came across you from some old reddit threads, you are still being mentioned in a group I am in. Your shoes and socks are my favourite. I am really sad that this has happened to you. I really do hope you come back and create more content.

im so sad i only found out about you because of this announcement :( your work is beautiful and its so frustrating to hear what people have done with it. all of your work is so high quality and to make all of it available for free is generous, im sorry you have to deal with this.

I hate to see this happen to you-your shoes are some of the best that I have ever come across. The community has become more saturated with people that lack respect, dignity, and overall kindness. To lose such great talent such as yourself because of someone wanting to monetize from someone else's hard work and dedication is sickening. If you ever decide to come back and decide to offer subscriptions I would definitely pay because your talents are worth it! Much love!

Um, I thought you stopped creating cc?

:((((

😫

"I’ve seen your great shoes in many Thai Sims 4 creator livestreams. Everyone really loves your work, especially those unique women’s shoes. To be honest, I haven’t downloaded your stuff myself because I don’t use a wide variety of shoes in my game. But my followers on Facebook told me about your announcement, and I wanted to send a message. I’m really sorry you had to deal with this. I truly hope you keep finding the motivation to create the stuff you love. I’m actually loading my game right now to go see how awesome your creations are for myself. Whatever you decide, I just want to wish you, Jius, happiness."

Aw man i'm so sorry you have to deal with that. We really appreciate all of the hard work you put into your creations. I understand you have to do what is best for you.

Thank you for your great work over the years! I'm so sorry to see you go, but I wish you the very best in your future endeavors. You definitely made the best shoe cc out here.

Mind you, your work is completely free. There is zero reason for someone to steal your work when the work is right there for everyone to grab smh.

This is exactly why I uninstalled the Sims. I'm so done with EA and the community at large. I wish you the best. <3

I am so sorry that people are stealing your work! You have made playing the game amazing with your creations, i wish you all the best!

Thanks so much for your cc. I am so sorry that happended to you.

Thank you for all of your hard work Jius. The sims community is just becoming more and more toxic as the days go by. People can't tell you how to feel and don't feel bad for pulling away if you don't like what is happening to your work. Protect you peace.

Thank you so much for your hard work and creativity.

There are a lot to download and I want all of them! ha. Would it be possible for you to post an all in one download at all? :-)

I mean this in the nicest way possible and yes its super frustraiting that people online can steal your creations and get away with it without any copyright claims. happenes to all content creators especially on youtube. you either have to accept it and ignore it or fight it. Its not just people stealing, its AI too now. however as harsh as it sounds everything that bad happends to you is in some way some amount your fault, same with the good. You influenced it some how. One of the rules online is if a creator stops supporting thier work it becomes abandonwear, its unwanted and its free for anyone to take, all terms are void. you said it your self you havent been around for a year. closing your page will only cemment all that. people will be reuploading and stealing it evenmore against your wishes and your making it that much easier giving them a dealine to download everything. I sugest ignoring what everyone else is doing can keep doing what you love and/or switch to another platform that takes content stealing more seriously like nexus mods for example. Thats just my two cents anyway.

No one can understand your dismay better than an Italian. The world is full of fake "Made in Italy" products, and they've stolen everything from us: ideas, projects, and works of art. Many pretend it's all theirs, but instead they're actually plagiarizing. And you can't even defend yourself. Since the days of the ancient Romans, Cicero said in court: "There's a fine line between plagiarism and theft; and the question still remains as to what actually constitutes a crime when you take someone's material." The only consolation is that no one steals from the small, everyone steals from the big, which means you're very big.

I'm so sorry someone has done this to you. You do not deserve this to happen to all your hard work! You continuously follow ea's tou so idk why someone couldnt follow yours smh this is deeply saddening. If there is ANYTHING we can do to help you, let us know!! You have an army behind you ready to go!!

Thank you for your beautiful, brilliant work. I really hope you find a way back to this community, and until then I hope you find hope and happiness in other projects. I wish you good health and joy.

You are still one of my favorite creators <3 I am very sad to read, that people do such things - I can only imagine how that must be/feel for you. Sorry to see you leave and close this - but I think most of us can understand. Just the best for you ! <3

Thanks a lot for gave us your amazing work, I love your shoes overall. Truly thanks !!!

so sorry for this ... you were one of the first i followed here on patreon and your work is amazing, the best shoes the sims community ever had ... thanks for that and I hope you'll find a way to deal with all this shitty circumstances ♥

lov you girl, thanks for everything, and i totally understand your desicion, i hope the best for you <3

I'm sorry, Jius. We'll miss you! Thank you for all the work you've done, you're still someone I put at the top of my list of great cc creators. It's a shame that others want to steal and make profit off of your hard work. Please take care of yourself and I hope things get better for you <3

Sorry to see you leave. I saw many of your emails with your beautiful shoes but never downloaded them as I was so overwhelmed with how broken my game was, still this way to be honest. I have downloaded all of your content in case I get back into playing again and I didn't want to see you leave before giving something as a token of appreciation for your work. All the best for everything you have ahead of you :)

i just stayed up all night to redownload all your stuff! i'm sorry to hear that you are leaving, but i understand why. i hope one day you'll be ready to return, but until then- take care of yourself! and thank you for all the amazing content you've given our community! <3

I'm so sorry that this is happening. Your content is amazing. People have no honour any more, nowadays. It's so dishonest.

I hope it will be extended more than 3 days... Really sad! Get those thieves!

Sorry people are the worst! We will always love you and support your true work! Wishing you all the best <3

not a usual commenter but i'm so sorry as an avid fan of your work, take care !

This is just my opinion but you can probably contact the websites hosting your stolen content to report that its being stolen. All the patreon and TSR posts are dated so you can prove that you posted the content first and that the other posters are the ones who stole the content. I am not a creator so I don't know for sure, but there are probably groups you can go to who will help. I know that people will share on places like reddit which creators to avoid because their work is crappy or stolen. It won't get the other content down but it might help people avoid the creators who are stealing. Of course, its your patreon page and its your content so you do whatever you think is right.

Sorry this happened to you

Thanks for all the amazing content! It's a shame that ppl are so inconsiderate to creators, and all for a quick, meaningless buck. Best to you and yours! <3!!!!

When I first started downloading custom content for this game. I came across your work and became a huge fan. I'm sorry that the community is treating you this way. You've always released your cc to everyone. I don't understand why people feel the need to act this way towards creators. I hope you have a good rest of your journey and hope to see your work again. Thank you for your hard work, and know you'll have a big community behind you if you ever decide to return to this.

Jius your work is so amazing, I’m so sorry this is happening to you ☹️ I understand where this decision is coming from, I’m just scared that this will make it easier for other to pass of your work as theirs since the official download page would be gone. Sure it can still be traced, nothings ever 100% deleted from the internet, but it’ll just make it harder to confirm whose work is whose. I ask to reconsider only because your work is so loved by everyone; I would hate to see other people claim it as theirs.

Really sorry to hear about what's been going on. Thank you for all you gave to the community.

I’m really sorry you’re going through this. No creator deserves to have their work stolen. Your art has touched so many of us, not just for its beauty but for the heart behind it—and that can never be taken. I completely understand your decision to step back. Please take all the time you need. Whenever you choose to return, you’ll have people here who truly appreciate you. Thank you for everything you’ve shared with us.

That is so annoying and really hard, I'm so sorry you have to go through this. Your CC is the best out there and I'm so happy I was able to enjoy it. I also hope not to be disrespectful, but I'm asking of you to please reconsider your decision. I hope I'm not overstepping my boundaries, but please don't take your Patreon down. I can't even begin to imagine how hard it is to have your content that you worked so hard on to be stolen, and I can't say I understand it at all. However, taking your Patreon down will a) most probably not help with the theft, as more people with nothing better to do and no morals whatsoever may claim your awesome content as their own, and b) Your CC is so awesome, it would be so sad if other players wouldn't be able to enjoy it if they can't download it now. Maybe they're away for the Thanksgiving weekend and when they come back, their favorite CC will be gone, maybe their computer broke and they're getting it fixed, I don't know. But what I do know is that you are an amazing individual and CC creator, and you will be sorely missed. I hope you are able to reclaim your love of creating and be OK after all of this. You are amazing and loved. 💗

closing the page will just make the theft worse btw, as people won't have the official place to come find it. resellers and scammers will be able to thrive as this official download location will be gone. i understand what you're trying to do but don't think this is the solution you're after tbh

I'm so sorry to hear that people are stealing your hard work and I most definitely have downloaded stuff that I now know is yours and have come on here to rightly get your stuff and replace it. I thank you for everything you've done and I hope that your next steps are as wonderful as your content.

thank you so much for your hard work sweetheart ♡︎

Thank you for all of your beautiful work, sad to see you go but wish you the best <3!

Guys, I already found the back up on Google Drive

From a creative aspect, seeing your hardwork enriching others is pretty gruesome to see. Disheartening doesnt even begn to describe the sensation. That said, I respect whatever decision you decide to take. There is also no shame in changing your mind at any time. Your content lives and breathes by your consent. But we must also contend with the fact that once we release our work into the world, it really no longer belongs to us in a very philosophical sense. Its a difficult, yet necessary pill to swallow. Regardless, thank you for making several of my fave shoes. (Vive le Slingback Mary Jane Heels 01!) I still regard you as the best shoe creator for sims 4. I hope circumstances permit you to reconsider someday. Its been a rough year without new Jius shoes. ;)

I'm so sorry this happened to you! You're my favorite shoe cc creator, and I'm sad to see you go, but it's totally understandable. Thank you for all of your years of hard work and beautiful creations. Take care!

That is terrible, I'm so sorry.

Oh no, I'm so sorry that people have done this to you. I will miss having access, but you need to protect your design's.

I'm so sorry that it has had to come to this sort of thing, but I know that there are many that have gone through this as well and while I may not be a content creator and have no idea what this is like, I do hope that you will one day be able to return. I just want you to know that there are people who support you and I look forward to when you return and what new creations you will bring. Thank you for bringing such brilliant designs and creations to a game I love. Thank you for sharing your creativity with the world.

💙💙💙💙💙

I’m so sorry that it’s always someone that ruins it for everyone , whatever you do the people that actually care have you’re back so whatever you decide I hope it’s what make you happy and that’s all that matters . But I hope that one person tho doesn’t steal something that you are so talented at and so passionate it bout to ruin it for you especially if that’s what you truly want either way I hope you make the best decision for you and you’re creations will never be forgotten.

I'm truly sorry. You're so talented😭💔

Thank you for everything, I love all your work.

Thank you for everything.

noooo please don't do that i beg of you 😭please. it would be better if we report them or helped you with something else if that would make you stay in the community.

please let us know their name so we could report their page and let others know to be careful with them!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Stuff like this pisses me off because there's literally no need. Whoever is doing this, can they be named a shamed so I know who to absolutely avoid? It's bad enough to violate the TOU already outlined by a creator but I'm sure they're trying to make money off of Jius' creations, which is just GROSS. I'm sorry Jius that this happening and even more disgusted on your behalf that you're having to come back for THIS. I hope the love and support from genuine supporters helps lighten this load. We love and appreciate you whether you're actively creating content or not 💕 Hope you're at peace and healthy

I was thinking about you this week, how I miss your creations and wanted to see a post announcing your return...and we got the exact opposite :( I am truly sorry for this.

I'm so, so sorry to hear about this situation. People always have to ruin good things done by kind people. I've only just found out about you from someone on Twitter making others aware of you leaving, but I have gone and downloaded every single thing (besides I believe 2 clothing items) and am so, so looking forward to using them. They look absolutely incredible, you are so talented. Wishing you nothing but good things for the future! Thank you. <3

I'm so sorry someone's stealing your content. That's really reflective of the kind of person they are. If you ever decide to make a return to creating I'll be delighted but it's totally understandable if you don't feel joy from creating anymore and that's what's most important in the end. Please take care of yourself and I hope you have a pleasant holiday season :)

Gosh, I’m really sorry you’re going through this. I’ve only recently started thinking about playing TS4 again after several years away, and I’ve been putting together a list of CC I’d love to use in the future—especially several of your shoes and socks. I’ll be sure to download them now so I don’t miss the opportunity. Mostly, I just wanted to reach out and say how much it hurts my heart that your creations were treated this way. No one should have to deal with someone stealing their art, and I completely understand your decision. Please take care of yourself through all of this, and I hope you’re still able to enjoy the upcoming holiday season. Let your inner child out to play.

So sorry that someone is stealing your content. I love your cc and appreciate all the hard work you put into creating it. Hope you will be back soon. Take care of yourself :)

Nearly all of my sims wear your shoes...thank you for all that you've done for us. I hope you are able to return, but fully support your decision. Do take good care and know we love your work!!

There will always be people "stealing" content but I understand you have to do what you think is best. Whatever you choose, make it be what YOU want and not in reaction to others. I do hope you return at some point and I only say that because you've just expressed a desire to do so. Your creations are a staple in my game. Be well!

Do what you need to do queen. You and your work deserve respect. Good luck and peace to you <3

i jus found you nooo :( :( :( :(

name and shame these people who are doing this! I'm so sorry this is happening to you... forever loved and adored in this community x

I’m so sorry you’re going through this. You’re one of my favorite CC content creators, and I really hope you’re able to come back soon.

Please can you name the people selling your cc so we can spread the word? Disgusting they’re doing this to you! So sorry :(

I love you're CCs. I'm sorry this is happening to you... hope you don't mind me sharing your creation with a friend of mines.

Your shoes are the best, and I used them constantly for my Sims. It's a shame someone is a coward stealing your content.

Your content made my game a whole new experience. I'm a graphic designer, and I truly admire the hard work and iterations that go into every creation. I look forward to seeing your new content soon. Your move is perfectly understandable. There's no need to feel guilty about protecting your work when you can't rely on the system or trust people's decency.

Your cc is one of my most favorites out there! I hope you take great care of yourself and hope to see your content (from you) soon! Is there any way we can be aware of your return? I'd hate to miss it and would love to support you again as soon as you get back ;-;

oh no I am so sorry about that I hate when people ruin it for other or share others people work it is against TOU

Thats so fucking stupid Im so sorry. Thanks for the amazing work youve done! I will go back and download your whole catalogue. Everything you make made my game that much better.

People are so WEIRD. I hate how a community that you would think would bring peace comes with toxic players! I'm so sorry to hear this. I hope you return in a better head space & your work doesn't get taken advantage of any longer ❤️

this is a sad reality to live in and it's truly horrible for someone to steal and sell free cc from a retired sims 4 cc creator. and it's a shame because of it you will close your page but do what's right for you and your mental health. your shoes are the only cc i download over and over again cause they are that good!.

Sad that this is happening. I love your content! Your shoes have been basically the only ones my sims have worn for years, since I first found your CC. A neccessity in my game for sure. wish you all the best in your future endeavors!

So sad to see this happen. I love your content so so much. I truly hope you find all success in the world

Best shoe maker in the game! Wish you well and hope to see you return in the future! All the best! :-)

So sad to see your patreon go. Thank you for sharing your creations - I use them so much in game and always recommend them to other simmers. I hate that people are stealing your amazing CC to sell it 😞

I'm sorry you have to deal with this situation. To put your hard work and hours of time into, only to have someone else claim it as their own, is horrible. I've added a bunch of your stuff to my game (lots of shoes!) because I see the quality and detail. I'll definitely miss your work, but I understand the need to protect your sanity and self esteem when infringed like this. Please do whatever you can to get to a better place mentally, and I hope you find it and all the success in anything else you put your mind to. Take care, and know you have lots of fans and supporters out here.

Oh no, damn!! I’m so sorry to hear that! 💔 Your content is so beautiful! I always use them. They should shut down those bastards who steal your creations, not you 😞 I’m sending you a big hug and wishing you all the best and I really hope you’ll come back to share your creations with us one day! ❤️❤️❤️

i use your cc on nearly every sim i make; it breaks my heart to hear that people are stealing your creations that no doubt took lots of time to make. i hope you’re able to get to the bottom of it 😞 wishing you all the best, jius — we all miss you and hope you’re doing well 🫶🏼

Im SO very sorry people are being so disrespectful to your work. You are a phenomenal artist and I don't blame you for leaving OR for taking your work with you. The community has gotten super toxic. YOU MATTER FIRST. 🎀✨️💗

It’s abhorrent that people really think it’s cool to steal others content and I hate that it’s happening to you. I love your content and downloaded every piece. I hope you do return one day and I second you should go the route of using sims resource to upload your content. Anyways just want to say thank you for the beautiful and amazing content you gave us. 🩷

You are such a long time friend and talent that I respect so much. I under your plight although it definitely makes me sad, for the fact that this theft is happening but also because I will no longer see your icon on the left side. I miss you so much on the good side of this community but I know your peace is the most important. I wish for you peace, love, health and happiness!!! Miss you friend!!

I’m so sorry! I hope you can get to the bottom of it soon

Oh my gosh! This is sad to hear! Also we all miss you so much!

Those damn people, if we need to report anyone please let us know so we have it in mind ❤️

I’m so sorry that you have to experience this but I totally understand. Wishing you the best in the meantime!

Oh no. I’m so sorry

I miss your content so much and it's so sad that you can't upload it because of people that don't respect you. I hope you come back soon

Thank you for sharing your content I appreciate you and your work so much. It had made my game a happier and more enjoyable game to play and I want you to know. I hope there is some way that your work can be shared without being stolen tho I have no idea how that would be done. Perhaps sims resource? Anyway I hope you’re well. Thank you Jius

This is so messed up :( I’m so sorry
