Filled with anger and sadness.

Creators whose poses blender data is being stolen by others are now speaking out.

Yes, I am one of them.

I have seen distributed poses that resemble my own for a long time, but I have nothing to say about the composition being similar or being imitated.

If you are copying me, I don't mind, as long as you have created the work yourself from start to finish.

However, I do not condone the use of Sims4 Studio or other software to extract my blender files, edit them, and redistribute them for a fee.

All my poses are free. There is no early access.

I don't believe that anyone should be able to use them to receive financial gain.

I don't think it should be possible to not only steal them and modify them, but even distribute them early access and receive financial benefits.

I make poses in my spare time while raising two children and doing housework.

But because I am clumsy, it takes an enormous amount of time to make one pose pack. It makes me feel very empty to have the data of my time-consuming work like that extracted and altered in an instant.

I started making poses for my own enjoyment, but this seems to make me lose the desire to create something new.

Even if I do, I am worried that the data will be easily extracted again.

I have seen many creators quit creating poses in this way.

I don't think the people who use the poses are able to determine whether or not the pose pack they are trying to download has been stolen from someone else. However, if you are one of the creators around here who are saying that someone has stolen from them, I would like you to listen a little bit.

Of course, we don't force you to do so, and You are free to choose whose pose you want to use.

The photo below compares the pose I created with the pose of the creator who I believe is plagiarizing.

The one on the right is mine.

To begin with, this male/female model was rigged by me for each part of the body, including height, and cannot be an exact match to someone else's. This strange match is evidence that the supposedly plagiarized creator has extracted my files. I think it is obvious if you overlap them.

She have turned around. I think this is a small trick so that it is not obvious at first glance.

And as for the poses of the toddler, you see.

And these are just a few. We have found many more. And I know I'm not the only one, many of the pose creators I admire have had their work plagiarized.

I hope everyone reading this will give it some thought.

Do not steal our poses.

Do not alter them.

Do not distribute as your own.

And I hope the Sims community will not be sad for anyone.

I am sorry to talk about this.

Thank you for listening.
