WITCH (Patreon)

Whew, let me tell you, I was NEVER going to bring this up, but here we are. I know my content gets pirated from time to time, and honestly, I've known for a while. It just comes with the territory, especially when you're growing in this community. It's never that deep for me. (also please be aware of where you're downloading cc from, you'd be surprised if you think those individuals don't tweak the cc, also download from the original source to be on the safe side)

Like, seriously, last December I was celebrating 5k members and now we're almost at 19k! Ayeeee! I love creating exclusive stuff for the people who genuinely support me, and let's be real, I just enjoy having unique CC. Come on, you can't tell me you don't get tired of seeing the same hairstyle on every simmer's favorite Sim, or the same CC constantly floating around? Because I sure do, lol.

But today? When I saw my recent CC got pirated, okay, whatever, cool. But here's the kicker, here's my actual issue... to see the FREE item I created to show you guys appreciation was also included with the pirated content? Now that's when I'm like, okay, now WTF, lol.

I'm diving into video media with my Sims content. I just love editing and creating videos around The Sims 4. I'm a true storyteller so I Love telling stories. I'm trying to perfect my craft and bring out new, exciting stuff, and Patreon helps fund that. I am so thankful to everyone who supports me; y'all are honestly the best.

But I wouldn't be human if I didn't feel a way after seeing that the free CC I dropped just yesterday as a thank you was immediately pirated. It made me revert back to a statement I've made before about the Sims community... some people just want to take, take, and take. Over 65 people downloaded it so far, and only a few even said thanks.

Love y'all... but it genuinely hurt to see that, damn, some of you couldn't even bother to support me by bringing awareness to my YouTube channel? That's free to sub, free to watch and like, and y'all don't even care to go to the link in the video to download, you just had to pirate it instead.

I've had it happen plenty of times across all my socials where people will constantly ask me about "this and that" without even following me or saying hello... just demanding to know where I got something or how I did something. It's giving very entitled. I'm from the era where you give respect to get respect, and whoever decided to post my free CC on that pirate site heaux in the name of Halloween? Go to hell. LOL. And this is what I mean when I say most talented people get overlooked because of reach... now those people on that pirate site probably don't know anything about my reasoning behind creating it, etc because all most wanna do is take. I'm MENTALLY IN A SPACE where I'm just going to post whatever and not think about the outcomes. Not sure when I going to do that again, because when you pirated the free thank you gift... that just blew my mind! LOL whew. People just don't care, we're at that moment in time where people just don't care and want what they want.Now that I got that out, Happy Halloween.
