Terms Of Use

General Use:

By downloading my content, you are agreeing to my TOU. So please read carefully. Don't be that person.

Do not reupload my content, directly link, put through adfly, or claim as your own

You wouldn’t have the content in the first place if I didn’t create it, so have some decency and just don’t even think about it. This goes doubly for those of you out there that link creator's content through adfly, upload your mods folder, or do both. I want to slap you people.

You are free to recolour

S4S does this automatically now, just choose object recolour and the program will do the rest for you. Be sure to credit and link to the original when you share with the community

credit and link to the original if you plan on sharing. No need to ask, as long as you have these in your post, you are fine.

My content is free, so any recolours need to be too

that means no adfly or equivalent, uploading to a subscription site, patreon exclusive or early access

Modifying my creations

I prefer you don't, if you have a suggestion feel free to message me with it, i will hear you out (but not guaranteed to to agree). You are free to modify the mesh for personal use if you want.

Conversions to other sims games

Although I prefer conversions be done for personal use, I can't or wont stop them from being released. I put my heart and soul into every peice I make, so I do ask that converters do more then the bare minimum it takes to port them between games (fix normals and seams, shadow groups etc). Bad conversions makes Peacy sad T_T

don’t use my content as a base for your own creations

If you can extract meshes, poses etc, and modify them, then you have the skills to make your own.

Including my content with your creations

I would prefer content to be linked then included to make sure outdated items are not spread around. However, if you are hosting the file yourself, it's not put through adfly or similar, not a patreon exclusive/early access, and not uploaded to sites like TSR/MTS/SimsWorkshop/Blacky Sims Zoo/SimsDomination etc, then the content can be included.

credit me as the creator and link to the items, or a general link so the downloader knows where it comes from. If you are uploading to a fansite or want to include a house as a patreon exclusive, you must link the files only.


So, there is no logical reason for you to claim my work as your own, and abuse my kind-heartedness. As long as you are courteous and follow the TOU, I won’t have to track you down and show you the error of your ways. Because I hate doing that.

  1. Hello! I've read your TOU but there's nothing on conversions so I've decided to ask you about that. Is it fine to convert your content to sims 2 (walls and floors to be exact), credit you and link to original creation in the conversion's post?

    ReplyDelete

    1. I will have to update my TOU to reflect those questions. I keep forgetting about it. Walls and floors are fine to convert as long as you give credit and a link to the original creation. Anything else people want to convert, they have to consult me first.

    2. I know this may sound silly, but I have only played the sims 3 and 4 for about 2 years when I get the time from my busy schedule working and my 3 kids. Do you mean if we download your content that we can't change the colors or patterns for our own personal use. I know you don't want us to take something you created and post it as if we made it as our own. because that's just a form of stealing in my opinions. I also was wondering what you mean by giving you credit. If we aren't trying to take credit for your master pieces then why would anyone need to credit you. Unless you are saying that if we use your creation and change a pattern or texture and upload it we uploaded it with you as the creator. Sorry for the silly questions, but I want to make sure I understand so I don't accidently post something someone made. I know I have played for 2 years but I haven't gotten this far in-depth with playing and creating until now. Thanks for sharing your talent with us!

    3. Hi crystal! So you have a few questions in there so will handle them separately.
      If you download my content and want to modify if for personal use, go crazy. I am not going to dictate that at all. Everyone has different tastes.
      The minute you want to share that creation with the community, I ask that in the post a credit is given to me as the original creator and a link to the original is given. I also ask that if you do release any recolours that they require my original content for them to work ingame.

      I am a big endorser or giving credit where it is due. It is common place in this community where people go "I made this and here is a download" without thought given to the people that created the content that may be inside. So I always ask that people give credit if my content is used in uploads. Pictures and stories are fine not too, since its hard to keep track of cc in a picture sometimes. I generally mention this point a lot since it is the one point often forgotten.
      Hopefully that helps you out :)

  2. Hi. I was wondering if I could add stencils to your toddler onesies for personal use only. I would NOT upload them. I post pictures on instagram so I would post pictures of my toddlers wearing them if that's okay with you.

    ReplyDelete
  3. Hello,

    I was wondering if it was possible to add "stencils" (not sure if it's the right term) on the Short and Long Unisex Onesies. Since I want few of them to be recolorable I will have to change the RGBA mask but unlike the person above, I would love to propose them for downloads but because of this I'm not sure whether I can or not so I prefer to ask you. Of course I will properly credits you with the links to the originals. I hope what I say it's clear since my English is not the best.

    1. Editing the mask would fall under section 4, so as long as you credit me in the post and link to the original that is fine :)

  4. Hi. I really like a couple of sets you have up for 4, but alas I do not have that game. I was wondering if your Nox dining and Atwood living set were conversions you did from 2 or 3 or original meshes -- I could swear I have similar items of some of your goodies. If so, can you direct me to the originals, or if you made all the original meshes for both those sets, may I convert them to sims 2? Someone actually did a request for the Atwood Living set and I checked your tou after browsing and I see you like to be asked, so this is me asking. Please? And thanks for steering me in the right direction if you know where I can find any of your items already made for sims 2 or 3.

    1. All my sets are made by me with some mashups using parts of EA meshes, I don't do conversions and prefer to create original content. However, I do use google for a source of inspiration, so it wouldn't surprise me if something has been made prior to me doing so. The simming community is large and does span many years.
      As for conversions, you are free to convert the sets for personal use only as I stated above. However, I don't want these conversions shared publicly. I have a few reasons for this, but I ask it be respected. Any other content I don't have a problem with being shared, but object sets i have created are just not one of them.

  5. Okay, thanks. I've got a couple other things to finish off and then I'm going to stat on them. I'm pokey. But I'll take some in-game shots and send you a link so you can see them in my game.

  7. Hej Peacemaker, Sorry to bother you, I feel like a bit of a tattle tell writing this but I know how hard you work on your designs http://infinnlily.tumblr.com/ uploaded a house called Urban Rustic, although they give you credit on their page, they have included 11 of your creations in a very big mods folder for download.

    1. I do actually allow content to be uploaded with a home assuming credit is given and it is not to a large site like TSR or MTS. I do prefer linking of content, but allow both ways. So this is within my TOU simply because i don't have the time to chase down everything that does this. I do thank you for bringing it to my attention, but its really not out of line for me. if you are more concerned about it, maybe contact one of the other people with content included that don't allow items to be included in uploads.

      Delete
  8. Ok, so I see where you have said you dont want your items included in mods folders, would it be ok if its included in houses? I think I have already used some in my past builds and not credited, but im basically restarting and doing empty homes so I can credit creators of cc... usually I honestly wouldn't do that because i usually completely skip TOUs on cc creators because im like "ehh, not claiming it as mine so whatever", but because your so nice I figured I'd ask! And also, what do you work as to where you have to leave for 2 weeks? My dad works on an oil rig and he leaves two weeks and then comes back.

    1. Hi! I covered that in the second last part (just before mod folders are covered) so hopefully that answers your question. Basically, you can as long as you are hosting yourself and not on a sims fansite with credit to what you are using.
      As for the job, I am currently working at a minesite processing ore. Its quite a common work arrangement here in Australia.

  9. So most of your content is showing up as "Script error" does this have anything to do with the mesh or is it my game? thanks! xx

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. If you have not recently downloaded my content, then that would explain why you are getting script errors. The C+D patch along with the 121217 patch all introduced changes to the game files which led to issues. They have all been fixed so you can either redownload the files, or pick up the latest version of sims4studio and run their batch fix.

  10. I've just made my first foray into doing a recolour. Its a recolour of your Luxurious bedding. I wouldnt want to put it out there for general download unless i felt the quality of it met with your own high standards. Is there anyway you would look at it for me and give me your honest opinion. I dont have a tumblir page

  11. I have two questions.
    When you say that conversions of your objects are not be shared publicly - if I were to convert an object you created, can I share them privately if someone asks for the object conversion or not?
    The other question is, if I were to convert an object you created, can I take pictures of the object in a "decoration" or "playing" setting (not a "preview") and share them on my blog? I clarify that I'm referring to sharing the pictures, not to the object - or would it be best if I simply not take pictures of the object conversion?
    Thank you. Sorry if it was all worded a bit confusing!

    1. The whole idea of that part of my ToU is to stop people using my CC as a stepping stone to popularity. I saw it all the time at the start of TS4 and it resulted in a lack of quality and rushed conversions for the sake of remaining relevant. I don't want my CC caught up in that. I spent too long making and perfecting the objects for them to be used in such a nefarious way. It may sound corny, but i do put a peice of myself into every set so it does affect me when people pull stunts like that.
      So as for your question: I would prefer you to keep the conversions for yourself but in the end I can't stop you from sharing things privately. You are going to have to use you own judgement for that.
      As for pictures, that is perfectly fine; you personally converted them to use in your game , you put in the effort. You are just going to have to be ready for people asking.

    1. Sounds like you have have both the new and old versions ingame. You need to delete all the files then download again and it should be fixed. The new version does fully replace the old versions used on houses, so no issue there.

      I do ask in the future if you could ask on the post relating to the cc you are having issues with, as any questions may help people in the future as well 👍

  16. Hi PC, I just upgraded to TS4 after Win 10 finally shanked my TS2 game. I'm still trying to understand how the gallery works, but I assume that "hosting yourself" includes the gallery and that I can share houses there with content so long as I include info and links back to your blog. I also is it safe to assume you make updates to the original blog post and downloads rather than posting new updates? Or do you prefer that we just link them to the top of your blog and give them the set name?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Hi! The gallery is fine, but just be aware that unlike previous versions of the game, the TS4 gallery doesn't bundle up cc so linking is necessary.
      I also update files as much as I can, but occasionally sets need to be remade completely, and they are posted separately, but I try to avoid that. So directly linking to the blog post would work fine.

  17. Hello! First and foremost, I'm a HUGE fan of your work! I have a question, though. More like a concern. So, in cleaning up my CC folder (I have a LOT, I'm ashamed to say), I as running a conflict/duplicaate check in Sims 4 Tray Importer, and it shows that there are conflicts with pieces from your Lennox Kitchen and from your Shaker Kitchen. But I don't know the first thing about what effect these conflicts have on my game or how to fix them.

    This is what I see: https://i.imgur.com/cJDCzL1.png

  18. Hi, I had a quick question and I'm sorry to bother you as I know how busy creators can get. I have MOST of your build items, and I was wondering as I mainly build houses and share them on Origin Gallery. . .if it was alright to include your build mode items (walls, floors, doors, etc.) with my houses that are only going there. I'd add a credit of where I got it of course, because you do PHENOMENAL work and everyone should know it! Thanks.

  20. Hi there, I noticed a creator on Patreon reuploading quite a few pieces of your Roarsome Kids set as part of a room download. There is no credit given or a link to your page - also, the content appears to have been behind a paywall. Here is the link: https://www.patreon.com/posts/ps-green-dreams-50893450

  21. Hello. I couldn't really extrapolate an answer for this from your TOU, so I wanted to make sure. I am working on a free webcomic and I would like to use your furniture/décor (excluding add-ons) as set dressing. This might involve me converting your mesh to a format that can be used in Unreal Engine, ultimately to be rendered in a static image. All other elements (characters, architecture, environment) of the comic will be my artwork or Unreal assets. Your credit would read as: Unless noted otherwise, furniture and décor are courtesy of peacemaker_ic (link to blog). All rights reserved. (tweak to your satisfaction) Is this something you would consider allowing? Additional conditions for use are welcome.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Not a problem, best to ask then wonder I believe, and this is definitely not covered above. As long as those converted assets aren't redistributed for others to use, I have no issues with your project. Good luck with your webcomic :)

      Delete
    2. Thanx so much for allowing this! I promise not share/distribute the assets, converted or otherwise. I don't recall you ever mentioning whether you were into comics or not, but once I get things going, I'll share some stills with you and when I start uploading, I'll send you a link. Thanx, again!
