Why is the Sims community boycotting Curseforge?
I've seen a lot of posts going around calling on Simmers to stop using Curseforge, a modding platform that enables creators to monetize their downloads, with plenty of outrage directed toward modders and CC-makers who are still on the platform. But I've also seen a lot of people who are confused about why there are calls for a boycott.
Curseforge is owned by Overwolf, a company that is donating money to the IDF in support of its ongoing genocide against the Palestinian people.
In late October/early November, Overwolf posted a graphic on their social media asking followers to "defend our defenders" by contributing financially to a fundraising drive for the IDF. They were met with backlash and quickly took the graphic down, replacing it with one that used language about raising money for "those affected by the violence in Gaza" (my phrasing may be inexact) but the money is still going to the IDF and not to any agency actually supporting civilians or doing humanitarian work.
You can see the original graphic on this change.org petition, which provides some additional context.
If you are using Curseforge in any way -- by hosting your content there or downloading from it -- you are giving money to a company that is raising funds for an ongoing military campaign against a civilian population.
This is why people are calling for a boycott. If you are a modder or CC maker for the Sims, you should remove all of your content from the website and redirect people to other DL sources. If you are a consumer of mods and CC, you should stop clicking curseforge links and send (polite!) messages to modders and CC makers to urge them to pull their content from the site.
ETA: Here's another link with more images of the original Overwolf Tweet!

this is not really an ask to do a callout but more as something i’ve noticed. since when it’s acceptable for cc creators to block content behind a paywall for a whole month? and sometimes it’s even more than that. i’ve seen the own sims 4 community say it should be max like 2 weeks and yes i know people gotta pay their bills, but some of this is riduculous. some examples of this are obscurus and northen siberia sims.
Yes we've seen this for a long time now. And many people have decided now that 3 weeks is now the accepted time frame for early access. Which is still pretty long in our opinion.

Not so friendly reminder that curseforge is directly supporting the genocide in Palestine and we urge cc creators and modders to stop using the site immediately. Thank you.
We might make a directory of creators that still use it and other ways to get their content.

Hello! This is an important message for anyone who reblogs Sims stuff. There is a post going around from 2018 with the title at the top "Sims 4 Extracted Icons Master Post". This post contains a link to the original Luniversims site, which has been taken over by hackers. This can be read about on Luniversims official Twitter, it is the pinned post at the top. It seems that Tumblr has blacklisted their old site, but they haven't removed the post or reblogs of the post. Now, accounts are being terminated for sharing it. The original post was by the account mystickylightcolor.
I urge people to share this information and delete this if you have reblogged it in the past, people who may reblog it from you will have their blog terminated.
Thanks for the heads up!

With how easily they fell to the dark side, do you think it's possible Sixam, Max20 and Simplistic were also part of that doxxing ring from some time ago?
If so, I wouldn't be surprised.
Can't say for sure but it's possible.

@fleshbysaleen is paywalling recolors of EA/Maxis ingame content!
I hope people are not paying a 3 dollar tier to get a recolor of a playpen from GT!
thanks for letting us know! yes we agree people shouldn't be putting recolours behind paywalls especially if they dont make their own designs.

thoughts on Oshinsims locking up content for over a month?
hm greedy behaviour but not surprising when you see who she collabed with. It's unfortunate because I personally used to love her videos but she has had some shady behaviour in the past other than this recent thing.

happy to chat publicly and openly if you would like. you seem to have a problem with me and your post is also an example of bullying whether you like it or not. lets talk about anything you would like and make it public. balls in your court. im here and ready.
...Are you referring to my brief post from over a month ago about how you've quietly returned to posting on your patreon without acknowledging your awful behavior and subsequent doubling down in December? If so, I'm honestly not sure why you're coming to me in particular, since your terrible non-apology and arguing in the replies after was received negatively by pretty much everyone here. Pointing out how bad it was is not bullying (as you were told by the many people you argued with that day) but your insistence that it is tells me that you still haven't changed. I'm also not Jewish, which is the community you upset the most with your actions and why I only boosted their voices rather than going into the replies myself back then, so it's even stranger you sent me of all people this ask. Did no one else respond to you, do you not take them seriously, or is it just some personal grudge?
In any case, I think you would do better making a statement on your own blog taking responsibility for your inability to take criticism and how you're going to take action to grow as a person without blaming others, rather than spending time messaging people you still feel slighted by. From what I saw in the comments of your post, you like to argue no matter what others tell you, and I've no intention of spending time arguing back and forth when many others have already told you what you've done wrong. You know well what we all have a problem with at this point.
You said on one of my posts once, "I don't need to defend myself, I know my truth and you all can come to your own conclusions." People in this community, including myself, have done just that according to what we have available: your actions. If you've changed your mind and there's anything else you'd like to show the community, anything you'd feel you need to get off your chest, that's up to you. I can't help you with that or point you in the direction of repairing your reputation here. Unfortunately there are no magic words you can say to do that. I do think it would be beneficial to unhide your earnings on patreon to be more transparent about how much you're making there. It would at least make you seem more genuine, which is a quality you seem to lack in the eyes of the public at the moment. But otherwise, you'll just have to navigate this all on your own.
At this point, I'm going to defer to some of the people I saw commenting on or reblogging your post as I wasn't directly involved in that conversation. Perhaps one of them will have something they'd like you to speak publicly and openly about, so I'd like to give them the chance to ask you whatever they'd like. But if not, I'd suggest you stop reaching out to people to educate you and start putting in the effort yourself.

THIS POST IS MADE FOR @bergdorfverse !!
back in 2020 when I was tryna collab with this bitch and she had me do all the meshes and all she wanted to do was lackluster textures. Kept asking me to redo them over and over again like im her damn slave and when I had any ideas they were never considered. The fact that to this day my hard work wasn’t released and I stayed quiet about it is wild then she proceeds to talk shit about me on twitter like??
here are some screenshots I took during that time

the paré/bergdorf collab is one of the most disgusting displays of greed in the sims 4 community and a sign of the second life-fication of the sims 4. paré, for context, is a SL creator and bergdorf simply converts the already existing content for a cut of the check. I get SL content costs money and they're cool with that over there but we should not normalize it over here. not only do they expect people to pay $5 for only ONE MONTH OF CONTENT, but you would have to pay $25 to have access to everything and $10 to only get 3 months' worth. It's ludicrous. I wouldn't even spend $25 on a tshirt. At the very least people who actually play the game should be making this much cash off the community if at all.
That whole crew has been trying to bring that mentality over TS4 for awhile now. The thing is historically The Sims has never been like this although it’s slowly started to morph into that over the years. Some communities will tolerate it, others won’t. Bethesda’s is openly hostile to pay per mod for example. SL exclusively operates that way. BIt’s about not trying to force your expectations on the norms of a community. The sims tried to have a middle ground. We were wrong to accept a lot of the patreon nonsense (timelines getting stretched out, tiers with little to no benefit that were overly expensive, retroactively locking content, PAYWALLS) as long as we did.

More bergdorf drama.
Really gross that she’s pressuring creators into collabing and not respecting boundaries when they say no. Then ghosting ppl when it comes time to release the collab, but are we surprised at this point?
Also confused because she says she creates original creations but here we have in dms that she admits she can’t mesh AT ALL. Hopefully the original creators are ok with her paywalling their creations and are receiving compensation even though she’s taking sole credit on her solo releases.
Let’s leave art plagiarism behind in 2022.
