hello everyone,i just received 2 asks about using a copyrighted pattern on my ‘slouch’ couch. it‘s quite embarrassing for me but i want to be as open to you about it as i can. so, first of all i will delete the swatches that use this pattern from the couch! the longer i am creating cc now the more aware i am of respecting other artists work. which should always be the case of course… when i was browsing pinterest for pattern inspirations and found this beautiful pattern and thought it would be fine to use it slightly edited. i didn‘t know at this point that it was created by a specific designer and just thought it was a pretty design that randomly floats around the internet. a few comments mentioned that they were happy to see the pattern on the couch and that’s where i should have noticed that i might have done something wrong.i know that it‘s not the best behavior to do this in the first place. because you should always try to mention your resources at least and check if the creative work by others is copyright free or not. so i am taking these asks as a reminder for me and hope that other creators can learn from this as well!to not get into any conflicts i will - as i said in the beginning - delete the swatches using the pattern. big thanks to the 2 anons mentioning this and being vocal about this in the sims community. it’s not the best feeling in the world for me but i am glad people are warning me about this!hope you all are doing fine, charly -- source link
