It has come to my attention, and many other creators’ attention, that a website under the name SimsDom is posting external links to CC creator’s content under ad links (60 seconds), therefore, profiting off of our content without our permission. While the mods of the site plead this is not illegal, it does not excuse the fact that they are in violation of many users’ TOUs (and possibly copyright infringement as a whole), and actions such as these are incredibly upsetting and inexcusable.
Here are just a few pieces of unauthorized CC:
Notice that none of the content pictured indicates a creator name (unless specified in the original, stolen image). Only when you search for your URL specifically, your content will not be immediately shown.
And to expand upon the real issue, your CC posts are being monetized before a user visits your original post. (Even so, this isn’t always the case, either. Some posts on SimsDom link to the download itself, rather than the original post. So you may be missing out on notes or reblogs of your content. This method tends to vary) If someone were to download content on SimsDom, they’d either have to sit through a 60 second ad (while an adblocker is enabled) or become a member of the site to disable all ads, therefore speeding up the downloading/browsing process, much like TSR. (the only difference being that TSR creators/users upload the content themselves)
The price for membership ranges anywhere between ~$2 a month to ~$20 a year. All without creator permission! Not only are they taking advantage of creators, they are taking advantage of their users/members.
And to make matters worse, when a creator makes a request to have their content removed from the site, they are met with indifference and disrespect. A fellow content creator, @isjao, requested to have their content removed, this is how the conversation played out:
The message on the right can be translated to (as per Google Translate):
“Hello, isjao. Your request for site administration was passed on and we reviewed your request better. We have seen that you are a creator who really does not deserve any downloads coming from the SimsDomination. SimsDomination usually sends between 30% and 90% of the total downloads to a creator. If you want to be a creator of Tumblr, you will be. We’ve removed your creations and blocked future directions to your Tumblr and site. If we see indications of Tumblrs that have relogared their posts, as the link informed, we will remove as well. But keep in mind that you are not the only item creator in the world. It’s not we who depend on you and yes, you rely on disclosure to help you have more downloads. The indications for your items have been removed. We wish you a great week.”
And in a Tumblr post, SimsDom addressed the issue as well:
While I understand many CC creators use services such as Adfly (myself included), Patreon or receive donations through PayPal or Ko-Fi, this does not mean we shouldn’t have control over who is able to use our content for profit or forfeit the right to request it doesn’t. And when a simple request is made to have content removed, we shouldn’t be met with disrespect.
SimsDom is clearly violating our rights to our content, and they need to be held accountable. If possible, I urge you to get in contact with a site admin if you feel as though you are being treated unlawfully or disrespectfully. Be sure to notify fellow content creators if you see their content being used without their permission! And in the meantime, I, as well as others, will research a way to get this site removed.

Hi All 🙋♀️

OMG! I absolutely love all your stuff! TY! 🤩😍❤️
I am extremely excited to finally share with you what I have been working on for the past few months! This is probably the most ambitious CC Pack I have ever created, containing over 30 objects made for various rooms of the house! Interesting fact, this pack initially started as an “addon” for Moschino Stuff Pack before it evolved into a much larger project! Nevertheless, this CC Pack is completely Base Game Compatible! I hope you enjoy!
Here’s my attempt at an overview video for you guys
Decorate your house with modern furnishings, ranging from modern counter sets in the kitchen, complete with separated cooktops and ovens and simple sofas and coffee tables in the living room, to sleek furnishings in the bedroom and dining spaces.
Every object contains the same matching swatches, allowing them to be used seamlessly together, and with various other objects in the game, especially the objects in Moschino.
SFS Download (Occluder Override)
- My Patreon if you’d like to support my work (Optional) -
The Occluder Override is recommended as it prevents weird shadows from appearing on my cabinets when an appliance is placed under them. This occurs as I changed the shading properties of them in order to workaround an issue which affects ALL Cabinets in the game which cause all corner pieces to appear darker than the rest. This fix applies to all Maxis Appliances.
If you encounter any issues, please message me on Tumblr or Twitter!
Hi Guy’s, here is a functional floating island lounger. Hope, you like it. Have fun! :)

I hate it, when my gourmet sims are always disappointed with the drinks because they are "only" normal quality. So I modified the cocoa tray so that the drinks are of excellent quality.
You can download it HERE at SFS and when it is approved at curseforge too.
Hope, you'll enjoy it! 🥰
Hello All 🤗
In my opinion there are never enough bath rugs in the game. Sometimes the Sims have several bathrooms in the house. It does not always have to be the same mats in it, right? That’s why I brought some again. 🤪
The textures are not cut out of an online catalog, but made by myself, so please don’t steal them. I hope you like them. If it is desired that certain color swatches have a different colored flower, I can still make this. I just did not want to do a hundred swatches, I hope you understand that. ❤️

The rack has some added shelves, deco slots and swatches and can hold any kind of clothing. The clothes are pushed a bit closer together and added an extra shirt to make it fuller. The clothes will have the functional dresser option, the rack is more of just a display. Both items will show up in the dresser category (Somehow HD’s own modular dressers won’t show up in this category, which is kinda weird?).
Requires DLC: Home Decorator!
Is this something you would like to see more of? There are some more suitable objects like a Star Wars wired shelving unit, a Get Famous clothing rack and an artist painting storage which would be fun to convert. So let me know if that’s something you’d interested in! 🥰

Today I bring you a modern terraced housing estate with 4 flats. I made this especially for LittleMsSam's Roommates Mod and I'm filling one flat with furniture for my "main Family". Step by step the Roommates will then move in. Whenever my Sims have enough cash, because the lot is really expensive! 😁 But you can also cheat and fill the house directly. An apartment has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, a big garden and a cellar for self-development. Hope you like it. Then enjoy it ❣️ Please use the bb.moveobjects cheat before set this lot. Thank you! 😘

And last but not least for now, here is a very nice painting in 4 swatches by Gregory Gorham, named: “Fashion Pink I - IV”
The mesh is mine, feel free to recolor it but without including the mesh. Please link to this page here or to the direct DOWNLOAD link, thank you. 🧡
Okay, I’m sure a lot of you know about this already, but if you don’t here is a summary of everything that has been going on. There is a website out there called Simsdom.com that has been stealing Sims Content Creator’s work and uploading it WITHOUT the creators’ permission on their site. And to make it even worse, you have to go through ad-walls in order to view the cc on there, cc that they have plagued with adds even though it DOESN’T belong to them.
So essentially, the people behind this website are profiting from other people’s content. This is appalling, considering how much time and effort can be spent on Sims content, or content of any kind. And even if the content was quick to make, it’s still wrong because the content doesn’t belong to these scummy people. Not to mention the people behind Simsdom are ALSO committing copyright infringement and VIOLATING a whole bunch of creators’ terms of use.
To make matters even WORSE, Simsdom has been giving creators a hard time when they ask for their content to be removed from their site. They reply with arrogant comments and talk some shit. Look at @frost-rainbowcy‘s post here for example. You can also see more of the matter from @nolan-sims‘s post, found here. Creators should NOT have to ask nicely and beg and say “please” for their content to be removed. It’s the creator’s content. What the creators say goes. Here’s an example of a statement Simsdom has released as a failed attempt to cover themselves (here). This is completely false. I would also like to point out that I sent them a strongly worded message in the form of an ask, but they didn’t respond. But yet they have time to read and post things that cover themselves… interesting. They also posted a number of statements to their Tumblr trying to defend their unjust actions, but the post have since been deleted from their page… also interesting
As Simmers and as a community, we MUST come together and show Simsdom and any other person that stealing other people’s work is NOT okay, and it will definitely not be tolerated. So I encourage anyone who sees this to reblog this post in order to spread the word about this awful site, and to also warn other creators that their content might be on this horrid sight.
Make sure that your work isn’t on their website, found HERE
