Early Access Awareness

Early Access Creators - YOU CANNOT SIT THE FENCE THIS TIME. :|

Look, I love y'all. I know you don't want to participate in so-called "drama" because you think it's messy and shit. I get that, I do. But here's the deal. Cowbuild and her cronies are making the whole patreon method of dealing with the sims look bad, and that affects YOU guys too.

Because of these bad apples, there are some people questioning if patreon is safe. Especially because Anto is involved, and he USED TO BE EARLY ACCESS.

You guys need to join in on calling this out and saying "No. This is not okay. We do not accept it, and we do not want this to be part of our community." I and others have tried to explain that these bad apples don't spoil the whole bunch, but when y'all choose to be silent on the issue, you don't help your case. So now is the time to speak up. You don't have to make your own post even. Just REBLOGGING what's already been shared is enough.

How you can "help"...

I've had lots of people ask how they can help with this whole cowbuild nonsense and so I'm going to try to give y'all some actionable steps that might help. 1) Report to patreon. Here's an article on how to do that: https://support.patreon.com/hc/en-us/articles/204914235-Report-content-that-violates-community-guidelines You can also message Patreon Support directly on Twitter. (@patreonsupport) 2) Tweet at the EA, The Sims, The Sims Gurus, and any brands/businesses that these creators have been name dropping and/or stealing models from. In the case of Cowbuild the main brands we have found she's been stealing from have been Covethouse (which knows and is contacting their lawyers), Queebo, Minotti, Ralph Lauren, and Frato. If you can't find them on twitter or social media, they do have contact forms. Let them know that their rights are being infringed. Bergdorf has been using lots of fashion houses such as Versace and others. Not to mention Bergdorf's own name is a play on Bergdorf Goodman.

Here's an example of how you might tweet something to a brand... 3) Reblog, Reblog, Reblog, and SHARE! Reblog all of the important informational posts from @simbelene and @littleblackbooksims, and share them in whatever spaces you share with other simmers. Retweet them, post them to instagram and other social medias, share in simmer discords and facebook groups. The more people we can let know about this, the more we can help find victims and keep people safe. 4) Speak with your wallet! If you are a patron of any of these creators, let them know that you don't want your info shared by ending your pledge. And in the comments on why you stopped pledging, let them know why.

5) Do some investigating of your own! I'm sure that what @littleblackbooksims found was just the tip of the iceberg. Look into what Cowbuild and company are putting out, and see if perhaps any of those items are offered as 3D models elsewhere. As a reminder: KNOWN MEMBERS: Cowbuild, Hermajestybuilds, Bergdorfverse, Busra-tr, and Anto SUSPECTED MEMBERS: Leosims, Pixelvibes, Sims4Luxury, Rubyred Feel free to share what you find with me or the folks at LBB.
