Tell Runey about it and let him decide if it's worth it to him to pursue legal action. That's all you can do - the avenue to resolve this kind of thing is with a cease-and-desist letter and if that doesn't work a lawsuit, and Runey is the party who would have to do either. You aren't gonna get the cops to put a stop to it or anything like that.Alright guys, i have a serious question this time and i don't really know how to go about it. So i am just gonna post it here.
Here goes:
If someone else uses created characters or at least names and looks of created characters of this game, but made in another engine like the game engine for the sims and then ask money for it, what would be the right way to deal with something like that?
I guess the main reason i asked here for help is because i don't really know how to reach Runey, and thought someone here might know how to do so.Tell Runey about it and let him decide if it's worth it to him to pursue legal action.

edit: now that I see exactly what you're talking about, you MIGHT be able to report them to Patreon as well, but there again I don't know if they'd actually act on it coming from someone other than the copyright holder.
Yeah that's pretty much in line with what I was expecting.Alright, let's see i fthis works.

Personally I don't see a problem with it, it's like the Sims equivalent of sharing cards and mods for HS/Koikatsu (and there are people who charge for those too).
Also I found this other mod there, and the description amused me:

That has been there since 2021 or earlier. It is un-likely anything can/will be done.Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't Illusion send the ninjas if you try to make any for-profit stuff using their engines, or try to copyright it? And if I understand my copyright law, wouldn't that mean any derivatives of content made in their software are free game unless you also try to for-profit them?
Which would translate to, while not only being a shitty move, the Sims stuff that guy has behind a paywall being a big legal no-no?
Ah yes, snitching, very cool, and not at all super lameI guess you have those kind of people right.
I have sent a message to his discord so if he sees it he can decide what to do with it.
Well, Illusion closed their doors last year, so there's that.Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't Illusion send the ninjas if you try to make any for-profit stuff using their engines, or try to copyright it?

Ahh your one of those types huh, so if you have been working on a game for 6 years and someone was making money of characters and names that you created then you would not mind either right? Or are you one of those types that actually would do something like that? Well everyone is entitled to their own opinion so please do yourself, me and everyone else here a pleasure and shove yours in your place where the sun does not shine alright.Ah yes, snitching, very cool, and not at all super lame
Man.. this is pirating forum... what are you on about...Ahh your one of those types huh, so if you have been working on a game for 6 years and someone was making money of characters and names that you created then you would not mind either right?

Sorry, just channeling my inner Galmar for a bit. Really like that guy. Besides, there is still a difference between getting a game for free and using assets from other people's work to make money off it.Man.. this is pirating forum... what are you on about...
Just saw him working on things earlier tonight, helped him with an asset.I am sure he's still working on the game.
Well, that just makes it even worse right? I mean there is something like copyright and then there is making it insulting by making a crappy job out of it.While I don't think that what they are doing is right, I have to say that some of those images suck.
Probably early creations, like the Lin and Kali ones.
The level of blush or makeup, just destroys the looks.
Uh, do you know what an "asset" is? Those are Sims mods, if you wanted to use the HH models, you'd have to put them through a couple of stages of process to make them work in the Sims (I guess you could then fight about 'derivative work', but w/e). There's basically a 0% chance that those things are anything other than characters modeled after HH characters.Sorry, just channeling my inner Galmar for a bit. Really like that guy.

Thank christWell, Illusion closed their doors last year, so there's that.
