Especially those who create over-stuffed Lots and those who download over-stuffed Lots from the Gallery. Using multiple objects to create one object or a desired aesthetic, often using Mods to enable this, causes problems.

Don’t waste your time, don’t waste our time, don’t waste EA’s time. And don’t lie about it.
