I’m honestly tired of receiving messages from people reporting that La Diva/Luzmilla/Retro Divas Mod is using content and work created by me and other mod creators in her own projects. And before anyone says that this is something new or that I’m speaking without knowing what I’m talking about: I have been warning people about this person for more than a year. During all this time, I have repeatedly seen content from different creators being used, modified, repurposed, or presented in other projects without proper permission or credit. And based on what has been reported by different people, this situation apparently goes far beyond a single isolated case. There have been reports that this person runs a Discord server where content from various WWE 2K mod creators is allegedly shared and leaked. If that is indeed happening, then we are talking about something extremely serious, because this is not just about a single piece of work being used; it can directly affect multiple creators within the community. What bothers me the most about all of this is the contradiction. In certain situations, the work of other creators is treated as inferior, amateur, or "unprofessional." So I have a simple question for you, Luzmilla: what exactly does being professional mean to you? Because, to me, it makes no sense to take someone else's work, apply filters, AI, heavy editing, or any other kind of treatment on top of it, and then act as if that completely changes where the content originally came from. If the content we create is really as bad, amateur, or "unprofessional" as you claim, then why do you keep using it? Why rely on the work of the very creators you criticize? Creating a mod is not simply taking a finished file and putting it into the game. There is research, modeling, editing, texturing, adaptation, UV work, materials, testing, corrections, adjustments, and countless hours of work that most people never see. Anyone who actually follows the process knows how much time can go into achieving the final result. Taking that work and using it as part of another project does not change the fact that it was created by someone else just because you later make changes, apply filters, or add AI. Editing something afterward does not erase the original work. I also want to make one thing very clear: I am not speaking only for myself. There are many creators in this community who dedicate an enormous amount of time to their projects and have had their work used, redistributed, or repurposed without permission. I spent a long time avoiding this kind of discussion because I would rather spend my time creating mods than getting involved in community drama. But at some point, staying silent becomes unfair to the people who actually put in the work. And after more than a year of receiving reports and seeing new situations continue to appear, I simply got tired of ignoring it. I have countless screenshots, conversations, images, and other records related to these situations. What I am posting below is only a small portion of all the material I have archived. I am not showing everything I have, because it would be impossible to fit all of this into a single post. I also have records that directly show the person involved, including a photo of her, so I am not talking about someone whose identity I don't know or simply repeating something I heard from someone else. There is material documenting these situations, and I am only showing a portion of it here. If you believe you can do something better, create it from scratch. Build your own base, your own models, your own textures, and your own project. It is very easy to say that someone else's work is bad or "unprofessional" while simultaneously using that same work in your own projects. That is precisely what doesn't make sense: you criticize other people's work, but continue relying on it when you need to build your own mods. This isn't simply a matter of having a different opinion about quality; there is a huge difference between disliking someone's work and using that same work to create your own content. I don't expect everyone to like my mods, and criticism is part of any creative community. You can think my work is good, bad, simple, excessive, or whatever else. That's part of it. What I will not accept is someone putting down work that took hours to create while simultaneously using that same content to build their own projects. So after more than a year of seeing this kind of situation happen repeatedly and constantly receiving new screenshots and reports from other creators, I think it is long past time to speak openly about it. I have the records, I have the screenshots, and I have been following this situation for more than a year. What I am publishing below is only a portion of what I have saved. Anyone who wants to understand why I am speaking about this now can simply look at the material and draw their own conclusions. And honestly, after all of this, I have no interest in pretending that I don't see what is happening. If you want to criticize other creators' work, that's fine. But at the very least, you should be able to do that without relying on the exact work you are calling "unprofessional." Because when you spend so much time saying that other people's work isn't good enough while continuing to find a use for that same work in your own projects, the situation becomes pretty clear. You are a joke, and you always will be a laughingstock. I genuinely feel sorry for you.
