The Sims 4 m🐓odding community is currently divided over the latest policy EA has intr🌞oduced for the game which states players are no longer allowed to charge for their creations.
As reported by , EA has introduced a new policy for The Sims 4, one 🐟that specifically affects modders. Acc𝔍ording to a recent post titled , EA says it does "not object to mod developers continuing to share their amazing content", subject to a few conditions.
One of these conditions includes: Players are not allowed to promote their mods "in a way that suggests they are endorsed by or affiliated with The Sims, Maxis, or 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Electronic Arts." What this specifically means is that modders can no longer use any game log꧅os or trademarks, including the iconic Plumbob, or key art to promote the mods. 𒐪However, they can still state that the mods are for "The Sims 4" and/or any specific game expansions.
The main new policy that has Sims 4 players up in arms though is that "mods must be non-commercial and distributed free-of-charge." Meaning those who offer mods through the likes of the membership platform Patreon, are no longe🍬r able to do so. "Mods cannot be sold, licensed, or rented for a fee," the new policy reads, "nor can mods contain features that would support monetary transactions of any type."
The Sims developer Maxis does say however that it "recognizes that creating mods takes time and resources" a🐓nd so "mod dev🍰elopers may recoup their development costs via passive advertisements and donations" - subject to a few other conditions including: "Passive advertisements and requests for donations must be limited to the mod website or distribution site, and not appear within the mod itself" and "all users must be able to access the mods in full for free regardless of whether they donate."
There's been a mixed reaction to the news, with some Sims 4 players revealing that they are uns♏ympathetic towards the changes, while others express their frustration with EA and Maxis' latest policy updates.
tbh im kinda pissed that creators cant make money from their sims 4 mods/cc anymore because their content is optional. 100% you can easily find 100s of creators making their popular mods and cc free ꩵfor the public and this hasnt been a pr✤oblem AT ALL in the past
sims 4 cc creators have killed their golden goose by not following the rules and now ea had to take away your ability to paywall mods even temporarily. hilariously stupid how some people can complain as if ea wasnt being overly genero🐲us before to let you do e🌜arly access paywalls
Twitter user and The Sims 4 custom content creator expressed their views on the situation, writing: "For me, EA updating their policy in regards to CC + monetization of UGC is a bles𝄹sing in disguise." The post continues: "I've seen so many creators have joined in on the CC making rat race as a way to get some fast cash, instead of releasing fun passion projects and interacting with the community at large." It looks as though the majority of the community is pleased with EA and Maxis' new polic♎ies.

After studying Film Studies and Creative Writing at university, I was lucky enough to land a job as an intern at Player Two PR where I helped to release a number of indie titles. I then got even luckier when I became a Trainee News Writer at GamesRadar+ before being promoted to a fully-fledged News Writer after a year and a half of training. My expertise lies in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, cozy indies, and The Last of Us, but especially in the Kingdom Hearts series. I'm also known to write abou🌄t the odd Korean drama for the Entertainment team every now and then.
