Well, those people are actually in power, irl, and, you know, actually restricting women's rights. It's not just "chats".

I may be sheltered, tho I think I hunt a LOT of mods and cc, and I just haven't seen very many perma-paywallers. The vast majority are not, are just making a few $$ before releasing for free- which seems fair to everyone! I think it's those creators who are getting the majority of support.

more cc creators on the platform because I'm already on there. So I lean more into them. I'm not sure how perma-paywallers are being conflated with having a Patreon, but I've always been happy to support creators there when I can, because I support paying creative workers for their labor. 2/3

When I got into mods, I started supporting the creators on Patreon. I learned over time that modders with Patreons were more active in keeping their mods updated than modders who were not - which makes sense. Since keeping mods updated is important to me, I leaned more into them. Then I see 1/3

I still haven't updated my game since the end of January. Do you think someone could make a mod to blitz the marketplace from our games the way they did with the shopping cart? (Maybe I have too much faith in modders 😂)

How do you see "a higher value" being placed on paid cc? By whom?

That's the classic way to suppress wages. At least employees in the US have a legal right to discuss wages, but they're not employees, so....

Oof. Fortunately we're missing this one here. And in fact we're headed to temps in the 70s next week. I hear you about the snow/freezing rain combo though- the worst! Be safe 🤞

Exactly. And I don't see any benefit for players either.

Yes- all true! And other than convenience for some players, we're (players) not getting anything we don't already have now. I will be sticking to the content I can get on Patreon. I'm happy supporting creators there.

That was such a good pack- great BB and the game play too!

I think the bet is that with an in-game platform - and 73 million players- that there can be enough volume driven through there that that calculus might shift. If a lot of players buy through there, and some will- it might. The question is - how many will? Maybe a lot of new players unused to cc.

I guess they will learn out what the market will bear- and what it won't.

I'm under the weather today, on the couch, not working, and playing the Sims in the most listless way conceivable.

True!

Just to be clear since it seems like only partial info is going around, creators selling on the new EA Marketplace are making 30% of the price charged on there. EA gets 70%.There's a lot to criticize about the platform, but a kit selling for $10 - that's NOT going to the creator -they're getting $3.

Lilsimsie is WAY above the level of most creators.

Creators get 30% of the total charged on the platform.

Because the creators only make 30% of the price charged on the platform. So I guess they're trying to make some equivalent of a tier on Patron, because it's a small cut of the total?

More unsettling news about Mod the Sims!

If you use that website to download mods, better beware as there are now bad files packed into some mods.
Modguard is a mod by Twisted Mexi made to deal with these kind of files.

So peaceful!

I had to look him up- can't say I ever saw him! What is he like if you played him?

Looks like Dominic Fyres is the author for the second one! These are great!

They spontaneously do these things that seem so revealing. I would think a shower would be required after a mud fight tho!

Right??
