SimRealist and EA's TOU
I've gotten a couple of messages here and there about EA's latest TOU, and I would like to make a brief statement on the status of SimRealist.
I started this modding community because of my frustration with the Sims' offerings in the game. I worked at a financial institution, and the financial system never satisfied me. As a result, Sims National Bank was born. However, it wasn't an overnight creation. It was me pulling money out of my pocket to get someone with coding experience to build it. I've stumbled along the way to where this community is, and I'm super proud of what we all built. Yes, that's right, each of you is one of me. Frustrated with what the game had to offer, so did the exact thing I did and continue to do.
Currently, our mods go in a state of development, testing, further development/updates, and then translation before ever reaching the Public. All those bugs you report on Discord are reviewed and addressed accordingly before thousands and thousands of users experience those bugs. This is how we will continue to run SimRealist until I hear otherwise from EA, as there are a lot of mixed messages out there. One clear thing I did take away, all mods must be FREE, and they are here: https://simrealist.itch.io/. Anything that is on Patreon, like I said, is in an unfinished state. Our mods are not simple; they are complex and touch a lot. Keeping to our current process allows better quality mods to release every Quarter.
If it is deemed otherwise with an official statement from EA, we will change our processes and go from there. We will not just drop everything and leave you hanging until we can no longer support the process. If it weren't for you, our supporters, we would not be where we are today, and truly appreciate it. I look forward to what we build together in the future.
Much Love,
Nichole

That's why I feel early access mods being ok should stay and are really important. We test them out and you can fix the errors. I'm still gonna support you when I can financially and when I can't, I'll just wait for them to be public!
You’re awesome, I pray everything works out for your good. I know God will lift you up! ❤️🤗
Can't imagine playing some of my saves without you guys!
I will literally deplete my bank account for your mods. We as the sim community wont let amazing modders like you down either. We will donate and assist where we can bc the game would be nothing without you guys. Thanks SimRealist for being amazing
Please don’t deplete your bank account. Help when you can but take care of yourself first. We want to see you thriving. ❤️
I am here to stay and will continue supporting you and your team.
That statement you made is the reason I will continue to support you! Thank you for what you do!
I will always support cc creators. I rather stop buying EA games than play sims4 without cc. We all know that this is ridiculous to sell broken games... This Is the same like I will buy iPhone and cannot use it and wait weeks or years for update haha
Totally support this decision. I appreciate mods and could not play without them in my game. Also- you and the team should be super proud of what you've built! the creativity in the modding community is really inspiring to me. That's why I contribute.
I know that your modifications have completely reinvigorated the game for me. whatever is going on you are appreciated.
I will continue to support you. 😊😊😊😊
Thank you! Your hard work is amazing and so appreciated. I love supporting everything you do and have done for us.
Thank you! Regardless of the end result with EA, I still plan to continue to support your efforts.
Thank you so much for continuing with your mods. I choose to support your work and I will continue to help support because your mods give the game more depth!!!
Thank you for your hard Work, I appreciate your mods and plan to support as long as I can.
