Early access stuff and etc

As many of you already know, early access is now against the new EA rules, so i’m not gonna post my cc under this type of paywall from now on. I’m really thankful to all of you who supported me this whole time and it would be a lie if i said that i’m not sad or disappointed about this situation.

However, i’m not going to stop making cc, i still like making stuff for this community and there’s so many ideas i want to try, even though my mental health is not the best right now, i’m not going to give up.

There’s something else i want to make clear:

  • i’m gonna keep my patreon for those who are willing to keep supporting me even though all stuff are going to be free. If you want to make a one-time donation, just cancel your subscription after you’ve been charged.

  • since my patrons were already charged this month, please feel free to message me and ask for a refund!!

  • the latest post is still under the early access ‘cause i’ve heard the news after it was posted and people were already charged for the new items, i just want to make it fair for those who paid for that

  • ???? not sure if i have anything else to say but if you got any questions feel free to ask

I dont understand how EA now has a problem with this after so many years.yeah its for the game but creators work hard and EA has no connection to pateron. i think its really wrong fot them to do that.

I have downloaded from you before and just started supporting you because I thought it was a good thing to do to let you know I appreciate all the time and effort you put in your work. So the reason for me to support you was never for the early access. I know it is not a high amount, but I am happy to keep doing this :-)

They have changed their minds again! I would have kept my pledge anyway, but thought you should know.

Just so you know: EA has specifically re-updated the page to clarify that Early Access incentives are still OK https://help.ea.com/en/help/the-sims/the-sims-4/mods-and-the-sims-4-game-updates/ I'll support you regardless though because I love your content.

Hi ClumsyAlien! It looks like the EA TOU has been updated to SPECIFICALLY clarify that Early Access is, in fact, 100% okay! https://help.ea.com/en/help/the-sims/the-sims-4/mods-and-the-sims-4-game-updates/

The way I understand it, EA is looking to deal with the permanent paywall creators that *require* payment before giving access to their cc. Early release creators don't fall under that. Regardless of what you decide, I sincerely hope you continue to post here on Patreon. I'm notified of new content from you in that way. Otherwise I wouldn't even know unless I came across it in my social media feed. :(

IdenticalOskar · August 2, 2022

Will we still be able to support you monthly?

Decided to become a patron today because I love your work and saw your post from following your Patreon :) I appreciate what you do & all the ways your art makes my game a little more fun.

I support you because I love your content; each and every piece has quality touches that make it my favourite CC to put on just about every sim I make, and going forward I will continue to support you :)

I’m not supporting for early access, I support because of you and what you create and do for the sims community 🥰 I’ll keep supporting

It's my understanding that the paywall isn't necessarily against the TOS. The post by the Sims Dev was that EA doesn't mind, as long as the CC is made available within a few weeks. I have seen some CC creators who never make their CC available to non-subs. I think those are the people who this current drama is directed at, not creators like you. So, you could still do early access. I know many people love your work, including some large YouTube creators, so I would hate to see you feeling defeated by this and stop creating your CC. However, this could be an opportunity for some CC creators to feel they can take a break. I've seen almost all the CC creators I support on Patreon going through the same kind of burnout. So, maybe this will help you all to feel like you can just create when you are inspired and it doesn't have to be a grind every month. The work of CC creators provides so much value to the game, I'd rather pay a few bucks to Patreon every month than dump money into kits!

Mama P Sims · August 2, 2022

I'm not a Patron but I love your work! I happily wait for public access. The gurus haven't made any statements officially and even with early access, your mods are still considered "free" since they end up free after that. I just don't see how the revision is being interpreted as no more early access. I understand your decision just to be safe but I really hope they make this clearer soon.

Will definitely continue to support. You’re one of my favorite creators and your work is greatly appreciated 🤍

Jordan Aubz · August 2, 2022

I just now decided to become a patron, it would be a disaster if you stopped making cc. You are the best of the best!! But I know the community will rally behind you (and other amazing creators) and continue to give you support!

Malinda land · August 2, 2022

I just wanted to say I really appreciate your work. As an Alpha CC user converting to MM the conversion hasn't been hard at all since you are one of the best MM creators I've found. I feel like your content is rt in between MM & Alpha & I love it :)
