If you join anyone’s Patreon, you will be paying monthly for whatever it is they are offering. To make matters worse, some of these “creators” don’t even upload new things every month. So, you are effectively paying for nothing.
Also, some will make anything they upload go backwards, meaning if you sign up today you may get only this months upload OR you may get everything they’ve ever uploaded. But you will have to check closely what this particular “creator” is saying on their page.
Keep in mind, these “creators” are only supposed to keep things behind a Patreon for 3 weeks maximum. Anything longer than that and they are abusing The Sims terms and conditions. This means, if you can wait 3 weeks to have whatever they made, you can get it for free. I wouldn’t want to support anyone who is not releasing items or mods to the public like they are supposed to do.
I would recommend only supporting ones not because it’s a requirement to get the items, but because you actually like them and appreciate their additions and following the rules.
FelixAndre is the worst offender here imo. He puts all his cc on Patreon, then even if you subscribe you have to email and ask for the download links to the stuff you want, he doesn’t provide links on his Patreon page, and even then he limits the number of links you can request per month. I don’t mind contributing to creators, not even a little bit because I know a lot of hours go into each creation, and FelixAndre makes some beautiful historical build cc. But his Patreon system seems deeply unfair to me and I refuse to participate in it.
