This Creator is Breaking EA’s TOS

As most of you know, EA’s terms of service state that you can only keep mods behind a paywall for a maximum of 3 weeks. This simmer, KiaraSims4Mods, has been keeping some of her mods locked for over a month!

I’m not sure how to report her, but hopefully this works!

  • Have you checked their website? https://kiarasims4mods.home.blog They have release dates listed next to each mod.

    I don't think EA actually enforces the paywall terms, to be honest... but in my experience, KiaraSims4Mods has been pretty good about following them.
  • @FurAndYarn I’m sorry. I didn’t know about their website. I thought their mods were on Patreon only.
  • They don't enforce it. I know of many modders who keep their mods and cc locked behind pay walls for years at a time. The only think you can do is refuse to pay them and spread the word.

    No need to apologize! It would probably be very helpful if they linked to the website on Patreon to clear up confusion. :)

    Thanks for posting this! Haha, I was shocked to see that I was being accused of this. You could have @ me on Twitter or Discord to ask where my blog is or search for it. :)

    I honestly think the only thing you can accuse Kiara of is occasionally having a brainfart and forgetting to put one of her mods up on the date announced (and when that DOES happen, just check the following day. or tweet at her and she'll be like "slaps forehead" and put it up.). Love you @KiaraSims4Mods! ).
  • I didn't know EA allowed their IP to be used for gain at all, in the terms of their licence!! Having said that, there is no point reporting as while they reserve the right to enforce, it's entirely up to them if they choose to.

    Thanks! And yes I am pretty bad about that LOL! :)
