Sims 5 CAS in Development?

"Knowledge of popular Sims Community mods and Custom Content". Hopefully this means that the sims5 will have mod support (which also means that you can probably play the game offline).

"Participating in Subscription services"... maybe they plan to offer CAS content through EA Play. Who knows, maybe they are considering something like a Steam Workshop, where you can subscribe for new content and it gets updated automatically.

Yikes! Don't like the sounds of that, what if they're planning on having only mod/cc support available for people who pay for the subscription. I seriously wouldn't put it past them, the mod community is a big driving force as to why people are still goo-goo-gaga over TS4. What better way to make sure their subscription service is viable by locking mods/cc behind it.

Bethesda did that with their Fallout 4 mods. They released paid mods through a subscription service. It was a PR disaster. The few modders that released content on it ended up releasing their mods for free.

But I'm pretty sure EA would want nothing to do with that, it would be too much trouble for them to keep the modders paid and mods updated. I mean...they can barely support the game when it's running without mods. And they are not going to have a paid subscription service where they take no responsibility for what people upload on it.

Excited by and participating
in new business/distribution
models like Subscription services
and cross platform games.

I would absolutely love a Switch version.

Ok Im not *for* multiplayer per se, but not against it either. But it sounds so cute to play the sims with my little sister on the switch!. And having cross platform would be nice. I wouldn't mind a subscription fee for multiplayer options but would not pay for any for any singleplayer gameplay. I already do Minecraft Realms which is subscription based but singleplayer you own.

Thanks for the update. I'm curious (because I don't know) what the following things mean when describing the job requirements for the creative designer? What do the terms UXR, XD, CMR and Gate, and Lotus development mean? lol Those terms might give us more insight (or at least me) what direction they are going since they seem to be the requirements for a creative designer (second job posting they talked about). (Working with those stated).

Does that service pay players for their creations? I think I read something about EA being interested in perhaps bringing something like that to their games, where other players buy other players' stuff.
