As someone whose favourite game is Baldur's Gate 3, I can only feel sorry for anyone who's emotionally held hostage by this mess of a game. You're getting scammed in the worst sort of way.
Obviously the answer is no.

I will not be making any purchases from the market place. I despised the Sims 3 store for the same reason that I am appalled at even the thought of a Sims 4 store, more micro-transactions and scamming people.
I get all my CC and mods for free and I support the creators of those through patreon, so why would I want to pay for something I could get for free elsewhere while also donating my money to the creators that I like?
I also make my own CC and share it for others to have for free. The fact the creators for the market place are only getting 30% for their work is just plain wrong. And console players are basically forced to buy something that PC players have been getting for free for a very long time, which is basically a "selling water in the desert" kind of scam.

No, I will not be buying anything from this marketplace. Instead of a potentially interesting game feature to make custom content more accessible to all players, like several other games do, we are clearly getting a disingenuous cash grab. If it were about the players and the sims community, there would not be predatory virtual currency and the "Makers" would not recieve ONLY 30% of sales. This should be offensive to all Simmers.
Since before the buyout I had started focusing on enjoying the packs I already owned, becuse the amount of content was getting insanely overwhelming. I continued with my purchasing hiatus once the change in ownership was announced because I wanted to see how this would effect the future of the game. Decisions like this Martketplace only push me closer to never purchasing any Sims branded content ever again.
I understand that companies need to make money, but they also need to maintain an enjoyable and trustworthy product. If this marketplace was about the players, there would not be virtual currency and the Makers would recieve a much larger cut. - crocobaura18 hours agoLegend
It probably won't be marked as CC, same way as creator kits. But in game you can usually tell which is Maxis made and which is creator made stuff, because the art style is different.

Where do you see the objects? I thought this wasn't available yet.

No. I don't like the idea of having to purchase virtual currency in order to buy content. I bought the last 2 kits on my wishlist today while they were still available to purchase directly. I won't be purchasing any future kits.

NO!
- I hate being seen as a money making machine and this makes me feel like one.
- I hate microtransactions and this is it
- I don't like the idea that I need to buy in game currency that I can then use to buy something, which will then be left in my "wallet" so that I will buy more. It's a scam. I don't want to be scammed.

So, yesterday, I bought the last three kits I am likely to ever buy. It's not as if I need more new content.

To be fair this is not really cc . Its like creator kits , there making stuff to be use in the game.

I really don't think I will purchase from the marketplace. I feel that this is just a huge money pull. I've got nothing against modders, heck, I use mods all the time and love them. But micro transactions are not something I can support.
Most likely, not.
I gave up on Kits 40 kits ago, so I have no reason to engage in this content system.
There is going to have to be some really incredible content for me to purchase Moola. If EA allows us to create custom collections in Build/Buy mode. I might consider it. I have so much content already, it's difficult to find my favorite stuff.
