Favorite Creator Items in marketplace? (Build/Buy mode)

  1. Does anyone buy in the BB section? If yes, why
  2. Does anyone think the items in the Creator/maker kits are far less than EA's kits? 
  3. Does anyone think that Creators item should contain more or the same amount as per EA's kits for the same price?

I love to support my favorite Creator when their products are for sale on Marketplace - however, i know most Creators have uploaded their items in other websites for free.

I myself love uploading my builds (EAID elizah81) and share them with the community because I love the industrial style/raw and minimalist designs. I rarely play with sims only to test my builds and see if they can move and use the items in the builds.

Firstly, I was one of the first to purchase 5,500 moolahs when it launched - just to buy all the BB (build/buy) modes from the Creators I love and support, and also that the builds uploaded do not appear as CC. 

Secondly, I would like that the build mode be more classy (like free stuff outside of EA) like more doors/windows/fences/gates/stairs/wallpapers/floors/rugs/decor items/curtains/shades have more couture/modern clutter/minimalist stuff as well, instead of recycling what EA came up with.. 

Thirdly, the items from my favourite creators have less than the usual EA Kit (25 items for approx 450 moolahs) - instead the most i received for 400-500 moolahs were 11 items..... it really breaks my heart and wallet....

So I really want to support the Creators - I seriously hope they could do a great job (like they do their free version) and add more content - at least 20-25 items so your die-hard fans and their wallets won't feel so bad...

    I feel like I’m 'coming out' here, but I just couldn't resist the Artsy Boho Bedroom by Taurus. 🫣 To be honest, I think the quality of this pack is excellent. I mainly buy from creators I already know, and while it would be great for me to get the same amount of items for the same price as EA kits, I’ve chosen to see it this way: creators only get a 30% cut. If they included more items for that (cut) price, there would be almost nothing left for them at all, so the smaller packs actually make sense for them. (i'm not going into the whole 70% EA kind of things.. )

    I also have some other unpopular opinions: Unlike regular CC, I don't have to worry about these items breaking my game after a patch.

    I use *A LOT* of gameplay-mods and I’m a full-blown gameplay simmer, so not having to deal with that side of things and still having CAS Items from my favorite CC Creators made me buy things. (We listen and we don't judge)

    However, the 'Moola' loop is absolutely unnecessary and more importantly it’s intransparent; they should just show the real price. I also wish the Marketplace provided better pictures and swatches for the creator packs, because most of what I bought looks way better in-game than it did in the shop...
