Re: 🛒 Will you purchase Marketplace content ?

I’m really excited about The Sims 4 Marketplace and I’m actually interested in buying some of the content that will be available there. I can’t be the only one who feels this way, so I’m curious to see how many people here are also looking forward to it.

 

Is anyone else excited about the Marketplace and planning to buy some of the new content?

    I imagine people on console might be happy about it. People on PC got options and many of them are still free.

    Of course because the most interesting part of a marketplace is the large variety of choice.

    I mean TS3 Store brought Sci-fi, Medieval, Circus, ... all these stuff that we never got in packs.

    As a console player, I’m not happy about it. No shade or anything, thanks for thinking of us (we suffer seeing all the mods and cc we can’t have) I would only like it if it was 100% free like real cc

    No, and I will tell you why. They did this on Sims 3; the currency never matched real currency, so you always had a surplus. Then you are pressured to use it by purchasing more fake currency... but it never evens out. You end up spending 5x as much money as when you buy packs for a lot less content. I looked at the marketplace, and a lot of the content is copy-paste, a lot is 5 items for what you would normally get 20 or 30 items for the same price, and a lot of it is very low quality, and those that aren't are available free online. I have no interest in flushing dollars down the drain. Now, that is my personal decision based on my experience. I fear many young people are going to learn the hard way. If you are on Console, my advice would be to use that money instead to purchase a computer and open up the world of free cc. Every time you want to buy on the Marketplace, put that money in a holding account or envelope. You will be surprised how much you save quickly toward a pc.
