Marketplace Feedback

First off, I really like the idea of the marketplace! I like that kits have been moved into the marketplace and can be purchased with Moola, and are alongside other content from the community of creators! I do hope this means EA/Maxis will focus on making actual Stuff Packs more over creating so many Kits.

Feedback:

1 The interface is huge and hard to see even one row of content in the marketplace, please make the interface smaller and more consistent, some elements are enormous others are reasonably sized. My monitor is 2560x1440 and is 27" there is no reason for the interface to be so big.

2 Filters:

  • Add a currency filter to the filter options, so I can select Moola or real money. 
  • When selecting "Free" under the Pricing filter, it shows more than just the free content.
  • Add Maxis/EA as an option under the "Makers" filter.

 

3 On the Get Moola page show the cost per Moola breakdown. Offer more consistent deals as the amount goes up. 500 and 1000 are the same value. 

  • 200 is 80/$1.00 
  • 500 is 100/$1.00
  • 1000 is 100/$1.00
  • 2600 is 104/$1.00
  • 5500 is 110/$1.00

  • I hate marketplace. We have access to buy kits like normal before. Now we are just spending money on fake money to get something we could get without the middle man. I get CC stuff because not everyone is comfortable or able to mod but I still hate marketplace. EA new management ha ruined the game.

  • I see both sides of the coin with the marketplace. I tend to 'like' both positive and negative feedback because it is a true mixed bag.

    If the marketplace is a way to hedge loses during these economic times, and make it so we get SPs/GPs again, and of course more EPs—I think it could be worth it. But if this means less official content and lower quality content—I think it could just be a disaster.

    In any case I hope they take in all feedback from both sides, and take into serious consideration.

    In my opinion I think the marketplace is going to kill the Sims 4. We already pay large amounts of money for expansion packs, stuff packs, and game packs, so why should we also pay for kits with "sim" coins? Creator can choose to sell creations, but most people don't want to buy items they might not like.
