Sim4 Marketplace

Hi there was wondering if anyone else noticed that the Sims 4 market could feel like the Sims 3 marketplace? Would love it if there were the option to create your own worlds. Hopefully am not the only one who is trying to see the bright side that the marketplace might bring. Anyone else hopeful for this update?

Thanks, let me know what you guys think/hope the market brings

  • Create-a-World was free, and people made worlds for free (I helped contribute to projects like these). The Sims 3 Store Worlds were Official content, and at this time they haven't mentioned "Makers" would have access to a CAW tool. And if they do, and charge—think it will ruffle feathers.

    I don't care if official/Maxis content releases worlds and I might even buy them, but if "Makers" do I won't buy (because CAW should be free).

    Plus, from what I remember one of the redeeming factors of the Sims 3 Store was the ability to gift to people, that isn't available (at least atm).

    If it happens, this tool could be exclusive to "Makers" . Why ? Because :

    • Game Stability :  Players already corrupt their game with lots, we can imagine what would happen with a whole world.
    • Too technical for average players
    • EA wants money

     

    Now if there are "Maker" worlds, it could be very interesting and probably way better than Maxis worlds.

  • Hi CAW would be nice. I would be happy if the color wheel came back.

  • I am cautiously optimistic but overall am excited to check it out when it opens. I think it's great creators will have a more prominent place and hopefully they will earn a lot overall. :) Twitch has (or had) the same split for partners, and at least there is no overhead for the creator/maker.

  • Also trying to see the bright side. Like Console players getting "CC" content now. 

    I think I know what I am missing in my game, be it CAS or Build/Buy and I am hopeful that I will be able to find it here. I am concerned that this will eliminate bigger DLC like Expansions, Game and Stuff packs.
