I love all the patreon creators saying it's a new policy. It's not. The Sims team has mentioned it multiple times before publicly and on their official forums. They're only concerned about it now because EA made it apart of their Terms & Conditions which effects all games under the EA publishing. If EA didn't add it to their T&C they wouldn't be acting like it's the end of the world. I will also say not all patreon creators are evil. It's just the clearly money hungry and greedy ones that I hate. Like they act like it's a job it's not it's a hobby it's always been a hobby and you can ask people for donations and I can promise you if people really like your creations and the work you do they will donate to support you. You can even open up commissions or do what I'm seeing some creators do and make stuff for blender and make blender stuff a Pay to Use. Before patreon was huge people had Ko-Fi's and would ask for donations on their posts and a lot of people got donations that way and could pay their bills and medical expenses and whatever else they needed money for. EA didn't do it just to attack the Sims community and get back at them for shitting on the sims. They did it to protect their games and to allow people equal access to the same mods for their games that their creators worked on to make. Sims isn't the only game you can mod that EA owns and it's not the only game with a Paywall community. Just be glad they even allowed modding in sims 4 that shit was a nightmare before and they could have easily blocked modding in the sims 4. All in all this isn't the end of the world and if people would have just followed The Sims Team's original TOU about Patreon and paywalls the whole community wouldn't be effected.
Shout out to the people fixing the High School Year bugs too while we wait for the official fix from the sims team next week. I can't test any of my cc until they fix it but I can at least play the game.
