The Sims 4 is getting paid mods, and a new in-game currency to pay for them

"The Maker Program is a way for community creators to get their work out there, and profit from it. The content they create will end up on the Marketplace, where other players can browse it, and pay for it if they want to use it in their game."

"Alongside this, the game is also introducing a new virtual currency - Moola - which is what you're going to use to purchase Maker Packs, as well as Sims 4 Kits in the Marketplace. A portion of your purchase will go to the creator (roughly 30%) of what you buy."

"In order to start creating custom content and publishing it on the Marketplace, you'll need to first be accepted into the program. Once that's done, you'll be able to directly publish your content on the Marketplace."

The Sims 4 introduces The Sims Maker Program and Marketplace, enabling community creators to publish and monetize custom content. The system launches March 17 on PC and Mac, with console releases following within months. Creators receive approximately 30% of purchase revenue. A new virtual currency, Moola, facilitates transactions for Maker Packs and Kits. Existing Expansion Packs, Game Packs, and Stuff Packs will migrate to the Marketplace but remain purchasable through traditional storefronts. Kits become exclusive to the Marketplace. Creators must gain program acceptance before publishing and retain control over pricing and content packaging.
