Most of the responses I received were along the lines of “no, I can’t be bothered to update my old stuff, I’m putting out new stuff through Patreon where I can make more money”. But my enthusiasm for this type of CC was dampened when I approached various creators asking if they were going to update their objects due to game updates causing glitches such as awful shadow lines or just not working anymore. A lot of it is hidden behind ghastly Adfly or similar links which nearly always download crappy files in the hope that an unsuspecting user will open them, often masquerading as an Adobe Flash installer (who even still uses Flash?). I sometimes use a lot of alpha CC in my game depending on the aesthetic I’m going for and what mood I’m in and have done for years now.

Without some of this amazing content The Sims 4 can be pretty dull if you want certain aspects in your game. I hate the greed and entitlement that some creators display when releasing content but I also understand that those who are damn good at what they do deserve support as it takes a lot of time and effort to make CC/Mods AND keep them updated and supported (just look at the mess the July 2022 patch has created, PC: 1.90.358.1030 / Mac: 1.90.358.1230).

Not sure what timeframe they’re thinking of but at least they’ve confirmed that Early Access is ok.ĮA have clarified, somewhat, their stance on 3rd party content creators hiding their stuff behind paywalls and early access here Update 02.08.22 – EA have now clarified that Early Access is acceptable for a “reasonable amount of time”.
