I have read it and to me it seems that permawalled stuff is not allowed. So I will be continueing with early access for the time being. Though my early access is mostly beta access as I end up updating a lot of mods after getting feedback from you guys during the early access period!I will wait for direct communication from EA regarding this and see how they implement their policy.I want to thank you guys so much for supporting me! I have been modding since 2014. My time was my own and I did whatever wanted to do. I started patreon in 2020 after 6 years because suddenly I found out that my time was really not my own after the birth of my kid and whenever I worked on a mod or an update I felt immensly guilty. So in a last ditch effort to continue making cc I opened a patreon. I love making mods...absolutely love it! And you guys with your support have made it possible to continue with this. Your valuable feedback and your ideas have been of immense help. Thank you!Edit: I talked to EA live chat about early access and they said that there is no official announcement related to this.

You have my continued support, regardless of if you are allowed early access 💜

chloe

if they do get rid of early access, i will still donate to you!! one of the best mods in my game that just adds alittle bit more🤍

Ree Barkla

You are one of a group of core cc creators, I support every month, all of you use the early access format and I have always considered that we were your beta testers, I will continue to support this group of creators. You do an amazing job.

TheWillowPond

Will absolutely continue to support you! Your content is amazing and I love how you interact with us and have voting poles for new projects it's so exciting! ❤️

Melo Sung

Whether you use early access or not the content you make will always be amazing. You will always have my support with whatever you do! 💙

P S

I think that Early access should be allowed. I am not a CC creator, but I know it takes a lot of time to create this content. EA should be grateful to people who mod their empty game

Penny Hyatt

My sister and I love your work. We will most likely continue support regardless.

Kayla Durandisse

If it becomes a donations only system I’ll still keep the same option I have now s as long as I fiscally can b/c I wanna support you!

Zaryiax

Je continuerais à vous soutenir quoi qu'il arrive ;-)

Kiwi

I'm going to keep supporting regardless

Mara Jade Biwalker

I'm staying a patron regardless of how EA decides to go. With the nonsense they pulled with the Store for Sims 3, I don't buy their complaints about modders getting reimbursed for their time and effort. Especially when they put out content that seems heavily influenced by popular mods.......

Elisabetta

I'm pretty sure they're going to peek at anyone who is reported. I doubt the permapaywallers will be left alone. There are several who have been extremely toxic to the community and you can guarantee they're being reported en masse. Regardless, I'm not going to stop supporting the creators I already support (barring financial issues, of course).

Elisabetta

That's not what this is about. Enough people finally complained about the permapaywallers breaking EA rules. These permapaywallers have made the modding community toxic. They've doxxed people, they've threatened people, they've contacted their jobs and families, harassing them. This was well past due. People like IceMunMun are not the problem and 99% of the modders like them will be left alone.

Elisabetta

I just want to add that the policy EA has always had about 'selling' mods and CC hasn't changed. It's also a very generous policy that allowed for no more than 2-3 weeks of early access but permapaywalling has always been against that policy.

Wendy Hubble

I am so glad you decided to use Patreon. Making money for your family doing what you love is a dream come true! I love your content and plan to continue my support. Hopefully you can continue to do things as always :)

Sara Freed

I love your cc and will continue to support you no matter what EA decides! I hope they allow early access, which is VERY different from the people who put cc behind permanent paywalls.

Jamie C Allen

From my understanding, permawalled stuff was always against the ToC. I haven't seen the changes everyone is talking about but when I read the ToC a few years ago(i was learning about contract law in class and started reading a lot of contracts), EA specifically stated that all custom and modded creations must be free to access within 21 days. If a player/creator violates the ToC, which permawalled content do, EA has the right to terminate the contract. They haven't been because modders have been the spice of Sims for decades, but if these "new changes" include an intent to end contracts with violators, EA would be well within their right to ban that users IP or block their Origin account.

Jamie C Allen

That being said, Good CC is art to me so I treat Patreon like a recurring tipping service. Plus, I like being emailed updates! It makes maintaining my files easier.

Rainbowblade

Ok so they have clarified that Early Access is no longer allowed. However Im sure people will still sub to you for the mod feedback and development process. I love how you include us. I am also making a petition asking EA to reconcider their stance on this matter because it is important for us players to keep our best modders giving us their best.

Rainbowblade

Awesome. Well im getting this petition ready anyways. We all feel that creators like you are important and shouldn't be punished for jerks behavior. Thank you for following the rules 😀

Penny Hyatt

I will gladly sign that petition

BHB Writes

I think it'd be pretty shitty of EA to take away the Early Access allotment for creators -- because you guys work so hard, and you do so much for the game. Until Sim Gurus actually confirm it one way or another, I think Early Access is still fine. I think it should be fine anyway. It's one of the only ways Modders make money for all their hard work. Anyways, you're awesome and I <3 your mods, so I'll stay subscribed no matter what anyway.

Gaff + Lizzi

Y'all work so so hard, and are the folks that really bring the game to life, and deserve to be paid and supported <3

msphoenixnoire

As long as my budget allows, I’m definitely gonna continue to support you.

Jessica click

I will forever support you paywall or not if the time comes put a donation box up my monthly payment will keep coming. Love your work and I refuse to play without it. I don’t even use EA recipes since I came across your blog and tumbler years ago.

Anhedonic

Yeah, even if they say you can't paywall early access, I will still gladly support you as long as I can. I don't subscribe to you because of the paywall, I subscribe because I love your mods and want to give back for the wonderful mods you make.

Steiner Silvia

Hi Munmun - I support you because of your talent - no matter if I get your mods earlier or not - I guess to be a patreon of a modder is a help and honour to your work - sorry for all the issues with EA

SugahSpice

I'm still going to support, no matter what. I pay because I'm too lazy to wait for it to be free and YOU unlike some do make your cc free

PandyGirl

I still plan on supporting you here because you and turbo driver are my life blood for the Sims. You are so sweet and talented. I will always be your patron.

Tasha The Simmer

Will definitely be staying subbed to support you!

Eliza Cruz

I will always support you. You are my favorite creator❤️

Tekaneo

I will continue to support you no matter what you decide even if you make the content for free as long as I can afford it, you deserve every penny for the fun you make me have with your mods in the game :)

Evs

I wanted you to know I will continue to support you. I look forward to your content every month. You add so much dimension in my game.

Monica

You definitely have my continued support! Your content is amazing.

Chelsea

FYI, it looks like they've further clarified that Early Access will be prohibited as well (which, from a crackdown perspective makes total sense; it prevents people from playing fast and loose with the policy and EA don't have to constantly monitor how long things have been out.) Sims Community has an article on it including chats with EA support confirming Early Access is no longer permitted. I will continue to support you as I appreciate the content you bring to my game! :)

icemunmun

Hey the chats were different for different people. The simcommunity article only showed the answer from one custor service live chat agent. When I asked they told me that there is no official announcement ( I have uploaded the pic here). I have seen atleast 5 different answers 😅. I am waiting on direct communications/emails from EA/simgurus. Thank you ♥️

TheRealDubai

Am I the only one saddened by this? like the whole sims community is in an uproar.Like I legit thought the community was like one big happy family and it’s not.This is bazaar

Sia (snickersd)

Regardless of what EA says, I still plan on supporting you. Your mods have brought so much joy to my game

Barbara Andrews

I love your mods and will continue to support.

Desiree Williams

I'm gonna continue to support regardless. Thank you for what you contribute to the game and the community💕😊

Desiree Williams

I understand. It has changed over time and gotten bigger. So I think that this happened due to that. But some of us can keep the happy sims community alive😊💕

Mama P Sims

I love your creations so much! $5 is a bit high to me so I don't subscribe as often as I used to but I still do when I have the extra money. I'm here to stay whether it's as a patron or to wait for public release. I really hope this works out for you.

Tiffaney Jones

i'm already paid for a year... so you will continue to get my support

gameblogger

You will be getting my support no matter what. No-one but you adds this much variety to the game. Keep going (and maybe get your kid to help when they are old enough).

icemunmun

haha my 2 5 year old already is mesmerized by the spinning plumbob. She stands and watches it as soon as i launch my game

gameblogger

I can see her getting inspiration from you (or perhaps the other way around)

anonymouspotato1894

I’m so angry at the greedy permapaywallers for ruining it for everyone else. Fingers crossed EA comes out and clarifies that early access will still be allowed because it’s unfair for those who followed the rules to be punished due to the greed, doxxing and all round toxic behaviour of permapaywallers 😡 it’s not nice to see amazing early access CC creators be potentially put into a precarious situation over this. Sending you love 💕

Alysia Michaud

I'll be continuing with my support regardless. CC/Mod creators are a crucial part of the game. MANY people wouldn't play anymore if creators couldn't add to the gameplay. I've been playing with no mods/CC for 2 days (due to bugs) and I MISS them!!

Dee Lite

Will continue my support no matter what happens

Kristen

Unfortunately the modding community has gotten so toxic over the last few years I quit playing altogether. Your mods always make me want to play again. Though financially I can’t support any amazing creators, I will always support you in my heart 💕

Jaq

I will continue to support your great work

Tammy Furguson

you have my support as your work is so great, that i use it daily. thank you for everything
