New In-Game Marketplace

EA is adding major changes to The Sims 4. Later this month, the game will launch an in‑game marketplace where players can purchase creator‑made items using a new currency called Moola. This follows the game’s shift to a free‑to‑play model in 2022.

Maker Program

Creators who wish to sell items must join the new Maker Program, with applications opening on March 5. Participants will receive a Maker Suite that provides official tools, resources, and clear guidelines to ensure that user‑generated content integrates smoothly into the game.

How It Works

• Makers can list their items on the marketplace.
• Players use Moola to buy these items directly within the game.
• The Maker Suite helps maintain quality and compatibility across all user‑created content.
