Why This Matters

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. Created content will be available across all platforms. All previous packs The Sims 4 players should be familiar with will move to the Marketplace, too: once the feature launches, this is where you re going to find Expansion Packs, Game Packs, Stuff Packs, Kits, and other official additions created by Maxis.

This is the kind of news that gets gamers talking across social media.

Key Takeaways

• A portion of your purchase will go to the creator (roughly 30%) of what you buy.
• Kits are the only items that will no longer be available on the existing PC/console storefronts.

The Bottom Line

It is worth noting, but, that you ll still be able to buy Expansion Packs, Game Packs, and Stuff Packs without having to purchase Moola, or go through the Marketplace. Kits are the only items that will no longer be available on the existing PC/console storefronts.
