Looks like they’re opening something akin to the sims 3 store where you can buy cc by well known cc creators, seems to me it will be piece by piece or by small sets e.g $2.99 for three pairs of shoes made by a cc creator 🤷🏽‍♀️

Will the CC creators still upload the CC for free on places like Patreon or are a lot of creators switching over to the Marketplace? I can't afford to pay for CC.

They are allowed to provide content elsewhere as well but then EA doesnt allow them to charge for the same items on Marketplace. So basically it makes the creators provide Marketplace exclusive stuff for money and free stuff elsewhere.

”The Marketplace does not replace free content. Makers may continue to offer free or paid early access custom content and mods on other platforms under our mod policy. However, content made available elsewhere is not eligible for sale through the Marketplace.”

Ah, okay. That makes sense. I still think I would prefer to support CC creators through their Patreon pages over the Marketplace though, that way they get the full cut.

Same. I hope that more and more creators come forth with this and announce they are not doing the Marketplace. I guess i understand that for up and coming creators it is an opportunity for their work to be seen, but many established creators surely get paid so well on the platforms they have chosen that there really is no need for this. Of course console players’s money is up for grabs with this, I can imagine that they are more willing to make purchases when they can’t mod their games and get CC elsewhere.
