EA's modding policy - What I'm going to change (Patreon)
Content
Hello all,
Some time ago during my Covid-illness, EA updated their modding policy and while the biggest part of it was about early access (Which I barely offer here on Patreon), a small part was also about what can and can't be used while promoting your mods.
"Do not promote your Mods in a way that suggests they are endorsed by or affiliated with The Sims, Maxis, or Electronic Arts. This means you cannot use any game logos or trademarks, including versions of the plumbob, or key art designs to promote your Mods. You may state that your Mods are for The Sims 4 and/or for a specific game expansion pack."
Because of the above, I've decided that I'm going to change my banners on my socials. So the one here on Patreon, but also on YouTube, Twitter and Tumblr. I will also make a change to the YouTube logo which is visible in the lower right corner of my videos and my future thumbnails won't have the Sims plumbob logo in the upper left corner and the required game pack logos on them anymore. Of course I will keep mentioning when certain packs are required, just in another way.
As for the banner, my idea is to remove the plumbobs from the banner, but also the Sims render in the middle. Other things will come into place which will match more with the mods I make.
As my energy level is still not as it used to be, I'm not sure when I the new banners will go life. But now you all know that there will be a small change. :)
