Per EA's new guidelines, The Sims 4 custom content creators are no longer allowed to promote mods 'in a way that suggests they are endorsed by or affiliated with The Sims, Maxis, or Electronic Arts.' As such, creators are prohibited from using 'any game logos or trademarks, including versions of the plumbob, or key art designs' to promote their creations. While the post stated that EA understands mods are an 'important part' of the player experience and outlined how players can re-enable mods following them being automatically disabled after The Sims 4's newest update, it also established a new set of rules for content creators and modders-and not everyone is happy about them. On July 21, EA published an update to The Sims 4's policy regarding modding and content creation.
