Overwolf is the owner of CurseForge, a well-known site for World of Warcraft and Minecraft add-ons and mods, so they have experience with quality content.ĮA is giving modders a place to not only officially host their creations, but to potentially be more recognized and make money in a less direct way. This will be an officially-run CC and mod site, which means a generally safe place for Simmers to download and upload content, although there have been problems with official hubs in the past. The reason for EA's recent crackdown has been made clearer since the Behind The Sims Summit, where it was announced that The Sims will be teaming up with Overwolf to create the new mod hub. However, a larger part of the community welcomed the changes. The announcement about these modding rules shook up modders with paywalls and their fans, as it meant restructuring and re-evaluating their sites and mod releases.
Violating this rule comes with some serious consequences such as account bans, cease and desists, and even account or content termination. This means that mods must be released for free, although there is an allowance to ask for money for early access for a brief period beforehand.
Over the last few months, EA has been making it clear that paying for exclusive mods is a no-no.
