Terms of Use

Sharing my mods

If you want to share one of my mods, please link to its original release post. Keep my files out of mirrors, mod packs, shared Mods folders, and download bundles unless I’ve given you permission.

Translations

You’re welcome to translate my mods without asking first. Share your translation as a separate translation-only file so players can download the original mod from me. If your translation needs to include any of my original mod files, please ask first.

Edits, fixes, and add-ons

Feel free to edit my mods for your own game. You can share a separate compatibility patch, tuning override, or add-on that players install alongside the original mod. Ask me first if you want to distribute a full edited copy or include my original scripts, animation clips, or pose assets in your download.

Early access

You’re welcome to work on translations, fixes, or add-ons privately during early access. Please wait until the specific version you worked from is freely available to everyone before you share your work publicly. Keep early-access mod files private.

When you publish community work

• Credit MapleBell for the original mod and link to its release post. List the mod version your work supports.
• Label your work as unofficial and identify yourself as the author of the translation, fix, or changes.
• Keep the download free and accessible without a paid membership or an ad gate.
• Keep malicious code out of your files, and don’t use my work to harass or harm others.

Screenshots, videos, and streams

Feel free to show my mods in your gameplay, screenshots, videos, or streams. If you include a download link, please use the original release post.

Permissions and support

For permission requests, contact me with the mod name, version, what you’d like to share, and where you plan to post it. For help with an unofficial edit or add-on, contact the person who made it.

These terms cover my original work. Game content and third-party files follow their own terms. EA’s policy on The Sims 4 mods.

Mods and your saves

My mods are made for fun and come as they are. Game updates can break them, and I can’t promise a fix, a reply or a date. Please keep a backup of your saves. As far as the law allows, I’m not responsible for lost saves or other problems that come from using a mod.
