About Early Access
I can't put early access CC under post, since content thieves will hack it. But I have set up early access for different tiers on store(they cant hack store rn).
I'll put the date of the mod that will be shared for free to the public in the title at least half a month in advance.
Sorry for any convenience.

WIP
I know that people have their reasons for re-uploading and reselling content, and some have even asked me how I create my mods. I don’t mind sharing my workflow, so I’ll use one of my head presets as an example.
Creating a head preset involves multiple steps: modeling, sculpting, retopology, texturing, rigging, and testing. Sculpting alone takes me about 3 to 7 days. For retopology, I add extra edge flow to ensure the details are well-defined. Since I chose to make facial animations less expressive, I didn’t apply too much skin weighting—meaning the topology isn’t perfect, but it still works well in-game.
Texturing takes another 2 to 3 days, where I apply scan data and refine it manually. After that, I test the model in-game under different lighting conditions (day, night, etc.) to ensure it looks natural.
The most difficult and time-consuming part is face rigging. It usually takes me about a week—rigging, opening the game, testing, closing the game, fixing issues, and repeating the process over and over. Sometimes it depends on pure luck, and it can be incredibly frustrating.
When I first started, I shared my mods for free, no matter how much effort I put in. I didn’t expect anything in return—I just wanted everyone to be able to enjoy the mods they wanted and to make LDS and Sims 4 better. But over time, I saw my free mods being stolen, re-uploaded, and even resold by others. It was disappointing and disheartening. That’s why I had to set a price—to deter content thieves.
I hope people can understand my perspective. Imagine spending weeks or even months of your free time working on something, sacrificing leisure and potential income, only for someone else to take it and profit off your work. How would you feel? Wouldn’t you be sad and frustrated? I’m a person too—I have feelings, and I need to make a living, i have to pay for those 3D modeling software(MAYA$1858 USD per year , Zbrush $364 USD per year, Substance $559 USD per year, Photoshop $220 USD per year, I dont use blender to do modeling) .
Because of these content thieves, I’ve had to quietly release small amounts of free content, as some of my longtime followers may have noticed. It’s upsetting that, as the creator, I have to be so cautious just to protect my own work.
I know I can’t stop people from re-uploading my content. There will always be those who want to take without giving anything back. Unfortunately, the only way I’ve found to slow them down is by putting up a paywall, which EA allows it. I know its unfair for those followers who support me, I feel sorry, I have no choice. If you have better idea you can DM me, thank you. But even with that, I’m now considering taking down all my content entirely.
