EA continue to clarify by stating that mods cannot be sold, licenses, or rented, nor can they contain features "that support monetary transactions of any type." That said, mod developers can "recoup their development costs via passive advertisements and donations." The policy changes detail that creators must not promote their mods "in a way that suggests they are endorsed by or affiliated with The Sims, Maxis, or Electronic Arts."

It also explained to readers how to go about reenabling their mods after they were automatically disabled following the most recent update to the game. In the post, EA acknowledges how mods are an important part of the gameplay experience for most of The Sims 4 community, and it supports this.
