The Sims Creator Program FAQ

Do I need to only create Sims content?

Nope! We welcome creators who make Sims-related content, as well as those whose content is adjacent (cozy games, lifestyle, design, storytelling, humor). If your creativity aligns with The Sims, you can request to apply.

Are Sims Creator Program members paid?

The program includes a mix of unpaid and paid opportunities, and participation is entirely at the creators’ discretion.

Receiving early access or creator benefits does not automatically mean content is paid or commissioned. When creators participate in paid, sponsored, or commissioned campaigns, this will always be clearly communicated in advance and requires appropriate paid disclosures based on region and platform.

Are there expectations around how creators talk about The Sims?

No. Creators are encouraged to share their honest feedback — positive or critical — as long as it complies with EA’s Trust & Safety Guidelines and applicable platform rules. Participation in the program does not dictate opinions.

What is the difference between The Sims Creator Program and the EA Creator Network?

They’re made to work in tandem! The Sims Creator Program upholds the values, goals, and perks that serve our Sims creators. The Sims Creator Program operates using the EA Creator Network as one of its platforms to provide the perks and opportunities under the program, and it’s one of the channels where once approved as a Sims creator, you can expect to hear from our team.
