Overview
The Sims 4 Marketplace is where you can browse and purchase Kits, Maker Packs, Expansion Packs, Game Packs, and Stuff Packs. It’s designed to make downloading content faster, easier, and more flexible. This guide explains how the Marketplace works, how Moola is used, where to find the Marketplace in-game, and what changes mean for your existing content and Mods.
What is the Marketplace in The Sims 4?
The Sims 4 in-game Store has been upgraded with the launch of The Sims 4 Marketplace. For now, The Sims 4 Marketplace is available on PC only, with console launching in the coming months. In the Marketplace, players can buy Maker Packs, Kits, Expansion Packs, Game Packs, and Stuff Packs.Maker Packs are community created content Packs available only on The Sims 4 Marketplace. They vary in size from three to fifty Items and are made up of either Build/Buy or Create a Sim content. Made by Makers (official Sims community content creators), these Packs are quality approved by The Sims team, so the content is malware-free and 100% safe to download. With the Marketplace launch comes The Sims 4’s virtual currency, Moola.- Maker Packs and Kits can only be purchased with Moola.
- From March 17, 2026, for all PC players, Kits will be available to buy only through The Sims 4 Marketplace with Moola. Console players can purchase Kits on store platforms until the Marketplace launches in the coming months.
- Expansion Packs, Game Packs, and Stuff Packs can be purchased on the Marketplace or on your preferred platform’s digital storefront, but only with real-world currency.
The Marketplace is different from The Sims 4 Gallery. The Gallery is a place for players to share their creations with other Simmers and will still function as usual in the game. For more info on using the Gallery, check out our guide.
Improved storage options
With the introduction of the Marketplace and Maker Packs, players will have more options for downloading this content. Maker Packs and Kits can be downloaded on demand, without the need for players to restart the game to begin using it.Marketplace restrictions
To use The Sims 4 Marketplace, you must be online. You can still play The Sims 4 offline, but the only part of the Marketplace available offline is your Collection. For Teen players and younger, you’ll need parental spending permissions on your EA Account to buy Moola. Check out our guide for more info.Can I still use Mods?
You can still use Mods and custom content in the same way as before. The Marketplace connects all players to some of the community’s favourite Makers so you can download content 100% safely.
