The Sims 4 Mod Marketplace Everyone's Mad About Is Reportedly Exceeding EA's Expectations https://ift.tt/UmbfNOF The controversial paid mod marketplace recently added to The Sims 4 is apparently exceeding Electronic Arts' expectations, according to a new report from Sims Community . It cited an anonymous "insider" who evidently also leaked accurate details about The Sims 4's Marketplace and Maker Program before it was revealed to the public.

His enjoyment went deeper than simply seeing everything that it had to offer--he was so immersed that the world of Hallownest felt real to him in a way that no other game ever had. He was almost disappointed when he started his second playthrough and found that Hollow Knight's opening area, the Crossroads, had lost the magic. For the first time, he felt like he was navigating a 2D video game level, not an inhabited world.
