With the ModKit release and players interest in creating mods the question regarding compensation is on most modders’ minds. There are some strict guidelines from Krafton regarding monetization in the latest official Q&A update from the developers. Here’s a quick summary regarding mods & making money.
You Can’t Sell Inzoi Mods
Inzoi does not allow creators to sell their mods. For example, if you created a custom skirt and want to sell it for 5$ – it’s prohibited. All of the mods created for Inzoi must be free-of-charge, which is a good thing for players, however a lot of modders will not consider creating custom content for Inzoi as it can be taxing on their time & energy resources.
You Can’t Put Inzoi Mods Behind A Paywall
While this is a frowned upon practice in the life simulation community already, you can’t put mods that are made for Inzoi behind a paywall. A paywall is any site that requires users to pay real money to get access to the content. Inzoi does not allow mod creators to make money from putting their custom content and mods behind pay walls.
You Can’t Do Early Access (Patreon) for Inzoi Mods
Krafton does not allow you to put your mods or CC on Patreon (or similar sites) behind a 2-3 week paywall. The created item or mod must be accessible and downloadable for free to everyone at the same time if you don’t want to violate Krafton’s Inzoi policy. So, unlike The Sims 4 where a lot of creators make their CC accessible to public and Early Access, Inzoi does not allow that in order to make sure that all players are treated equally.
The Ways You Can Monetize Your Inzoi Mods & CC
Inzoi will not give rewards or monetization from Krafton to modders, but there are still some ways modders can make money from their mods to support their hobby or full-time job as a mod creator.
You can earn some money through ads or donations. Ads can be displayed on a website or most often on other platforms such as YouTube where streamers and content creators earn money by people watching their videos with ads. The other legal way to make money from Inzoi mods is to receive donations – so while the mods & CC have to be free, your supporters can donate you through BuyMeACoffee or subscribe on Patreon to pledge a certain amount each month.
Hopefully you found this article informative and useful! Of course mod creators would like to be able to make money directly from mods, but Inzoi wants to make this game fair for all players. Make sure you check out other news, mods and CC, and bookmark zoigalaxy.com!
