Executive Summary

Many Sims players and creators lose or miss proper attribution when rooms are downloaded and reshared, which frustrates creators, complicates monetization and forces streamers to manually track credits; this pain affects an estimated 15M active Sims players and the growing subset who make and share builds. The lack of reliable, automated crediting reduces discoverability for creators and increases dispute risk for content creators who showcase builds publicly. You could build a lightweight desktop app/browser extension or web service that scans downloaded room files, combines metadata extraction with computer-vision asset matching to identify original builders, auto-saves creator credits into the savefile and produces one-click, shareable credit snippets for streams and uploads. It would integrate with popular hosting/mod sites to fetch creator profiles and offer a freemium workflow where power users get pro integrations and batch-processing. The market is timely and sizable — roughly $150M TAM (15M players × $10 ARPU/year) with a low-competition niche and high revenue potential (market score 68, revenue potential 88/100), driven by the creator-economy and increased streaming of builds. Advances in computer vision and metadata extraction make reliable reverse-identification feasible now, so early entry can capture a meaningful slice of demand. You can differentiate by using a hybrid metadata-first + CV fallback approach, tight integrations with hosting platforms, and exportable credit formats that reduce friction for streamers and creators. Key challenges are platform/API access, copyright/ownership disputes and building trust with EA and creators, but transparent heuristics, opt-in partnerships and a clear dispute workflow can mitigate those risks.

Market Opportunity

Track who built downloaded Sims rooms and auto-save creator credits targets a $150M = 15M active Sims players × $10 ARPU per year total addressable market with low saturation and a year-over-year growth rate of 6% YoY — growth of user-generated content communities and creator economies (industry trend from Newzoo/Statista reports on UGC gaming communities).

Key trends driving demand: Creator economy growth — more players create and share builds, increasing demand for discoverability and attribution tools.; Streaming and social sharing of builds — streamers and video creators need quick, accurate credits to avoid disputes and to promote creators.; Advances in computer vision and metadata extraction — improved accuracy makes reverse-identification of assets feasible for consumer tools.; Community moderation and IP concerns — platforms and creators want transparent provenance which drives demand for attribution tooling..

Key competitors include The Sims Resource (TSR), Mod The Sims, GalleryCredit (concept competitor).
