Tiers & Patreon access
SimSweep has two tiers: Free and Decrypt. Free works with no account. Decrypt unlocks power-user features through Patreon or a giveaway key.
SimSweep is free to use and doesn't require an account. If you want to unlock more, Decrypt is the paid tier, available through Patreon. Here's what each one gets you and how to activate it.
Free#
Free includes everything you need to actually manage your mods:
- Full scanning (including save file cross-reference)

- Tools including 50/50 assist and Check CC
- Backups and export

No account required. Just download and scan.

How to connect Patreon#
- Open Settings and go to the Access tab.
- Press Connect Patreon.
- Your system browser opens to Patreon's login and authorization page.
- After you approve, Patreon redirects back to SimSweep automatically.
- You'll see your Patreon member name and your tier displayed in Settings > Access.
Disconnect at any time by pressing Disconnect on the same screen.
Heads up: If Patreon shows as connected but a feature is still locked, press Disconnect and reconnect. SimSweep caches your Patreon status locally, and occasionally the cache needs a refresh.
Giveaway and trial keys#
SimSweep occasionally gives out keys for giveaways and manual trials. These are not sent after a normal Patreon subscription. If SYVR gave you a key:
- Open Settings > Access.
- Find the Giveaway or trial key section.
- Enter your key in the
SYVR-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXformat. - Press Activate.
If it activates successfully, the key is cached locally and linked to your machine. Press Deactivate key if you need to remove it.
Keys can be revoked, expired, or already claimed. If activation fails, the app tells you why.
Checking your current tier#
Open Settings > Access at any time to see your current access level. If you're not connected, it shows Connect Patreon and the key entry field. If you're connected, it shows your Patreon member name and your active tier.
Locked features in the app show a prompt with Connect Patreon or Have a giveaway or trial key? so you can activate from wherever you are.
