Isn't it a known fact, or somewhat, that beosboxboy is "pro-paysite" ? Could this be why he's arguing,or it seems to me at least, against Nouk? I see it as it reads, as soon as Sims 2 loads up whatever the hell you made, it becomes more or less property of EA.


Of course, EA have yet to test their EULA in a court of law.  It could turn out they would lose if they tried to claim copyright on someone else's work.  Maybe they suspect that would be the case which is why they have not tried to enforce it.  The EULA may be "empty words" written simply to encourage us to share freely.

Well, first try it with the CD in to make sure that was the problem, then let us know.  It could be something else.

Use the game in the authorised way Cheesy  Sorry I don't happen to know of a way round it myself.

That used to be a problem with the no-CD crack, it stopped you using build mode

Hacked objects?  Custom Careers?  New animations?  No way!  Almost everything you all love to download is in violation of the EULA.

Remember that when you ask Maxis to enforce their EULA...


Exactly the point I have been trying to make all along.  It was all very well encouraging fellow players and creators to rethink pay content at a community level, but once everyone started hassling EA to get involved I got an ominous feeling that it would all end in tears.

If thats how you feel Inge..

Your site and attitude was a nice change from others, you created postive change and supported free sites which needed to be done. I strongly hope that you take a break from things and come back to FFFS. Smiley


Thanks for saying that, but I am afraid there is no Federation any more.

EA doesn't care much on paysites. If they did then the situation would be more controlled.
But since the internet is huge and there are thousands of paysites its hard to take action agaisn't all.


So far they haven't even bothered to put one notice on their site confirming their disapproval.  And they have them in their fansite list too.

EA are probably just regarding the whole thing as an extension of the game.  A game about a game, as I am fond of saying.  That's what I think some of the supporters of the filesharing sites feel too - they're having so much fun dressing up as pirates they'd be devastated if all the paysites became free sites and they lost their reason to do it.

I've decided I can't be bothered to stand in the line of fire any more just in order to be EA's unpaid legal department.  I no longer run a freesite campaign forum, and I am taking up some of my old paysite subscriptions.

As far as I can see the community is in a far sorrier state now with site-hackings, guestbook trolling, mistrust and bitching than it ever was before this free content activism started and I'm pretty sick of the whole subject now.

It would have been an even more hilarious joke if the joke was we were all fooled into thinking it was a joke due to being posted on April 1st and it turned out it wasn't, after all.  Is that what they call a double bluff?

The trouble with the Sims community is that there *is* always something unpredictable, bizarre or controversial going on.  It makes it very easy to pull off a good April Fools joke Smiley

They're transparent floor tiles, and the roof is a floor too.  It requires a bit of cheating.  There is a tutorial to show you how to make a shaped roof out of floor tiles here http://mikeinside.modthesims2.com/building/curvedroof/index.html

Just to clarify, my cloning policy is pretty much a no policy policy - ie do what you want with my stuff Cheesy  Already several people have taken on the task of updating and developing my old hacks.

Lol, from the resource list it's "extract".  "Export" is from inside the plugin Cheesy

Don't forget as from the Pets release of SimPE there is now a special tool for collecting the 4 resources so you don't need to find the GMDC, GMND, SHPE, and CRES the long way.
