if you knew anything about The Sims or the community as a whole, you'd know that CC is the driving force behind the game. In one shape form or fashion, all Sims 2 Players have custom content. Be it clothing, genetics, furniture, objects, hacks...whatever. Even the person who doesn't have a single downloaded object from any sight, but all EPs and SPs has CC, all be it their CC comes by way of EA directly. So yes, people are going to get up in arms when CC for all this time on TS2 has been relatively "Royalty Free" (Aside from paysites of course) into having to pay to get CC at large for TS3. Next time look at the whole picture of the gernal mindset of everyone instead of passing a misinformed and rather empty headed assumption.

I was under the "empty headed assumption" that these games are supposed to be fun. That we all played them for a diversion from our every day lives. Maybe for one person that means playing the game vanilla style with no add-ons, or maybe it means customizing every single item, action, and character until the game you're playing doesn't even resemble the original release. I don't care which one it is. I personally use a few add-ons to speed up game play and make it easier.

My point was that it's kinda sad that the snarky, close-minded, holier-than-thou attitude of some players/posters had to take over a thread that was full of joy and excitement over the new features. Now I'm part of that. It's frustrating.  Undecided

Stop whining about not being able to mod a game that hasn't even been released and figure out how to do it instead. I know you can. I have faith in the Sims community and I appreciate every piece of custom content and every hack I've ever downloaded. But I don't feel that I'm entitled to them or that EA/Maxis owes me the ability to hack their games. It's their right to "protect" their product from hackers. It's the hackers' jobs to get around that.

I find it really sad that there is such an uproar about custom content instead of excitement about the release. Of course there's going to be a lag for cc release. And if you hackers, mods, and cheat geniuses are so complacent that you won't try the new game, enjoy playing the same game, the same way, until the end of time. We won't miss you.

But to those of you who are dying for a new challenge, Sims3 presents a whole new level, not the same old same old. How cool is it that we can go outside and interact with the world? It's COOL. It's ok to think so! That why we all play this game. Getting snobby and bitter about the fact that EA wants to make money on an intellectual property that they have invested millions of dollars in perfecting won't change the fact that it's FUN to play. It won't change the fact that we shouldn't be buying pirated copies if we want the Sims to thrive.

Could EA make it easier to get cc to us faster? Sure. Are there always going to be issues with game play? Of course. Does EA consistently create better products for us? Didn't game play and graphics satisfaction increase exponentially from the original SIMs to the release of SIMs2? To think that SIMs2 is the pinnacle of what EA can do for us is crazy!

That's my two cents. Commence the trash talk now.
