Wizard Posted July 23, 2005 Posted July 23, 2005 Idiotcy strikes again! (Full details at link)The Sims 2 is a "life simulator." In the game, players steer their digital beings around their cyberlives. Actions include everything from the spectacular (getting married, having children, receiving promotions at work) to the mundane (cooking microwaved meals, going to the bathroom, mopping the floor). Such activities, as in real life, sometimes require nudity. EA circumvents inappropriateness by "blurring" out the nether regions, almost to a comical sense. Knowing that the game is popular among all ages, EA has even taken steps to ensure that Sims fans aren't exposed to indecent depictions. In the recent expansion pack, The Sims 2 University, gamers can send their teenage sims off to college. However, instead of packing the expansion with "keggers" and "reefer," EA chose to use juice and bubble blowers. Thompson doesn't seem to care. He cites a cheat code that can remove the blur that covers the nether regions. "The nudity placed there by the publisher/maker, Electronic Arts, is accessed by the use of a simple code that removes what is called 'the blur' which obscures the genital areas. In other words, the game was released to the public by the manufacturer knowing that the full frontal nudity was resident on the game and would be accessed by use of a simple code widely provided on the Internet." Unlike GTASA. The Sims IS a truely moddable game.
Madi Posted July 23, 2005 Posted July 23, 2005 Thompson should just stop , hes fighting a battle he cant win!
Gryph Posted July 23, 2005 Posted July 23, 2005 This is the worst fallout of the GTA:SA scandal. Now people think the video game industry is vunerable.
Weirdy Posted July 23, 2005 Posted July 23, 2005 it's all because one conservative democrat senator wants to show how wholesome she is before running for president
Agozer Posted July 23, 2005 Posted July 23, 2005 flocking great, Thompson is at it again. Somebody kill him already.
suvo Posted July 23, 2005 Posted July 23, 2005 wtf is up with people these days ' hot coffee now this crap , geez some people are horny
Lucandrake Posted July 23, 2005 Posted July 23, 2005 (edited) You guys do know that when its uncensored (at least the version my sister plays) nothing shows right? Edited July 23, 2005 by Drake
Agozer Posted July 23, 2005 Posted July 23, 2005 IFAIK, to see everything, you still need to install that Hot Coffee mod, so nothing shows without it.
suvo Posted July 23, 2005 Posted July 23, 2005 yeah , its lame aswell..... i dont see the point why people make these gay little mods and make it with nude people in it :/ well its pathetic but we cant stop them
BlackKnight Posted July 23, 2005 Posted July 23, 2005 On the other hand, I've never taken a liking to the Sims, but if it is a life simulator, might as well have everything eh? Still I just can't get into the game, so who cares.

But if people start attacking user created content then that's not a good thing. Thompson is a class act opportunist and shit head. He'll the ambulance chaser of the game industry.
