Electronic Arts Slams Sims
2 Paedophile Claims on SPOnG.com (thanks Mike Martinez) has the response from EA
about recent claims ( story) of improper content in The Sims 2:
“This is nonsense,” said Jeff Brown, spokesman for EA. “Reasonable people
understand there is nothing improper in the game. Reasonable people recognise
what mods are. A consumer who chooses to use a mod does so without any kind of
agreement with the company. There is no nudity. There is nothing improper or
vulgar in the Sims 2.”
Brown continued, “Reasonable people understand the San Jose Mercury News is not
responsible for vulgar things that people doodle into the margins of the
paper.”

That isn't the "mod" Mr. Brown is talking about here, anyway. He's referring to specific mods that change the models and skins of the characters beneath the blur to be anatomically correct, or remove dating age restrictions, etc. It's already been acknowledged in another interview that beneath the blur is nothing but smooth mannequin-esque bodies with absolutely no skin detail whatsoever. They compared it to Barbie and Ken. Nobody cares that you can remove the blur -- there's nothing there to see.
What Mr. Brown is outraged over is that Thompson actually accuses them of supporting pedophilia and other nonsense because of (entirely user-created) mods out there that remove certain hardcoded restrictions on dating/sex age. Personally, i would be outraged as well. It's a disgusting accusation from a disgusting, petty man.
Hell, even in the Sims University expansion pack, they replaced beer with juice, because of cleanliness zealots. Thompson needs to know when to stop.
