Time to get my sims porn on

Or not, because you can't. Asshole:

In the statement, Thompson says, 'Sims 2, the latest version of the Sims video game franchise ... contains, according to video game news sites, full frontal nudity, including nipples, penises, labia, and pubic hair.' [...]

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."

It's not just the adults that are liberated from their wardrobes. Sims kids can also be nudified, "much to the delight, one can be sure, of pedophiles around the globe who can rehearse, in virtual reality, for their abuse."


For those of you who don't know, a widely-available patch eliminates the blurring that covers nude sims. When used this patch reveals the sexual features of a ken or barbie doll. No nipples, no hair besides that on the head, no genitalia. And while you can do this with children-sims as well as adult-sims, they're just as featureless -- and there aren't any interactions involving children that are remotely sexual.

I don't think Gamespot should've even given this guy this much coverage; he's obviously just trying to capitalize on the GTA:SA controversy in a profoundly idiotic way.
