The drama aint over.
May I suggest asking the following:
"If I were to use products of my own to create items for the sims, am I stil entitled to sell these, even though I am using .package to make them possible to be used within the game. Is this legal for me to sell them? Or is it against the law to sell them when they have been made "useable" for game use?"
Or something along those lines.
THAT is what paysites are arguing about. The fact is, they dont ALL use Homecrafter/Bodyshop etc to make their products, they use 3D programs etc.
So we need confirmation if them using other products, but then turning them into .package (useable form for the game) is legal or illegal.
As it all boils down to that.
I am highly against paysites, but that is the little cloud they are hiding behind right now, and we NEED to know if that is illegal or not. We cannot keep saying that what they are doing is illegal 100% until we know 100% for sure that they are- as I said, it all boils down to what EA says about it.
And finding out that one little thing could show more.
Sorry if im not making great sense, but its freezingcold here and typing is hard lol, and im tired >< (even though its 12:24pm in the arvo..)
that comment from the sims 2 was by a Sim master, not a maxoid. sim masters are not employed by ea/maxis so they have no idea what really goes on even if they want to pretend they do. maxoids are the only people that even have the right to speak on behalf of ea. sim masters are simply people that ea thought might do a decent job a moderating that shitty BBS, as you can see they are terrible mistaken. sim master drama llama is an idiot and her posts and bannings calling out members is enough to confirm it. she has no info in ea legal at all.
Actually DramaLlama is a Maxoid- they are employed by EA, they are just one of the developers stuck with the task of watching the BBS with other Simmasters when they arent needed for coding/developing.
