Haha - now I *know* EA use SimPE!
Inge:
They had to take down their Ford Fusion cos it was overriding their Ford Focus. That means they forgot to enter new GUIDs. If they were using their usual internal tools that would be automatic, not a conscious process like we have to use with SimPE.
Emma:
They have been using creator stuff for years-look how they stole your lockable doors Inge! Oh yeah, but it was 'theirs' in the first place due to you using their objects to make them, so they weren't stealing at all. ::)
dizzy:
It could be that it's more convenient for certain things like cloning.

Agreed. Does anyone else remember a site called C&C something or other back in the Sims 1 days? Quite a few things in the Sims 2 base game bear an unmistakable resemblance to their hacked objects. It seems that EA makes a habit out of copying custom content.
Inge:
Actually I once stated on the BBS that EA were welcome to use any objects or ideas of mine freely if they wished, because including stuff with the game was the best way to make it available to as many players as possible. If they took me up on that, it's not stealing.
Actually they implemented the locking quite differently from the way I designed mine anyway, so I don't think they did copy me - might have been flattering if they had :)
