TS3 L&P
Kyna:
Sorry, I don't have a bookmarked link, but I remember visiting the BBS recently and seeing a Maxoid mentioning "preferred partner sites". I don't often visit the BBS, and I usually only go to the BBS when there's an interesting link posted here or at one of the other sims sites I visit.
The rumours I mentioned were not at the BBS, and were primarily speculation about what EA meant by "preferred partner sites" & who these preferred sites were. Conclusion was that TSR was probably one of them. Given that TSR is a paid CC site, it was speculated that TS3 CC will only be available through these preferred sites.

I think I saw that, something about the BBS not allowing links to the booty because of it hosting TSR/The Store content or something to that effect? I'm hoping that's just something limited to BBS retardedness, and the speculation beyond that is just rumors gone wild.

Well, the booty doesn't host store content, not that anybody on the BBS is necessarily intelligent enough to understand that. The idea of EA potentially pairing up with TSR is flat-out appalling. Not only would they be suppressing a huge amount of their community by saying "only the people we approve of are good enough to create custom content for your game!", but what about all the younger ages that play the Sims? There are plenty of 12s out there who certainly don't have money to go out and pay for new custom downloads, especially on top of the already fairly pricey game itself.
I certainly hope you're right about rumors gone wild. However, EA has grown increasingly money-grubbing recently, and every time I think they've hit rock bottom they find new lows to reach. ::)

Why did you specifically mention TSR? Do you know about a definite link between EA and TSR beyond the rumours I mentioned?
TSR are making an illegal profit by charging for CC, just like any other paysite.

Didn't EA and TSR partner up for (now dead) EA Land?
