I don't understand the logic if they did. Wouldn't aiding and abetting third-party modders put a choke hold on EA's aspiration to make people pay for additional content?
As dim as EA can be at times, I think they're fully aware of the impact that 3rd party custom content has had on the longevity of their product. Also, if they wanted all additional content to come from them, I would imagine that would entail a lot more man hours and money than if they let the community make its own stuff. I think the store is more gravy to them rather than an attempt to completely stifle the CC community.
TrapperJohn:
In the past, at least, they have recognized CC as a good thing, but that may have been while relatively sane Maxis was in charge. I would hope that they just see the store as an additional source of income, because they CAN, rather than trying to stop 3rd party CC as many seem to fear. There will be CC whether EA likes it or not, and unless they like footbullets more than Jona does (and I'm not saying they don't), they most likely won't actively try to stop it.

Definately something up here...

I really have to give TSR credit. An impressive number of people seem to read the following sentence and come away with "EA is helping us".

Development of the tool started as soon as we returned from our week at EA in January for the Creator Camp.
It's not bad, I guess, assuming the reader has no ability whatsoever to see through textual bullshit.
I keep checking that link every time someone posts a "Why is EA helping TSR!?" message trying to figure what they're seeing that I'm not. If it's not this sentence, WTF is it? Genuinely curious.

I really hate the limited, and crappy wall hangings that are available in TS3. I miss my custom paintings and recolours.
It's awfully difficult to make a nice, unique room from house to house. Of course, I'm being impatient - because there's no CC (yet) available. But would it have killed Eaxis to include just a touch more items for decorating and furnishing rooms so that they don't all look the exact same? CAST is wonderful for recolours but, how many times can I stick that stupid picture of sunflowers up on the wall?
Something like this is just impossible. Why did they remove the feature for placing wall hangings higher and lower??
Also, can you no longer make Sims paint custom paintings on the easel? I keep levelling my painting Sim up, hoping the interaction to paint a custom picture comes up. Of course it never does.
It is totally bewildering to me that EA would finally give us obvious feature additions in The Sims 2 that they overlooked for years, only to release a "new and improved" version which lacks these features all over again.
