Well that just sucks. I hope it's not going to be as uptight as emphasised, I really do. Those hairstyles are hideous, man.

Here is a portion of the EULA:
Quote from: ELECTRONIC ARTS END USER LICENSE AGREEMENT FOR THE SIMS 3 GAME
2. Intellectual Property Rights and Ownership.
A. Reservation of Rights. You have purchased a limited license to the Software and your rights are limited to the license grant above and subject to this License. You may not otherwise copy, display, distribute, perform, publish, modify, or use the Software or any component of it. You are prohibited from making a copy of the Software available on a network where it could be used or downloaded by multiple users. Except as expressly licensed to you herein, EA and its licensors, as applicable, owns and reserves all right, title and interest in the Software, and all related data, characters, themes, objects, storyline, images, photographs, graphics, animations, video, music, text, and the associated copyrights, trademarks, moral rights and other intellectual property rights therein. This License is limited to the intellectual property rights of EA and its licensors in the Software and does not include any rights to other patents or intellectual property.

This does not say no CC. It says no copying the game, no changing some code of the game and redistributing it (presumably for sale). Derivative works is along the line of EP, not CC.

It's pretty similar to the TS2 EULA:
Quote
Your right to use Tools & Materials is limited to the license grant above, and you may not otherwise copy, display, distribute, perform, publish, modify, create works from, or use any of the Tools & Materials. Without limiting the preceding sentence, you may not modify, reverse engineer, disassemble, license, transfer, distribute, create works from, or sell the Tool, or use the Tools & Materials to further any commercial or unlawful purpose.

I thought that Skadi had already created a new texture and added it to the game and it worked. Plus we have the mods here that are in testing and we know that they have been successful so we know that custom content is possible outside of EA and I really don't see how they could get something in place that could somehow prevent us from being able to mod the game. Pescado and others will have us playing an enjoyable and functional game soon enough.

The sims 3 store is going to be awesome since it will generate tons of revenue to keep many programers on pushing out patches, bug fixes, extra content, and new ways to play!
So, bin another thread someone figured that it cost players 710 dollars over the life of TS2 to buy everything. What is the potential impact of the sims 2 store for people who want to get everything?
The sims 3 store for the first month would cost you 275 dollars for everything that should have been in the box, plus the base game at 70 for the collectors edition.
So EA wants you to pay 345 dollars for the full release day game, otherwise you just have the crappy base version. You want to be cool don't you?
Just think, if they release 20 bucks of stuff a month, plus 2 expansions and 2 stuff packs a year, for 5 years...
345+ 20*12(months)*5(years)+20*2*5+50*2*5
hmm
345+1200+200+500=2245!!!
2245$ compared to 710$
And I am not sure if the guy included the cost of TS3 collectors edition in that 710$, so it may be 640$!!!
Inflation sucks.
Thats a little over 37$ a month. You could play every single SOE online game (EQ, EQ2, vanguard, matrix, etc) and WoW for the just 3 bucks more per month.
