EA Data Logging - Ambitions & Patch
chann:
Data Logging/Telemetry is responsible for producing the Sims3Logs.xml and DeviceConfig.log files in the user folder, right? Does it do any more than that?

I don't see the fuss. I've just applied the patch to my base game (no EPs yet), and Data Logging is disabled by default. You have to actually enable it yourself and the tooltip clearly states it sends anonymous data to EA.
And you actually believe them?

I also note the following with interest in the patch information.
Quote
*Players who play The Sims 3 with game modifications can now create a folder in which to place their game modifications. The folder should be located here:
C:\Documents and Settings\YourComputer\My Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Mods
*When Mods are placed in the official Mod folder, a notification will appear to remind players that Mods are installed.
*Placing Mod packages into the Mod folder is an officially sanctioned way to bypass assembly signing verification. The Resource.cfg file must be placed in this folder in order for the modifications to work correctly.
*When Mods are installed that are incompatible, the player will receive a message notifying them of the error.
*Additional bug fixes to existing features
I wonder if they'll try to make AM incompatible?
I don't think they will necessarily target AM deliberately making it incompatible, but sounds like they have done what should have been done in the first place, made it easier to install mods, not that the current method is all that complicated.

Yeah, and I have a lovely bridge for sale in a pristine Florida location...

So, it is basically Securom only semi-visible?
Securom is only included in Sims 3 if you buy/download the Digital version.

I guess the main question is, could they take any info on downloads, and attack people legally over pirated store content? Like a witch hunt?
That's my main fear anyways.
Would it be possible to disable it with AM? In the mean time, I am not letting the game touch the Internet.
