The problem with making highly idiot-proof, user-friendly meshing tools available to the masses is the same problem we've already seen with TSR Workshop (or better yet, BodyShop.) You exponentially increase the amount of useless, nonsensical, redundant, and butt-ugly crap dumped on the custom content market.
I used to think it'd be neat if EA released their proprietary tools, until I realized the same would apply and we'd see an endless ocean of combination barbecue/shower/stereo objects, or mods to make your Sim get a promotion by dancing the Macarena naked on the roof of their house.
How patronising is this? I'm sorry Ambular, you personally have a lot of respect from me, but this kind of attitude makes me want to vomit. You don't HAVE to download everything out there, you know. But to remove the possiblity to create things from those who WOULD LIKE TO LEARN is totally idiotic. That's the attitude that says "this guy Einstein isn't good enough to be a patent clerk," or "We don't want a cripple wandering around the halls of Cambridge, being needy and doing slow maths when we have all those HEALTHY and WEALTHY potential professors. Dismiss Hawking." I am SO SICK of people who say "Oh, no, I can't possibly write a tutorial for noobs using the CURRENT version of SimPE or Blender, it would let the plebs into the house."

And I would LOVE a mod to make my Sims dance the Macarena naked on the roof of the house.
No, I just have to spend hours wading through all the crap to find the small percentage that's worth downloading.
You know what, all I ask is that some actual learning, understanding and effort is required. The trend--not just in Sims modding, it's everywhere--seems to be toward big shiny buttons marked 'Fuck thinking or doing any work, just click here,' and it irks me. In Sims terms, that kind of simplicity means content that the creator doesn't understand, can't offer support for and won't be able to fix if it breaks.

Why would pirates unite and create CC? Sounds like they would all hold hands and sing Kumbaya.
