Damn alienware hack
Brynne:
I have been downloading and installing houses in my game today, and I'm blown away by how many have contained the "alienware; everything but the saucer" hack. That will be the only other thing on the list in "clean installer" besides "lot segment for upload" in an unfurnished house. Of course, since I use clean installer I avoid it, but I'm just curious as to why this hack is so prevalent in downloaded houses? What's so "special" about it? I don't mean "what does it do?", I mean, is it some virus-like hack that is sneaking up on people who are uploading these houses, or is it hard for them to detect and/or remove? What's the big deal?
I've also noticed that this alienware thing is never highlighted in red. It just shows up as a game object. Twice. That also makes me wonder about its sneakiness.

I may be totally off on this, but I believe the "Alienware; everything but the saucer" isn't a hack -- it's a MaxoidMonkey creation that can be found here:

I forget what colors it comes in -- green, black, and blue, I believe. If it's showing up in other colors, then it's a hack -- or could be just a recolor.

Brynne:
But why does it show up twice almost every time? And look at this one I just found:
At least one of those is pretty clearly a hack, but now I'm wondering about the "hacked computer" thing. Not just alienware, apparently. And what's with the eye shadow? Are all these hacks?
C.S.:
Maybe the eyeshadow's just a Custom Makeup people create from the Bodyshop?
Brynne:
Doesn't it seem a little odd that eyeshadow and multiple computers (one of which has the word "hacking" in it and it's made by wintermurei, a hacked-objects maker.)would be in a supposedly clean house? There aren't any sims in it, either. Am I just paranoid? ::)
