Nightlife: Censor Blur won't die!!!
Renatus:
Same here, dizzy-two. I could live with the blur for the whole silly cartoony aspect of the game if it didn't slow my poor laptop down to the speed of a snail over broken glass with it on in, say, a dorm, where more than one sim may be showering/using the loo at once. It causes a major performance hit, so off it goes. I'm going to be preeeetty unhappy if I can't find a way to turn it off with NL.
Motoki:
Ditto for me. I think the whole woohoo thing is far more risque than someone taking a shower in the nude with plastic barbie doll non genitalia and no body hair. I mean gee two people get under a bed and roll around under the sheets and a woman can get pregnant from doing this. Gee, I wonder what they are doing. ::)
I guess the ratings board feels the thinly veiled and heavily implied sex with giggles and fireworks and that can lead to pregnancy is more acceptable than non sexual, non explicit genitalia-less body hair-less nudity. That's pretty much saying anything is okay as long as there is no nudity under any circumstances, including infants and toddlers being bathed or having their diapers changed.
I think there's this underlying idea somehow in Western society and definitely it's heavy in American society, that nudity=sex. Having lived in Japan for a time, I can tell you there they have public baths and show bathing with nudity on television during the daytime. To them bathing is bathing, which you obviously do nude (duh) and sex is sex and they are two separate things.
As for people thinking pedophiles play the game to interact with children sexually that's just ignorance and willfull ignorance at that, but people do that kind of stuff all the time. How many times do people scream about how terrible some book or movie is when it turns out those people haven't even read or seen the damned thing and flat out refuse to do so.
Brynne:
Oh, please dear God I hope there is a way to remove the blur. I'm installing the game tonight, and I want to be able to see my beautiful custom skins!
If I lived in England, my son would be old enough to play the game. You said it was age 7, right, Inge? But Jamie happened to look at my laptop as two sims jumped under the covers, and he asked what they were doing. Now, he has Asperger's, and is extremely literal. If I would have told him what they were doing, he would walk around school talking about sex and going "honk! honk!". And I'd get yet another note from the teacher. ;D
I, too, find it insulting that we apparently have to be shielded from barbie doll (or *gasp!* anatomically correct) nudity. Especially on the babies. What sicko thought we needed that? And we can't see them naked, but we have to make our sims woo hoo with 30 others. Or in public. It's crazy! So it's not the sex, it's the genitalia, apparently. Although calling sex "woohoo" is a weak attempt at protecting the kiddies from what is really going on under those covers .
So, I assume I shouldn't put the userStartup.cheat file back in when I install? Shouldn't typing "help" in the cheat box show the cheat for changing the censor grid, like it does in Uni, or did they leave it out altogether?
RainbowTigress:
I am curious Brynne, what did you tell him?
From what they said on SnootySims.com, they have removed the cheat altogether.
nectere:
Actually I think the issue of nudity has more to do with puritan efforts than an equation to sex. Nudity is bad, in fact in the Christian bible it was bad when Adam and Eve discovered they were nude, they were in fact ashamed because they were nude, it had nothing to do with procreation. That's why nude beaches and nudist colonies are so taboo, not because anything goes on, but because of nudity. Which is rather odd when you consider the fact that Barbies can in fact be undressed to a state of nudity, it seems with all the anti nude obsessions that they would have painted underclothes since its not like they really sell underwear and bras for Barbies anyway…
You can be rest assured though that the censor blur will more than likely be the first mod for NL, from various creators.
