Nobody said anything about infringment. EA does not hold the trademark for the human race simulation genre.  Besides legal minds disagree everyday on any given issue, that's why they get the big bucks, and that's why companies pay big retainer fees, to convince a judge that their interpation of the lw is the correct on.

Maybe some of the fans should give it a go - do a write-up and contact Blizzard [or another company that has decent customer service] and code a sim-type game that is good.  I don't mind shelling out money for something that I like and that isn't designed to screw me over.


Actually, I did write a letter to the dev's of Aion asking them to consider making a sims type of game.  After which, I posted said letter on the bbs. I figured since EA wasn't "getting" what we wanted, if I wrote to the other company who was making the characters look and move the way I'd like to see our sims look and move, maybe my letter would inspire someone...but of course it fell flat.

Long time lurker here, I haven't arr'g the game, don't intend to for personal career reasons, but have a few questions for those of you who have;

1. does it look possible to replace all ea made sims with ones I make myself?

2. is the merge option in this version? I had read earlier reports that we should be able to merge the saved games into one another. I thought this would give us the ability to make our game more like ts2's saving lots.

3. advertising? any signs that the game we buy will be overwhelming with billborads etc.?

4. testingcheatsenabled - is the option for "set to birthday" there? if so, if aging is off, can you age up the sims you are playing?

thanks

How about 2000 plus? Are we talking problems here yet?

Where do I find the fix? I had the one for bv, but since then have a new hard drive and have lost all my fixes. Sorry, don't remember where I got it. Will the one from bv work on this one?
