Sims 2 Under Fire

Miami Attorney, Jack Thompson claims that a cheat code contained in the Sims 2 makes the game seem worse than Grand theft Auto, and is “a pedophiles paradise.” In a statement, Thompson says, “Sims 2, the latest version of the Sims video game franchise contains, according to video game news sites, full frontal nudity, including nipples, penises, labia, and pubic hair.”

“The nudity placed there by the publisher/maker, Electronic Arts, is accessed by the use of a simple code that removes what is called ‘the blur’ which obscures the genital areas. In other words, the game was released to the public by the manufacturer knowing that the full frontal nudity was resident on the game and would be accessed by use of a simple code widely provided on the Internet.”

Electronic Arts, publisher of The Sims 2, reponded by saying “this is nonsense. We’ve reviewed 100 percent of the content. There is no content inappropriate for a teen audience. Players never see a nude sim. If someone with an extreme amount of expertise and time were to remove the pixels, they would see that the sims have no genitals. They appear like Ken and Barbie.”

“The sex and the nudity are in the game. That’s the point. The blur is an admission that even the ‘Ken and Barbie’ features should not be displayed. The blur can be disarmed. This is no different than what is in San Andreas, although worse.”
