(admitedly, i prefer THAT strat to crappy DRM that chews up your machine) They added a 'Pass' that people who buy the console games can buy, if they bought the game 2nd Hand, so that those folks can then pay and DL the add ons. then charge you full whack for dragonage 2 lol.Īlot of the time, its stratagies. Thats casue they want you to buy that, then get you hooked into the dragonage 'verse. they used to say it was the adult mods, back in the days of sims2, but realy it was all about the money even back then I think ea was pissed becasue of places offering free stuff alongside their pay items. Who Mods for it, who gets Paid for it and who offers it for Free. but i think thats more to do with fave foods and the way they coded the game (to delibrately stop modders, imho) than lack of modding tallent. Its just taking forever to get some things working. most stuff i seen has been taking meshes from the sims medievil and copying them onto similar things from sims3 (or even sims2) with programs like S3mpe (i might have spelled that wrong) Theres a small group of modders that are swapping things about between sims2 and 3, and re-modding things from one side to the other. I belive they made things difficult becasue they wanted to be the only ones making money out of the sims3, then realised that modders were making thisng their own way anyway XD so added support for package files. admitedly core mods are still all highlander on us, but many other things arent. Um, Melody lots of things CAN be ported over. Obviously mods can't be moved but what about custom foods and chairs. (Then again, I'm not convinced, given how similar building and the animations are in the two games, that it is impossible just EA blocked it out to try to get people to move over? But for people like me I ended up missing a lot of it instead. And if we could import custom content, I would love that. No 'only one core mod' even if they do entirely different things, etc. I think my ideal Sims game (so Sims 4?) would be an open world/no or much less loading than either 2 or 3, with the Sims 3 trait system but the Sims 2 store/shop system. In the sense of everything else, not so much. So in that sense, in that we can share games, I did like that about Origin. But once the stuff about the EULA got leaked, I had to tell my friend I was uninstalling it until it removed its liberal scanning policy. I admittedly played Sims 3 on Origin, because it enabled my friend and I to share the games easily. Yeah, I'm quite bummed about how Origin will be needed for Mass Effect 3 & Dragon Age 3, apparently.
