The Sims 3 gets an 'uncensor' patch before it's released photo

What's the first thing any self-respecting gamer should do when legally purchasing the latest PC game? That's right -- make everyone and everything as naked as they can possibly get. With that in mind, you'll be thrilled to know that a patch is already available to remove the censoring of certain sensitive areas in The Sims 3. Not that anybody's playing it already, right? I mean, how would you get hold of the game early?

This should be great news to anybody who hasn't heard of pornography or sex. I know you're all frantically downloading the patch while fumbling around in your sweaty Scooby Doo underpants as I speak, so I'll sign off and let you chaps get to it. You dirty, dirty, fu[censored].

[Thanks, David]

Do the designers actually bother drawing the nipples and vaggies?

Duh, this just proves that Jack Thompson was right all along about Will Wright and EA being in willful collaboration with the porn industry. *eye roll*

Well, it's not like it's really hard to turn the alpha all the way up on that "mosaic blur" material they use. So...saw this one coming a mile away.

Monodi: Yeah, I'd imagine it's good to have anatomy on their demo-reels. Even if the green crystal thing above the head isn't an actual piece of the human body.

The fact that I can name where your avatar is from is insane. I used to play that game non-stop almost every day as a kid.

So did the patchers render the private parts themselves? Otherwise, why wouldn't EA just not render theme if they didn't want this inevitable controversy. (IE make them black holes).

Ok I just found a really fucking creepy quote on the message board for it:

A demi-censored Uncensored Patch!!! Anyway this is better than no nude at all and so interesting enough. I have to install the game to my notebook to avoid my daughter who plays the censored game. Thanks mate.

How the heck did they release a uncensor patch for the game when it hasn't even been released? I don't get it.

Also Jim, did you really need to censor the header image? That woman has no nipples, so it doesn't really matter.

Jim was joking in regards to "how did this happen??" The game has been leaked for almost 3 weeks now.

oddest thing about the patch is that it reveals that sims shit through their clothes.

Are we still pretending to be ignorant on the games release?

Oh we are... How did they do that?

Looking at the screenshot in the link, doesn't look like there's any actual nipple or genitalia action. So it's basically like a barbie doll.

I just find the idea of them having to draw an areola and clitoris to be much work for what they really need.

Interesting that we fear female Sims polygon nipples as much as we do the real ones. BEWARE OF FEMALE NIPPLES!!!

Voyeurism plays a large part in the Sims popularity. Just wait until Sims#:Holodeck edition for some truly sad mods to satisfy the voyeur. Time of the month smelling panties mod, which will happen, and many will try just because it's there.

Well now. If the hot coffee mod fiasco in GTA:San Andreas was enough to get an AO then how come Sims 3, a game where all you DO is simulate naked people having sex, can be released here???

Won't SOMEBODY think of the CHIIIIILDREN and ban this sick filth?!

...Lol. I randomly came across this article via google. I think everyone should catch a clue as to what the main difference between this and xxx-rated games are.

Giving this an AO rating is like selling computers in an adult store. How so? Just as porn is acquired from web searching, this patch is downloadable from third parties and NOT distributed by EA or Maxis. Bawing about it is like bawing about your son fapping to softcore porn on Cinemax when you bought premium channels AND let him stay up to 2 AM on Fridays.

Invest in some nanny cockblockage if the idea of people making things sexual invokes fear in your poor wittle hearts.
