This is most certainly "not funny" to me. You may not understand fully the impact of these hacks, in which if a couple of codes could screw up your entire game. I'm sure most of us are familiar with the "Legacy Challenge" started on Maxis' BBS boards, in which I have put a lot of fun hours into and I do not want to have an anxiety attack every time I go to download a sim house, thinking that there might be some sort of hack introduced into my game, where could either mess up everything Maxis has put into making the game challenging therefore I can't make my sim do the labor of restocking the fride, waiting until they are adults to have children, and emptying the toilet, rendering my whole Legacy Challenge useless as no hacks are allowed. I'm sure you are aware of the Sims 1 game, and yes, I did have the "Rejuvinator" which replenished all needs, and used the "rosbud;!;!" cheat which gave you money, but because you now have these cheats you now take out the whole aspect of "keep your sim's needs up and have them get promoted to earn money" and you think for the first couple of weeks, "Wow! Cool! I don't have to do anything now! HORRAY!" Which shortly turns into, "Oh. I don't have to do anything. YAWN." So, all in all, this is not a joking subject. I'm happy that Jfade and other good people make a program to scan this. If you don't want these in your game, it should be your choice.
