How would EA go about banning and detecting your account for mods in Sims 4 anyway?

[Guest]

is it really unrealistic outrage when were talking about a pedo mod? 

I mean truthfully  this isn't like some furry mod, or some shit. I really hate necroing threads, but this just irks me, yes ea will probably do jack shit about it, but even still allowing a mod like that  to exist says more about the community than it does ea. truthfully instead of ban hammering accounts ea should just code the sims 4 like the sims 3 when the child love mod was released that you get error codes, and make so the game can literally not have a romance system with sims younger than teens. thats more feasible than banning accounts as the game would literally not have the functionality to allow you boink sim kids.  I personally got offended because as a csa victim, I know just consuming content even if legal is one step closer to actually diddling kids. The fact is you can call me a moral busy body, but the people who create stuff like that, and play stuff like that are just one inch closer to actually offending in irl. this isnt like bdsm, or wanting to fuck andromorphic animals, this is something that happens in real life and has been proven that indulging in that kind of desire is destructive. I am not even personally keen on the mods allowing actual animal functionality like pets, as for furry shit I know thats harmless because cartoon andromorphic animals with human personalities don't exist but people who like to torture puppies to death do. See woof and the zoophile logs, and its a stepping stone to harming actual people irl. I think thats what people dont realize when it comes to the whole moral pearl clutching, that the people who use these kinds of mods have an irl desire to engage in that behavior, and are using the mods to indulge in irl desires. Some probably already have. its not wrong to be offended over that, its not a puritan stand point to say that maybe coding such features in the game is too much.

I think it would take a great effort to actually go and scan every single person's mods folder, not to mention that they actually need to install some kind of spyware/malware on your computer (that's a no-no) to be able to see what you have installed, and people have gigabytes of CAS stuff (i have over 5 gigabytes of CAS stuff... and that is really small compared to other people's mods folder content).

 

So, as stated before, unless someone post something on the gallery that rings an alarm, i don't think EA is going to ban anyone for using mods...

The game scans the mod folder every time it starts. If you have your settings on 'share usage data', then EA knows what mods you're playing with.  They've been doing that since Sims 3. That's how come they came out with Wicked Wicker furniture awhile back and their big push for LGBT EA content. They know what we're doing and they're not going to kill the Golden Goose; Sims 4 is not worth playing without these mods and EA knows it.

That line of reasoning is a hop, skip and a jump away from claiming that performing car jackings or home invasions in games make one more likely to commit Grand Theft Auto or burglary in real life or serves as a reliable indicator of tendencies to offend in real life.

this isnt though saying playting grand theft auto that leads to irl car jackings, this is saying that playing pedo mods means either your attracted to kiddies, or have diddled kids. Idk about you and your level of tolerance for out right degeneracy, but when people hear kids+sex you get a normal guttaral response of disgust, something that lets you subconsciously know its wrong. and the people that are making said pedo mods have openly bragged about being pedos, targeting kids with little to no shame. Shit even mts was founded by a pedo and do you remember the boy love mod from the sims 3 where they tried to make romantic options open between sim adults and kids? I literally wrote a fucking thesis on all the wonderful threads talking about fucking kids that followed. I am normally of little to no policing, but I personally feel if you don't have a problem with people making mods to fuck kids, that speaks more about you than the mod makers themselves, its wrong to diddle kids irl, its triggering to actual csa abuse survivors, and there's no legit reason other than to satisfy the perverted desires of some ViRteRoUs PeDoPhiLe who thinks that they just havent a diddled a kid irl (yet) and keep their fucked up fetishes to mods in games make them so much better, instead of getting actual help. You know in real therapy when it comes to the treatment of sex offenders that their treatments consist on avoiding harmful behaviors that can lead to actual harm of kids right? I don't think any actual therapist would even allow the usage of said mods in video games. but if you fail to realize that, thats your problem not mine, theres a point mod makers shouldnt cross and I think drawing line at literal kiddie diddling and animal raping is generous enough given how other content exists.

If I agree that people using pedo mods are attracted by kids in a sexual way irl, calling people pedo because they disagree with your conclusions, is low and nasty move. And it has nothing to do with initial subject.
