Raking Muck In The Sims Online

Posted by simoniker on from the extra-extra-read-all-about-it dept.

Dr. Spork writes "According to a Salon article [ad click-thru required], after launching a newspaper website chronicling tawdry dealings in the Sims Online city of Alphaville, Peter Ludlow, a professor of philosophy at the University Of Michigan, had his Sims Online account terminated by EA/Maxis, the company behind the service. 'Censorship', charges Ludlow, who has exposed dealings such as underage cyber-prostitution and extortion of simoleans (the Sims currency, exchangable on eBay for real-life money)."

    A friend of mine asked how he could change the default Sim language from French to english. Not knowing that the Sims speak jibberish.
