Sims 2 Hacks

Gamasutra reports on an interesting development in the Sims 2 world - hacked objects that are downloaded via shared houses on the Sims website.

...players have found objects acting abnormally and certain expected mechanics of the game behaving strangely -- or not working at all. A magic espresso machine that fills all a Sim's Needs meters to the brim will appear out of nowhere, for instance, or social workers will stop intervening in poor parenting situations.

The cause of the confusion lies in the way the game inherits objects included in ready-to-use houses that players can upload and download from EA's Lot Exchange site.

If a player who's created or installed the hack in his or her own game contributes a house to the Exchange, anyone who downloads that house is unwittingly installing every hack its creator was using. Then any houses they upload to the lot will be similarly "infected," allowing the modifications to pass from player to player unknown.
