This one is from an interview, dated Feb. 17, 2003, with Gordon Walton. Headline quote is "8. Will custom-made objects etc. from The Sims 1.0 (and expansions) be compatible with TSO? "While we are planning custom content, the items used for The Sims 1.0 will not be directly compatible with TSO. We will work on tools as part of custom content to allow players the ability to create content though."

Are you saying we shouldn't have brought the documents to the attention of players? In any case, you are perhaps right that they will delete the documents now, so peeps should download these docs for their personal use and for posterity. Not sure what your point is.

(topic just above this one). Sorry for the confustion.

It's also telling, to me at least, as to what happened. Look at what they said about expecting a huge target audience ... wow they did crappy market research didn't they? It also indicates that EA was indeed *expecting* a huge number of subscribers, and when that didn't pan out they basically tried to cut their losses on TSO in a way that didn't negatively impact The Sims brand. A series of poor decisions, it seems to me, but they probably don't care very much once The Sims 2 comes out.
