Maeyanie used 3rd party software to access the skins and models on the disc to created the topless avatar, and turns out there was a nipple on the disc!!!!! Of course you needed 3rd party software, programming know-how, and it only worked on the PC version.... but still, For SHAME!

If you want a quick re-cap of all the info leading up to this, click here.

I bring all this up 2 months after it happened because the modder recently gave an interview on the excellent site GamePolitics.com, and her response to one question I think sums up the murky water of user-created mods.

From interview:

CM: Do you think companies should be held responsible for content discovered by modders?

Maeyanie: In the case of content in the game waiting to be unlocked by a certain button-sequence or whatever, yes, they put it there. In the case of mods requiring third-party software, downloads from the Internet, and other things, absolutely not. The ability to add content to a game is a great thing, and leads to much greater replayability (if that's a word) and all-around fun. Just because some people like me "abuse" this ability to add "evil" content based on a single culture's narrow definitions of what is and isn't appropriate isn't the fault of the developers.
