Fansite SnootySims has found an article on CNN which talks about the allegations made by Jack Thompson that the Sims 2 would show full nudity (see earlier news). In this article CNN reports that Thompson isn't sure he's going to push the ESRB to increase the ratings of the Sims 2 to Mature or Adults Only. He does however believe that Congress will soon hold hearings on the whole issue of ratings and the content of video games. Referring to an article in San Jose Mercury News, Jack Brown of EA is quoted saying "Reasonable people recognize what mods are. [...] A consumer who chooses to use a mod does so without any kind of agreement with the company. There is no nudity. There is nothing improper or vulgar in 'The Sims 2.'"
