If you are a parent of an underage teen player of a ''The Sims'' game you should be aware that the player community has developed many modifications to the game that are easy to find by anyone who can use Google to search the Web. Most of these modifications fit the "T for Teen" rating of the game, but some mods are more R- or M-rated. (Nothing X-rated is possible with The Sims 3. Wrll atleast with this style) The main intent of this article is to equip responsible parents with the knowledge and techniques to ascertain whether your children might be using any game mods that you might object to. Remember, the developers and publishers of the game, and the player community at large, are not responsible for protecting your children from material that you might prefer they not be exposed to. Only parental oversight on your part can ensure that your kids are playing game content that you approve of.

'''Mosaic-Blur Removal''' is the general term covering [[mod]]s which remove the censoring blur in Sims games.


==The Sims==
'''Mosaic-Blur Removal''' is the general term for covering [[mod]]s which remove the censoring blur in Sims games.
Removing the blurred pixels from the Sim in the first game was relatively simple and there was no need for a mod to do this. To remove the pixels, enable the '''move_objects on''' cheat and move a Sim away from a bathtub, an enclosed shower, or a love bed. The censor will remain where it is and the Sim will be nude. The effects only lasts until the interaction/activity of the object is completed or the object that the Sim used is deleted, after which time the Sim will return to normal attire.

There have been early attempts at removing the mosaic blur effect when showering or using the toilet, but it involved a hack, which is a complete destructive replacement of some core game files for ''The Sims 3''. Now a [[mod]] has been developed that non-destructively removes the mosaic blur effect.


Note that by default, a naked Sim has a 'barbie-doll' skin so there is nothing naughty or provocative to see if you apply the .package mod to remove the mosaic blur. Also, when sitting on the toilet a Sim does not remove its underwear. So if you find the default mosaic blur annoying or even painful (some people are actually given headaches by the effect), you don't have to worry about being considered lecherous. Unless of course you also [[Realistic_Skins_(The_Sims_3)|apply mods that create more realistic skins]] and mods that provide "nude" or "sheer" clothing, but even then it's a personal and cultural choice whether such mods are lewd or merely natural and realistic.
By default the texture for a Sim's naked body contains no genital detail and removing the pixel effect does not reveal any explicit or graphic detail. Also, when sitting on the toilet, Sims do not remove their underwear. It is possible to [[Realistic skins|apply mods that create more realistic skins]] in order to give Sims bodies with anatomical correctness, and corresponding meshes also exist; including raised nipples for females and penis meshes for males.

Mosaic-Blur Removal

With a mosaic-blur removing mod you can see Never Nude Sims take a shower in their swimwear.

Mosaic-Blur Removal is the general term covering mods which remove the censoring blur in Sims games.

The Sims[edit | edit source]

Removing the blurred pixels from the Sim in the first game was relatively simple and there was no need for a mod to do this. To remove the pixels, enable the move_objects on cheat and move a Sim away from a bathtub, an enclosed shower, or a love bed. The censor will remain where it is and the Sim will be nude. The effects only lasts until the interaction/activity of the object is completed or the object that the Sim used is deleted, after which time the Sim will return to normal attire.

The Sims 3[edit | edit source]

Early attempts at removing the mosaic blur effect that obscures Sims when they have a shower or bathe, woohoo, or use a toilet involved a hack which replaced core game files for The Sims 3. Now, several mods have been developed that non-destructively remove the mosaic blur effect.

By default the texture for a Sim's naked body contains no genital detail and removing the pixel effect does not reveal any explicit or graphic detail. Also, when sitting on the toilet, Sims do not remove their underwear. It is possible to apply mods that create more realistic skins in order to give Sims bodies with anatomical correctness, and corresponding meshes also exist; including raised nipples for females and penis meshes for males.

Due to the nature of the blur-removal mod, it will have to be updated for each new patch, expansion and stuff pack if new effects are added.[1]
