Sims 2 hacks spread like viruses
By Kevin Poulsen, SecurityFocus Jan 6 2005 4:30AM

Something strange is happening in the Sims 2 multiverse.

Players of Electronic Arts' enormously popular simulated life game are 
complaining that their artfully-crafted homes and mansions are beginning 
to resemble the Twilight Zone, thanks to an artifact of the game's 
design that causes hacks to spread like viruses from user to unwitting 
user.
