Default First appearance of a SimGuru on the official mods forum
I mention it in case tools folks want to spam him with questions SimGuruModSquad.

(EA had promised at Creators Camp to have a tech person in their mods forum who would be a line of contact with modders... we'll see how that goes )

Well, turns out he is very responsive, detailed, and forthright Pbox and I were co-pestering him. He answered a long world editing question with an even longer answer. http://forums.thesims.com/en_US/dis...-editing#latest

Was encouraged, especially by

"we are absolutely not doing anything purposely to limit or discourage world mods", and

"Re lot size limits and lot number limits: These limits should be exceedable but I have not tested this so I can’t guarantee there isn't something in the code forcing a cap on the data right now. These type of limits are put in place for minimum spec performance more than “code does not support it” reasons, although there is a practical limit at some point. Note that adding new lots has similar issues as adding new worlds, so this will be a similar challenge to get working so likely will take time and may need Maxis support."

Yeah I just made a "World Editing" thread with qft's there are more posts by now.

That was definitely worth it. \o/

(since I haven't used the EA forums before -- and maybe I'm not the only one --: do you happen to know whether there's some mechanic to "follow" people? Other than bookmarking their profiles?)
