Sorry to bust in on this tiff, but I've been watching these hilariously frustrating posts for a while, now.
Simply put, Sims 3 skins are not illegal hacks, keys or copyright protection hacks, but are mods to the original game. There are user mods out there all over the internet and I don't see how that would be any different from other game mods. Please take no offense, but sometimes a little common sense goes a long way. Check the stickies, and if you don't see anything on there stating that you shouldn't mention game modding, then you're good... by the way, it doesn't.
