Like I said earlier there is the EULA to consider concerning mods.
You mod a game and if it is using some of the original games coding then you are obliged not to sell it.
Take a look at SCX and Sub Command. We were allowed to mod the game fine, but if we tried to sell it in any way we would be in big trouble.
So in that way X1software are breaking several parts of the EULA.
See that is the beauty of companies allowing modding of their games/sims. If people start trying to sell the mods in any shape or form then they will lock down the programs making mods impossible and gamers at the mercy of whether new units or models will be added.
It is a shame this has happened as usually the mod community on this forum are level headed and have created some great stuff. Don't have SHIII but seen the work and it is great.
Also modders will stop modding.
