A Sims 4 glitch which sees the modestly pixelation spreading across the entirety of the game appears to be a way for developer Maxis to catch all those who have illegally obtained the game.

In The Sims 4, naked Sims have their modesty saved with pixelation, but in pirated versions this pixelation spreads across the entire game.

The funny thing is many gamers using pirated editions of the game turned up en-mass to the official forums asking for advice to fix the pixelation, unaware this was in fact owning up to having stolen the game.

Nice work, Maxis.
