Giant Toilets Cheat
Players were able to manually resize objects by pressing Shift+]. Initially, players started testing the limits of it. It started with sofas and moved to toilets.

Pirated Copies have Nudity Glitch and are Pixelated - a Deliberate Glitch
A deliberate glitch has been added in The Sims 4, which makes it difficult to play on the pirated copies of the game, as the bodies of the character will be pixelated when they take a shower. This later spreads and blurs out the entire screen and it stays that way indefinitely.
Newsweek reports that players were unaware of the glitch and so they approached the official forums complaining about a 'bug' and thus falling into the trap that was set up for such pirates.
However, many criticised such tactics of EA Maxis. "It looks like EA have been using their effort in the wrong place," said Loz Kaye, the leader of the Pirate Party supporting legalisation of file sharing to Newsweek.
"If they had used their creativity on the actual game, Sims 4 might have got better reviews. Making a great gaming experience is what will make people part with their cash, not 'pirate catching' gimmicks," he added.
The Sims 4 has been popular with pirates, after players and fans were disappointed with the new game. The Sims 4 was released on 2 September 2014 on PC. The UK release was on 5 September 2014.
