Well so far all signs point to that it was not really a "mod" because the scripting and graphics appear to be in-game. All the voice-work of "gettin it on'" were recorded by Rock Star.
Most likely they stuck it in the game and were thinking about including it but didn't have the balls and left it out to get a Mature rating. Obviously they didn't count on people poking around and discovering the hidden code.
Granted, the normal game content isn't permissable for minors, let alone this addition (whatever it may be) I still fail to see how it changes the rating. When CJ takes a girl back to their house after several dates and "goes inside", there's still innuendo a six year old would understand as sex. The pictures of sex scenes in GTA:SA look no worse than, say, the sex scenes in the recent rated R hit movie, Sideways. They seem equally comical in their timing.
I remember a time when getting into rated R movies only required a parent's permission at the box office. Then it gradually turned into a necessary parent escort with the minors into the film. Eventually, it turned into a sort of "no more than three kids to a parent" ratio at certain theaters.
This is going somewhere.
I think that sort of mental pause a parent goes through when allowing kids into such a movie, let alone the next step of sitting through the film with them needs to be applied to videogames with M ratings. At least force some reminders upon parental-looking shoppers purchasing M-rated titles. If the clearly-posted ESRB ratings systems in every games store aren't catching the eye of the consumers, something needs to get through.
This isn't a big deal. At least, it shouldn't be and doesn't have to continue to be.

Really now... what bull shit crap is this? I can very remotely see putting an AO rating on GTA:SA (although I still think that is crap, but I can kinda understand where those bastards are coming from even if I don't like it) but the Sims 2? I'm not a big fan of the Sims games, but my younger sister loves the series and whenever I visit home and am really bored, I play the game til it gets boring just like I did Sims 1. EA made a good point, even if you remove the fucking blur, all it is the same as some children's doll. I mean, come on you fucked up crusaders against games, what's next? How about you fucktards go attack Mario for being steorotype of Italians? You all know every fucking game is a some gaming corporation conspiracy against your "family values". Man, all this makes me sick. Out of all forms of media, video games are one of the most tame. Plenty of super violent movies depecting all sorts of crap out there. Before that, all sorts of stories in books telling about all sorts of crap out there too. What about pictures also? Plenty of bad pictures out there too. I bet they're all some plot against you Mr Jack Thompson. They are all "gleefully" spreading their evil values in your fucking utopian world. I know! Why don't we just ban any form of artisctic freedom? That way no one can be fucking offended! Happy?!
NOTE: Very sleepy and hungry. So my apologizes if my language is harsh. But this type of stuff sickens me. They get one victory and try and use it to gain steam for other crap. Worst part is sometimes it works, and that is one scenario I don't want to think about.

According to his logic, the first Superman movie caters to pedophiles too, since it shows young clark naked for a second when he is found. We need to petition to give Superman a NC-17 rating! I'm sure there are other examples of PG movies showing babies or young children naked. We need to crack down on them all!
