User-generated tools for Home may be "Holy Grail"

Of course, there's going to be lots of moderation with this type of thing. We don't need someone wearing shirts with phallic symbols all over them. We'll also be given tools to report and self-moderate this type of thing. Home is probably going to take a lot of lessons from LittleBigPlanet when it comes to what and how heavily to moderate user-generated content. Will you use tools to customize your Home experience?

A resounding YES! Home just keeps getting more and more interesting. Now if only there were other people on when I checked in...

One side of my room will have a bunch of furniture stuff shaped into Patapons. The other side of my room will have chairs shapped into Zigotons.
I'll paint the Zigotons red since they'll be dead with blood on them, and then i'll paint a speech bubble saying PATAPWNED =).

This is fairly old news. Last fall when Home's Dress was announced, Sony exec's were interviewed saying they vision users in home will eventually be able to make their own clothes, furniture, and even an apartment to sell and trade with others.

What would be cool is if users can design objects for home and sell them for real money. Might get people interested more into art and solid modeling. That can only be a plus.

This article was unclear. Are we going to be designing our own clothes, is there some editor for that? Or are we going to be able to upload scans of graphics to put on our clothes? Or what if someone wants to upload a texture to wrap on the clothes? I would like to be able to upload "iron-ons," things like a graphic for a tee or a patch for pants that my friends can use too, if they want (they probably wouldn't).

Thats it, I'm setting up a site for home development :) Future users will be able to download cool C4D graphics and such for thier items ^^

Yeah, I loved 'Home' the first time it was released; back when it was called 'The Sims'

"Will you use tools to customize your Home experience?"
I won't be using Home at all, if I can get around it.

Creating my own desks with initials in or PS3 themed stuff would be awesome, espicially as how now, gamers can create stuff rarther than relying on, say, Activision creating a COD4 table, gamers can.
Perhaps similar to when Players used to create skaters for Tony Hawks American wasteland for download

I think most people don't realise that any modding in home will have to be done very carefully - mostly because of paid advertising. Like making a shirt with a corporate logo or some other thing like that. On the other hand, for people who are creative and innovative, this could be something special.
