this sounds like modding with extra steps.
i get it, some people dosnt mod.
but still you could use that check to get someone to mod it for you. and not talking about paying to use mods and such, different scenario here imo.
also because if the pimps have lets say 1 millon player base, and half of those want something custom in the base game things would get out of control really fast.
thats where mods make sense,
