As the QMB offers a method of selecting and viewing skins, skin mods have always been officially approved. At least that's the way I see it.
Interestingly, the role of the Default skin shows how a sim can be crippled by adopting restrictions that attempt to prevent Online cheating. In this case, cheating with non-Default skins.

NO, offliners didn't pay for onliner stuff. They, as the onliners, paid for what was in the box.... nothing more and nothing less. Everything was written on the box and well advertized, so if they didn't want to have online server capability, they had the choice to avoid buying the box.... but Bearcat answered better than I do.

Say a jar of marbles has 95 red marbles, and 5 blue marbles, for a total of 100 red and blue marbles.
We could claim the jar has red and blue marbles, and we would be correct
! We would also be missing more detailed information of the jar's contents -- relative numbers of red and blue marbles.
Offliners and Onliners each paid for each box that each purchased.
Offliners in their vastly greater numbers paid for the sim's development.

If not for the Offline base, we'd all be paying 12$ a month to fly.
