Jack Thompson and other anti-gaming advocates denounced the Hot Coffee mod in the media, as if it were an existing feature of the game that children could easily stumble across. 'Coffee' is usually offered once Carl reaches a certain relationship percentage, although if he collects all the oyster pick-ups, coffee is offered automatically, even after the first date. Since the camera is outside the house, all these sounds are severely muted. In the unmodified game, the player takes his girlfriend to her front door and she asks him if he would like to come in for 'some coffee.' He agrees, and the camera stays outside, swaying back and forth a bit, while moaning sounds are heard and various comments from Carl and his girlfriend. The name 'Hot Coffee' refers to the way the released game alludes to the unseen sex scenes.
