The "free at home version" is called Maya PLE, it is a demo program, and you cannot get anything to save out of it in any way I know of to use the result pretty much anywhere.
You can, with some help from other programs, get Sims2 meshes and animations into PLE, you can play the animations, and it works pretty nicely.
But I would not expect the people that made the program to provide a free saving version anytime soon, because the full, working version costs $2,000 to $6,995.
