My 8 yeard old daughter has realy got into Sims and has asked for a couple of the expansion packs, the only issue i have is that they have a 15 rating. Now im very open minded but do draw the line with some things that are age related. I just wondered if anybody can enlighten me as to why they carrying a 15 rating.
Cheers
 
Depending what expansion pack it is most of them are harmless. The only one that may not be suitable is Hot Date as it has the love bed where it shows the people going under the covers and having "sex" but you can't see anything. There is kissing and stuff too in most of them. I haven't seen some of the latest ones though.
 
This reminds me of something a mate said:

"Sims 2 is crap. You can't do incest, lesbianism or wife beating".

:eek:

I remember it being the other way around where the bloke could get a slap from the missus for flirting with the neighbour.

I gave up on it personally because there wasn't a "Push down stairs" button.

Agreed - when they make a sims where your sim can drink 10 pints of wife beater, start random arguments and get tazered by the cops for being disorderly, I'll probably give it more than 5 minutes of my attention :)

Forcing them to drink bleach would probably be entertaining too :)

Wow I never knew I had such a subtle streak of sadism in me!
 
Well according to various anti-gaming people over in the states the sims is nothing more than a "paedophilia simulation machine" :p all because some nerd made a crack to remove the blurring from naked bodies.

Wouldn't suprise me if it had something to do with that, its a stupid enough reason to actually be plausable.
 
The original sims eps don't deserve to be a 15. I think they were the ELSPA 15s, so nobody paid them any attention. Just be careful of Hot Date - there's a bed which vibrates, and is a Group activity. I think that's the only one you might need to steer clear of.
