For purposes to gather if TS2, TS1, or TS3 had too much violence (all rated Teen/ mild violence) information, would you say the mild autonomous violence in the games especially TS2 was too much, just right or over the top? Examples of automous violence in the games are as follows: slapping the Sim silly, the finger poke in the chest, the nose flipping, the playing torture between kids bothering each other, the insulting leading to crying or slapping, the shoulder shove. Note, these are all mild violence examples in the games from TS1-TS3. And can be done automously by a Sim who is mad about something etc. or just their mean personality. Violence in games would have more blood etc. Mild violence is a teen rating with some mild blood if necessary. Vote how you felt about the mild violence (disregard any actual fist to cuffs in the games since that was a little bit more involved than someone shoving a shoulder, or flipping a nose).

Interesting question. I kind of answered it based on the age rating for the game which I think is 13. To me, a 13-year-old should be able to understand it's a game and not an example of how you should behave. For me personally, I think it's flipping hilarious when it happens.

I would find it hilarious if it wasn't so often for some Sims. It can be disruptive. I would have no issues reaching into the screen and smacking the plum out of the Pleasant sisters. Hobby lots are fight clubs when my Sims visit them and if the hobby leader is getting bullied and beaten the crap out of by a professor or some of the townies, my Sims stop to watch the scrap, wasting time. :/

I think it is hysterical when they start smacking or fighting each other. :D It is as harmless as watching a road runner cartoon for petes sake!

It is humorous most of the time, but it gets a bit much with the Pleasant sisters.

Did You Mind The Mild Autonomous Violence in TS2?

It didn't bother me in the beginning. But the more I delved into the storytelling playstyle, the more I got annoyed by the autonomous part of the mild autonomous violence. It paints the sims as characters with very low self-control and many a sim of mine got into trouble with the law for attacking another in public. Don't get me wrong, I think the level and presentation of violence in Sims 2 is appropriate for a teen game. It just gets in the way in neighborhoods that are set up with realism in mind and sometimes with the characterisation.

It doesn't bother me in the slightest. They are reacting to something and I love that.

Children can only attack children in game. Do you mean the sims 4? The shove interaction in that game doesn't always work.

I think it's absolutely hilarious. One of my sims once took a real dislike to Olive Spectre, and whenever he saw her, they would fight. In retaliation, she would come past his house virtually every night and kick over his bin.
I've had so many laughs and so much amusement from their antics like that. I always wished that TS3 had a little more fighting and such, like the "Throw Drink" interaction, which I don't believe it has.

Ts2 just seems so much more... alive than any of the other games.

Most of the violence in The Sims 2 on PC is stuff that we ourselves encounter in our daily lives, like the slap interaction, which is barely violent if you ask me. Also, some of the violence in The Sims 2, like the fight interaction, are completely comical. Stuff like this bothered people like my parents, but never really anyone else I knew including myself.
