A 'feature'? Please tell me it's not... That is really toxic, and especially concerning when there are many simmers who use this game to escape traumatic experiences in their real lives (such as abuse, violent attacks, etc.).
Thank you very much @crinrict for forwarding this concern. I just really hope EA takes this seriously (especially given the recent events with the game changer).
In the meantime, are there are mods that can stop those attacks, or is this something that the only way to remedy is to not have the game? I am growing more and more concerned with these 'features' (like offering child sims to work for WooHoo wear in the Get Famous pack)... really making me not want anything to do with the franchise. ☹️
This just happened to my sim for the first time, i am horrified.
It's a great franchise for equality, LGBTQ+, diversity in neighbourhoods etc and i love that.
It doesn't really fit with domestic or street violence. My female sim was attacked randomly by a male townie outside her windenberg lot.
There are a couple of things that could cause this that I can think of:
1. The "Neighborhood Brawl" holiday.
2. The "Roughhousing Encouraged" Neighborhood Action Plan.
If you have Eco Lifestyle and it's not the Neighborhood Brawl holiday, you might have that NAP active. If you have testing cheats enabled you can cheat to remove it by shift-clicking the mailbox. If you don't, you can get it repealed through gameplay.
