Mature Mode

I know this will never ever happen due to the fact EA and Maxis wants this to be "family friendly" and the fact that there are mods to change the game to fit my post but sadly consoles don't have access to mods and the mods that have this option are not approved by sony or xbox. I see most mature rated games to have an option to turn adult content ON or turn it OFF if it offends the player that is playing. There are alot of players who play the sims as an immersive life simulation that would agree that the sims 4 needs an adult version mode. This mode would allow violence and a bit of blood splatter for mean sims, some nudity, less censorship, alcohol and tobacco use, sexual content, etc etc. I have seen video games way worse then what i suggest in this post. Games that have full genitalia showing. I know some would think it weird and stupid that people use nudity mods on the sims games but it makes it more realistic as there are tons of adults who play the sims which is a "teen" rated game so we should be able to play an adult verson of it on PC and Console. Since console has no mods they should have an option like "would you like to turn mature content ON?? YES or NO" turning it off would keep the teen version and turning it on would make it an adult version.

No mean comments or anything i know this is a stupid idea that would never EVER happen but this was just my idea that i should write about.

    The sims was never an immersive life simulation though, its core was "let's take a closer look at these silly creatures living in SimCity".
    They're not human, they're sims, and it's not meant to look like real life.

    What you're suggesting would not even be close to the sims anymore. Sounds more like Second Life tbh.

    @happyopi everyone plays the sims in different ways. Some play it as a real life simulation and make themself into a sim and do what they in real life would do. Others play it silly like and kill off sims in each and every way possible. Others want the real life immersion and others let their sims do what they want. You saying what you said is like saying that installing whatever mods are available to the sims games makes it no longer the sims but its still the sims no matter if someone wants it to be realistic or not. Just because someone wants a game to have nudity and be more real does not make it not the game it was originally. There are thousands of players who use the "adult content" mods made for the sims otherwise they would not have been made at all. Console players don't have access to mods and sony and microsoft would never allow an adult content mod therefore it would only be fair to allow a toggle between censorship or no censorship. This does NOT mean each and every player will be forced to use the adult content mode. Its a switch that turns it on or off. Therefore the players that play the real life immersion sims can turn the option ON and those that just play the silly sims can keep the option turned OFF

    All i'm saying is we aren't allowed to talk about anything over the "T" for teen rating.

    This is probably an unpopular opinion, but I honestly think parental lock features are kind of meaningless. If the game is not given a rating then sure include the feature, but once a game (especially something like The Sims) gets slapped with an otherwise restrictive 'Mature' rating, it's kind of a moot point.

    @MadameLee it's an ideas corner there is nowhere that states you can't mention your idea. There is nowhere in my post anything mentioning any pornographic content or any links to adult mods whatsoever so technically I am still stating my ideas and thoughts within the rules and guidelines. I have read lots of other player's ideas and seen alot of other talking about adult content in the sims and wanting a "mature content mode" or "adult friendly content" and there posts are still open and ongoing. So if it was not allowed someone would have removed theirs and mine along with it. But everytime I make a new discussion there are automatically 2 views which i am assuming are mods of some sort so i am guessing if this was not allowed they would have removed it before everyone else could even comment on my post let alone look at it. If it's not allowed then by all means they can delete it but i am not saying anything wrong and not breaking any rules of any kind. I only mentioned my idea of making the game adult friendly with 1 single button that can turn censorship on or off. And there are many players that would agree with me that it should be an option.

    Even ignoring the trend towards sanitizing the game and making everything "family friendly", such things still don't fit the cartoony, silly vibe of the franchise. I may not be opposed to seeing some of these things in an unmodded sims game, but they'd certainly make me do a double take. Admittedly, it might be fun to have some sims have an affinity for drinking or smoking (just for more personality variance) but as a matter of personal preference, I'd prefer nudity not be included. Blood and violence are mood dependent, I'd rather it not be put in but every now and then a townie is too annoying to live and you gotta break out that Extreme Violence ?

    If anything, I'd like to see EA work with CC creators and console simmers to make mods easily and safely available for all. Not sure how they'd do it, but it'd be neat.

    @GGgkkg exactly. That is like what I am saying. I mean MCC on PC does it perfectly but sadly console users don't have access to that so even if we were allowed to turn the funny censor bar off that would be cool with me as long as there was a version of feeling more adult like. Even if a sim whipped out a cigarette every now and then or something that would be cool as well. I mean yeah full on nudity would be crossing the line for EA and Maxis but i was just listing my idea. I never said this would be a thing EVERYONE wants or a thing that will DEFINITELY happen. This is ideas corner and it was an idea i had so decided to tell everyone about it. Some will agree with me some will not agree with me but i am not doing anything wrong or saying anything bad with my idea. Just stating what i thought of lol

    I didn't mean to make you feel uncomfortable, I want for everyone to be able to share their opinions! I may disagree but, that's all just part of a healthy discussion, lol

    Hey there, so considering The Sims is a T rated game I'm afraid I'm going to have to close this discussion as it's not permitted, all content and discussion has to stick to the T rating. Discussing mature content and mods isn't something we allow.
