You may be right but I think if itās done in a cartoony looney tunes kind of way they could get away with it. But I do think they need to quit worrying about offending everybody, I think thatās beginning to become a lot of businesses in the entertainment industries pit fall. Whether itās games or movies.
Games arenāt reality, they shouldnāt be limited to this reality. And the sims had never been limited to that when it comes to supernaturals and other quirky characters they have put in the game. Especially in the sims 2. I could totally see this kind of expansion in the sims 2. The game is rated T, not E. If this was a An E rated game meant to only appeal to younger generations then I would get it, but itās not, the sims has always been a game that has been known since the beginning for being ahead of itās time and for itās dark comical humor.
Maybe now they wouldnāt put in the dark humor that was in the sims 2 and sims 1 but I honestly think they could get away with it with a game pack or expansion pack, if itās to much for someone then they donāt need to buy it. I think this iteration has tried to hard to appease everyone and I think when you do that, your setting yourself up to fail because you will never meet Everyoneās expectations and their will always be someone who feels left out or who gets offended if their trying too or looking hard enough. I truly believe thatās why this game gets so much criticism from players is because this game has tried so hard to appease everyone thatās itās sort of set itself up for that. And itās cool of them to try and do it, but when it starts effecting a game thats T rated and makes it less fun thatās when I think quit trying so hard to appease everyone because itās missing out on itās opportunity to be the best game it can be.
I think itās better to just try and make a fun quirky sims game that can put in T rated themes without worrying about it offending the masses. Because thatās a no win situation.
And I would get it more if I was talking about making the sims game more like grand theft auto but Iām not. I think the things I mentioned could easily fit into this game and yes some players might not like it but then guess what, just donāt purchase the expansion pack or game pack, and I honestly think for many it would be a breath of fresh air, I think a lot of players would appreciate the risk and it would make the sims more popular then ever.
Plus there are mods you can add to the game that add more adult or suggestive themes in it, but that doesnāt mean you have to download them. And so if you donāt want certain content in youāre game donāt download it or let alone buy it.
Just like with this new horse expansion pack, no one is forcing people to put that content in their game or buy it. And I have heard complaints from players saying they are offended by the horse expansion pack because the developers didnāt do enough cultural references or something along those lines, probably because they were more interested in actually making the gameplay fun, which is what their goal should be in my opinion.
Not how are we going to add a western themed pack without offending people, Iād rather a fun game versus a boring one because theyāre afraid to put things in their that will make the game fun. And honestly I donāt think the competition theyāre going to have is going to worry about it, if you donāt like whatās in the game, then donāt play it or buy the add ons you donāt like or would be offended by. Just like you wouldnāt download mods that you donāt want in youāre game.
Especially if itās rated T, itās rated T for a reason because there might be some suggestive Themes in it or game play that you could possibly not like or be offended by. Itās just my opinion, but I feel like many people are getting tired of worrying about that constantly when wanting to be entertained, whether itās a game or a movie, they just want to have fun and be entertained. And there will always be people with negative commentary because you canāt please everyone.
Im at least hoping the sims 5 plays a little harder on their T rating. A lot of their fan base are adult players. I think to ignore that is a mistake.
