Dear God, let there be strippers!

Forget about it. EA is too worried about it's teen audience being too young for our type of content.

Meanwhile, teens today are watching shows like Riverdale and Euphoria. EA forgets they're rated T for teen and not E for everyone.

Strippers aren’t a thing I would like because plenty of younger people play and if they saw that it might get weird.

We survived seeing the cake dancers when we were young just fine though :p

Actually I liked cake dancers when i was kid they reminded me of circus :lol: I didn't know it was supposed to relate to adult fun time

also i preferred the female cake dancer because she was beautiful and i always thought the dude was bummer :lol:

They could never get away with it in a T for teen game. They could have dancers like in sims 3, with sexier clothing but that's it.

They got away with it in TS3, I just don't think they'll be able to get away with it in TS4 due to how sensitive people are these days. :-/

Twerking has become mainstream, I don't think people have become more sensitive.

Honestly, I think they have - altho this applies esp. to American culture. It's extremely easy to offend people nowadays and with how overly protective some people are, video games have to adhere to extremely strict ratings depending on what age group they want to market to. And ultimately EA made a choice: market this game primarily to kids, teens and YAs. That isn't to say adults don't play this, I'm in my 30s as well, but with every new pack, it is becoming increasingly clear to me that we are simply not their primary target audience. The trailer VOs alone make this abundantly clear.

Which if I'm being honest scares me a little thinking of TS5. A multiplayer game that they want to be able to target at young people will be incredibly tame in nearly all respects - and I mean, for good reasons. Just makes me wish someone would make a slightly more adult-oriented life simulation game. And with adult, I don't even mean anything hyper risque or dangerous or illegal. Just.. less tame.

In TS3, the strippers at my club are wild! :P

I don't like the concept of ppl having strippers at bach parties right before their wedding but I think it would be a good idea to put in venues like nightclubs and lounges.

That's me. I despise that type of thing and way of dressing IRL, but this is a game and I wouldn't have minded. It isn't like anyone has to use them or that type of play if they don't select it.

Sims 3 bachelor(ette) parties gave us dancers, people spraying champagne, and just a very festive, fun atmosphere. All sorts of drama could happen. A tea party atmosphere is not nearly as much fun. It would be nice to have an option for a bit more of a wild time.

I think the best we can hope for is a mod that might add them as I doubt it is happening. That is one of the things watered down in this game. I want the parties to not just be house parties and tea ceremonies. Sims 3 ones weren't bad as they were dressed and just dance and had champaign. They could of just done that to stick with T rating.

From what i've seen of some of the game changers videos, we're not getting them. Bach parties, rehearsal dinners, and family gatherings are all the same thing with different names. You can choose what you want them to do at said parties from a list(same list for all new parties) like you do for holiday traditions but none of them are party dancers.

Bachelor and Bachelorette parties are not the same as any family gathering unless you consider wild adult abandon and Bacchanalian revelry appropriate for a family gathering, which most people do not, which is why children aren't invited to Bachelor/Bachelorette parties ans neither are the Mrs. Crumplebottoms of the world whose hearts couldn't take the vulgar excitement.?

The whole point of these pre-wedding bacchanalian revels, is traditionally to "whoop it up" one last time before being expected to adhere to the social restraints that decorum required of married folk after the wedding. To get it out of their system, so to speak.
