Sims has always been grim and dark and have tongue to cheek humor since the beginning. But boy I do miss cake dancing and cage dancing. I am so glad I wasn't coddled as a young Simmer when I started in my teens with the Sims. With this iteration starting off with potty humor with talking toilets, I am glad it is venturing towards the rooted humor the franchise was built on with quirky and dark humor again.
I was talking with a coworker how games now of days are too easy and child friendly like Fortnite for example. Nice to have the Sims not catering to children and be worthy of a teen rating again.
Sims has always been about pushing the boundaries of what is politically acceptable and the norm since the beginning and what has made me love it for so many years. But yes if people only knew what really happened to the food they bought at the store with the processes it had to go through or what happens with real farming. ;)
Growing up near the beach, well there are more "disgusting" places than a dumpster people have woohooed. I remember walking down the main shopping street barefoot before and how caked on grime I got on them. Walmart floors aren't that much better either. Try shopping with white gloves at a Walmart and you'll see how dirty it really is and people buy food and clothing there all the time.
I am more grossed out by the everyday things people do like they do not wash their hands, cover their cough, spit in the streets, litter the streets with gum and other foreign objects from their mouths, pee on the side of the sidewalk, how many days people will go without showering and changing underwear, and putting their recycling in the trash can and outside the trash can.
