Aw, newbies.
Remember when a boob slider was unthinkable? Or breast feeding. It was like oh it would push the teen rating. Clubs that can woohoo anyone and everyone isn't a T for teen game. Vampires that can feed and kill. Too much for teens. The cake dancers were so tame compared to what we have now.
I can make a trans man with a club of kids to clean his/or her (pronouns) house and it's all good.
So yeah, it's not like it used to be.
I'm not quite sure if you're being sarcastic or not haha
I've been playing The Sims for years since the first game (not exactly a Bob Newbie here) and I would still consider breast sliders, breast feeding and transgender Sims fairly tame in the world today. Those are more cultural aspects that have just changed over time and become more accepted and understood by society in real life and thus being added to a life simulation game. The cake dancers back in the early 2000's were probably considered a little more risky and fit the teen rating. I played at 12 or 13 years old and remember thinking it was funny but not quite grasping I was hiring male/female adult entertainer for my Sims' parties. Plus the music that played as they danced, their revealing outfits, the song that would play during a passionate kiss in The Sims, or the "raunchy" video that would play for a Sims' first Woohoo in The Sims 2, or the male/female entertainers you could hire for a bachelor(ette) party in The Sims 3 Generations wouldn't dare be added to The Sims 4 today.
Sure the little pixelated cake dancers seem tame now, but if those exact Sims were created identically with the same outfits, animations, simlish and music for The Sims 4, it would probably be scrapped or toned down to a more family friendly scene.
