Seems like a pretty bad censorship thing if it does not allow that.
I guess the names Tito, Titus and Titania would not be allowed either then.
I'll never understand the extreme pearl clutching of the USA. Especially not in a game where you literally have a body slider for the very thing they are so aggressively censoring here.
Oh yea, you're right. And EA even made Titania in Sims 2 as an iconic premade townie themselves, but her name probably is censored too.
And honestly, with this game being rated teen, I don't really see the need for the censor to be as strong as it is. This isn't Toon Town. I'd only understand catering to parents that ask for filters like this in games if it was a rated E game, made for children to enjoy. I know a lot of us played The Sims when we were young children, but that's entirely the parent's choice to buy a game not rated E and give it to their children. Heck, my Dad let me play GTA when I was a kid.
I think this may be more of a thing for them wanting to cater to foreign market's standards without landing themselves as an 18+ game. 'Cuz USA isn't THIS extreme with censoring, unless it's the rare extreme parent that doesn't even let their kids read fantasy novels.
