I had a male child sim who was upset about a new sibling so he "lashed out" at his dad. No big deal. The dad grounded him for every time he was mean. No big deal either.What I found disturbing is, when they were both very angry the option to "shove" came up for not only the child, but for the adult sim.Please, please, please change this so the parents cannot shove their child. This is very disturbing and quite frankly, very disgusting that it's even an option in this game.All I ask for is the interaction to be removed between the adult and child sims. No parent should hit a child and it should not be in the game either as a promotion to such behavior. I mean what would it promote if it was available for a dad sim and a little girl sim? Is it also available for male to female adult sims? Because if it is, that one should be changed as well. Anger in the game is one thing, but abuse is another.This is not a "bug" it's an issue that needs to be acknowledged and addressed as soon as possible.Thank you

Rachel already took our slap interaction away. Why next take woohoo away, it's too obscene.Probably remove kissing too, it's too graphic.

I don't see why a parent Sim should need to shove a child Sim.

No. It's not. I was angry when I wrote this I didn't think that way too. I don't care if it's an option or not. I care that it shouldn't be in the game and I find it very disturbing that people can condone something like this being in the game. Abuse should not be promoted in a game like this. In my opinion, it raises the rating. I just feel that it needs to be changed. Why can't people see that?I haven't used mods in over a month and I don't plan on using them for this game anytime soon.If the flirty choice was willingly removed when it appeared for the child sims why can't this be removed for adult to child or male to female or female to male?

If you use the interaction it's similar to a toddler hitting, I.e nothing major. I don't think it should be removed. You probably wouldn't like that my teen sim fought his mother and won. No idea why it was autonomous.Male adults can shove female adults and vice versa.It's a game. If you don't like it then don't use it. I don't think EA should remove it.

I FOUND SOMETHING VERY DISTURBING IN THE GAME AND IT HAS ANGERS ME

These complaints have gotten ridiculous. Just don’t click the option. Stop trying to take more away from this game, it’s already childish enough.

I didn't know that adult Sims could shove child Sims. I would probably bleat about it on the forums if I had seen it. I've never seen this happen in the game.

I have always viewed teen Sims as 17+, yet a ton of Simmers don't agree and think they represent a younger teen age-group.

Each to their own - everyone has their own opinion.

I don't see an adult Sim shoving a child to be useful for gameplay.

It is a game EA is not promoting abuse any more than they are promoting spouses cheating on one another.

Opinions aren't facts. It is fine that you feel it should be changed but that doesn't mean everyone has to agree with you. We have options and we have the free will not to use certain options. I never let my spouses cheat but I'm not going to tell everyone else that it promoted divorce because it doesn't. This is a game, not reality.

Because that was a bug and this isn't

I didn't see anyone hating on you, people having a different opinion doesn't mean they are haters.

Number 1: We are sim players we aren't haters, as to how much weight that word has in America I don't know, I personally just find it silly.

Number 2: IT'S A GAME. It's rated T for Teen.

http://www.esrb.org/ratings/ratings_guide.aspx

TEEN
Content is generally suitable for ages 13 and up. May contain violence, suggestive themes, crude humor, minimal blood, simulated gambling and/or infrequent use of strong language.

Number 3: It's optional, everyone can do what they want.

Number 4: It's only abuse if you think it is. These aren't real people.
