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

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

    I second this. That's why people like to see terror movies, right? It's a whole other deal, you don't react to a game or movie the same way you would in real life.

  • Does this interaction/animation even work for anyone anymore?
  • Diversity is what the game needs, as we are a diverse bunch of people. The more options in the game, the better. It doesn't mean we all have to use all of those options, but they are there for those people who want to use them.

    It does become somewhat annoying when people ask for things to be removed from the game, since it it already very close to being in Pink Pony and Rainbows territory.
  • Might be time to think about growing some thicker skin, if virtual mild violence between an adult and a child upsets you.
  • Hi all,

    This is topic has already caused strong reactions on all sides and I can see people are having a hard time keeping in mind the forum rules.

    With that in mind I do believe it is better for everyone to close this one down.

    Thanks,
    Mage
