Is Adding New Underwear too Mature for Sims 4?

There was no "Underwear is overrated" option. :innocent: Yes, I would have picked it. :naughty:

Fair enough. I avoid using it a fair bit since it feels like I would end up with a whole neighborhood wearing the same panties if I didn't sometimes. At bare minimum I wish the old stuff could get some new colors.

Just gimme more underwear already. Everybody wears it. It's hygienic.

We already see underwear models in ads everywhere. Even modern bikinis are looking more like low coverage underwear. It wouldn’t be the most shocking thing for them to add more variety to the game. I’m sure someone would complain, but there’s always someone.

That’s a bold statement. ?

Also quite a bold statement depending on ….let’s not get carried away.


These days I fail to recognize the difference between underwear and party wear (not referring to Sims only) but if we’re talking about lingerie I suppose the game may be lacking? Does the level of age - appropriateness not all depend on the material and the cut? You see there’s underwear and there’s “underwear” with the latter leaning more towards teasing wear. Lace or satin communicates something entirely different compared to cotton.
I doubt we’ll ever be seeing items like say, thongs in-game, or whatever you call those things, even though so many folks - including teens - wear it. I only know because I see them wear it, whether I want to or not. The game will immediately cover that part with mosaic. In many cases I wished that happened in RL too.

In all fairness though I’m ok with whatever’s in game, my sims don’t spend a lot of time in the bedroom, although I can’t really see a problem with adding more. Sims 3 offers a pretty spicy underwear section as far as I recall.

Due to the T rating, the kind of underwear I use in my game will never be vanilla anyway so I have CC for that.
Happy to share what that is: an ordinary pair of boxers with a BULGE. I tend to De-Kennify all my male Sims because I feel quite sad for them.

I'm just gonna say I've never really understood rating/censoring rules and when they censor some things it gets very ridiculous

(in some countries enough to demonize something completely normal and make it even weirder and more problematic)

but in case of sims and underwear... well for one sims wouldn't expose any more of their body than they normally would...

and why wouldn't they be allowed cute looking underwear?
I am puzzled.

maybe id feel differently if the underwear was very.... whats a word that forums wont censor erm... roleplayish? which would make it seem more of a weird woohooy thing than just thing to wear

I don't think adding new undies is too mature. Isn't that a normal thing a good majority of people wear?

But, I personally have never understood what we needed underwear for in any of the sims games. Sim's don't strip down to them when they get in the bath or shower, or before they get into bed to reveal them. They can be unfiltered to use as pajamas if you wanted to actually see them.

Plus, there are already some cheeky lace panties in the game that already show a little more bum-bum than "kid-friendly, non-suggestive" panties would. I'm not sure how adding more would make it more risque than what we already have.



And besides that, my other argument for it not being too mature is the fact that ....... they added "Clothing Optional" lot trait and "Free Love NAPs" where people can just wander around buck nekkid (and do)!

So yeah ..... more undie options is definitely NOT too mature for TS4 in my eyes.

I thought no underwear was considered mature? If they are dressed, however skimpily, how can that be considered too mature? Anyway, there's not enough underwear, sleepwear and swimwear options in game.

It's underwear, we all wear it. In my experience teens know a lot more about mature stuff than they are given credit for so if this is with regard to them adding in attractive lingerie type underwear then yeah I see no issue with it.

It shouldn't be a problem, I think most countries have accepted underwear in the sims4, those that didn't or don't agree with the way the game is portraying sims have either raised the rating or banned the game already.
