This was an interesting article. Sims 4 being one of the games being recommended for kids to play:

The biggest problem we have had with kids and gaming has been Twitch. Our last Community Manager got heavily harassed because a parent wouldn't watch their kid on a 18+ Game Changer Twitch channel. So yes I rather have kids not play the Sims 4 and stick to the mobile games that are even more kid friendly than have Gurus being harassed because of absent parents. It isn't our job to babysit your kids online just because they can't follow site and game rules. This upset me greatly and the lies that were spread about it. So no let's raise the game to teen rated so the chance of things happening like this are lessen and please keep the kids away from 18+ streamers. I see it far too often as a Twitch mod rules being broken by unmonitored kids younger than 13. I tried my best to help this kid who was being sexually harassed. I had been following the channel know the channel rules. I had him reach out to SimGuruSteve and SimGuruGraham because it was a Friday and they were online. They were doing me a favor and the teen knew beforehand SimGuruSteve's job and that he couldn't do much. Sure the situation could have been handled better, but yes this is the risk of kids have to face and why making the Sims too childish is a very bad thing for crimes like this that continue to happen on Twitter and Twitch.
