I wish people stop describing and criticing the game as childish for all over the problems it has. Kids are not sensitive to the concept of morning, heart break, diverse Sims, etc and you name. Whether you like to define it as s a teenage pre-teen girl game, young adult game, or E rated, or whatever, the game is barebone and that's that.
