Completely agree that this game is toxic, and definitely not for kids/teens- or some adults. This goes beyond no consequences for cheating (destroying/breaking the trust of a partner). The whole toxic idea that things like fires/killing sims is "funny" is reflective of some serious unhealthy mentality. I have had rl experience with someone who had 75% of their body burned in an accident and I watched that person lose his vitality, life, happiness, ability to work (or even care for himself), as well as watching him suffer for almost a full year in the burn ward- where he endured torturous pain (which sedation would barely help), as well as numerous (painful) skin grafts, risk of infection, and baths where the nurses literally scrubbed his burnt skin from him (to let the fluid leak). To him (the now deceased burn victim), and many others who have endured rl trauma, people (making the game, or playing it) finding 'burning sims to death' for "entertainment" is disgusting and insulting.
People should really think about things like that. The same goes for the "funny random assaults" in Windenburg (which was added intentionally- for "amusement").
Where do you get this generalizing idea that players who kill virtual characters for/or experiencing pleasure from misfortune in games are mentally unhealthy? Factual source, other than brainwashing media who message the deception that video games is pinnacle problem of shootings?
Sorry for what the person has through go, though I'm quite not sure why you like to make correlation to Sims? What you described isn't even depicted in the game. And you'd be surprised to hear, how many simmers who find pleasure in vicious Sim-killing are normal functional human beings, If you bother to ask them how they react and feel to people, like actual people, that have died or got seriously damage from tradegies you're descriping.

My statement stands, as does the attempt to try and educate people about how people (such as my friend who died from a serious fire) feel about the simmers (and EA) laughing about burning sims, and, worse yet, doing it for fun.
Well, with no disrespect, but I think you should reconsider what people you should educate and lecture. Hint: those who do act upon harm and attidute towards misfortunate of actual people, not those who mistreat pixels :) All your spreading is false misconception and perhaps is what got you into assumption that said simmers (who you don't know well in person) are psychopaths just in real life purely because how they play characters in a video game setting. Sims are not identical beings as human, despite resembling and acting similar to one to an extent.
