Mature (M) – Recommended for people aged 15 years and over. People under 15 may legally access this material because it is an advisory category. This category contains material that may require a mature perspective, but is not deemed too strong for younger viewers. The content is moderate in impact, although the "Moderate" indicator prefix is no longer used in the consumer advice, eg. "Moderate violence" is referred to as "Violence".
- Themes may have a moderate sense of threat or menace, if justified by context.
- Moderate violence is permitted, if "justified by context". Sexual violence should be very limited and justified by context.
- Sexual activity should be discreetly implied, if "justified by context".
- Coarse Language may be used. Aggressive or strong coarse language should be infrequent and justified by context.
- Drug use and nudity should be justified by context.
My guess is Woohoo and "Juice"/Alcohol.
Ah, I see. So it's rated M in Australia. In the US they break it down further to T (Teen) or M (Mature).
People are saying that EAxis is trying to rebrand TS4 as a game for younger children, pre-teen and below. Others are saying the rebranding is aimed mostly at young women.
So exactly what plans does EAxis have for this game?
This game is such a mess!
I guess it applies both, young audience and accordingly literally by SimGuruDrake - anyone young (so not just teens?) that's female is their target audience they're aiming for (besides, gender rating doesn't exist). Magority of players are female? Possibly true. Foolish (euphemism to evade a warning) move to target and cater onlyspecific gender group? Yes (albeit I don't how they can and are doing with what they release so far. How any of present content is specific to the player's gender and how they're making it cater said audience (clothing sex ration doesn't count, as females in real life have large assessment of fashion variety) - I'll never know)
