There is some "violence" inherent in the The Sims Series. Look at how Brandy Broke's husband died in Sims 2. Or Sims can die by fire or freezing, etc. However, the animations that follow aren't all blood and guts and gore. If they were, certainly Sims 2 would have been rated "M" for Mature. While "WooHoo" for teens (Sims Teens in game) is not part of the basic game play, there are certainly mods available to permit it as well as the consequences of said "woohoo". Please note that these mods are NOT supported by EA/Maxis which would not affect the rating of the Base game as it is the player choice to add them. IF EA/Maxis added content like this, yes, it would change the rating to "Mature". And different countries have differing standards as well. I think The Sims is rated Mature in some eastern European countries, but since I am in the US I cannot confirm this.
And as an example, standards change over time. Look at the movie "M*A*S*H" directed by Robert Altman. When it was released in the early 1970's, it was rated "R". Today it is rated "PG".
The point of them making the mods would be they would be more compatible to the game and wouldn't have all this breakage every time there is a patch like we do now. There are mods I'd like to have, but it's break, break all time.
