Self Woohoo/Personal Care/More adult options

The title is self explanatory, yes it’s risky as the sims is very much seen as a game for everybody and all the mature content either goes over younger players heads or they’re just not told what this and that means, but as someone whose been playing sims literally since they could type, I’ve grown up with it, and now I feel the sims should grow up too, obviously keep the adult tone mild, but you know, leave some puns and risky features that only adult simmers know about, or know the meaning to, give the sims 4 it’s big sim undies and send it off to work, sims 4 can’t mooch off its parents forever.

Quitting to the quick, I found an old artical from ye old times when sims 4 was a fever dream, it was in all the gaming news but not enough of us had all the info on what was happening but we didn’t care because hello, sims!
And what was that artical about? EA discussing a long deleted idea called Self Woohoo, one they later confirmed would not be in the finished game because of its adult themed and all too real and depressing puns about playing the game and blah blah blah. You know the rest.

Expanding on that thought, what could the sims 4 add that would make it more fun for adult players?
What adult puns could they add?
What interactions and objects could they throw in via an update that would make lonely old Betsy seem more content with her singlehood?
What could spice up old man Peters routine stagger around town?
What would make being an adult, young adult and elder more fun and realistic when getting down to personal care, hygiene and mental state included, fun and interesting.

Heads up, I’m not even gonna suggest the mention of...you know, no way, I think even the forums would cringe if I made that idea physical via the interwebs, also the design and features...no, not for the sims, maybe another simulation, but not this one!

So, what do I mean overall? Being an adult, doing adult things that can go over younger players heads whilst we, the grown ups, laugh our plums off and blush at the idea of our sim self locking them selvesinto a room to have some fun or breathe a sigh of relief as they step into a warm bath with lots of candles or even just sit on the bed with a face mask, watch tv and do their nails.

When I say self care, I mean more than...that stuff.
I mean expand spa day, expand adult activities, expand the whole meaning of adult!

Obviously, yes, throw in lots more ironically filthy but not too filthy puns and interactions because I love it when my sim does something like that and the little bar shows up telling me what they did in detail, or my sim gets told lil Timmy draw a very naughty picture at school without knowing the true meaning of what it is he drew.
Make it funny, make it ridiculous, make it sims but up the grown up vibe, maybe even up all the age group vibes, just add more.

I’ll comment further on the mental state feature but I gotta go so comment below on what adult features you’d want and how sims 4 could make this possible!

Have a nice day, happy new year and sul sul!

    I feel that's too adult for her.
    Most people are already doing it well before they reach 12. It's as normal as having a shower.
    A fetus will do it while in the uterus, babies, toddlers and small children do it for comfort. It's not until puberty hormones kick in that it's done for point of release, and relaxation, and defusing wild emotions.

    Sims would do it under covers, in wardrobes, or in any other place they already woohoo with others. Teens can already 'mess around' with others, so why not 'mess around' on their own? It's just a normal part of life, as appropriate as woohooing with others is.
  • Hi again! After reading through the comments I just want to remind everyone that arguing over what is and not mature content, as well as bring up subjects derailing the thread, as issues like this has with many other threads, is not worth your energy or upset.

    EA and the Gurus decide what IS acceptable content, not us, we simply show them and explain what we want to appear within the sims 4 whether its via a free patch or paid for packs.

    I made this thread for Gurus and staff to see so they'd have more ideas of what some of us want for the future of the game and our enjoyment of it, not for simmers to argue with each other over when we should be coming together to get EA's attention.

    If this subject upsets you, unsettles you or brings forth negativity, you are free to leave, what I ask for is ideas, not a screaming match where the thread inevitably gets closed because nobody can come to an agreement to disagree.

    for the record, Self Woohoo is not the be all and end all, there are many other adult/non explicitly romantic options that won't affect the rating of the game, and if it did, the gurus would openly tell us so and if or not they could add it.

    This thread is for ideas and features regarding adults, that you want.
    With that said, can we put any political, rude or offensive behaviour/opinions to the side and keep them to ourselves for the sake of not upsetting our fellow simmers, as well as ourselves and the poor admins who have to sift through the comments and remove bits and pieces.

    Respect each other, respect this thread, respect the poor admins who have to read the arguments that break out and respect the game.

    Again, What do you want in terms to adult/romantic features?

    By the way, I'm not dismissing anyone, I'm not sweeping things under the mat, I'm simply trying to keep this thread open, simmers happy and everyone comfortable enough to comment, these forums are constantly bouncing between safe place and battlefield and I'd rather gamers feel like they can speak their desires without another jumping down their throat or bringing subjects and such into this that don't need to be here.

    Have a nice day, please be nice to each other, and me, and hope you're all enjoying 2019.

    Sul Sul!!
  • I personally don't understand why everyone is scared of these kinds of things... as if teens don't... you know, "self woohoo." I think it'd be a good thing to put in the game just because it's part of caring for yourself and your health. it's extremely beneficial for both the mind and body, and can aid you in avoiding certain health issues, emotional issues, and ultimately extend your life depending on what you're already doing to shorten it. we need to stop being so afraid of sex, especially when it's hilariously censored with a silly name and a mess of hearts floating in the air around wherever the sims are hiding from view. in all honesty, back when I played ts4 for ps2, I was shocked at how far they were allowed to go with the woohoo function because it's considered so forbidden. but that's just my opinion.

    Hi folks, at this point, I am stepping in here and closing the thread as we're veering into some territory not appropriate for the forums. There's also been some back and forth between users that isn't okay - calling out how people are posting as if that's ground for discrediting them. We're not here to talk about when/what is natural at what stage in folks' lives to start doing certain things and we all need to be respectful towards one and other.
