Should Having Multiple Spouses Be an Option?

That being said, no one else has to listen to me, but literally anyone can google the extremely strong links between polygamy and child mortality, child abuse, child marriage, child trafficking, domestic violence, and on and on. Most of those things are very rightly not allowed in the game. You didn't answer my question above, but I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt and assume that you wouldn't want things like child abuse (or worse) in the game. So a line has to be drawn somewhere. My point, obviously, is that because of the links between all of those things--which are well-documented by many sources, not just me-- I group all of those things together as being a unique level of evil at a different end of the moral spectrum than something like shoplifting.

Some of the people here don't, and that's up to them. But enough people do find it disturbing that I also think it would be a very bad business decision for EA.

It’s unfair to say “polygamy is strongly associated with child abuse so we can’t have it in the game”. All of those things happen in monogamous marriages, are we going to remove those from the game? “Enough people” find same sex marriage disturbing, should we remove that as well??? Sims is a sandbox, those who want their sims to be polygamist or polyamorous should be able. There is nothing wrong with consenting adults in an informed relationship. There’s nothing gained by twisting it into something that is akin to aforementioned banned/taboo mods when there’s no comparison. Those mods did not center around informed consenting adults.
