I wouldn't want to see an M-rated Sims game, either. As everyone else has said, there's mods for that. Now, I don't think mods should be necessary to make the game function as intended. (AKA when mods are needed to fix a bug.) But M-rated material wasn't how the game was intended. It would involve completely changing a well-established image and brand. There's zero reason for them to do that.
I like the fact that I can play this with my kids in the room. I like the funny, nonsense deaths, like going by cowplant or embarrassment. If I wanted a more explicit or violent game, I'd buy it.
@Simburian Good point about the Legacy Game. Seems like the perfect solution.
