Sims doesn’t need to move above a T rating. To be entirely honest, they can do A LOT more risqué things without jeopardizing the T rating they have now. The super kid-friendly direction they’ve went with Sims 4 isn’t due to the ESRB, as much as they would like to attribute them for it.
The solution is as simple as eliminating the targeting of kids for their marketing. The game is rated T for teen, no reason that children should factor into what shapes the game. Children potentially seeing a PG13 movie doesn’t stop the creators from including what gave it that rating in the first place. Video games shouldn’t be held back by such nonsense either.
I tried to like this but it didn't work so I will say I agree. I can't understand if they can have muggings in TSM in 2011 why Sims can't get mugged in the pc series and look like they were hurt with wrapped arm or holding their side and need salve for a black eye or a visit to the doctor. That would be considered M by players of TS4, in my opinion. But it's actually T rated. Not getting fired is another pet peeve, people get fired, so I don't understand why Sims in TS4 don't get fired and should be as unhappy and miserable as they were in TS1 and TS2. They wouldn't even look for another job until they felt better.
There's a pick pocket character even in Sims 2 - Unsavory Charlatan - so they can have robbery in the Sims without upping the rating. But they will need police that can go after the thief.
