I know they might worry about the Sims being too risqué for parents of children which may put them off buying, but since a generation lasts around 8+ years, surely at some point, the child will be able to buy it themselves or their parents will at some point feel comfortable buying it. However, because of the nature of the Sims franchise, I think most parents wouldn’t mind buying their child the game even if it was rated teen or 15+ anyway.
The game is currently rated Teen. (Just because there is a tiny amount of content included in it to make it teen rated.) If people strictly followed recommendations they wouldn't buy a Teen rated game for younger children. I think they could keep the basegame as child friendly as possible and include teen rated stuff in EP, GP, etc. Whoever has small children in the house can install it on a separate account and let them play basegame and wahtever EP, GPs they consider appropriate for their children.
This has always struck me as being the ideal solution. An ages 10+ rated base game, with DLC that adds the stuff that takes more full advantage of the Teen rating.
(I don’t necessarily want them officially adding M content, as I think it might change the tone too much, and this isn’t something I really feel my gameplay needs, but that being said, can you imagine how much $$$$ EA would make if they made an official sexy grown up pack? They would NEVER, but it would definitely sell ?)
