It's amazing the stuff people seek and find in an innocent game. And one where YOU control all relationships ??? you that same option exists in real life too right? It's up to you to pursue it or not....
This was less "seek and find" and more a big "hey, wait a minute" moment that I had while playing. It struck me less as "ew, you can do this creepy thing" (although that was certainly part of it!) and more as "next time EA says it's trying to be sensitive, I'm calling BS because the Sims is not now nor has ever been 'sensitive'." When they nerf everything else but prowling around the edge cases reveals how inherently hypocritical that is, it really amplifies the complaints of the players who have their specific Sim behaviors restricted, like "meat eaters and occult players are heavily restricted but you can actively choose to play as a predator?"
It wasn't intended as flamebait...although now that I think about a lot of players' experiences with the game, I can totally see how it can be taken as "great, another thing to get offended over." I just found it...gross...that the option's in there (even if it's ultimately my choice to set the moral standards of my own simworld. If the guy in my top post example autonomously tries to get romantic with his "unofficial daughter" in my game, he's going to end up in the graveyard, the victim of weather and/or drowning depending on the season.
