Has anyone seen the music choice for the latest trailer?!https://twitter.com/TheSims/status/1433838197398589443Now, the song is awful. But hopefully this means there has been a change of direction where more adult themes might be coming into the game, The Sims 4 is too bright, colourful and perfect - nothing bad ever happens, it is all too child friendly and I tire of it.

As much as I want to be optimistic with you, no. I do not think they are, at all really. Starting when I was in Preschool I listened to Disturbed, Papa Roach, etc. because of my father. In elementary school my school bus played hip hop all the way to and back from school. My bus driver even organized a little thing to have us sing Smack That by Akon (think that is how he spelled his name) for the principal.When it comes to music, as long as most of the swears are semi censored, most people do not care what kids sing. They just think they don't understand and that it is fine. Oh, and this was not some super liberal school either. They'd meltdown if you wore a hat inside and it was a small enough school that they could get away with having regular Christian elements present.

I'm not sure it would mean a change in direction for the game, but maybe for their trailers, they hired Luumia to work on them and he has a certain style and makes cc which I think appeals more to older people.

I doubt that. Its not the first time they have added adultier music styles. They dont wanna mess with their rating or their sales.

Oh how I wish we could have some less kiddy content like romance ... and suchnot exactly fan of this song in particular tho...just feeling a little Crumplebottom about it I guess *gets in crumplebottom gear and goes to spa to slap multiple sims for being improper in public *

Is that Meagan Thee Stalion? Sorry I'm at work and can't listen to it at full blast.I don't think the Sims has ever been "family friendly". Have you forgotten "Hot in Herre" on the Summer station in Seasons? :D :D I honestly would love some more "adult" gameplay in my sims game.

The Sims 4 moving away from its kid friendly themes?

I really liked this trailer. For a more relaxing vibe we have the first one so I'm not that bothered. But I don't think it means anything. It's just a trailer I guess.
I also hope we get the song in the game. I'm curious to hear it in simlish :tongue:

If they use Ginuwine's "Pony" when/if they ever do a trailer about horses... then we can talk about non-kid-friendly themes. Yeah. :o

This game is, and has ALWAYS been, rated T for Teen. While there are some 'kid friendly' things, it is not and never has been a kids game. There have always, and I do mean always, been warnings for content.

I REALLY want to comment on some of the comments about the choice of music and what they sound like but I also don't want to lose my posting privleges.

Sims 4 is a T rated game, but I think for a long time they've been nervous of that T. But most players of The Sims are adults. Seriously, look at some of the builds on the Gallery. Or don't.

I guess the girls are going for a day at the spa, with their best friends.

I was mildly surprised by the trailer using a song that needs a radio edit, but as with many things, my reaction was "Oh. That's new." and move on with my life.

Language in the song aside, I thought it was a good song that did fit the pack, especially in light of the improvements. Made me think of a couple of friends doing a Girl's Day before transitioning into a Ladies Night Out. But then, I don't need "Zen" music to relax, I just need good music.

(Also gives me a sliver of hope that if we ever get Werewolves, EA will be willing to shell out for Bark at the Moon or Werewolves of London...)

well I thought the beat was good if it is in the game it will be in simlish so no harm to the kids
and we adults have heard a lot worse then that song no I don't think it means ea is going in a different direction
in game but I wouldn't mind it if they were I think they should lighten up and have little fun

I doubt the song means anything in regards to where the franchise is going.

They must've understood that wrong, thinking T=tame :D

I thought it was just a funny trailer, nothing more. I didn't pay attention to the lyrics and I don't usually listen to music like that (it was the first time I heard the song), but I thought the trailer was well made :smiley:

I thought the trailer was really good, even if I don’t normally listen to those particular artists. I don’t think it means anything for the direction of the game though.
