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?

Considering the game says 'T' for Teen and it's mostly teen-to-adults who play it, moving away from its 'child' theme is hardly a bad thing.

Toddlers and children were heavily featured in that trailer so it's obviously not perceived by the makers as too adult for toddlers and children.

The Sims is probably Teen rated not because of the Woohoo interaction, but because of the LGBT and same sex romance.

The most of countries think a kid is too young to "understand" it.

I doubt that its because of lgbt themes. There are lgbt characters being starred in childrens shows. But no childrens shows has people having sex in garbage dumpsters, "free love" policies or streakers. Besides like 50 sex spots, there lots of innuendo in game & the like, which I see why its teen. Also its M in some countries.

Lbbt characters are only featured in kids shoes in countries in which it's not illegal or close to it, to be lgbt.

Ironic since that song is quite inappropriate. "Undress me everywhere", "hanky panky", "kiss me everywhere", not exactly kid-friendly :D
Then again, I'd love to have this song in the game, it would be great on a 90s'-2000s' Pop station.

I don't believe the Sims 4 is THAT family friendly, but i agree that more chaos in the game would be exciting.

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

Play that during woo hoo time :) It will be in Simlish and it fits the mood
Like the song they have in Sims 2 that fits when they slow dance.

@faytheful, the K. I. L. L interaction is clicking on a sim & selecting the K. I. L. L by Wild Rabbit.
This is in the Cottage Living Pack.

:lol: Yes! That would be pretty awesome, actually. I currently have a copy of this one in my custom music folders for the Romance radio station.
