What’s Up With The Marketing Team Guys?
I saw a pop quiz when I opened up my game and the interesting questions about having public woohoo, getting sexy tickled etc. seems a bit unsettling for a game rated 12+ Why not make the age rate hig...

The game and everything in it follows the recommended rating. PEGI 12.
This is the definition of PEGI 12 on PEGI's homepage: Video games that show violence of a slightly more graphic nature towards fantasy characters or non-realistic violence towards human-like characters would fall in this age category. Sexual innuendo or sexual posturing can be present, while any bad language in this category must be mild.
The Sims 4 have very mild depictions of everything, fights are cartoon clouds for example.
I didn’t mean to make it a huge deal, my intention was to create a discussion since what this forum is for, I don’t want to throw assumptions, yet many are thirsting for drama I guess. Anyways I wanted to point out the weirdness of this quiz being the first thing on the homepage when we open the page and the questions on it. I’m fine with them, as an adult, yet not everyone play the game are, especially when it’s rated 12+. Some brought up that it’s safe to learn from a game but I failed to realize what is okay… woohoo-ing everyone as their goals? having woohoo in public? being into sexy tickled? Sorry not sorry, I’m not fine with this type of context matching with the age rating. They could be replaced with having crushes on same-sex, achieving to become the first spellscaster astranout, being an alien living amongst werewolves or something.
Let me quote the explanations in IMDb for The Sims 4 PEGI 12:
-There are buttons players can click that say "try for baby" or "woohoo".
-Sims can get pregnant for a few days until they eventually go into labor where you choose to deliver the baby at home or at the hospital. (Childbirth is not shown).
-Sims can make love but it does not show it as it only happens offscreen. Such as under the covers in bed or in a closet.
-Mods wear sims can wear revealing clothing and some were sims can be nude
-When Sims take a shower or do other things, they get naked, though it is blurred out
-Flirting and kissing can occur
