What’s Up With The Marketing Team Guys?

It's fine, to me. "Woohoo" in game has always been so goofy that it's never anything to take serious. And the "make woohoo with everyone" thing goes in line with the series' serial romantic goals (in many of its iterations, notably sims 2 for me).

Same here, as an adult I wouldn’t think of a life simulation without those and I really enjoy the goofiness of it all giving the game a sould. Yet I think many people think I’m taking issue that those are inside the game meanwhile I’m questioning the age rating. The questions being askes in that quiz and marketed as the first thing when you open the game is to me not suitable for the age PEGI decided to be appropriate.

I think marketing just chose things that are known to be very popular about the Sims. Woohoo has always been at the forefront of Sims games and given folks a chuckle. It's never been shamed for the sake of children and some parents have let their six year olds play the game. The U.S. can be so puritanical about woohoo sometimes, but it's a natural thing, it really isn't that big of a deal, especially in the lighthearted, comedic way it's portrayed in Sims 4.

Twelve year olds are plenty mature enough to handle it. I knew way more about that stuff when I was 10. I hit puberty at 11. 12 isn't as "young" as you might think. Woohoo is probably more funny and silly to kids that age, though.
