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 higher?

Absolutely nothing in TS4 qualifies for a rating higher than 6+ (like here in Germany).

Oh that’s unsurprising for Germany. Wasn’t there a MAP march in Cologne a few months back?

that quiz is ancient so yeah I am more curious why on earth i would need to see that first thing in the game as if its new

but also i have found marketing of this game is often so very tone deaf that I'm not even surprised anymore

Tickling your fancy is a tame US English term for “what are you into”…there’s nothing unsettling about it.

The “where to whoo hoo” part…well…12+ know about the birds and the bees…SO…?‍♀️

Its just a goofy game like it has always been and that's fine and perfectly rated

Nice reach but “being into” sexy tickling and having public woohoo being an ideal spot for it is pretty different from birds and the bees. One is a fetish the other is dumbdown version of how babies are made. Neither seems appropriate for a game 12+

Oh I myself am totally fine with that as 26 years old, yet the rating of the game doesn’t fit with the quiz imo

Probably revived it for all the new players taking advantage of the free base game.

I get where you're coming from @Furkean , but public woohoo for example is very much a part of the game and easy to stumble across accidentally ingame. Those questions are no more extreme than the game itself.
