The only thing I would be at all ok with is teen pregnancy or surrogacy, because that would be a choice I could make in the game to experience and it wouldn't be forced on me or others who don't want to experience it. As for the others? No. This is a game about escapism. It's to have fun, and maybe leave real life behind for a little bit. There's enough murder, violence, trauma, and illness in the real world right now. It's fine if you want those things, but use the mods available. There are players who actually know people who were murdered, or had fatal illnesses, or who suffers from trauma. To them that would not be an exciting new feature, it would be a depressing reminder.
I never find this a compelling argument. There are also people whose pets died or who were orphaned and those events are possible in the game. Do we need to leave everything out because someone might take offense? I don't think so. I think things should be turned around. If you don't want something, someone should be able to mod it out. Either that or toggles to turn options on and off.
I never said everything sad has to be taken out. But I do think adding things like murder and trauma in the game for the sake of having drama is a step too far, for me.
