This kind of article omits mentioning the origin of the Sims franchise. It originally was centered on dark humor and the central idea to give the player the role of an evil god. It's funny to see how the Sims has become more and more innocent with time, very far from its original concept.
Honestly, who has never done anything "evil" in the Sims ? Who has never gone to edit town or manage households and culled randomly generated townies ? Who has never scared other sims, made them pee on themselves or laughed when they got attacked by bees or caught fire while cooking for the first time ? And there's nothing morally wrong with it, because it's fiction, and that's what makes it awesome : anything is possible.
