Is the sims appropriate for kids?

I personally was 22 when the series got started. I think maybe death would have been the worst part of Sims 1. Kids should know that people fight if they really don't get along.
Sims 2 and 3 were the games where I would be concerned about WooHoo and Try For Baby. Parents would need to talk to their kids about sex and pregnancy (lasting more than 3 days) before letting them run wild with the game. I like that they keep the Police, Firefighter and Military careers mild and don't show the sad reality that sometimes those careers come with.
I think the series should be kept as a Teen rated game but if younger kids want to play it, they need parental supervision for the parts they may not understand.
