I can see both sides of this issue: but, it seems that PC folks are better off, as they are able to mod their game. I can see where it's tougher for console players (like myself), as we are probably always going to be saddle with a more "teen-friendly" edition of the game. I agree with many of you who aren't looking for a more "adults-only" style of game, but it seems that's the direction of the series now.
Seems more to be the series is headed to T for toddler. What the folks in CA seem to be ingoring is that teens are in preparation for entry into the adult phase of life, with all the responsibilities that entails. They're not kids any longer, not yet adult, but are getting there and soon will be. TS1 & 2 caught that transition feel well, light-hearted but not afraid to face the reality side - which on occasion has its dark/sad moments.
The thing is, I know from personal experience, if you are totally overprotected when you are young, when the protection goes away (such as going off to college, moving out, actually having a relationship that turns intimate), you don't know what to do. In fact too often, people do exactly the opposite of what the overprotective people would have wanted them to do (ie getting roaring durnk in a party fraternity), and not only that, but they do it to excess way beyond what common sense should have dictated. Those who grow up with certain customs have the common sense to know how to handle things, more often than not.
