Unique Deaths in The Sims

honestly as a player i do not see anything funny in that the sims might be a game but as a player i prefer to see sims alive and well and made the choice not to kill any sims and let them live for ever by turning off aging and deth and using a mod to make sims immortal

That is usually my preference as well, but I consider it a personal preference: I can also understand the point of view of those who, say, want to turn the Sims (for them) into Grand Theft Auto. Then again, I've never played GTA, tried it on the very first and second edition in the store, and got "busted" or "wasted" (char dead, game over) every time. (This was long before they started giving GTA city names.)

That said, when I want to create a peaceful utopia (if such a thing is even possible), I play Sims. When I want gore, chaos, monsters, I play other games. (Darkest Dungeon, for instance, is a psychological horror game crossed with a dungeon crawler.) Parents who want to keep their kids away from horror games or sex-positive games, should use family controls, monitor their purchases, etc.

On the other hand, it is not much of a stretch to turn a romantic game into something of a much more mature nature...since one thing tends to lead to another. That said, addictions can take many forms. Also, there is also the matter of religious preferences...many people I notice tend to be on the side of turning a game into something religious, or on the opposite side of turning it into something more "adult". Games like the Sims should take as neutral a position as possible, on the level that a teenager can (or should) understand.
