Hi,
I'm a parent considering getting the Sims 4 for my tween but the "woohoo" experience is holding me back. I've heard that I can use a cheat to disable the feature. But I'm wondering what the in-game experience is like with it off compared to when it is on.
Can someone give me a description of how the cheat changes the gameplay? Or maybe link to a video comparing the 2? Thanks.

Here is a video of how the "woohoo" looks like:
If you use the cheat, it means your sim or the player won't see the option to "woohoo". That's it, but you have to key in this cheat every time you get in the game, I believe.
But if you're very intent on removing this everyday, normal part of life from the game, it wouldn't make a difference to the gameplay. Woohoo just simply wouldn't be an option. And you would have to input the cheat every time your kid wants to play.
You cannot see what they really are doing it.
Games do not effect people's behavior; it is all on them, not on the game.
As a mother, I applaud you for looking to let your tween get Sims and not just dismissing it because of woohoo. Also, a mother (of a younger child than a tween) we both play sims... woohoo is a good interaction to reinforce good lessons. I've set my daughter done and told her that woohoo is for married couples, in game and in real life. And she sees me playing my game in that same manner. Since her computer is about two feet from mine, I spent the first few weeks watching her gameplay like a hawk to see if she was playing "freely" with woohoo. Nope. Strictly married couples only, as a means to have a child to carry on the legacy of their family.
Her computer is still 2 feet from mine, and I still keep an eye on her gameplay, but that's cause I enjoy watching her play as I play.
Sims is a lot more than woohoo. And it really is a great game. I hope you decide to let your tween play it.

It's just "suggestive" giggling and animations under covers/behind doors/hidden by steam or effervescent water... No actual graphic scenes.
The most risqué so far is probably the hot tub one, but that comes in a Stuff Pack, not the Base Game.
Hot tub animation:
Parents are more lax and ratchet these days. I would honestly say the youth of today is getting worse. One concerned parent isn't that big of a deal.
Anyways, @weslowsk, you can try the cheat @dekay suggested but you have to do it every time you play and your not going to be around for everytime your kid plays.
Your kid is a tween and I bet dollars to donuts they already know what sex is. Most likely they've watched it a couple times on your computer already . The woohoo in the game is really tame. In bed, it's just shaking sheets and fireworks. There's a couple other places to do it like in the hot tub, rockets, and saunas. You never see any action. But if you can't handle that, than I wouldn't suggest buying it.
I think it's great that you're concerned for your kid and all but there's worse things out there then a very censored "suggestive" scene.

Anyway, as others have said, it won't make much of a difference, just a missing feature. Happy simming!
I admire your concern, it's good that you're looking out for your kid. Have you thought of playing the game with your child sometimes? My mother and I play together occasionally, and I must say it's helped us understand each other. Trust me, it's a game the entire family can play!
Have a nice day
That video is a bit old, it seems like they updated woohoo animations after that. Now there are fireworks and feathers flying. You still don't see anything, but there are more effects than just hearts floating.

You really don't have the right to tell someone how to raise their kid. Seriously. She asked a question, answer it or not but don't tell her she's wrong to do what she's doing.
You can kill your Sims in countless ways, yet having some fun under the blanket worries people... I seriously do not understand.
All my creations are CC free.
Are you serious? Making my sims ghosts was the most awesome thing when I was a kid XD Ghosts are still one of my favorite lifestages.
IKR. I've been playing since I was 8. When "playing" in bed was a thing in the game. But it's the OP's choice, no matter how weird it sounds to us lol.
While woohoo can be disabled there may be other gameplay elements you deem inappropriate for your child.
I'm not sure if disabling woohoo disables "flirty" interactions or a sim's desire to woohoo. Disabling woohoo also limits sims ability to have biological children, unless you create them at the beginning of your game in CAS or use the CAS cheat to add biological children later. Sims can always adopt, of course.
Here's a very rough montage I made awhile back of some woohoo and romantic or flirty interactions in the game. I don't know how many of these would be available after using the disable woohoo cheat.
