will sims 4 be more mature / adult?

«1
I was just wondering if sims 4 will be more mature , I guess what I mean by mature is more adult. I know teens play the game too, but there are some of us who wish the game to be more adult.
(I don't mean sex wise or anything just mature)

am I the only one who wishes the game to be more adult?

    EA was apparently told to tone it down with TS3 after TS2 by the ESRB, if they wanted to keep their T rating. However, judging from the gameplay trailer and the feedback from the fans, yeah, I think it would be less "kiddy" than TS3 was.

    This is against site rules to talk about.

    So, actually, EA itself opposes this. To the point they outright tell us not to discuss it.

    No it will not be more adult.

    This explains the 'tone' of the game right here..

    They removed 'random meteor deaths' because it wasn't 'fair'....

    What does that say loudly? geared toward ten year olds is what it sounds like..those that might 'cry' themselves to sleep if a Sim died of random death...

    A expect to see more kiddie coddling in TS4 even more so than in TS3...

    Another example..you will get plenty of 'warnings' in game if your Sim is about to 'expire'.... :roll:

    ETA: Kiddie coddling..boohoo my Sim died of meteor strike...unmature audience...or more adult/teen audience- Sim died, deal with it, it's a Sim..that is what I mean by the 'tone' of the game.

    I like having control over ALL of my Sims', thank you very much.
    And I think it was nice of them to mention that our Sims' are about to die, it'll give us plenty of time for the people who actually don't want that Sim(s) to die.

    Sure; they took out a bit of challenge, but, I'm perfectly fine with these changes. When I play The Sims, I take the role of 'God'. I wish to control each and every inch of my Sims' life.

    The Sims could very well be more mature then previous instalments, you can't judge its tone from just a bit of information that could even change in the future. You haven't seen the full product as of yet, nobody has seen the full product.

    So you never know. Nobody does. It could be pushing the ESRB rating to the limit, or it could be borderline 'Everyone'. We won't find out till we actually play the game.

    I think you will find that EA will stick with the teen rating as they will not want to lose a big section of their player base .

    Their player base is housewives, not teens. :lol: I'm tired of playing a T rated game. I'm tired of lame vampires that can't kill. So fine, keep the T rating & hold off putting weather in the base game. I'm done.
    There will be better games to play. :mrgreen:

    really meteor deaths ......I don't mean to insult EA or anyone else , but that is stupid death.

    and excuse me for asking a question EA can oppose all it wants but someone weather it be on this site or somewhere else will ask questions that EA doesn't want you to talk about but people do it anyway.

    so if ive somehow broken site rules by asking a simple question then im sorry , but as someone who buys the merchandise I deserve to ask some questions.

    Their player base is NOT just housewives as you seem to say .

    it is teens . adults (both young and old ) and older people , both male and female
    I am a male player in my 50's who has played it since day one of TS1 and my wife also plays it (her choice of avatar on our joint profile )
    Not everyone wants a game thats is just adult themed. If they have to tone it down for their younger players so be it . The game for us is not ALL about death , violence and wooh-whoo .

    I will agree I am not concerned at all about how to 50 ways to woohoo...which I know is a big, big deal to some...

    Nor if a Sim can starve...though removing the challenge to keep them 'fed' is in my view 'dumbed down'...The Sims were based on a system of filling needs and trying to have a 'life' inspite of those needs..

    but not so in TS3...just roll another 24 hours..no need to even make them cook or learn a new dish..because they just ate quick meals, anyway.

    Removing the challenges of the Sims is what I feel is turning into E for everyone instead of some 'strategy' to keep them alive..and far from the original concept.

    Sure it's o.k. to evolve the game..but not dumb it down.

    I agree with that. All the teens I know love that game, and play mainly console games..don't even play PC games anymore. Only ones I know that are preteen or younger are playing 'casual' PC games and not even wanting those machines anymore but 'iPads'...and that is the market EA wants to grab.

    if it wouldn't be for the lying , I would suggest a pole to see the ages of the people who actually play sims3 .
    but its easy to lye on the internet , and idk how you would work that anyway.

    *wacks head on desk*

    *sigh* but I think they need to ( shoot this keyboard) consider not all simmers are teens some of us are 30,40 (e im 30, I don't mind the silliness of the game but not everyone is a kid here)

    but I guess that will never happen huh. I need to go give my keyboard the shakes cause its being a ****.

    While i can understand some people wanting an adult sims game .

    EA have said their main demographics of players are 13 to 17 and then 25 and older .

    They will not make it an adult game as long as there are enough sales to the lower aged demographic . At the end of the day if enough teens buy it they will keep the teen rating , all they care about is the moeny they bring in

    And that's where you step into getting your post locked. Giving out personal information on the open forum- ages here- is against the Forum behavior rules.

    Being of the age where reading the rules and guidelines should be a reflex...

    You have, over the course of this thread, broken two site rules that the mods tend to enforce rather rigorously, stated you have a right to ask questions when bothering to read the EULA you agreed to states you don't have any communication rights at all, and now are trying to use the "I'm still new!" card as an excuse for being called twice on your behavior.

    Most people here learn the rules, or at least enough about site standards to abide by them, within a couple of weeks due to the fact the mods don't hesitate to delete posts. Most people learn the unstated rules within a month.

    Being here only a few months is no excuse.

    Sorry but the site is open to the public. They can't post but they can see. Our pages are private and where some personal information can be shared.

    The game is rated T, the site isn't. :lol:

    k here is the final post .

    one I have only been on this site for what the says on my name , ive never really used it because I only made the account to register my games and that was it. but as I got more involved with the game I because more curious to what this site had to offer me. it took me awhile to figure out that I could download stuff from the exchange .
    I literally spend more time playing the game than I do on this site.

    ive posted questions ,comments and made few threads and I literally haven't read all the rules. I asked a simple question in the sims4 forum I didn't know it was against site rules to ask such a question or that I couldn't post my age. but see this here is called a mistake people make them all the time . so from now on I will not post any questions , or comments or posts , I will go back to the way I was doing in before ,browse the exchange and the store. above all keep my comments and questions myself because no one cares. but one thing is certain will NEVER EVER POST ON THIS SITE AGAIN.

    Um can I just point out that mature doesn't have to mean X rated.

    I think the OP made that fairly clear (!)

    They pointed out that you broke rules, and suggested you read the rules. They didn't jump on you, or be mean to you, or anything like that. If simply suggesting you read the rules so you don't break any more of them gets you to never post again, I'd hate to see what you'd be like in one of the "graphics vs artstyle" threads.
