Where'd all this seriousness come from?

Lately I've been seeing people saying how they hate how nonsensical and humorous the Sims is and how they're annoyed at it because they can't take it seriously. When was the Sims ever meant to be taken seriously? It's always been about the humor. Sure, Sims 3 was pretty bland in the humor and charm department, and that's one of the biggest complaints people always had about it, but there was still plenty of nonsense and humor. The games were never meant to be taken seriously, so where are all these no-nonsense, stern players coming from and where did they get the idea that it was meant to be taken seriously and be void of humor absurdity?

Where's the line? What's considered over the top? Who died and gave you/the others complaining the right to draw that line?
I was just gonna say, what is over the top about this game?
Sorry but potty humor and death by laughing is a little too much over the topness for some of us.
Edit: Wilderwolf, if you're going to get rude when I answered YOUR question calmy the first time, let me know so I can bail out of the thread.
TS4 is the equivalent of a comedian laughing at his own joke. It's trying too hard and becomes a joke an a way it never intended.
Ok, problem solved, OP. Please continue.

Sure, draw whatever imaginary lines you want, you're not the ones designing the game, so I have nothing to worry about. But it irks me so much when people complain incessantly about the humor in Sims games when it's always been that way. Always. I'm not saying you need to like what I like. I'm saying there's no reason to suddenly complain about it when it's been that way for 15 years. The humor is much, much, much less over the top than it was 15 years ago. It's so tame now. Potty humor is so easy to ignore. The game isn't made for just you. It's targeted at younger kids as well.
There's no answer that I will give that would please you. You made a thread where you didn't care about the other side's answer. You just wanted to argue and have a bunch of people agree.
Good job.
These topics are getting tiring.
If you want to create a topic about how much you love the games humor.. do it. If someone creates a topic about how they dislike it.. who cares? Everyone here is entitled to their own opinions and threads such as this which attempts to belittle another person's ability to speak these opinions only further adds to the aggravation a lot of people are feeling on this board and in this 'community.'
Creating a topic to basically tell people they aren't entitled to their opinion isn't going to lead to an enjoyable discussion for anyone.
I never said that you implied you were making the game. I said I don't care about your imaginary line being drawn because it affects the game in no way at all, so I have nothing to worry about. Even though it's rated T for teen, they still know a lot of younger audiences play it. The makers aren't stupid, so they still need to design it in a way that appeals to younger kids as well.
Most of the people that say that probably are Sims 3 fans or started with Sims 3. Compared to the other games, Sims 3 is personally my least fave due to lack of humor (among many many other reasons).
Sims was always meant to be silly, odd and humorous. It just wouldn't be Sims without all the wackiness going on. It always been over the top. I think that was why Sims 2 did so well.
Lets make this a reality!
Or are you just flame baiting? God Wilderwolf...
As for drawing lines: we all get our own.
On complaining: I get really tired of people complaining all the time about this and that and the other. Where did all these complainers come from? I hate complainers! Oh .... wait ..... never mind.
I asked why people assumed the Sims was supposed to be serious and not humorous. You never answered my question, just stated you drew an imaginary line as to what was over the top and unacceptable as if you were the deciding factor on how the game should be designed.
You must have hated the sims 2.
Lets make this a reality!
"just stated you drew an imaginary line as to what was over the top and unacceptable as if you were the deciding factor on how the game should be designed."
Way to make your own interpretation on something that was obviously meant as a personal preference. I love how you ignored my questions asking if this was flame bait or if you just like having people agreeing with you and if you just like to fight. Guess I have my answer
