Two months ago, I received a notice from YouTube saying that my Sims 2 Woohoo video has been age-restricted, making it an 18+ only video and cutting off its monetization. I'm pretty it was a YouTube bot, but I wonder if any other YouTube Simmers got nabbed as a result of this. I know that the Red Plumbob's Woohoo evolution video got the same treatment as mine did, but why on earth would YouTube pick a Teen-rated game showing off an obvious euphemism for what's already banned on there. And no "custom content" either! Let me know your thoughts about this snafu too.

YouTube's has risen and fallen in the many years I've been on the site. Maybe the suggestive cinematic was enough for YouTube to nab me. But if anyone else has a Sims 2 Woohoo video, be forewarned about this bug in the system.
Tired, hungry, or bored? Wave at the sky and yell "Foogitsnat!"

I have some videos over there (but not monetized. I have no idea how to do all that, or I would try to make some money ) but mine doesn't show the actual in game video. My video ( a story trailer) stops at the making out. I saw a new guideline thing popup when I load videos about age retrictions and minors and all that...so I made sure there was no woohoo in the video, just in case. But I didn't actually read the new guidelines, yet.
That's sort of weird they would block a Maxis made woohoo video that we see when the special event camera is turned on.
I say I'm new to YouTube (even though The Sims Tutorial was created in 2015) and I have still not monetized my channel. I have included some suggestive scenes in some of my videos, but none of them got age restricted (I haven't included any bed woohoo cutscene).
Try filing a complaint to YouTube. I'm sorry, that I can't help you any further. Hopefully the problem will be solved.
I just tried to watch the video in other internet browser where I haven't logged in and couldn't watch it.
I like to believe as I've heard about the recent Youtube news before, that videos having anything to do with acts of the suggestive nature, as well as about sexuality in general, get the boot first. Anything else is secondary; they'll even let videos of people spouting hateful ideologies through.
I'm using IE11 and it wasn't blocked or anything.

I should get EA involved in this. The question is how should I address this to EA (Maxis might be defunct) and how to get it to reach a broader audience (I only have 1,842 subscribers as of now). The Simmer community NEEDS to know!

I don't know, since they are more concerned with TS4 youtubers than they are with those who actually promote their older games. That's a great number, I think I have 8. ROFL. But my videos from TS3 years ago, got a few views, they got more views than my TS2 or TS4 videos. Lol. I think the highest views I ever had was a Sherlock story I did, around 500+ That's the most views and only 8 subscribers.
