i just watched the trailer:

watch it. discuss it.
i know its funny but i mean kids do play this game and this is pushing the sexiness a bit too far! the whole sexy voice and boring people obviously having no action then becoming studs and the women wearing very 'do me now!' outfits. i think the worse part is when a 10 year old ask their guardian if they can get this game and when they see the advert on TV their faces drop and the game they realize they've bought their kids.

I have to say it's cute and no more inappropriate than the commercials that air many,many times a day on my local channels. At least they didn't rip off the "Bob" commercials. If you've ever seen one you'll know what I mean.
I'd also like to add that TS3 is rated T for teen.
Agreed, it's not a 'kids' game to begin with.
I am aware that plenty of kids play it, however I believe it is the parents responsibility for them to review the content of the game and then decide if it's appropriate enough for their child. Since everyone should have fair warning of what this game contains because of the rating, I personally feel no parent should be at all surprised or shocked of what this game may or may not contain.
That being said, I really do not think anything in this expansion is 'pushing the limit'. It's no worse than what you see in TV or movies, or the lingerie that was released with Late Night.
I WAS going to ask for it for my birthday because I really do like some of the hairs and shirts..but just to get it for those specific items isn't worth it.
Late Night released some pretty racy stuff when it was advertising. Like when the women were wearing short skirts and dancing on the counter, as if it was a 'hangout'.
It could have done without the 70's softpo.rn style though.
What IS disturbing?
That gif on slynnski's signature is. Is there a purpose to that?
I mean kids today do things far more inappropriate thing than watching some pixel skin...
I have to agree, it's what I said earlier. I just don't see the similarity to soft core that it's being compared with. There is a big difference there. The voice over is very similar to the commercials.
With respect for the opinion of the OP ....to be really honest when you look over the topics that are talked about every day in the forums I can't see calling this little blue pill commercial rip off inappropriate.
There are threads about baby daddies, breeding, various forms of procreation, killing off Sims, cheating spouses and all sorts of things that parents might not want small children to see....then again...the game is T for teen.

It's from a music video, linked in my signature.
How is it disturbing? :?
Good to know my signature has enough power to derail threads.
It looks like the woman's being abused. Not nice at all.
Edit: I'm not "having a go" at you. Sorry if you think that.
Very good point!
Haha, it's cool, I was just taken aback. Sorry if my sig disturbs you. Although Rihanna probably intended it to look like abuse, I see it more or less as someone at their wits end because of a crazy, but not abusive, relationship. Which is how I feel sometimes. :P
Oh, and in case you didn't notice...
this + your sig = perfect.
I remember I first saw it when I was young. My 12 to 14 year old brothers played it.
(Sorry, don't remember the age.)
