It's rated Off for 16? That's borderline moronic...
You guys, really? "Oh it has too much sex in it, blah blah blah" And since when can you watch them have sex? This isn't a porno for PC. It's a life simulator where you can have kids, go to the mall, throw a party, and live life how you want to!

sims 2
i think kids ages 9 and up can play sims 2 because they have little squares to protect theier private body parts so you cant see anything you are'nt sopposed to see

Not a bad game for tweens.
There's some overreacting going on. You can't watch people having sex, you see them make out and go under the sheets. Really, it's not that detailed. There's no drugs. Your sims can only drink beer, wine stuff like that. Fights don't include blood. They just grab onto each other and knock each other down. The person playing is controlling what goes on. No violence, sexual content or drinking goes on unless you want it it to and click on it. It's not a bad game. I'm 11 and play it.

Umm.... not appropriate
When I saw the sims, there was A LOT of sex. You watch people having sex. It isn't a good game.

The Sims are pretty stupid, and they can do silly things... I'm only 8. And I can play it! But WAYYYYY TOO MUCH LOVE/ROMANCE, THERES EVEN AN ASPIRATION FOR IT! Sort of not for my age, but it ROCKS!
