If your kids know it or not.
Well if you want to buy it its just if your kids Know this Language or What Ever things they have. So if you want your kids not to Play it, Dont tell your kids About these Bad things on Or if you Love your kids and They know it They can get It. It depends if they know it or they dont.

Playing Sims 3
Yes, it can be a little bit violent. But, you see nothing bad. If your Sim perhaps doesn't like another Sim, it can declare a nemesis, insult, slap, and fight. But the slapping and fighting is like in cartoons. You see a cloud of dust and hardly see the Sims. So that's no problem. And yes, there is sex, which on there, is labeled as 'WooHoo'. But if you want a kid, you press the 'Try For Baby' button. All they do is go under the covers and you some movement. Then rose pettles sprinkle on the bed and after a few seconds, they get out and cuddle nicely. If you want a child, but don't want to have sex, you can go on your Sim's phone and adopt a child. But you only request their gender and age. So it may not look like you, that is why most players press the 'Try For Babies' button. There is no drugs or alcohol. You can buy a bar for your home, but when you lick on it, it says either 'Get Juice' or 'Get Drink'. That doesn't mean it's alcohol. I think it's safe to say this game is great for everyone as long as everyone makes good choices.

Really fun!
This game is really fun. The only innapropiate part is the Woohooing, but that is part of life, and the game is supposed to follow life exactly. It can be educational, too. This game teaches you a lot about an adults life. You have a budget, and you can earn money by getting a job. You have to have a good relationship with your boss to get a promotion. Also, you have to pay bills, and if you don't, the 'repoman' comes to reposes some of your things. Also, it teaches you to exercise. If you eat too much and exercise to little, you get fat! Also, if you have a girlfriend and cheat on her in public, your girlfriend will eventually find out from other Sims. All in all, if your kid understands sex, this game is really fun. It's not violent at all.

Good With some iffy stuff
Its Wicked!! Many people will say about WooHoo and s*x stuff but to me its really fun. Even my 8 yr old cousin plays this. When the sims do WooHoo my cousin thinks there on the toilet or in the shower!! Some people will say its too rude and dirty but if you know about S*x then you make the right choices in the game... Its a life cycle in a game i suppose.

E10+
This is rated 12+ in UK (My Country) which is usually the equivalent to a E10+ Portal 2 is 12+ in UK and T is usually the equivalent to a 16+ and SOCOM 4 is 16+ in my country and Games like Tekken and Soulcalibur were also 16+ so intentionally this is saying that SOCOM 4 is just as Unsuitable for kids as The Sims 3.

Sims is great regardless of what you say
ok i read some of the reviews and i own the game to bucketlist for your information you cant smoke or drink in it! the worse you can do is argue with someone or whoohoo which is somwhat comlex to do theres a pattern you have to follow... and we argue everyday and you cant cuss on it they dont even speak english!! Its a wonderful game and i encourage people to play it ive been playing sims since i was about 2 or 3 thats how i learned how to read! I'm sorry but unless you've actually played the game and know sims like i know sims you shouldnt be able to post things like that.... If you dont know what your talking about just hush... I mean GOSH PEOPLE all sims really is is a virtual barbie simulator! Are you gonna take away your 3 year olds barbie because its "inapropriate"? no? didnt think so! The sims game that i have is rated t for teen so its not the game its the parents if the parents buy a five year old a game rated for TEENS then thats on them! when a sim whoohoos you dont even see it really all you see is the bed they are fully dressed and nothing is showing so i don't see where any one thinks the game is bad...

a REALISTIC look at life
The sims 3 3ds is a simulated life game that has mild crude humor, educational value of an adult's life, and some sexual references. You can have sex, but it's quite discreet. What a lot of people don't mention is that when you take a shower you are nude, except all sensitive areas are pixelized, but that doesn't keep us from seeing a bit of skin. Fires and earthquakes are hazards and if you sim doesn't go to the bathroom in time it wiil wet itself and make a puddle. I got this for my 12 yr. old, but I had to preview it first. I keep an eye on him while he plays it to make sure he doesn't do anything sexual. You can avoid the bad parts of the game though.

best gamer!!!!
to me i think the sims 3 for the 3ds is really good! sure it has some suggested parts in it but when you have woohoo you do it under bed and you can choose what you want to do and what your character wants to be. and the simish language is basically gibberish so you dont know what bad language theire saying i think its good for ages 13-and up

the worst version avaliable
this is definitely a bad game. It's frustrating, mundane and really very hard. the controls really don't work, because it's kinda disorientating to tap on the bottom screen to order your sim around and that is just the start of my complaints with this game. the graphics are really muddy and blury, and the icons on the bottom screen are so small it's hard for you to tap on them, even with the stylus, and also, there's no need meters, there's only moodlets and those are usually extremely cryptic so it's hard to tell when your sim needs to go to the toilet etc. the sexual content really isn't an issue in this game tho, because your kid will probably never even get a high enough relationship with another sim to do that. it is, a bad game! if you want to get the sims 3, I would advise you get the sims 3 on xbox 360, ps3 or pc/mac because those are really pulled off well.

The Sims Three
I think that it's a fun game about building your own life. The only reason why I put 10 and up is because you can WooHoo and Hot Smooch in it. Otherwise it's really fun.

Crude and inappropriate
My friend's 16 year old niece tried this game and then was surprised by the violent, flirty, drinking, and drugs in the game. It isn't even for teenagers. I'd rate it for adults 21+ who are old enough to understand this stuff. The "woohoo" part was extremely unacceptable. I myself never tried this game and never will. I'm an adult, too old for this silly stuff, and my daughters are still young. But I never will introduce them to this game. They're 9, 4, and 2. But what my friend's daughter told me about made me gasp. It's a little too realistic. Sims 3 is crude and inappropriate. Never will my daughters or me EVER be near this game.
