I agree totally with that. It would be annoying if everytime they woohooed, they became pregnate.

Four words: Try for a baby option

Teens can't live alone without cheats of some kind.

Actually,

You just move out the parents. With kids, toddlers, or babies, the social worker would come. Not so with teens.

Yeah they can, but the only way to get them to is to either kill the parents or make the parents move out.

I thought the social worker took them. My apologies.
I let my teens be teens, enjoy life while they can.

No worries!

I am not criticizing anybody, just trying to point out.
I am sure EA will not add this to the game.

And why get upset, the modders will make a mod available to do this.

But back to the teen pregnancy thing. The Sims is a game, and I don't want to play a game that reminds me too much of real life. I understand the sims is a simulator but if it's going to end up so close to real life then I might as well get off my butt and go get my teenage self pregnant...

I'm under the impression that teenage years for sims start at around age 12, at least with sims 2 ... Maxis would get the crap sued out of them because at least in the US there are things called age of consent laws, and laws in which it is illegal for teens under a certain age to do the woohoo.

I totally agree.

This obsession with Teen Pregnancy in Sims 3 is getting really out of hand.

"It'd be more realistic" The Sims isn't supposed to BE realistic. It can certainly look realistic and have realistic aspects, but it doesn't have things like teen pregnancy. To me, that's going too far for realism. As far as I know, sims can't drop out of high school to take care of their child. In real life, some families would kick out a teen that got pregnant; would you want that to happen to your sim?

and also, teen "woohoo" is illegal in the US, where the game is made. It makes sense that it's not going to make a "teen" rating.


Can't we all just realize that it's not going in the game without hacks anyway?

Hey, hey.

Don't take my post too seriously.

I, myself, have used the teen pregnancy hack before. It livens things up.

My post was simply to put things "in perspective" I guess. I wasn't trying to "shoot your idea" down or be rude, I am sorry if it came out that way.


I just don't think it would be a good idea to put teen pregnancy into the base game, is all.

Teen pregnancy would be cool, haha.
I don't see a problem with it.

Real teens have the s3x, so why not?

Real teens shouldn't though.

Many reasons I could list, but it'd make the thread too serious so I won't.

Oh I totally agree they shouldn't, but the sims games aren't life manuals on how to live, they're games, simulating life.
