Sims 4 softer than Sims 3

[Guest]

Hello,

 

i just wondering why Sims 4 seems more soft in regards to kinks.

As i remember, Sims 3 had more kinky options than Sims 4 offers. It seems more to emphanzise consensual sex than more meaner sex options.

Nisa's mod seems to offer more in regards to kinks but i wonder if that is the only one.

 

Are there mods i did not see or perhaps overlooked?

This may be an old discussion. Not sure. But i just wondering why that is.

Even in Skyrim you have very devious options but it seems that in Sims 4 there are not many.

 

Thanks anyway

I don't have the answer either as I'm also new to Sims 4 but I have some theories.

 

Was Sims 3 so online focused? If not, then things may have gotten more 'out of control'.

 

I can't ponder for a year ago, but in recent months there's been active traction on EA's side to clean out 'harmful mods' that would put it's service in violations of laws in various jurisdictions, such as the age and animal related stuff - and mods like Nisa's pulled out teen interactions after this. Better to pull those things before you get banned than after when it's too late.

 

Times have changed too. We're on the other side of more awareness of the negativity of these issues, and a lot of things folks considered harmless fantasy at one point are now viewed otherwise by a larger segment of people - so these things just don't have the same audience for getting users to download them.

 

I used to write erotica, and I remember a couple of genres of shared worlds that started on 'what if this was in the world' fantasies, and then took a hard turn as, being unmoderated shared worlds - authors with a more... different mindset... jumped in and pushed hard kinks, and the original authors took a second look at their core fantasy and decided it was not an innocent speculation so jumped out, and things dried up. The switch from Sims 3 to 4 may have given people the ability to 'start fresh' and not carry forward elements they no longer wanted to represent, without having to 'jump out' entirely.
