How old do you need to be to play/buy TS2

(1/3) > >>

ladymiriam:
This is just a quick question and maybe a bit daft but it's been bugging me for a while and it's come to my attention again looking at the mods request forum and someone wanted the woo hoo option removed from their game to make it child friendly.  I keep reading that the Sims is T or r13 or something.  I'm in the Uk and my game says you need to be 7 to play the Sims, is that just here?  Now that I think about it, maybe some of the EPs here are meant for 12s and above but the base game does say 7+, I've just checked.  I actually do think the game is suitable for 7 years olds, woo hoo or not, but that's an aside.  So is it just here in the UK where we can have kiddie simmers?

Theraven:
basegame is 7+, the rest are 12+ (or 13+, R13, T, or similar)
weird...  :-\

Maybe they reconsidered the age restriction after giving out the basegame?

I really think 7 is too young for TS2. 12 or 13 might still be a bit on the line, concidering the game themes... Though, parents should really watch out which games their kids play, and what they download to the games...  

ladymiriam:
Yes, that is odd.  I can't think of any reason why the EPs should have an older rating than the base game.  I wonder if newer versions of the base game have older ratings.

caffeinated.joy:
Keep in mind, too, it's a recommendation, not an absolute law ;)

ladymiriam:
I thought shops had to abide by the ratings when selling games. I know my 12 year old son cannot buy games in shops around here that are rated 15.
