why no fighting
liverbird:
Why are pregnant sims unable to slap etc obviously not attack another sim when they are enemies with them or have a low enough relationship which would usually have the fight action in their menu as this does not happen with my pregnant sim she caught her partner with another sim which resulted in them breaking up & both their relations dropped to -100 & enemies but no fight menu... They are able to slap the cheating partner when they are first caught but not after... Why is this...
erica_jean698:
In theory pregnant women are fragile beings and wouldn't want to endanger their unborn child by being punched while rolling on the ground.
Sam the T-man:
In theory nothing, that's exactly why the menu's not there. Not that pregnant women are fragile, but the unborn baby certainly is - the only safe period of pregnancy is the second trimester, and even then hot tubs and changing cat litter are big no-nos. Same reason you have to wear a seatbelt a certain way when you're bigger - above and below the bump, otherwise damage can and has been caused in the event of an accident.

Well spoken Sadie! :D
BeosBoxBoy:
Sadie, you are right and wrong at the same time. Right about real life, wrong about why it isn't in the game. The interactions are not in the game for the same reason babies and toddlers are fire proof. The same reason there are no children in many "adventure" or violent games like Vice City. It isn't in the game because EA is a pack of cowards directed by lawyers who don't want to catch Hell from some Christian right-winger organisation about them advocating beating women, killing babies, or promoting domestic violence. I will point out that the same developers that won't let us have a pregnant woman smack her cheating husband are the same ones that added sattelites falling from the sky, spontaneous human combustion, and running with scissors as ways for your sim to die... none of which is particularly realistic.
It was not out of any sort of service to realism or decency, it was ball-less cowardice.
