Sims 4 Age appropiate question

SavageoneSavageone Member UncommonPosts: 80
Just general question about this game.

Is this game too grown up for a 12 year old? My grand daughter wants this game for Christmas.

    Thank you Blueturtle and Stizzled for your replies.

    She spent last weekend with us and was watching a Youtube series on this game. The videos followed a young lady (I assume late teens perhaps 20ish) who in game started out in her own apartment, started dating then got married. She didn't get the "honeymoon" part of the video because it was bedtime.
    My husband had some concerns about this game being too "mature" for her.

    It's not multiplayer from what I understand so you can control what content she has access to. If it was multiplayer a game like this can be used easily by predators to lure kids but sicne she will not interact with other people she should be safe.

    Sims is a modern way of playing house. Player gets to select a family, control their daily lives, decorate the home, etc.

    The game tries to be as complete simulation of life as possible with going to work, using money earned to buy more stuff to your house and decorate, cooking food and eating it, making friends and having parties, etc. There's also a simulation of all stages of life so that you can have adults fall in love with each other, get married, make babies together and raise them, eventually grow old and die of old age. And the babies will grow up, become children who go to school, and eventually become adults themselves.

    All that simulation involves some adult themes, like marrying and having children, or dying of old age. But it's all done in a very child appropriate way. The most explicit graphic in-game is kissing and anything above that is hidden from the player's eyes, and dead can be brought back to life if you decide you don't want to play that part of life.

    I wouldn't give Sims 4 to a preschooler because how it simulates all parts of life. But for a 12 years old it's an excellent very intricate dollhouse.
