- Online Interactions Not Rated by the ESRB
This is a "sandbox" simulation game in which players create, customize, and control a character called a "Sim" through its daily activities. Players are free to pursue a variety of goals as they observe and attempt to influence other Sims in town. Players can socially interact with Sims to build relationships, and are free to pursue more intimate encounters, such as the ability to "try for a baby" or make "WooHoo" with another Sim. These actions (available to both heterosexual and same-sex couples) depict the Sims squirming, giggling, and moaning under covers until heart-shaped confetti bursts over the bed. Sims maintain their health and hygiene through eating, exercising, bathing, and using the toilet; they sometimes expel vomit, flatulence clouds, and urine when they are ill or if their hygiene is not properly managed. Some interactions lead to fighting, which is depicted by sounds of struggle and partially-obscured "fight-cloud" effects; other animations include Sims dying in fires, drowning in pools, and getting electrocuted by household appliances.
