TwitterThe Sims 2 != Grand Theft Auto
July 25th, 2005
Let’s clear this up once and for all. The Sims or any various sequel and/or expansion pack, including The Sims 2 does not equal any form of Grand Theft Auto, including hot coffee. You got that Jack Thompson and any other wanna-be misfit or politician who thinks otherwise.
I’m getting quite a few Google refers from people searching for both hot coffee and now this crazy thing called “The Sims 2 should be AO”. Are you people serious? Let’s put this into perspective shall we.
In a high level overview, Grand Theft Auto, of any variety, allows the following actions… senseless killing, car-jacking, simulated sex in various forms, simulated drugs, mafia undertones, gang undertones, driveby shootings, high speed car chases, and causing general mayhem. All of this in a videogame mind you, but one that should never be played by anyone but an adult. In my personal opinion, GTA should be Adults Only from the start because of the extreme violence but alas it wouldn’t have sold as many copies as it has. Hence why the ESRB doesn’t work.
As for The Sims 2, you can perform “woo-hoo” which is considered “having sex” in the game. However, “woo-hoo” translates into extreme french kissing and groping. Unlike the “hot coffee” mini-game for GTA which actually simulates… erm… “sexual acts” (Don’t click the link if you’re easily offended) to put it mildly. Oh, people kiss in The Sims 2. You can have them kiss romantically, harmlessly, or friendly with various other types in between. You also can see “blurry” Sims taking showers, bubble baths, and going potty. Oh NOES! Call Hillary Clinton!
Seriously, The Sims 2 is a damn dollhouse simulation and GTA is pure madness and mayhem with ZERO comparisons. Deal with it people. And for the record, I own and play both games.

What gets me is that it takes a third party to make this game adult. With the sims 2 game you can get naked skins. I would love to see someone hack the Bob the builder game and have him take a teabag some chick or something. Also Jeff, I just got SWBF on PS2 on their greatest hits collection. Do you think I could play BattleField?

Well, third party hack aside, it should have been adult in my opinion anyway. Rockstar shouldn’t have hidden that crap in there. Naked Sims are pretty damn harmless as they’re just Bardie dolls underneath.
You could easily play Battlefield 1942, which is a great game btw. I still play it

I know I’m going off from what you posted about, but BF 1942 will play on my mini? The requirements said I needed some special video card.

You have the required video card so no worries there. Plus with the added RAM you just put in you’ll be fine.
Download this application to be sure:

It’s created by the company that makes a lot of Mac games so people can see if their machines support their games. Let me know
