Interesting, and here I thought SIMS was just an innocent game.

I have to agree with BentNotTwisted here.

I'd say its a mixture of both. Yes, to a degree it is a parents responsiibility to monitor thier child's activity. However, the reality is that no parent can ever know everything, and a game like SIMS seems innocent on the surface, and wouldn't really seem suspicious. For a game that people under 18 can play, I sounds like SIMS has more sexual content than is really necessary. Perhaps EA should consider taking out the "loveshacks."
I do have to add though that I've never played the game, so I can't claim to have any first hand knowledge of what SIMS is really like.
