Found this person's article on The Sims. (http://www.almenconi.com/topics/games/vent16.html) (and his review (http://www.almenconi.com/topics/games/sims.html))
What shocks me, is that someone could look at a bad bug in a game, and turn it into a huge over-statement:
"Players can allow public nudity, fondling of partners’ buttocks while kissing (both of the same and opposite sex), characters burning to death, and even polygamy (a male can marry numerous females, but a female can marry only one man). Could this game be teaching sexism?"
Whoa! Slow down! It's a bug that was fixed long ago. ;)
Is just me, or do sometimes, people seem so dedicated into something, that they must cram all items that they beleive are incorrect into a box?
Let's not push the good aspects of the game, such as budgeting, and achiving personal goals, but how an aspect of the game that doesn't even come up, if you don't want it to.
Oh well. :)
