On a more serious note. I do take exception to the word pedophile being used to describe interactions with teens in the game. As I stated elsewhere, the teens in the game can drive cars which in my mind makes them old enough to have sex, try for baby & get married just like in real life.
There is no "16". They are *12*.
There is no *12* that could be referred to as Teen. Definition of Teen is a young person aged between thirteen to nineteen, hence 'Teen'. Teens in this game drive cars which would therefore (depending on country/region) make them at least 16. By saying they are 12 would imply that all the Teens are driving illegally (could they be)? so your statement is either wrong or deluded.
Pedophile is a term that is applied to sick people who have sexual desires for children. A child is defined as any age between birth to puberty. This again proves your usage of the word 'pedophile' in regards to Teen relations, in-correct as most Teens have reached puberty well before 16 years of age.
So in conclusion of the above, I am right and you are wrong which makes me "More Awesome Than You" :P

No, what you are is an annoying and un-awesome little gnat that refuses to get that this place operates by the Rule of 6.
And that whole "driving illegally" thing makes you even more un-awesome. In MY country, you aren't allowed to drive until you're 18. NEWSFLASH: Different countries have different rules and laws. Sims don't operate under your laws just because you say so and obviously they are allowed to drive at 12. :P
What exactly did you think to achieve by challenging these rules? Did you really think it was nothing nobody had ever done before?
Now who's deluded?

Sims spend more years in High School than Elementary School, and that there is no Middle school. So where did it go I wonder? Middle School starts at 11-12... Strange coincidence, or conspiracy?
In many places (North American), Elementary goes from K-7 and High School goes from 8-12. I know this is true in and around Vancouver BC, where I grew up, and I'm sure there are others. Grade 8 usually starts around age 13 and grade 12 ends around age 18, hence 'teen'. It's appropriate for the simplification in The Sims where age category=school applied.
I only wish the high school were a different building than the elementary.

Oh dear, I fear I may be in part to blame about this thread suddenly becoming an argument about the teen-12 thing. It doesn't really bother me that much since I could easily make a mod to change things if it did. Sims are a completely fictional species of human-like pixelated creatures that typically only live for 90 days and therefore no real world concepts should be applicable to them. One could say that the concept of pedophilia can't really be applied to a Sim, but then Pescado has done it with his AwesomeMod which after his latest fix is once again awesome. ;D
Now to just make the jail time longer. Perhaps a a few days instead of the half day or quarter day that it does which is more an inconvenience then a punishment.
