Or, you know, you could just accept that your sim's actions have ruined her life and roll with it. Shit happens.
I love the mod and I really don't want to play without it. But why create something to better the game, and then add in things to spite those who want to do things you disagree with? In some states, 16 is legal, and your insistence that they are 12 doesn't really hold weight when teens are in high school in the game, so at least half of them are over 16.
And Inteen 3 doesn't seem to work with awesomemod. So now I have to choose between a great mod that fixes a lot and my desire to bang 17 year olds.

Didn't read the FAQ, did you? There is no 16 or 17. There is 12, and there is 18.

You're kind of sick if that's really that hard of a choice for you (I easily prefer AM despite the silly restrictions), but I agree with you that "the rule of 6" is BS.
TS3 teens look and act like people around 16 and should be treated that way by the mod. And 16 is legal in many states, and treated as less than pedophilia by just about everyone.
If someone is into 16 year olds, it's ephebohilia (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ephebophilia) and in fact, "because most late adolescents have physical characteristics near (or in other cases, identical) to that of full-grown adults, some level of sexual attraction to persons in the age group is common among adults of all sexual orientations."
I also remember plenty of pretty female high schoolers flirting with male teachers in high school in hopes of improving their grades.
Those who like what Pescado did with it just like something to feel self-righteous about, and we all can agree that adults have no business having sex with, or even being attracted to, 12 year olds. But these are pixels, and the pixels don't look or act like 12 year olds.

What attitude do you think I have Tangie, because it occured to me that you do not know me, nor did what I said have anything to do with my personal beliefs or morals. I am just not one of those La-De-Da fucks that tries to block out all the horrible parts of society today. I see them, I understand them, I do not condone then, I do my best to stop these things, but after all, I myself cannot change every thing that's wrong with the world today. And I can tell by some of your posts that your opinoin of what could be considered flirty is much different than mine. Now I am not saying a male teacher will walk into a room, stand over a girl's desk and say sexual inuedos till his dick gets hard, I'm saying it could be such as a male teacher is sitting behind his desk, while the class works. A previous female student comes in the room to say hi to their "favorite" teacher they had, and the male teacher drops awerness of his classroom to chitter chat with this girl and laugh about smile about how fun it was to have in her class. See, although he did not formally do anything "sexually" related, he became pre-occupied and focused attention on this girl. How about anough one? A male, high up in a company is looking for a new secretary. A multitude of woman come in to apply, one very attractive woman has a slightly worse resume than a horrendously ugly woman. Now, although the attractive woman is slightly less calified, are the chances that she will be hired not MUCH MUCH higher than the other woman's chances? Although these examples may not be the best, you are downright ignorant if you do not think occurances like these happen daily, and if there is a deep rooted seed of sexuality in it. We are only mammals, animals at heart, albiet a much more evolved species of such, but in the end we still have the basic insticts to procreate.
As to Liz...with saying that that option isn't in the game...did you read what I wrote? I am talking about REAL LIFE, not the game. I'm refering to real people, not the 12 or 6 in the game. Real world.
And Sigmund, power has nothing to do with the point I was making. It's not just wrong if someone abuses their power to do such acts, its wrong if anyone does it. I don't see what you point is in stating that they were unequal balances of power, because do you really think I'm stupid enough to think "Yuck yuck yuck, da garbig man need to tell da senator how to work yuck yuck". I know balance of power, but that has nothing to do with the point I'm trying to make.

Any number of reasonable, intelligent people would read your post as "It's no big deal for adults to flirt with kids." The examples you then chose to illustrate this "flirting", however, are ridiculously low on actual flirtation. Teacher pays attention to his unexpected guest? That's not flirting. Guy wants to hire the more attractive applicant? Certainly rooted in sexual attraction, but it has nothing to do with adults flirting with minors. It's irrelevant.
Now, did you read what I wrote? Because I'm well aware that there's a big difference between the game and REAL LIFE. And part of that difference is that where REAL LIFE might have a slightly flirtatious interaction between an adult and a minor that isn't cause for alerting the authorities, in the game, there is no such thing. IN THE GAME, all flirtation is by definition romantic/sexual in nature. So I find it perfectly "realistical" that a REAL LIFE adult would be labeled a pedo for attempting to interact with a minor in the ways the game recognizes as flirting.
