Well I ain't buying it if it has that stupid blur thing on it. I find it particularly offensive on babies. The fact that they want to 'blur' a baby's nappy bothers me - bothers me a lot, actually. There is something very unnatural about that. And if it is that Jack Thompson pervertson, then hopefully it won't affect our game here because it's 7+ rating and our censorship laws are much less strict.
You know Ancient Sim, I felt uneasy about the blur on the baby when I first saw it last year and then started using the patch so wasn't bothered by it again. You made a similar comment to this recently on another thread (possibly on - whisper it - another board) and I thought about it for the first time in ages and I think you are exaclty right. There is something definitely unhealthy and unpleasant about blurring a baby having it's nappy changed (not to mention the silly reaction you get from passing sims but that's perhaps another issue). It's saying something like, 'there is something corrupt about your gaze on this pixellated representation of a baby.' Ugh. It makes my skin crawl. A baby is just a baby and for that matter bodies are just bodies - to pretend there's something wrong with looking at them is not good. I can understand that people don't want to look at adult bodies in the game and they should have the blur for that if they want it but blurring the babies is bordering on pathological.

I've just noticed something. I got my Nightlife a few minutes ago and noticed that it said 12+ on the box. I checked my Uni box, the same. Yet the base game is 7+. Now, is that because the expansions are 'naughtier', or because we've suddenly been subjected to US censorship laws over here?
Probably the latter :P Having played it for a bit, I fail to see how anything in it is any worse than anything in the original game or university.

You could have told him they were "wrestling" :D

Then he would think you could have a baby by "wrestling". ;D
