There's really no way to put that in the game while simply HINTING at smoking and not ACTUALLY smoking. smoking a pipe, no matter what type of leaf you would put in it (in real life) it puts out smoke containing harmful chemicals. The keg HINTS at guzzling beer while not actually BEING beer.

where's there sadism? I don't want you to think we're ganging up on you, or that WE think it's a bad idea, personally, it's just that from the point of view of EA games, we believe they'd see it as promoting, rather than hinting at, smoking itself. I don't understand a world where sex, sugar, and sadism is preferable to pretend tobacco. The hookah is as close as you will get.īut it's still a hookah reference. Anything that looks like it's promoting pretend tobacco use to teens would get them in such deep water there's just no way. You could say they're smoking fairy unicorn farts and EA would never ever do it, in my opinion. Probably not an official statement, but an outright reference to smoking (no matter what it is that is being 'smoked') just isn't likely to happen, as this is rated for teens. Has there been an official statement on this already? Otherwise I'll unleash the pipe-smoking badger on you.Īnd to close - this is what I'll be doing with your replies Or deduce something truly fascinating like so Īnd marvel all the eager young minds of tomorrow about how I went to the future īut at the end of the day, just sit my bookworm Sim back and ponder Īnd please don't badger me about the health effects, this isn't real-life smoking we're talking about. I so badly want my Sims to be go Tolkien and do this Instead of blowing smoke, blow bubblesįlower plants, for example Chamomile, Bumbleleaf, etc. Or use things already in the game, for example īubbles - derived from a new bubble weed/leaf. Tea leaves - ESPECIALLY now that there is a tea set coming Reading while smoking, writing while smoking, watching a movie while smoking, talking at the dinner table while smoking, sitting outside underneath a roof overhang while it rains on an afternoon while smoking, etc.ĭerive it from something in real life, for example

I understand it can't be tobacco, so it should be the same thing as in bubble bars - only now it can be cultivated.Īnd PLEASE make it so the Sim can walk around doing things with the pipe in their hand or mouth. I understand EA wants to avoid having smoking in their game, but we have juice bars, so if there is a Sims version of alcohol, then can we please get some smoking pipes and a plant that you can put in your garden that gives you special seeds/leaves to smoke.
