has anyone played Sims 3 for the PC?

Wondering if anyone's played this game and if so, whether it's appropriate for a 12yo.

I haven't, but I have played all the other Sims games. I think it would be OK for a 12 year old... although, you can make your Sims make out and "make babies". LOL

Man, that game is addicting.

It's fun, but you can make the characters have sex... even though it's under the covers and you don't see anything - you deff know what is going on.

The older versions had fireworks occur above the bed when it was sexy time and I think they also could kiss, but you had to build up the relationship to that point.

Maybe when I retire I can play that game again.  I miss it but real life responsibilities are what I have to do now, booo.  I liked it better when I could just simulate my life

I LOVED building/decorating the houses the most on that game.

This is one of my favourite games!! When my DH bought it for me last xmas I was soo excited... well....untill the dog ate the disc a few weeks later.

I would ask the parents if they think it's an appropriate gift.. if they are ok with it, then I think you are in the clear. My little sister was playing this game at that age - but my parents really didn't have any rules about things like that.

It's what my 12yo sister is asking for for Christmas - my mom has no rules for her whatsoever and usually relies on the older siblings to tell her if something's not appropriate (last year, I had to tell her that an 11yo little girl has no business having a facebook page.  When I explained why I felt that way, she agreed, but she really didn't give it any thought when my sister asked her).
