How Would The Woohoo Skill Work

When the Woohoo Skill was Indeed Real i was kept wondering "How would it work" would it make sims faster at woohoo or open up new locations for sims to go woohoo in. Would This be the first Skill That 2 sims can obtain and level at the same time?

This is a very good question..........................

I'm kind of getting mixed feelings from the woohoo skill. On one hand, it could be an interesting feature for a story (having bad woohoo, feeling embarrassed about it etc...), but on the other hand, I wouldn't want to have to woohoo with every sim in town just to unlock a new location... I'd prefer it if we didn't have a skill, but sims with a certain trait have a better chance of giving them and their partner a positive moodlet or something

At least the "Self-Woohoo" was fake

What is not too clear to me ...................... this game has no age restriction, is it not funny that they put their emphasis on woohoo, making it a skill.

Yes it have, Thesims has a Teen Rating, here in my country it is 16+. As it have been stated before , thesims was never a game meant for children..forgeting this lead to water down and downgrade of gameplay..like what hapened in Thesims3, wich is one of the things that makes it bland.

If kids are alowed to play such type of game, that is another matter entirely and is not devs fault.

thanks for the info ...................

By the way, is there a age restriction sign on the covers of the game?????

16 = Child
17 = Child
18 = Adult

Teens are not adults, they are teens. Teens are children.

While they haven't given a release on what the age restriction is for the Sims 4 (Rating Pending), the Sims 3 cover simply has a 'T' for teen on the box.


Many just have a '12' and up on the box.



The Sims 3 game is designed so that it's safe for children, reaching a broader market base.

No nudity, censor blur, and 'Barbie doll' skins, ect.

When SimsVip wrote that the Official Sims Magazine stated that EA confirmed the 'WooHoo' skill, SimsVip did also state:

We haven't heard an official response on it since. So, they may never even get it working, and end up scraping the whole idea.
If they do give a 'WooHoo' skill; they need to have an option to opt out, or turn it off entirely. Many parents will not like their children playing like this, and simply may not buy it for their child at all. Which automatically equals bad sales.

I think i should have explained it better to You, i consider children as Children, kids of 10 years old and younger, that are below the Teen Rating, no matter how low you get within the rating, not taking in general that also includes teens because there is a drastic diference beteween young kids and teens that are closer to adult age since teens already have a better understanding than kiddies of stuff like...reproduction, they are way less inocent (if they still are after all), i dont really care for what you call then, i am just explaining my explanation. Thesims aways catered to those that are close to adult, but not to adult.

Thesims is not an educational game, it is not a game for children* ,and thesims3? Oh,yes it have blur and all, but the sims can make sex almost everywhere, from treehouses to haystacks, not to mention many other stuff like streaking and skiny dip..a parent that alow small kids under that rating of Teen or whatever, to play a game that has such content , would sound to me like pretty filled with hypocrisy if it even bothered about the wohoo skill, or any other bit of more mature content that was ever introduced in any other Thesims games.. but in the end it has the same rating of TSM that has way less euphemism, wich means that it was purely horses.hit.

Thesims is not an educational game, do not get away from your parent responsabilities and trow it onto games, you will screw the game, you will screw the players, your child, and pontentially, yourself, but that is just my opnion, i am just explaining it since there would be no point in creating an argument in a fansite, i will leave it to forum.

V12, you lost me somewhere amidst all the incoherent rambling.

I can't understand most of what you wrote/ranted. This is worse than your usual whining/complaining/sniping posts. It's not even legible. I will try to answer what little I could understand.

Firstly, when did 'educational' enter into this? I didn't write that anywhere.

There are always going to be parents with a child 12 - 15, that are not going to buy their child a game that has sex as a skill. Simple fact.

Why are you talking about TSM? TSM has nothing to do with the Sims series. It may have the same graphics, but it was a standalone game. That's like comparing the 'Sims 2', to 'Sims 2 Life Stories'. Please, do not start going on about TSM on a Sims 4 forum. You do the same thing on 'The Sims 3/4' forum. It's annoying. If you love it much, go join/start a forum/fansite for 'The Sims Medieval'.

Also, when I write 'child', I mean anyone under the age of 18. You know, the legal definition. Yes, this means you. Not to worry though, you'll be 18 before long. Then I'll just think of you as immature.

The fact that it is a standalone game doesnt really take it out of consideration, it is still a thesims game, and has the same rating at ESRB as Thesims3. It may be anoying to you since it is clear that it shows all that uncessary euphemism in TS3 was clearly for nothing other than downgrade the gameplay and anoy hardcore long-time players when it doesnt really change the rating or opens the audience to be any wider than that one that is right-away less childish.

You are obcessed with politically correct, but that obcession is exact the kind of stuff that kills the game, thesims is not about politically correct, it never was, just TS3 is like that,it is suposed to be a sequel and part of the series, and an upgrade, but it is not, it was rather a let down.

Many of the content in TS3 was first introduced in spin-offs, TS2 handheld first introduced open world, console had controlable ghosts etc. TS4 has to take in consideration ALL thesims games, and pay atention the upgrades and also the downgrades that those made when comparing to each other. I have the total right to compare TS3 to other Thesims games that made better than it did.

I made mention of the word EDUCATIONAL, because you act like it was some Disney movie, that has to get some moral lesson and has to folow a political correct streak, it doesnt, it is a sandbox game meant for fun by mocking up on real life "politically incorrect","unreal" and "controversial",at the same time it simulates human beigns by introducing the good and bad side of people in everything, and it lets you to chose what you use and what you dont.

So why you botter with Sex Skills, when there is much worse thing in game,even in TS3 ? And how can you talk about parents ? What kind of research you have to use as a proof ? Parents that are that much concerned should not ever let their child to play a game that has any sex interactions. Wile the other ones that do not bother with it will not even notice that skill. Only the ones that are hiphocryt or missinformed would ever quit buying Ts4 alone ONLY because of Wohoo skill alone.

Thesims has that TEEN rating, but that rating is kinda of flexible, the correct placement for the game would be more to the adult side of the rating like TS1 or TSM, where it focus to older teens,as an oposite of what TS3 does, wich is goes more to young side, and that makes it avoid gameplay content...yet keeping the same rating, but with watered down gameplay.

It is not opening an "Wider Audience", it is only watering down the game for no reason, and i cant just avoid talking about this.

Well, you're complaining to the wrong people. We can't do anything about what YOU don't like. I have already explained about all this on the other forum. Many people have explained it to you. Either you don't bother to actually read what anyone writes, or you just not capable of comprehending any of it.

Stop whining that TS4 is going to be a 'water down version'. You don't know that, BECAUSE THE GAME HASN'T EVEN RELEASED YET. Try to stay on topic, you're ever getting me off topic.

As far as anyone knows, they're still working out the 'kinks' on how to make it work. But, it's a skill. So, it will probably work like any other skill. I imagine Charisma, will play into it.

Don't know if book reading will really help. For amusing titled books like How to be a 'Ho', the skill would probably train really slowly. Like reading about an athletic book would be, rather than training.

Is it also a profession? The skills often tie into careers. What would they call the top rank? Promiscuous Profiteer? Lol

So many possibilities!

No i am not, i am complaining about the exact right people,yes you can do, you can quit whining about every single non-childish-like aspect of the game, because this is the exact kind of behavior that made TS3 watered down, also a lot of people explained why you are wrong, and why content like this wohoo skill fits well in Thesims design, i am not saying TS4 gonna be watered down, i am saying WHY Thesims3 WAS watered down, and what i dont want to happen with sims4.

And i am not runing out of topic, you are jumping out of it in order to run away from the fact that this entire "Oh, this is evil" stuff of yours is pure bulls.hit, of course, in lack of a better argument, you run away and hide in your robe of entitlement, just to show that it is only you that is the one that doesnt cromprehend anything , yet think that does, and dont really bother reading all the awensers, you can keep it going, but keep in mind that i dont ever get tired.

Okay aside from the off-topic arguing up above, I think Woohoo'ing wouldn't be always a good thing. Sims who aren't confident when they woohoo would screw it up and get the moodlet "Bad Woohoo". If they have a higher Woohoo skill, they would have a better chance of completing the woohoo. The lower the skill, the worse the woohoo could be. Successful woohoo's will over time, rank you up and increase the times you will complete a woohoo. Its basically the developers adding a system where sex isn't always good. Of course this may raise the ESRB and PEGI ratings but its less likely they will water it down because fans of the sims originally should be adults or older teens by now.

if you do unlock access what do you do? Woohoo Celebrities? i get the whole thing. But locations?(Might happen)

Totally agree with ya I think all the skill will really do is increase mood and bring better emotions for the sim involved. Maybe the Sims would be known around town for being great in bed just like other Sims could know how romantically involved or flirtatious another Sim is.

I have read it also that this game was never meant for children to play more of a teen and young adult crowd. I let my 5 year old watch me play it sometimes because he likes picking out what my Sims wear and what they do but i definitely watch what I do and what my Sims wear. So in my opinion the game should maybe put an 18+ rating on the game, but the way teens are today....psht.. its nothing new to them...
