Same-Sex Relationships Get an Adult Rating for Sims 4 in Russia




by Nick Dowell

The Sims Russian Twitter page recently announced that The Sims 4 will receive an 18+ rating in Russia, meaning the game is "prohibited to children."

"18+ has been assigned in accordance with the law number 436-FZ 'On the protection of children from information harmful to their health and development,'" the Twitter page says.

This motion doesn't come as a total surprise, as a law in Russia recently banned "propaganda of non-traditional sexual relationships."
