Why Are BDSM Toys Listed in the Kids Section?

-

Hey everyone, I noticed something puzzling while browsing through the catalogue in the game. BDSM items like whips and paddles are categorized under the kids section, and it really threw me off. I’m curious if anyone knows why that’s the case and if there’s a way to move them out of there. Thanks!

You can actually change where they appear! If you run the file through Sims4Studio, you can update the tags and even hide them from the build mode altogether. It’s been a game changer for me!

Wait, so I can just hide them in build mode and they’ll still work? I’m tired of my clutter section being filled with all this stuff!

OMG, thank you! I’ve been really uncomfortable with those items showing up in the kids section.

It’s likely because the custom content (CC) is tagged as toys. The game tends to shuffle anything labeled as a toy into the kids section automatically. It’s just a quirk of the game.

Exactly! Also, since many creators clone existing items to make their mods, a lot of them might be using kid toy meshes and forgetting to change the tags.

Honestly, it’s kind of odd, but don’t think too much into it. Mod creators sometimes end up with things in the wrong categories. There are plenty of NSFW options that end up in strange places.
