Hear me out: pee

So the way I understand the update with camels and llamas spitting at people, the animal AI detects a guest, plays an animation where it spits at a guest, and the guest reacts.

Now the way I see it, this has some potential for some more funny stuff. This is where the question of urination comes in

Quite a few animals like rhinos, tapirs, and the large cats will occasionally decide that the dirty primates watching them could use a shower. A golden shower that is

This isn't a super essential feature but it'd be funny and we already have the precedent for it with the camel spitting


Heck, maybe one day, we could get primates that actually throw feces at people.

For whatever reason I feel some sensitive countries might just catapult the game into a PG 13 or higher with such a feature. Similar to nursing. I know it's ridicolous. Some contries are ridicolous. Not dropping names here

Maybe they could add it as downloadable Content and just not add it to Steam for those Countries or make it Age restricted. Don't know though what's supposed to be so bad about it. The Animal Models don't even have Genitals which should make it fine I think

Who on earth is going to pay additional money for pee?

As @NZFanatic said: Different time. And also worse graphic. Some countries got more and more sensetive with a few things.
And on another note: It would need new animations. I'd rather have them fix the Malayan Tapir, let juvenile primates sit on the backs of their mum's or juveniles playing with each other than adding spraying into the game. All the mentioned above would definately not touch the age recommandation of the game.
Considering how afraid uninformed guests in real zoos are of the spitting and transfer that fear to their kids, making them not even go near Llamas and Alpacas (they always forget about Camels), personally adding the spitting animation was a questionable one for me anyway. I don't know why they had to feed the narrative. It's not like those animals are constantly spitting at guest without being provoked.

If I remember correctly the Dogs in The Sims 4 have it too though. But not completely sure. Didn't play in Years because it's annoying that this trashy Origin gets always hacked and EA doesn't even do what they promise their Players

The sims is rated T for Teen though. PZ is rated E10+ as I just googled.
Now, I think the players that are kids or the (oversensetive) parents who play it with their younger kids is slim. Still something to consider for any company.

Wait. Why did they dumb it down so much in the fourth one then? Really nothing they do makes any Sense

They didn't leave anything out that had an effect on the age rating though? Regarding everything that touches age (violence, humor, sexuality) is exactly the same as it was in Sims 3, 2 and 1. That the game is trash is on a completely other card.
But The Sims is a very good example of "making the age rating go up in sensetive countries": In Russia it's rated 18+ because of same-sex relationships.

What WE think shouldn't be a problem can be viewed totally different world wide, so I wouldn't confidentally say that spraying will NOT effect the age rating anywhere.
