Re: Too Much Cursing -- Forbidden Words

@troshalom This all sounds very frustrating, and I would be frustrated as well. I have been playing and testing builds more than playing super-extensively since adding Parenthood, but I have played it enough with toddlers and children to say that I have not noticed this extent of cursing or kid/adult naughtiness in my game. I am inclined to think that it may be a good idea to do some troubleshooting to see if something is a bit buggy in your game.

Can I ask a couple of clarification questions? Do you have any Mods or CC in your game? What packs do you have? Have you tried a game repair?

I will look around a bit and chat with some 'helpers' to see what else ai can find out about this and will update the thread. In the mean time if I could get that information it will also help me in looking into this. Thank you!

Repair the game: Open Origin, click 'Game Library' then right-click Sims 4 > Repair Game.

I also hate it when the children wake up with nightmares - both because it upsets them and because the process of having a parent or older sibling comfort them is rather fidgety. There is a lovely nightlight in the wall lights that is your solution. I put one near the child's bed, and two if needed. It is the "Coolala, The Defender Wall Light". 🙂

Thanks,
I haven't tried a game repair.
I have all of the EPs now, when I first noticed it I didn't. And all of the GPs except vampires. I don't play with mods, but do have a few CC hair and makeup which should not impact scripting of game play.
I did chat with tech support who said that cursing was added to the bars for StrangerVille.
I just wish I had a toggle off switch in options so I can play a game without it. I don't mind sims getting angry, but, when I play the game I try to step away from reality so it is a stress reliever not a stress inducer.
I'll look into game repair link.
thanks again

@troshalom Thank you for the update. If the repair does not work with the CC still left in I would recommend re-doing the repair process while including the removal of the entire mods folder (drag it to your desktop for later reference and delete the mods folder in your The Sims 4 game folder - when you restart the game it will make a new fresh one - and run the repair again, then re-start the game. Even if the CC (or mods, though I know you don't play with them) have nothing that seems to be directly related to an issue they are a code modification and some could have modifications involved that effect other areas of the game. If it doesn't help you can just re-add the CC to the new mod folder. Let us know how it goes. Thanks!
