@Karritz Thanks for answering my questions!
I know that some gamers use mods that allow autonomous Try for Baby options or "risky" woohoo. I wouldn't want that myself, but some players enjoy surprises. ?
I remember a couple of my Sims 3 kids/teens got caught out too late. They were picked up by the police. But I couldn't remember whether parents scold or ground them automatically or if the player has to direct them to.
The interaction with the cat was really sweet, especially with the two sims sitting on the couch together. Very cozy! ?
Sims 4 is coming out with a new expansion featuring apartments and supposedly more sims will be allowed to live on the same lot together. Right now, a household can only have 8 sims including pets, and only 20 sims can be on any lot at a given time. I'm wondering how this new expansion is going to affect gameplay if those numbers are increased the way some players are hoping. There are pros and cons, I guess. I enjoy watching all the activities in your larger households. It's fun, but it does seem to stress game engines, not to mention the player controlling them! ?
