Do you use imaginary friends?
I tried them once when generations first came out and even turned one into a real sim, but I got fed up with that save, it was more like a save test anyway. Then I have never played with them again u...

I don't use them anymore. I tried them when I first got Generations, but they got in the way constantly. I usually play with large households anyways and more uncontrollable sims on the lot was frustrating. I eventually got a mod that stopped kids from getting them at all. I also didn't like how toddlers were obsessed with them. Three or four toddlers singing to their IF dolls is the stuff of horror movies.
I also thought EA dropped the ball with them. The dolls were (sometimes) fine for childhood but as a teen and older? EA should have included a permanent "goodbye" option with the dolls for teens and above. It could have been a nice way to symbolize a sim finally letting go of childhood fantasies as they become more mature. The only IF I made read was for an Insane sim, who married his IF.
