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 think they went totally wrong with the IF interpretation. In my opinion it should have been an invisible kid that does naughty stuff, that would disappear at reaching teen age (what teen has an invisible friend, come on). With only an opportunity to visualise it during the period the sim is a kid (leaving out the very annoying constantly playing with the doll thing; the kid should urn that by playing with the IF a lot - in a how kids play way, play tag, things like that - and then giving them the opportunity to make the IF visible. I hate the creepy doll and it gets creepier and creepier when it grows up. A big, galumphing bag, that's what it is.
(and not every kid should have one, it should be a 'weeeeee, my kid's got an IF!!!' kind of feature)
@JoAnne65 First off, nice use of "galumphing". ;)
Second, I agree with you about IFs. The first one I got in a game, it started out ok, but then I noticed that playing with the IF was all my kid would do, even to the point of neglecting his own needs. He would be filthy, exhausted & starving, but when I would send him to bathe, eat, etc. the IF would interrupt him to play with it. If that wasn't annoying/creepy enough, when I checked out the IF's traits, it had mean-spirited & evil!
I agree with @Candyd about the "Chucky" thing. Seriously, I don't know why but it seems like IF's always get the worst traits. Actually...now that I think about, when toddlers "play" with the dolls, they mostly just punch, hit & bite the dolls a lot...maybe that's why IF's end up with bad traits...abusive toddlers! If the toddlers only "sing" to IF dolls, do the IF's get better traits? hmm...
@jillbg Taiga does look a lot like Shannen Doherty... watch out, she might quit after the 3rd season!
Lol, I used an online dictionary for that, I'd never heard of that word :p And indeed, most of the IF's that made it to being alive had nasty traits.... And you might be on to something there concerning the reason :D
