OMGoodness, If I made a written list of all the quirky things I do in game, this site would shut down from server overload!
Familywise:
1). I make certain the parents of my Sim children (and teens) meet the parents of the Sims they play/interact with. Sometimes things happen and when they do I like having the option to have my Sim parents 'complain' about that sim (usually a teen) to their parents.
2). I have my parents pick their children up from friends' houses when it is late or dark outside. I just don't like seeing children peddling around alone at 10 o'clock at night. I don't care if the neighborhood is safe.
3). Everyone must keep a piece of fruit in their personal inventory for when they become hungry.
4). Walk! If they live close enough, I love having my Sims walk to the park or to visit neighbors in their neighborhood.
5). Speaking of walking, teens are not allowed automatic use of the family ride. They are given bicycles as their 'mode of transportation' and when they get part-time jobs or earn money through other means, they can purchase themselves a scooter to ride on (or a sloppy jalopy if they really need a car).
6). Use the WHOLE house. This place isn't just for eating, sleeping, using the bathroom and doing homework. 9 times out of 10 my sims have worked very hard turning the house they started in into a real home. I make them pay for everything, from upgrading furnishings to renovations so, every inch of that lot gets used.
*Living rooms are for visitors of adults (or adults w/toddlers) and family-time (of course).
*Front Porches/Basements/Dens/Backyards are spaces where kids and teens can entertain their visiting guests. I also keep a few toys on the front porch of families with toddlers.
*Single guests of children and teens are allowed to hang out in their bedrooms if they want.
7). I keep additional food in the fridge for the babysitter.
8). I keep a toybox in the living room for visiting toddlers and childish Sims.
9). I can all leftovers and keep the pantry stocked with ingredients (Needs the canning station & canning station overhaul mod).
10). Create and stock medicines and rejuvenators for my families. This needs SN for some elixirs, canning station overhaul mod for double boiled ginseng to cure illness and, a healthy stock of sweet grass, life fruit and death flowers.
11). This one is not family related. My sims who own a business with employees always host the annual holiday party (at a community lot).
