Teen living

I like them better than dead ones! :) But seriously, you mean living alone? Absolutely, that's fine. It's a lot of fun in fact. I hate the universal curfew imposed in Sims3. What if your teen works a night job? The police still round them up at midnight if they didn't make it home by then and the game grounds them even if you don't want that, so they aren't even allowed to go to school the next day, but then they get grounded again for skipping school. And again for going to their night job. It's nuts.

That's one thing better about Sims 4, teens can do what teens are actually capable of and should be free to do in real life (and used to be, in the US, and still are in a lot of places) which is go get their own job and their own place or some roomates by a certain age, like 16 is old enough. I've known several people who were out on their own at 16.

If we treat teens like they are babies, and force them to live as if they were, it's our own fault if they act like they still are.

Yeah. Curfew is really, really annoying. But if you are not against mods there is a addon that allows you to disable curfew! And I love teen living also, one teenager sittin' down, watching TV, spending the night partying up if curfew is absent, with no one watching or finding out!
