Adult Sims are less likely to autonomously watch Kids Network if Toddlers/Children/Teens aren't nearby.
Fixed in Patch 1.58.63
I don't know if this is a bug or what, but ever since I installed the Parenthood game pack, whenever my adult/elder sims go to turn on the TV, they turn it on to the kids' channel, whether there is a child in the room or not. I don't know why they would automatically choose to watch this channel, since it gives anyone who is not a child (or has the "childish" trait) a negative "bored" moodlet. Before this game pack, they all seemed to have their own channel preferences (my active sim liked to watch the sports channel, etc.) and they would automatically choose that channel when they turned on the TV, but now, not so. I haven't seen anything anywhere about this, so I don't know if this is unique to my game or if other people have seen this happen as well. It's not a major issue, but it's annoying to have to continually micro-manage my sims' TV habits to prevent a negative moodlet all the time.
So far, the only one who seems to be capable of auto-choosing a channel that is NOT Kids Network is my teen sim, who still seems to choose whatever she wants.
I don't have any mods or custom content, just a few game and stuff packs, and one or two of the expansions.
could you please try the following troubleshooting steps
EDIT: Couldn't duplicate this in my game
Well, I've discovered a little bit more. It only happens when sims decide autonomously to watch TV. If you tell them to watch TV, they will choose another channel. I haven't been able to replicate it with another family yet, but none of them have chosen to watch TV on their own yet, so I can't tell if they're affected or not.
I am planning to move the affected family to another lot, so we'll have to see if the problem follows them there or not.
I assume it does not matter which channel was watched last ?
My Sim choose something else autonomously although the Sim is childish.
