Adult Sims are less likely to autonomously watch Kids Network if Toddlers/Children/Teens aren't nearby.
Fixed in Patch 1.58.63
Forgot @Anita_Montresor
I have seen this myself and wondered if it was by design with the Parenthood GP. Will troubleshoot and see if they make any difference.
The family I have noticed this with existed before Parenthood was installed, after the pack was installed the issue began.
Edit #1:
After starting a new game entirely, it would seem the Kids Network is only chosen autonomously by adults when a toddler/child is in the same room, else it would be Cooking show or a movie.
Testing continues...
Hi @Hroun_88
thanks for your feedback and testing. That sounds like it could be AD.
@Anita_Montresor Does this same thing happen for you ?
What traits do your Sims have ?
Upon returning to the original affected save file, it seems to be behaving. Sims will autonomously select either Kids Network or a movie when a child sim is in the same room. Will update if something goes awry.
Update: It would seem that things are very inconsistent. Sims will select any channel as it was before the GP being installed. I've seen them also pick Romance and World Culture when a child is present and on the sofa next to them.
Tested using auto-solve with:
- Teen and Adult sims without a child in the same room
- Teen and Adult sims with child in the same room
- Child awake and asleep in the same room (napping on sofa)
@crinrict The two sims I've noticed being affected were Loves Outdoors, Cheerful, Outgoing, and Loves Outdoors, Cheerful, Creative (although the second of the two has since passed away from old age).
I feel as though they have switched to Kids' Network when the child was not in the room, but I don't remember exactly. I'll have to do some experimentation on that front. It's kind of hard to get the child out of the room--they live in Crick Cabana at Willow Creek, which as you probably know is a very small house on a tiny lot (which is part of the reason I want to move them to a different lot--not enough space).
Added this
My sims only become obsessed with the Kids' Network after they've had a child. I wouldn't mind so much if it didn't always give them the bored moodlet.
The only way to stop this is to have no TV.
