Pardon the wall of ensuing text.

In my game, I have my chosen heir marry a townie. Usually a teenage sweetheart or childhood friend. Someone in their age bracket so they can grow old together. So pretty much whatever traits the townie has, I just roll with it. I have got to play with all sort of traits in all sorts of combinations. I hit the trifecta of traits in my current heirs husband and I thought endless amount of drama and entertainment would follow. But alas, no. So please meet Jeron Tilley:



The handsome devil himself. His traits are Jealous, Mean and Hates Children. He has provided some entertainment. He is a loving, devoted and over-protective husband. His jealous side comes into play a lot. He is always tense when his wife isn't in the same room. When they have a club gathering in the home, if she talks to another male sim, he gets mad, does a jealous animation, the romance/friendship bars take an immediate hit. Tense is his most common mood, as he is always obsessing over his wife. He isn't mean to her, but he does a lot of mischief actions towards her. Passerby sims on the street usually get his rage. My problem with him ... he is the best dang father to his child. Hates children trait has zero affect on his own child.

When she has her kids only clubhouse gathering, he goes into fits. He will go destroy the dollhouse, be all happy that the kids are crying over the broken dollhouse. All of her little friends that are in the club drive him into angry. But when they leave, he wants to cuddle, love on and be a great dad. I wish it to be changed. While no, I don't expect him to be mean to his own child ... but at least tense and not want to spend time, cuddle and auto-hug. If the sim hates children, then just let them hate children, even if it is their own. Just like in life, not all parents are great parents and some parents do not like their own children.

So I think it should be adjusted. If the sim hates children, let them hate children, even if it is their own.

Its not just this trait that is broken, several are. My evil sim will CONSTANTLY hug her "enemies", its freaking bizarre and has happened since day one of the game coming out. They will do an evil interaction and then immediately hug the sim as if what just transpired didn't happen, it makes the traits pointless.

This game has the potential to be sooooo much fun, but its ridiculously broken and they just don't fix it.
