    PARENTHOOD GP REFRESH
    • 1. Change the “Ugh! I hate my family” moodlet (from a negative upbringing to a Life long Sentiment (will stay the same if you don’t work on it ex. through therapy = possibilities for reconciliation!)
    • 2. Tune down the Making a mess action (kids). They should also stop this autonomous behavior when they reach Responsible status. It’s repetitive with cleaning up colors from the floor! Maybe there can be other “disobedient” actions added?
    • 3. More best friends (Which kid should I choose?)
    • 4. Kids can have Positive / Negative / Neutral childhood with consequences (Parents can feel guilt if their kid get a Negative childhood)
    • 5. Improved pregnancies (Visitable hospitals / Surrogacy machine + DNA donator for single or Gay sims that want to have a child!)
    • 6. NEW FEATURE: PARENT GOALS & FEARS
    • 7. DEPTH TO UPBRINGING RELATIONSHIPS (consequences!)
    • 8. An easy cheat to get a specific Upbringing relationship (sometimes your story start in adulthood!)
    • 9. Parenthood Traits showing in the Sim Info Panel +through Get To Know interaction
    • 10. A Memory system (long time memories)

    MEMORY SYSTEM SIMS 4
    https://thumbs.modthesims2.com/img/8/0/7/1/7/6/9/MTS_DiLight-1487502-6YVMaeidbFI.jpg

    • Green X = Positive sentiments / events
    • Red X = Angry / Negative sentiments / events
    • Yellow X = Embarrassed sentiment / event
    • Blue X = Sad sentiments / events
    • Brown X = Redefined memories
      (earlier positive memory that has changed temporarily after gaining a negative sentiment)


    • Orange with a “!”-symbol!X = a “struggle” Life Struggles Pack
    • Golden with a “!”-symbol!X = a treated “struggle” Life Struggles Pack


    Sims remember their memories and will at random get a moodlet with the memory (Memory Moodlet)
    (eg. "Simsis was born") that have the same buff as back then (e.g. “+1 happy”).
    This moodlet will give them the interaction share memory with other sims that are included in the memory (e.g. parents can share a memory of a child birth). This will make the other sim remember = trigger their memory moodlet.

    Redefined memories = sims will get a Negative moodlet (tensed/sad/angry) when remembering these memories. The Redefined memories will turn back into Positive memories when the negative sentiment disappears.

    NEW FEATURE: PARENT GOALS & FEARS
    A. Parents / Grandparents can set Goals / Fears for their Kids / Grandkids (Toddler-Teen)
    B. Authoritative Parents / Grandparents (Punishing parent / Commanding Prescence / Oh Captain, My Captain) can also set Goals / Fears for Adult kids / Grandkids (YA-Elder)
    C. Sims react unique to fulfilling their parents Goals / Fears depending on the upbringing relationship (ex. Repressed Child = want to revolt).

    Examples on Parent Goals / Fears:
    -Get a specific Degree
    -Get a specific Job / Salary
    -Marry a specific sim (Rich / Famous / Gender / Career)
    -Get a child
    -Earn certain amount of money
    -Get famous (4 star level)
    -Max a certain skill


    DEPTH TO UPBRINGING RELATIONSHIPS
    Upbringing relationships (ex. Mommy dearest / Family Frenemy) unlock unique Interactions / Sentiments / Moodlets through life.

    Examples.

    Passive parents / Unhelpful parent
    Negative / Neutral relationship + No discipline
    A. Can feel Guilty (sentiment / moodlet) when their kids are grown up
    B. Sims with an Passive / Unhelpful parent can put Guilt on the parent when having a negative moodlets (decrease the moodlet + relationship)

    Punishing parent / Commanding Presence / Oh Captain, My Captain
    Authoritative Parent = A lot of Discipline
    A. Can set Parent Goals / Fears for their adult kids (YA-Elder)
    B. Can put Guilt on their kids when having a negative moodlets (decrease the moodlet + relationship)
