Pregnancy and Siblings
When a pregnant Sim tells her partner she’s pregnant, he gets a +2 Happy moodlet because he’s excited to be a father. When she shares the same news with her other children... no moodlet or anything. I’d like to see them get the moodlet as well, because shouldn’t they be excited to have a new sibling?
Yes, I know they get a moodlet after the baby’s born, but shouldn’t they have some sort of reaction to finding out they’re going to be a big sibling soon? Maybe they could even have a chance of getting a negative moodlet if they don’t want a new sibling, like they sometimes do when they meet the new baby.
I also think it’d be cute if children could ask their parents where babies come from - come on, kids are naturally curious. Hearing their parents’ “explanation” could give them a moodlet as well, like:
+1 Playful - if they think it’s silly that they were told babies are brought to the doorstep by a magic llama (come on, it’d totally be a llama instead of a stork)
+1 Happy - they’re happy that they were “educated” on where babies come from (but the moodlet description would suggest they were also given the llama “explanation”)
+1 Sad or Angry - if they were just told to ask again when they’re older
