Me too! I was surprised to find out that the chaperones mentioned in the official announcement are actually strangers. I didn’t notice it at first since at the time I only have children on my save, I did saw some adults at the playground but none of them are parents to any of the kids, so I thought it only applied to toddlers.
When I saw a mod that will make chaperones for the toddlers to be their parents, I still thought that it was for other stuff, not related to new playground venue. Until I saw it for myself when a toddler from my other household spawn on the lot, and the chaperone was really a stranger…
I really hope that the current settings for the chaperones will be changed for better immersion, I don’t want to rely on mod for things that should have been made and thought properly before being implemented. And not everyone can mod their game.
