Kids and businesses.

Something I have found out through my own play through and testing is that child Sims are able to have the 'start business' want and are also able to buy a business venue and start their own home business. I don't think this is an intended feature? Hence why I am sharing it.

Through my own testing, the child Sim is able to purchase a business venue, and when switching to an adult Sim in the same household, the business does not come up under their small business tab meaning said business is owned by the child themselves.The child Sim is also able to perform the business interactions with customer Sims the same way an adult Sim can, I will assume this part is intentional behaviour. 

I find the start a home business want to be 'clogging up' a child Sims wants. As I see more often than not, the start a home business want to be taking the place of child appropriate wants. The cause of this is likely due to the child Sims trait of self assured, but I cannot be 100% certain since I haven't tested that far. Personally, in my opinion, I find this to be an issue since I don't think it is an intended feature, as well as being unrealistic for a child Sim to own their own business/business venue.

For the record I own all the packs minus the star wars pack and play on PC. The only mods I play with are MCCC and a mod to remove festival notifications. I don't see how those mods would affect child Sims want behaviour.
