can fitness stuff pack stuff be used by kids?

I believe kids can play basketball if you have City Living or at least do some of the options for it. I believe they even change into their fitness clothes to do it! I'm pretty sure they can't use the climbing wall though which was the only new fitness item in the Fitness Pack.

No, kids can't use the objects from the fitness pack :/
Only teens and older can use them.

Kids can only use the earbuds from Fitness Stuff, so they can listen to music without disturbng the rest of the family.

thanks. so there aren't really many options to keep kids fit! no wonder childhood obsesity is so rampant!

They should bring back tag in this game. Kids still do play tag, right?

They can only play video games and iPad ! I want them to be able to play outside!

So far we only have the monkey bars and jungle gym if you want kids to play outside. And the basketball hoop if you have City Living installed.

And swimming....and the water slide. You can also put things for them to play with.....like the dollhouse, the one shaped like a tree is particuarly suitable....or you can put don't wake the llama or a foosball table on a back patio.

Generally, no. I'm sure there's a kid somewhere playing tag right now but it's not nearly as common as it was 20-30 years ago.

Honestly, the no fitness skill for kids bugs the crap out of me. What's the point in maxing motor if there's no adult skills to get a jump on? The only one you can get is "video gaming" which seems...odd :-/ I was a super active kid, I did sports and gymnastics and dance and martial arts...I had abs from age 11! I could do two dozen push ups--on my fingertips! I worked out 7 days a week! There are kids like that! Why aren't they in the sims??? I get that the equipment isn't designed for them, but they should still be able to build fitness from swimming and doing sit-ups and stuff, and they should be able to go jogging at least.

Seriously. this bugs me. I almost always cheat my rambunctious scamps fitness skill up a bit when they age to a teen, but I shouldn't have to!

I can assure you they do. At least in Germany it's still popular... What about other countries? I'd really like to know that.

Here is one more vote for the developers to include "play tag" or ("and" would be a dream) "rope skipping" in a future EP/GP/SP.
