Disappointed in Creativity Scout Badge

I have a set of twins who are learning to play the violin. (Yep, they are the daughters of the fellow in my avatar. He's mentoring them, and they are learning quickly.) The girls joined the scouting program before they got their violins. As they soon leveled up in creativity, I expected them to earn the creativity badge. Nope. It's only for drawing and crafts. I think that's downright plummy.

I love the Parenthood pack. It's added so much to my game. I'm just wishing there was a bit more to the scouting program. Back in Sims 2, I was one of the few players who LOVED -- and I mean LOVED in capital letters -- the Freetime EP. Giving my sims different hobbies was wonderful, and I guess I was hoping for something more like that with scouting.

As a musician in real life, I definitely want to see musical skill rewarded in the scouting program.

What badges would you want to see?

  • Just wanted to say, scouting came with Seasons , not Parenthood.

    I wish we could customize the badges that they work towards. I don't like how every single scout works toward the exact same badges. Scout troops do different things and I wish we could reflect that. I also agree that music should add to creativity.
  • To me the whole scouting thing is a disaster , I tried it then promptly took them out of the scouts , I hate they wear their scout uniforms all the time if you are not playing that family , Plus who thought it would be a good idea to have them go to scout meetings both weekend days , why not one evening a week .It annoyed me when i had a childrens or teens group outing in a park and hey presto , most of the others in the group disappear off to scouts
  • I agree about the meetings and uniforms. I do find though that my children are more willing to help out with doing dishes and other household chores. With a few tweaks, it could be a good addition to the game. I just want more variety with badges.

    Then what did Drama Club come with my sims child is the Drama Club.


    Drama Club came with "Get Famous". I just got that EP last week. I'm hoping with have more of these activities with future packs.

    I want it to be ACTIVE.

    Can’t you make it acting by starting a drama club in get together and building a place, or places with some of the acting stuff and X’s. Or, won’t it let teens and children use the equipment?
  • I think instruments count towards the badge but it might only apply to teens. I honestly don't know. I got my sim into writing but I didn't complete that "career" until he was a teen so I can't really recall.
