It's nice that kids are more independent. However, when the kid is out past midnight, up in the club, and the parents don't show any real concern until the kid finally gets home... Naaaah. I liked TS2 when the parents came looking for their kids.

I loved this. It really breaks immersion for me now that it's gone. Makes the Sims feel even more lifeless than they already do. This also happened in the first game as well. Little things making a big difference. :/
