This is the first time I've had a Toddler complain about the music being loud. He's the youngest of six kids, the eldest three are now teens, first the twins boys and then the first daughter. He's got two Child sisters, too. As it happens a quirk will popup and a certain Sim will play music as loud as possible. I've had two of the older kids do this. So at the moment, I cannot say for sure which one is guilty for the stereo blasting, causing Peter some consternation. This is Peter, but not the picture I thought I'd taken. He was really huffy, stamping his little foot over and over. Oh, well, not the first shot I've failed to capture. (Just for the record, I didn't make him deaf. He aged up from Infant with the hearing aids on. I thought I had removed them, but it must have been on only one of his outfits. Guess I have my work cut out for me.) I have really mixed feelings about whether or not he should have a hearing impairment. What I don't have mixed feelings about is the game randomly assigning such things to my born in game Sims, which is why I removed them post haste.
They way I do Hearing aids on my sims is if they get them on their everyday outfits on age up then roll a number between 1 and 100. 50 and below they get hearing aids for their entire life and above they don't. The exceptions are certain occults like ghosts, Vampires or any occult that are undead. He's cute as well and I can see he is wearing a batuu outfit :)
Interesting concept you have. My thoughts about his tantrum over the loud music, is that perhaps, since my game is set somewhere in the 23rd century, is that in his toddlerhood he was deemed old enough for a highly specialized, but risky, bit of surgery to reverse the defect. That he is just home from the hospital, and since he was only used to feeling the music, not hearing it, he is understandably upset at the pain in his wee ears. Not sure, though, if I'll run with this plot.
I do like that plot. Up to you though how it will go :)
