Is There Anything in it For Me if I Buy Parenthood
I've not bough Parenthood because my Sims don't have children, is there enough other content there to make it worth getting if you don't have kid?
Forum Discussion
About 80% of the content is about parenting, teens and family activities.
Some of the new objects with gameplay are doctor playset (can be used by children only. If they play lot with it, they'll get a postive moodlet when they become doctors/run a vet clinic), block building table (can be used by an adult, but great for families), family bulletin board (usually used to set curfew to teens, children, and toddlers), and private journals (can be used by an adult, helps to get rid of negative emotions faster).
The new skill is Parenting skill. Only young adults and older can learn it. That's it with the skills.
There are new relationship types with parents, siblings, and grandparents depending on how they treated them during the childhood. As these are only applied when teen becomes a young adult, it's again useless to you.
There is a new aspiration called Super Parent...
There are 10 new character value traits. Character values are values that toddlers, children, and teens have. These can be affected with parenting... If high enough, it can give a positive or negative trait once they become young adult. You can only get these by cheats then...
There are new interactions. For all ages, you can make sims fart, burp, and shout forbitten words (sims can alos shove each other). Sims can also help other sims fix negative relationship between them and set the tables. With new traits there are new chance cards, new mean socials and new helpful interactions (introduction that makes friends easily ect). While you may not experience teen mood swings, you may experience adult mood swings if they have uncontrolled emotions.
In short:
This game pack is all about parenting and as you do not play with families, so I do not recommend this game pack to you.
Unless you try out raising a family in the game (I always recommend trying different playstyles), this game pack doesn't have a lot for you.
I'd recommend seeing some videos about this game pack (most of them include family-play). Here are some videos under the spoiler:
