Now that we have infants...

I successfully removed the beloved trait off of both parents and since the dad is not a celebrity, I tried to see if he could interact with either of the infants but it was still the same as before. The interactions are limited to ones that would exist if the parent was a stranger to the infant :/ I even tried restarting the game to see if that would make a difference but it didn’t :(

Did you try traveling with the family at all? Sometimes when you travel to another lot and return to the home lot, things reset themselves. You could try with the whole family, if that doesn't work, try with just each parent separately, see if that helps. Also, can try going back into CAS and coming out, see if that resets the relationship now that you've removed the trait. It may not work, but worth a shot.

Depending on how far away we are from the Sims 5, I'm not sure if we will see any adjustments to teens or having tweens added to the game. I think that if they don't touch teens that tweens makes a lot of sense to implement. In the Sims 5 they 100% need more visual differences between young adults and teens. I can't stand that teens are the same height as young adults and adults. That I need to hover over sims to tell if they are teen, young adult or adult is crazy to me. I would love to see tweens, but I'm not sure if we will see them given that Sims 5 has been announced and they only have a few more packs lined up.

I'm a bit surprised that they havent fixed the genetic twin creation yet with this pack. Seriously, the game seems to think that "Create Twin = Clone of original"

This is not correct. At least, in my games, I intend for twins to be diametrics of the parents, each exhibits some of both parent's traits/genetics.. Usually, I'll have an Alien/vampire couple and will hit the genetic tool in CAS. Once I have a suitable looking spawn/child, my intent is to create a twin for the child, but with the other parents qualities. But because of how the genetics tool in CAS works, the create twin button may as well be the create clone button and I have to go back to the parental level and do create child again.

This is what I had to do with one of my newer families, strangely, the boy that was created after the girl, turned out older than the girl when I noticed, and I had to PoY both of them to fix it.

Some of these issues could be rectified with a few tweaks to the create Twin or child genetics box in CAS.

A couple questions added:

"Will this child be older or younger?"

"Parental genetics considered"

With the former of the two questions, you could actually kill the create twin genetic box entirely, but the latter question is good for adding to the Twin creation box. Just offering some thought as to how CAS could be improved. Makes sense to do something with this as we have infants now...

With Highschool pack bringing prom and they being able to date I think current teens are more like 16-19 in age, and with the Growing together making child sims loose their teeth, that happens around the the age of 6, I think there could be another life stage in between child and teen, spanning between maybe 10 to 15. They would be shorter, change their molar teeth, not be able to date, you don't need to hire a nanny for them, they still play occasionally but prefer outdoor games with their friends, basically they would be a mix of both child and teen life stages.

Omg yess! We do need that + some kind of Older Adult/Young Elder life stage as well! Some Simmers also have stated how unrealistic it is for Toddlers to turn into Children, but that is up for debate I guess. I love how they kept the original Babies and renamed them into Newborns AND also added the Infant life stage in between Newborn and Toddler, that made the game so much better for me, especially with the Growing Together expansion pack. However, they should patch the Changing Table with the Diaper Bin for Infants and Toddlers into the base game or create a brand new Base Game recolor of it.

High School Years did attempt at improving Teen Sims, however it was far from perfect. I do love how they added some elements of puberty, like the acne and body hair growth. However, in my opinion there should indeed still be a life stage in between Kids and Teens, and it could be called Tween or Pre-Teen. The Sims Freeplay has Tweens and now I do have a LOT more hope that tweens could make their way into The Sims 4 in the next few years hopefully. Also since there are more younger life stages now, maybe they could add at least one more Adult+ life stage, in between Adult and Elder. It would really help with the lifespans as sometimes it makes me laugh how Bella Goth is a Young Adult and Cassandra Goth, her daughter, is Teen, only one life stage behind! Makes no sense lol :D

Sims 5 is probably far away, 2026 or 2028. Simmers have and they will keep ignoring what Maxis and SimGurus themselves have stated a BILLION times how The Sims 4 WILL keep getting new PACKS, UPDATES & KITS for many many more YEARS. Sorry nothing personal but this kind of popular statement comment made me put off as so many Simmers keep having false belief that Sims 5 is coming very soon, I'm telling you it's not. Unless EA wants to rush release yet another incomplete base game. :* <3 o:)

With all the bugs,crashing,glitches and other bad problems piling on,I doubt that Sims 4 will last much longer. I for one will leave Sims 4 once Paralives and Life For You launches,and I imagine a lot of other Simmers could do it,too. Why should we have to keep putting up with all these bugs and glitches when EA keeps giving us content that's broken? Why should we keep giving EA our money for packs that contain a lot of set dressing and very little gameplay?

Simmers aren;t "ignoring" anyone-they're getting angry and fed up because they feel like neither the Gurus or EA is listening to them. Simmers are sick and tired of the bugs,glitches,freezing and crashing of Sims 4.
