Once I’ve had a pack for a while I have trouble working out how much I use it or remembering what features came with it. But reading all the comments here has helped me see that my family gameplay would be pretty empty without the Parenthood pack. I can’t image how my kids’ and teens’ lives would be if I didn’t have it now. I love so many things that come with the pack: the school projects, the family noticeboard, the doctor set, the journal, parents being able to discipline their kids, even kids making a mess (occasionally). Last night when I played, one of my kids was going through the picky eater phase and was grumbling the whole time while the family sat down together to eat a grand meal. I found that the mum had an interaction (I can’t remember what it was) that basically told off the kid for complaining! I loved that. I use those interactions all the time in my family gameplay. I haven’t ever actively worked towards making any kids turn out in a particular way, so I just choose the pop-up options depending on how I feel the parent/kid dynamic works in that family. The pack just adds so much depth to family gameplay, and I can’t say I’ve ever found any aspect of it irritating. I recommend it.
