One of the few game packs I don’t enjoy. I think the sim team generally did a good job with game packs but parenthood is not it, at least not for me. Basically kids come with 5 trait bars which can go green or red. Do homework your responsibility bar goes up. Break curfew it goes down. It sounds good until you realise the traits they get don’t really do much to the gameplay. It is the flaw of sims 4 trait system and parenthood building on this system is therefore not enjoyable for me.
I really appreciate this. This is the kind of detail that I needed. I also appreciate everyone else who took the time, because I have heard how much some people love it, and wondered if I were jumping to too many conclusions. But if it doesn't come with any really alluring additional gameplay or objects or better radio stations or interactions, and it's just homework and curfew and whether to disclipine and making kids act a whole lot worse than they otherwise would, I am seriously leaning in your direction.
Big question: you obviously bought it and don't like it: so what do you do? Can you uninstall it? Or does it dog the rest of your game in all worlds, any time someone has a kid it has to be this way, now?
Honestly one of my favorite things is taking tech away from teens as a punishment. It has really nice build/buy items too especially for the kitchen. It is one of those packs you can use the features and parenting skill does come with it which can help managing toddlers easier, but a lot of the gameplay actions can be avoided and are labeled with the icon. So it is kind of like Tiny Living in a way the features are there, but you don't have to use them. It does help bring more personality to the Sims if you choose to use some of those features either by making kids responsible or not for example.
