@Scobre So I've watched the videos posted here (and grateful for them!) and it has me both more interested, and more not. Interested because it's one way to get more humor and grossness into an otherwise way-too-bland game (burps, farts, even sharts!? I'd enjoy that) but certain things like kids having to go through a Furry phase? Way out there and super annoying.
So you've really got my attention with what you're saying, that the features are there, but you don't have to use them? So if I don't want to be an intensive super-parent, I can just play like I otherwise would and things will be fine?
Also, what's the deal with curfew? Does there HAVE to be one? Do parents get to choose the time or is it set by the game?
And if I do not make my kids/teens go to school, using a mod to make it optional, I sure hope this pack wouldn't shove school down our throats as a necessity. I mean kids who don't go to school can still study, "do homework" so is that enough?
Yeah I ignore the furry phase. XD The emo phase is fun just because Sims want to dress in black. Yeah you don't have to use the features. There doesn't have to be a curfew, it is optional too. You have 3 times to pick from with the curfew set by the game. The school isn't that much different from the base game. They just have these special assignments they bring home from school which your kids can do but they don't have to. There are also two versions of the projects, so rushing it makes lower quality objects.
The burps, farting, and cussing are super fun.
There's actually 3 versions of the projects :) A Poor, Good, and Excellent quality when they are done them.
OP, They don't have to be done, but you get bonus credit in school for doing them. (THey don't lower performance if you don't) They also build a skill. I like them because they are one of the few things that can be done as a group... up to 5 sims can work on them together age child and up.
They receive them every Monday at school, but you can buy them more often from build mode. And you have the choice to work carefully or sloppily. The more sims work on them at a time the faster they get completed.
Curfews I never use, but I do like grounding my kids when they misbehave.
Honestly I love the pack as a family player but each play style is different. And you don't HAVE to be more involved really.
