The always welcome reward.

It shouldn't really be needed though to visit your own family home and cook food. It's bad design.

Yeah, I wish the developers could at least code this down to make sims recognized relationships, so that there's some context in appropriateness.

I agree completely but they did ask for a workaround which is why I mentioned the reward. :)

it's just generic coding, they probably gave a reaction preset for any sim. but it's good to give feedback about these small details as devs may be able to give them a quick fix. i think there was a mod for this but it hasn't been updated

That also happened in my game when a mother visited her daughter's new home and started cooking :/

I shouldn't be the only person that get offended to my Sims parents asking him to behave when he decided to take a nap in his old room. He chose to visit them out of the goodness of his heart its as if they disowned him.

Maybe that's the reason they gave us the always welcome reward?

Sims should definitely react differently when their own child gets "too" house warm, rather then when a stranger does it. It's no big deal to me though, as my students never visit their family during a term. But this also counts for relatives, like adult siblings or old parents visiting your home. In RL I might think to myself that a sister could kind of ask before roaming my fridge, but if she did starts cooking without asking me beforehand, it would any way harm our relation way less than if a stranger did the same.

Maybe the easy solution would be to have the option to simply ask permission to cook, sleep and all that other familiar stuff. Then, the house owner would more likely accept if the one asking is a close relative or a close friend. Both relation, mood and traits could affect whether permission was given or not. It's a bit more technical than normal family life would be, but this is a game after all. And - a chance of a challenge would just add to the fun.

Does anyone else think that if a university sim visits home their parents shouldn't get mad when they cook or shower? They yell at you and then eventually kick you out! I get it if you're over at a random persons house, but your family home?! Anyone know of any work arounds for this?

I used to have that problem a lot. I sent my university student back home for a one day visit. I was expecting her mom to kick her out or tell her to stop as usual while she was making a cake, but nothing happened this time. Things are looking up, I guess lol
