Should I get Parenthood?
Always thought it’d be pretty sweet to expand on child and teen relations to their parents but is it really worth it? What are the best (and worst things) about the pack to you guys?

I love Parenthood! It makes toddlers and children have a lot more going on. Now you don't just have skills, you also want them to turn out right (or bad, depending on what you're roleplaying!).
Honestly, I think it's my favorite game pack because it's just always impacting my gameplay. Not only toddlers, but Sims that are now adult and have the new traits will play a little differently. They might be neater, able to do polite introductions, help other Sims calm down their emotions, etc...
The only thing I don't like is the chance cards - you will be given prompts like when a child is asking for advice, and then all the options will raise one of their traits and lower the other (say responsibility vs. emotional control). They're good at first, but it can be frustrating to pick one that lowers a trait that's really hard to raise back up (like Empathy). Parenting level 10 helps with that, though.
