Teens are boring
Like my title says, teens are all same-y, you can't make a delinquent or one that wants to start a band because there's no features that allow teens to do that. It's like they have no identity outside...

I had him break his curfew. Other than a text from his Mother at 11pm, my sim strolled in at 4:30 in the morning to find his Mum dancing in the living room. She didn’t even look up or react to her teenage son breaking his curfew. He walked into the room with a bowl of cereal and started watching the kids network, no harm no foul. Was I meant to imagine that she was unhappy her son had been disobedient and stayed out till the small hours? I know, I know, I’m meant to cancel her dance interaction and have her “parent him” but the truth is I don’t really see the point other than to grind the character value bar one way or another. My sim didn’t care that her kid stayed out all night. Had I not made her react she wouldn’t have given a monkeys.
Yup, that's one of the worst things about parenthood - curfew. I mean, what's the point if no one really cares?
Although I find that IF they see them, they do often go there to say something about curfew, but 90% of the time they don't and I like you will not put in the effort to force a reaction :)
Exactly. It's one of the reasons I love the sims 2. Teens that sneak out have to make sure they aren't caught as their parents do care and will call them on it. (As I imagine most parents would) I mean even if you want to play the story of a parent that doesn't care you can cancel the interaction or keep the parent occupied if they aren't sleeping so they don't notice little Albert sneaking in at breakfast time.
