Ugh, Family Moodlet

I get this moodlet too from the Parenthood pack, but I hadn't connected it with their familial relationships as a child! Will definitely have to pay more attention to that, I thought it was just another random mood swing!

One of my Sims was a Clingy toddler; he's now a Child (about to age up to Teen) and he gets Tense from being around non-family members or non-caregivers. That makes it rough because he lives with his step-father Gunther Munch, Gunther's wife Cassidy, and their two children Jaxon and Michaela. I have him write in his journal a lot and that takes care of the general Tense mood, but I wonder if it'll continue into YA or if I should look into getting him the purchase reward that means your Sim doesn't get Tense.

I also had one toddler with the clingy trait. He's now a teen and no longer seems to be bothered by being around non-family members at all.

OMG, I am grown and there are times I can so relate to the moodlet :D

My sims are the opposite!!

None of my Sims' toddler traits have ever carried over to the child stage, but child Sims can go through a clingy phase. Maybe that could be it.

I had this happen once but i didn't check on the relation with his parents. I actually never checked on that cause i thought it didn't had any impact on the game. Im glad it has.
My sim had this moodlet during a phase. When he became a YA the moodlet still appeared when he was around his parents. I thought it was a bug. But now that i think, he was hot headed and has argued a lot with his parents during his teen years. So he most problaby had a bad relation with them.

I hope they will update this now when we have “sentiments” and add “lifelong” sentiments (that´s not fade unless you do not work on them =reconciliation). That way the sims can instead get a “lifelong” sentiment (unhelpful parent/helpful parent = negative/positive sentiment) to a parent when they grow up and chose to get rid of the sentiment by trying to forgive/confront the parent.
