Ugh, Family Moodlet

So my Sim recently aged up to YA and ever since, he's been getting this moodlet whenever he's around family:

Why is this? I mean, he has a bad relationship with his stepfather but he gets along just fine with his mother. When he aged up he received the traits argumentative, irresponsible, and uncontrolled emotions. Could it have anything to do with these parenting traits?
  • 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!

    i think it depends on the relationship they had with their family when they were younger. And I believe it is from parenthood, yes, but it's not from the traits. I think it's from the relationship bits they get with their parents
    my sim had a very good relationship with both of his parents and gets a happy moodlet from being around them that says "Just like old times" or something like that. it's cute :D


    :hushed: I read a post of yours saying something about Toddlers, calling them something like 'little monsters', so I figured because of that you avoid sim family play :lol:

    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.

    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.
