@Amapola76 I love little time wasters. I've lost track of how many times I've had a sim stuck with nothing to really do for that last 30 minutes or so before leaving for something. I never thought about getting my ladies a soccer ball they could mess round with. Almost all my sims are active so it would fit for them. I've been a little disappointed with the "cook together" thing. It's always the other sim just comes over and talks to the cook. I thought it would be something like mentoring, or both of them work together, but there really isn't that much to do in preparing a meal if I'm honest. The idea of activities with interaction between parents and their kids is long overdue. This feels like a golden opportunity to add some.
Yes, and given that this pack is teen-focused, more interactions between older and younger siblings would also be great. It would be so cute to show a teen sibling showing the younger sibs how to throw a football, do a cheer routine, etc.
Some of my favorite memories from TS2, in particular, are the oldest child in the family teaching their toddler sibling how to talk, the younger kids how to play soccer, etc. I've never tried to do a one-to-one comparison to TS2 or TS3, but it definitely feels like we have less options for those types of interactions. It seems like the only things they can really do now are watch tv together, or maybe throw water balloons during the summer. (Even for that, the water balloon fights seem to end after just a few seconds, compared to older versions of the game. I remember in TS2 in particular, I would always have siblings build their relationship with a water balloon fight on the first day, because after just one interaction, they were well into the green.)
