I’d like to see talents incorporated in with the skills. It would be fun to see a child or teen have a natural talent for an instrument, for example. Or swimming, not just ‘fitness’ in general. Teens often define themselves by what they’re good at or interested in.
Interests could be edited by reading magazines in TS2, and they often led to more successful conversations among like-minded sims. It would be fun to play with interests again and have them lead to autonomous behavior that was more unique to that sim.
Rounding out their personalities would certainly help but we also could use some gameplay. School dances, learning to drive, any milestones like that should be an option. But also little things like just being noticed by parents if they’re not in bed and it’s 2am, or them begging to go to some concert that goes late. I know they added some curfew stuff in Parenthood but I don’t use it because there’s nothing leading them to do anything anyway. Are there even consequences if you don’t cause them? Teens (and kids, for that matter) shouldn’t have as much freedom as their parents to come and go at any hour. I want to see them all autonomously react more to what other family members are doing and what guests are in the house.
And this is a little pet peeve but why are they in school until 3pm like children are? I’d like some after school sports or other activities that actually occur “after school”.
