Yes, but it was still fun to role play as a strict parent and send your teen kid to a military school. Plus, it was a way to avoid their teen dramas, although they'd get a bit ???? about it.
Lol, that's not very funny. You could still make a military school if you want and move your sim child out of the household for a while. I think Strangerville has a lot big enough for a school. :)
Yes, but with generations you didn't have to play them, just an occasional pop-up asking about an interaction. It was the only way to play with kids in the family,IMHO, it left you with time to focus on the adults and their careers and fun time.
They need a patch to add that.
~~~~don't worry IRL I don't have any kids~~~~- The major problem with Generations was the extreme randomness that could screw any plans you have for your sims. Most of the features acted in complete randomness with (almost) no way to affect it.
Midlife crisis? Random, though it was like a 90% chance for males and 10% for females. If it was, at least, based on traits or something (and TS3 did well on traits) - I'd be okay with it, because, in real life, this is personality-based.
Imaginary friend? A baby born randomly got it or didn't, and you couldn't change that without cheating. You couldn't get rid of the IF without cheating if they annoyed you (and as someone who doesn't understand that trope at all, they bugged the hell out of me - it was what brought me to actually use any other cheat than MOO).
Prom? You better have a partner for your teen secured or you may as well end up with your heir in a same-sex relationship (and thus either spend a lot of time dealing with a random event on roll back a save - in a game that could easily save/load 10+ minutes and crashed even unmodded that not saving every 20 minutes was a major risk)
Canes for elders sound good on paper but they walked so slow that they needed over an hour of game-time to cross a 64x64 lot. If you wanted to only send them between the fridge, bathroom, and bed - okay. If you wanted them to actually do something that involved moving more than 10 squares... take a week off.
So, the only failproof feature were the treehouses and maybe the new party types.
And the boarding school option was nice if you hated playing with kids - or if you were (un)lucky to have twins/triplets and wanted to alleviate some of that.

If you miss it that much, just create a household where both adults are in a military job and move your unwanted kids in with them. Decorate the house to look like a military school. Move them back in your house right before they need to go to college. :smiley:- Boarding school is an awesome feature for when your adult Sim need a break from a kid.

Why isn't it funny? And that is not the same at all.
Boarding schools had their benefits, sims would learn skills on their own and some other stuff.

Again very different. And we have to control the clubs. Not really understanding your issue with this feature.- Also the only hope, more logical and non cheaty way to replace your kid bad traits with a good one is through enrolling to boarding school, Military School usually replaces Loser or Innapprorpiate traits with either Brave, Active or Handy
While the boarding school for the elite(the most expensive one) will give Sim a Snob or Diva trait. "Sigzy05;c-17713928" wrote:

You don't need to control a club. If you visit places where they meet, they show up and do their thing. I don't have an issue with this feature, I just don't like rabbit holes. They were overused in TS3."crocobaura;c-17713916" wrote:

Wow, that is way too much work. Hoping they give us this in the future."Sigzy05;c-17713928" wrote:
