Your Growing Together Rating!
It is time yet again for my favorite question: how would YOU rate Growing Together? Please remember, though, as always: this is supposed to be a helpful thread for those who are still on the fence...

This is definitely my most favourite pack. I really really really wanted to give it a 10 but a few things stopped me. The first thing, like many others have said, is the world. To me it feels completely lifeless. There is quite literally nothing to do. I can't believe even the rarity of fishing spots for a town that was built up from a fishing village.
I have encountered a few bugs as well. I can't play the Michaelson family because baby Orion just gets stuck to her parent's legs. I've tried resetting them all multiple times but nothing works. I've given the bug thread on AHQ a "me too". When they interact with Orion autonomously there aren't any problems. They just don't like my directions a lot!
I was disappointed about the loose tooth bug. I had yet to experience a loose tooth. I hope this is fixed soon.
I find the "teach to ride/ask to teach to ride the bike" to be very buggy. It takes an awful lot of queueing up on both sides to get it to work and then even when it does, the child riding the bike clips through everything.
Other than these issues I absolutely ADORE this pack. You really wouldn't believe just how much I have played. I even go to sleep with my laptop on my bed next to me and wake in the night for a "quick" play. I woke at 4.20 this morning and didn't stop playing until I had to get up at 7.30!! :D
My next request now is to carry on with pack integration as new packs come out because this has been one of my most favourite features of GrT. It has worked as a glue to a lot of my other packs and brought them all together.
I would still like to see an attraction system similar to what we had in TS2. I used to love the NPC matchmaker who would find you a date! I would like to see the family tree developed and relations other than immediate family recognised (ie "aunt", "uncle", "cousin", step-family members etc). I had hoped that would have been part of this pack. However, I would not like to see it sold as a "My First Pets" fiasco.
To sum it all up, thank you Sims team for a wonderful pack and for keeping me occupied. I am actually waiting for major surgery at the moment and am spending my days in bed and in pain and this pack has come at exactly the right time for me.
Ok. Enough talking. Back to gaming now!.......
