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...

I think it is a great pack.
What I really like is
- The added gameplay for infants makes them really challenging (though the changing table feels like it belongs in base game).
- replacing traits or getting additional ones is a game changer. The way your playstyle can impact your sims personality
- social compatibility is awesome. It takes me back to chemistry in the good old sims 2 days
- milestones finally give a much needed sense of memory to sims, again very reminiscent of the sims 2
- many small additions like walking paths, a new board game, puzzles, the tree house and bikes for children
What I don't like
- the bland world with loads of shells between lots. There aren't enough sims walking around to make the world feel alive. Why are there so few collectibles, fishing signs,... I have a feeling that the neighbourhood of the rec center is better than the others with the splash pads and swimmable lake.
- bugs: disappearing milestones makes milestones kind of pointless. Problems with children learning to ride a bike. The loosing tooth feature had to be patched out completely. And then the EP even broke things from other packs like Mt Komorebi climbing excursions and werewolf pack values
If the world had been better and the bugs fewer, this pack would have easily earned a 9/10.
