I think that curfew didn't translate well into the Sims 3, because a game can never follow a law to the spirit, so it has no choice but to follow it to the letter. And that resulted in strange situations like the police always knowing where my teens were, or them bringing my son home in handcuffs for the crime of crossing the street at 5 am (I wanted him to get a wellness treatment before school). And the gem of my sim having to sleep on the park bench at the cemetary just so that his son could try fishing for a death fish at midnight. The dad was sleeping, so he was actually neglecting his duties and should have gotten arrested or fined.
In the end I feel I'm better off with setting my own boundaries, like letting the teens sneak out and only have them get into trouble if they walk into line of sight of an actual sim of whom I know that they are a cop. It's more relaxing this way.
Sims 3 with a single household of one or more adults is more enjoyable for me, but single household is just not my favored playstyle. Tired of waiting for horses to come to Sims 4 I got Pets during the 2019 Steam sale and absolutely loved playing my horse ranch. The birds are amazing and the little ice cream truck is such a nice touch, I wouldn't mind getting it back.
