[GRO] Permissive dynamic leads to permanently angry sims

Whenever a parent and child has a permissive family dynamic the child gets angry every time they are close to the parent. As in 100% of the time. I get that a permissive family dynamic between child and parent isn't always a good thing, but this is making the dynamic unplayable. I see these with the other dynamics in game too, a parent who is strict is always sad for instance. It's lecturing and boring when the only playable dynamics are what the developers thinks are good, healthy parenting styles, but the permissive is way worse than the others. 

What I expect: for the child not to be permanently angry. 

How can we recreate this: have a child and parent have a permissive family dynamics and put them in the same room. 

What I'd wish to see: a variation of moodlets, positive and negative, from various dynamics, as well as no moodlets at all for long stretches of time. Adding only negative moodlets for all dynamics apart from one or two is lecturing. Let the dynamics be reflected in possible parenting interactions and in outcomes in character values and child behaviour instead. 

Note, I do play with mods but has played without it and it happens then too.

  • WHat platform are you playing on ? Bit unclear how this is related to build mode ?

    It's not related to build mode at all, so that was a mistake. I removed the tag. I play on PC. 

  • I noticed that too with strict and permissive dynamic. There just doesn't seem to be anything positive about them.

    And I agree about the lecturing part... I chose the permissive dynamic for my current legacy heir and her son because it fits her personality, but it makes me sad that it only affects them negatively.

    Exactly! My legacy is in the 70s now, when the permissive free-style parenting was at its height. For my hippie/artist single mother it feels like a natural choice, but now the daughter is angry all the time which is highly annoying. And earlier eras, where strict parenting was definitely the norm, parents were sad and kids were constantly tense.
