Socially Deprived Larvae Suck!
jolenedms:
Once their oldest two reached toddler I had them play with the bear to raise the social bar. But with 2 children and newborn triplets dragging the social bar up all the time gets to be time consuming. Which is why I wondered about a mod. But I am going right now to stick some bears in the cribs and see what happens. :P

I never found the social drain on larvae / rug rats to be an undue burden, even with 3-4 to monitor. Or rather, no more than the other needs, since it seems to drain about the same as hunger. My usual routine is Play With / Feed / Change Diaper, move on. For toddlers it's Toss In Air / Change Diaper / Feed On Floor.
I had no idea you could put the bear in the crib, though. I generally ignore the toys that don't raise skills.

I always get the teddy bear for the social boost, for those times when the kid's sleep schedule and the parents' are 180 degrees off. I also had no idea you could stick it in the crib.

I found that Snuggle is a short animation, and the parents usually have a want to Snuggle. So, I always snuggle after feeding or pottying. Takes care of that problem.

For my Larvae's, it always seems like the Change Diaper need is slower than the Social/Food need. They'll be screaming their little heads off cause they're lonely and hungry, but not nearly dirty enough for a diaper change. I find I have to do the rounds again about an hour later to change diaper (at which point I go ahead and snuggle/feed again). Damn kids, Get Off My Lawn!
And BTW, I must be insane. I just had my set of triplets (stoopid me went and gave both parents Fertility Treatments) and she's preggers again. Only room for 2 more (thankfully), unless old man gramps decides to kick the bucket in the next 3 days (which is possible, he's 101).
