Generations: What Sucks, What's Fucked, and What Did EA Get Right by Utter Luck

<< < (26/75) > >>

Claeric:
Yes. Sandboxes are children only. The animations do not exist for any other age group.

Also, the expansion seems very bare until you really start getting into it. Imaginary friends, field trips, teenage rebellion, mid life crises, these are all very little things that make a big impact on the day-to-day boredom of sim life. My teen wanted in three days to beat up another teen, insult another teen, dye his hair, learn to drive, invite someone to prom, egg an enemy's house, sneak out once he got grounded, sneak some TV before his parents got home, and skip school. His dad is having a mid-life crisis and wanted to get stronger, buy a car, plan a new everyday outfit. It's a big collection of really little things, and it does get fun once you get really into it. Without the wants from the teen rebellion/midlife crisis, I never would've made a teen skip school for no real reason, or played with egging a house, or initiated fights. Prom is a good excuse to start a relationship early, when before I'd wait until adulthood since there's more to do. Mid-life crises prompted me to change my sims clothes up, which is good since he wore those same clothes all through young adulthood. It's nice.

Is it just me (entirely possibly), or does it seem like when a sim is preggers, her belly grows gradually now instead of all at once?  Also, kind of an awesome feature: you can woohoo in almost anything now.  Convenient :).  Some of the animations for kids are cool (the pirate fight thing in the tree house for example), but besides that, I'm glad I didn't waste $40 on this EP.  Not worth it.

Claeric:
Pregnant bellies always grew gradually.

Zed Pee Em:
I am enjoying the EP so far, but I do find the imaginary friends to be a bit annoying after a while, I played two of them and after that stopped letting my kids play with them. I wish they were deletable.

These wants aren't new.  I've had sims roll them up before.  The "get stronger" want rolls up for sims who have some athletic skill, and the other two wants tend to roll up for sims who have the snob trait.
