Scolding

Or: One of the reasons I hate Generations.

For the first time since I got snow days back, all the children were sent to class.

Only problem is, of course, the teens - and their relationship with their parents. They're not allowed to go to class, and that causes their parents - or, well, the one who isn't in a death cage - to scold them, an interaction that can't be canceled. Maybe I don't want to be a good parent!

Part of why I don't bother to build relationship with the parents is, with Generations enabled, that relationship will tank right down the toilet the more days they miss. No one likes being scolded, least of all teens!

The other part is pretty much sheer laziness. I'm not a social person myself, so I often ignore my Sims' social need entirely.

I've had one of the teens torch the rations, so the teens aren't allowed to cook anymore. At least not until dear old dad gets old and incompetent. Then I won't trust him anywhere near the fridge.

Speaking of dear old dad: he's got three promotions to go, and some of them he's going to have to get while he's an elder - fortunately, he just hit ten athletics so he'll be able to continue working. I really, really want to see Symphonic lifted. Like, really. Symphonic is a tier 1 lift for a reason. I'd like to get spring back, and I'd really like to be able to lock wishes, especially since with six kids, I'll be lifting a lot of stuff in short order, meaning I'll have a lot of possibilities.

Janie still isn't dead - a fact I find increasingly annoying, but I'll live. When I booted up the game, for some reason Overwatch noticed that she's in a death cage, and assumed she wasn't supposed to be - I had to rectify that. Hopefully she dies before she turns elder - I don't want to have to mess around with convincing an uncontrollable elder to go into the death cage while she's starving, and I really don't want her to starve outside the death cage.
