Never playing family oriented sims ever again…

I hope this does not break any rules. It‘s a bit ranty, but all in good fun. :)

So I never really played families beyond two sims before and wanted to try something new. Made my family: dad, mom (both family oriented), teen and child. Made up stories for them in my head and off I went to the live mode.

My main focus was the teen. Left the parents alone for a minute and went out with the teen for some good old socialisation.

Well, imagine my shock when I hear the baby jingle in the background. After a moment of confusion it dawned on me.

I refocused on their home and there they were. Just finished with the deed, in a great mood and pregnant.

After some panic (I am a control freak if you couldn‘t tell by now) I decided to just enjoy the ride. Baby will be fun for sure!

Well as soon as I have a toddler, both of them go off kissing. I thought „Aww they still have the hots for eachother“ and oh boy they did…

Again, left them for a second (shame on me). Come back and they just did the deed. Pregnant, again.

At this point both of them already struggle with bills. While they work, none of them could progress really far into their careers, so pay is low. My teen and the now aged child aka second teen have to step up and help with the bills as much as they can. Did I mention they live in a tiny 2 br 1 ba apartment? I have barely space for one crib!

First teen ages up and I try to move their partner in who brings some funds with them. Now they can at least afford something bigger and have some space.

But now I have four adults, a teen and two toddlers. Two adults cannot be left alone for a second because they already dream about the next baby. The other two have to work their butts off to try and pay some bills. The teen is struggling with keeping up with their schoolwork and bills.

And I am beyond stressed. I thought it was supposed to be a cosy game? Well I guess not for me!

Anyway, 10/10, would recommend. And maybe don‘t leave your family oriented sims alone if you have nrass Story Progression and Wohooer installed.
