Do your Sims 3 kids ever misbehave?

[Sof_m9]

I've never seen kids in Sims 3 throwing temper tantrums, fighting with siblings, destroying stuff (except smashing up the toy castle) What exactly do rebellious and mean kids do that quiet and shy kids don't do? They all seem the same to me.

[jenieusa]

well have 3 kids in 1 household....dont watch them for a spell...come back and you see these little red pulsing lights all over ever thing in the house....
thats right..they'be boobie trapped everything!!!

[minimogut]

They don't do anything bad unless I make them XD

[morphius1]

I had a teen sim get in trouble (stayed out too late) and she was scalded for it by her dad. I haven't had child or toddler get into trouble [yet], though.

[kewpie]

I saw a child sim autonomously yell at and argue with her twin sister in an inactive family while I was snooping around town once. The girl's traits were Mean Spirited, Slob, and No Sense of Humor. What I really hated though was the sister who was being attacked would react negatively, but then autonomously say something nice to her mean sister. I wish that sims would react a bit more realistically when interacting.

I agree, kewpie...
I had two teen sims who were going steady and then broke up. She was all in his face about it, and then they were chatting like nothing ever happened.
It would be nice if there was a mod created to stop this.

[Sof_m9]

What about temper tantrums? Is that in Sims 3 as well? In Sims 2 kids have tantrums autonomously, I've never seen it in Sims 3.

Me neither.

[Elphiron]

Is this another Sims 2 comparison? I thought you'd ascertained in the last two threads, the Sims 2 is better at all family related interactions! All I know is generations made families feel much more involved with people doing all sorts of things, ballet classes, school trips, pranks and proms. So they don't tantrum or have detailed 'console' interactions, or more 'family kiss', it was a pack that packed a punch for me, do we have to have comparisons with the Sims 2 all over again? What will it achieve!

Please don't think I'm being gratuitous or nasty, it's just, I feel like this is an age old debate... Let it go.

I asked if your Sims 3 kids ever misbehave for pete's sake!! Apparently I can't ask anything Sims 3 related without you thinking I want to start a comparison thread, ughh.

[Orilon]

Sof_M9, most of the threads that you have started in the past seem to be comparison threads, so that is probably why he/she got the impression that this one was also a comparison thread.

I keep a strict watch on my Sims 2 and Sims 3 kids so they don't misbehave, and the only time I've seen that my Sims 3 kids misbehave is they play hooky i.e. playing on the school playground equipment instead of being in school. I hit the go to school button and make them go back inside.

I've never seen them throw a temper tantrum in 3, and I never let the Sims 2 kids Aspiration get low enough that they throw a temper tantrum. If you're constantly seeing tantrums, then you need to take better care of their aspirations.

[Srikandi]

With Generations, TS3 kids will autonomously set booby traps. That's the only case that I know of.

[urunwa]

They can go outside the house, go to the playground and spend time there, and visit their friends house too. They probably don't feel like prisoners in the sims3, thus feel little need to misbehave or throw temper tantrums.

Uhh... they "feel" what the developers tell them to. It's pretty sad :(

What? In what world do kids not misbehave and throw tantrums sometimes? Only in The Sims 3 world then.
I simply wanted to know if there was any autonomously temper tantrum that I was yet to see in my game. Now I know there isn't. And my Sims kids in Sims 2 don't feel like prisoners, they've got a lot of places to visit in downtown.

I thought this wasn't going to be a comparison thread.

[DeathByBeingStoned]

One time I had three teenage sister watching their three younger siblings throw a party while their parents were on a free vacation, one thing lead to another and the fireplace caught fire killing one of the party guests, a teenage Kidd Goldbeard of Barnacle Bay. Not sure this is considered misbehaving, but it's certainly not the best behavior. His tombstone is in their front yard now I believe. :lol:

[Sof_m9]

I do find it interesting that your sims2 kids feel the way they do though, since you haven't made a comparison thread.

Hmm.. What exactly do you mean by this?

[Srikandi]

Speaking of misbehaving kids, please stop it with the bickering, folks :) and keep it on topic.

[J. M. Pescado]

No. My 42-pound, allegedly portable fist tolerates no disobedience to my will. If my sims behave badly, it is because it amuses their master.

[lewisb40]

well have 3 kids in 1 household....dont watch them for a spell...come back and you see these little red pulsing lights all over ever thing in the house....
thats right..they'be boobie trapped everything!!!

This is why I play with full, free will on. The little surprises that happens when I am not watching and directing their every move is funny and a challenge to correct. My sim kids even the good ones do something to mess up, they just wish to correct it.

[Spidey-Sense]

I have always had a fear of death, fire and the music on sims so I keep a close eye on all the kids, and I have NEVER seen them throw any type of fit or yell at their siblings. It would be amusing if they did. c:

Add a bit of mischievous trait to them, mean-spirited, loner, insane, etc. That is when the action flows. ;)

[Sunshine021]

Sof_m9, have you actually *played* The Sims 3, extensively? :/ I think if you actually sat down and really played it, you would find these things out for yourself, and you wouldn't have to keep making thread after thread after thread where you ask where this feature is, how do you this and that, and then inevitably start making TS2/TS3 comparisons, get called out on it and start screaming at people, which is exactly why you're getting so many dislikes on your posts (which you questioned in another thread, and proceeded to call us all pathetic...how charming).

We can't play the game for you. You have to PLAY it to find out how the game works, not just sit and stare at it and expect something magical to happen. No, The Sims 3 and The Sims 2 aren't exactly alike because The Sims 3 is a sequel to a sequel. It isn't meant to be exactly the same. Don't play it if you don't (and clearly refuse to) like it as much as The Sims 2. You have your preference and THAT'S FINE. Don't force yourself to play The Sims 3 if you don't like it; sell it and make a quick buck if the game bugs you that badly.

[MinghamSmith]

Add a bit of mischievous trait to them, mean-spirited, loner, insane, etc. That is when the action flows. ;)

I can attest to that. My game currently features a kid with Evil, Mean-Spirited, Insane and the hidden Pyromaniac trait. If nothing else, he's... interesting. Not sure how often he'll autonomously start fights and steal candy from his younger siblings since I'm usually directly controlling him when he does so, but I've repeatedly seen him make threatening gestures and attempt to strangle himself as idle animations and once saw him roll a want to watch his own mother die.

Also, it may be a coincidence, but I've seen evil children autonomously not bother going to school quite a few times. May be interpreted as misbehaviour, I guess. Seems sufficient to annoy adult relatives if Generations is installed, anyway.

[eskie227]

I had a kid drop a cherry bomb down a toilet. The parent gained like 7 levels of handiness skill fixing it. Oh, wait, you mean in game......................

You are really exaggerating here, c'mon. I didn't call you all pathetic, I was referring to the people who clicked "disagree" on the thread about bonehilda. I asked if she was really returning to the game and apparently she is so what's there to disagree?
I don't even recall screaming at people on this forum lol! Are you serious? I remember someone telling me to STOP it or shut up or whatever so, yeah, that upset me a bit and I replied with some words on caps lock but I wasn't actually screaming at that person. I hardly ever post on here, I started posting again because I'm giving Sims 3 another chance and like I said I'm liking it better. Also, I even apologized for bashing TS3 on my previous posts!

[Concerta]

I haven't noticed anything too major, besides the obvious booby traps and pranks. I had one family where one of their kids was always setting them and the rest....rarely. They were always the victim of their siblings pranks. My sims kid is also a sneaky little thing...I directed him to do his homework since all his needs were good and it needed to be done. I switch to another sim who's downtown just for half a minute and when I go back to check on the kid, he's playing outside. He would do that a few times when I wasn't looking so I watched him like a hawk and finally completed his homework. He would also occasionally skip school. I'd find him hanging outside talking or at the park playing when he had originally gotten on the bus.

[purexevil666]

I like to sell my sims' homework so they won't have to be scaled for not doing their homework.
A dream i want to become true in my real life....

[J. M. Pescado]

Is this another Sims 2 comparison? I thought you'd ascertained in the last two threads, the Sims 2 is better at all family related interactions!Sims 2 is better at all interactions, PERIOD. Sims 3 interactions are dry, clunky, repetitive in appearance, and wooden. They stand rigidly apart, adopt stiff postures, and do not flow smoothly between interactional loops at all. The interactions themselves are boring, and you're essentially picking from a pool of interactions that differ cosmetically in name only. The poking, the shoving, the slapping, and fighting are now largely absent from sim-to-sim interactions, much of it missing even if you attempt to do it deliberately. The sexual harassment is completely gone due to purely symmetric relational values. All in all, as far as socials are concerned, Sims 3 is a major step back from Sims 2. While Sims 2 Romance tended to be Way Too Easy given that a single flirt resulted in instant love (this can be fixed with mods), Sims 3 romance is clunky, repetitive, and downright boring. The poses are rigid and standoffish at best. I mean, Sims 2 had the decidedly bizarre-looking "Hold Hands" flirt, in which the sim would grab another sim's hands and then awkwardly swing them around while the other sim stood there bemused by the entire thing, but at least we had the hilarious sexual harassment. Sims 3 has none of this! The sexual harassment was the best part!

And anyone who doesn't think sexual harassment can be funny has never seen the Pepe Le Pew shorts. Much like Pepe Le Pew, some of the most hilarious romance moments in TS2 involved watching one sim doggedly pursue another sim who wanted nothing to do with it, but because the relationship values had become so wildly asymmetric, that sim would doggedly persist in the face of everything up to and including being physically assaulted in response.

I like to sell my sims' homework so they won't have to be scaled for not doing their homework.
A dream i want to become true in my real life....Oh, heavens, no. Homework is the greatest thing ever. In TS3, kids have literally nothing else worth doing, considering that in TS3, they are no longer allowed to skill. Why, if they didn't have MORE HOMEWORK, like you apparently need, they would run about annoying their elders by being 12 on the Internet. THIS CANNOT STAND.

[Petchy]

I really do miss how every action in TS2 had a positive and negative outcome stitched into the game.. I don't even think that even happens in TS3 right?

[J. M. Pescado]

There are negative outcomes, but they are very generic most of the time, and very infrequent because the attempt/accept gap is basically nonexistent and the relationships are entirely symmetric, so sims tend to have a very solid grasp of how the other party is going to react: Exactly like them, because the relationship is totally symmetrical.

[Sof_m9]

So why is it that Pescado has so many agree clicks for explaining that Sims 2 is better at all interactions? How can Sims 3 fans on here take that so well and when it's me they get offended? :/

[Sof_m9]

I miss that too ;) Sims 2 kids tormenting their siblings like that is funny lol.

Bring that back to Sims 3 ahhhhh!

I also really like when sloppy kids breathe a sigh of relief after mopping up the floor and if you tell them to clean things up they look at you and complain while dragging their feet with their head down, it's so cute and funny!! That could be in Sims 3 as well.

[kewpie]

When was teaching there was a kid who would cry that the other kids would start yelling at him and hitting him for "no reason whatsoever." I watched him and saw that when he thought no one was looking, he'd poke kids with his pencil and jab at them until they started yelling and hitting him. Then he'd act shocked and surprised and feign innocence.

You've made several threads claiming that you're not trying to stir up flame wars and junk on TS3 chat board, but somehow mysteriously they just start up when you ask your oh so many innocent questions and just innocuously post pics from your current or past TS2 game. You try to make your pokes innocent enough that nobody could really report one for flame bait, and yet, lo and behold that's what happens every time.

You've done it at least 2 other times and now you're starting it again. Please stop. I am sure I am not the only one that is getting tired of this.

You know what? I'm done with this forum. You don't know me at all so do me a favor, don't assume about my nature. I'm not the kind of person who looks for fights on forums or anywhere, I'm a portuguese girl in my 20s who has been victim of domestic violence (my mother was abused not me) and I can't stand arguments or fights of any kind (seeing Sims 2 fight interactions is different, I don't have a problem with that) I know I probably shouldn't be mentioning this on a forum but I'm really offended by what you said above implying that I'm some sort of.. ahh I don't even know what you were trying to imply. I just expressed how I felt about Sims 3 and their interactions and yes I criticized it harshly but I honestly didn't mean to stir up flame. As to the pictures I posted above, I wanted to show that I also want to see that back in Sims 3 and that's what I said there: Bring these interactions back to The Sims 3. I have every right to write on here what I want to see back without feeling misjudged about it!

[van Dorn]

Your history doesn't excuse your actions. And nobody has implied anything, so your post really confuses me. You are on a forum, where people are encouraged to offer opinions. And you keep comparing Sims 3 to Sims 2. That isn't really fair. Very few people compare TS1 to TS2 or TS1 to TS3, so why should the Sims 2 be any different? These constant comparisons irritate people who honestly aren't unhappy about TS3. I'm sure there are forums where a comparison would be met with a more favorable response (one that favors your opinion) but please stop bashing those who disagree.

[coltraz]

Why don't you just find something more fulfilling to do with your time, rather than getting worked up about what some people on a Sims forum think about you? Go do something worthwhile. Alternatively, continue posting here and stop whining about those damn buttons because no one cares how many disagree points you get. You should not either.

[J. M. Pescado]

So why is it that Pescado has so many agree clicks for explaining that Sims 2 is better at all interactions? How can Sims 3 fans on here take that so well and when it's me they get offended? :/Because my explanations are full of technical data, so if you disagree with me, you look stupid, since you can't fight facts. My statements aren't opinions, they're objective facts backed by hard data. Therefore, you're obligated to agree, or else you look like one of those flat-earth evolution-deniers.

There's a reason why other people can compare the two games without backlash and you can't. You have a reputation. You always compare them, while saying you're not trying to, and are completely blind to any good points of TS3. Sometimes you grudgingly admit to one or two to get people off your back, but then in a few months you come back to stir up more trouble. And yes, it's obvious that that's what your doing. Stirring up trouble. Because you know exactly what the reaction will be when you go to the TS3 forum and make these posts. You know because this has happened before, and people got annoyed. So you come back, do the same thing, and then claim you weren't trying to pick a fight?

And then you're so offended that it's even implied... And what does seeing your mom being abused have to do with whether or not you're trying to pick fights on the internet? My mother was abused by my father, both while she was pregnant with me and until they divorced when I was seven. This has nothing to do with whether or not I pick fights on the internet. If you don't want to get misjudged, just don't compare TS2 to TS3. Not because it's bad to do by itself, but because people clearly remember the long threads that you caused and every time you compare them, it reminds everyone.

Wow. As someone who also witnessed their mother be physically abused, and as a victim of physical and sexual abuse myself, let me tell you that past unfortunate occurrences do NOT give you the right to act like a defensive child over a video game on a message board. I'm terribly sorry that you had to witness the things that you did, but seriously? Don't use it as an excuse for the way you've been acting. Clearly, the only one offended here is you. We've been doing nothing but trying to reason with you as politely as possible, but no, you have to throw a fit over it every single time. I hope you are done with this forum as you said a few posts back, because frankly, you need to step away from the computer, in general. Go outside and get some fresh air, and maybe see a professional while you're at it. If this post seems rude, then so be it, but the fact that you're honestly dragging your mother's abuse into the equation seriously pisses me off. Thank god there's an ignore feature on this forum, because I've reached my limit on how much bullshit I can take.

Because of what I witnessed my father do I have aversion to fights, I don't like them, and I certainly don't like getting into fights on forums. That's the only reason why I mentioned about my mother being abused, I didn't like what "kewie" or something was implying about me because it's totally alien to my nature. You say "don't use your mother's abuse for the way you've been acting" The way I've been acting... you see, that's why I feel like people on this forum take comparison threads about Sims 2 vs. Sims 3 too seriously, I think most of you on this forum are over protective of this game and get touchy easily and you just shouldn't get annoyed over comparison talk. Have you tried seeing this kind of discussing from another point of view? A point a view that doesn't make you feel annoyed? But, anyway, at this point I'm not even comparing, I just posted pictures of what I'd also like to see back in the game.

As to people assuming about my life and telling me to do something worthwhile, to go outside, see a professional. Again, what do you know about my daily life to suggest all this? It's just going too far.

[GigaRevival]

Wow - this thread has gotten severely off-topic and FAST.

I think everyone should just step away and take a breather, man. Hug it out! Internet style! (or something)

Edit: To bring it back on topic - The only misbehaving the kiddos in my TS3 household do is stay out past curfew and prank stuff around the house. I micromanage the household far too much for them to do anything substantial - like throw a party or whatnot. Although, I'm pretty sure what I just listed pretty much covers all the ways that kids can rebel or whatever. Hmmm... time to experiment in-game and see if I'm missing anything.

[eskie227]

Slightly off topic, but in the last photo of a Sim 2 kid complaining about mopping the floor, how come she has no nose?

[kewpie]

I am done talking to this person who is trolling. If I see troll behavior I will ignore the specific references to TS2 but I think there needs to be some sort of way to report this subtle kind of trolling. I've seen in wreck other forums. I HATE this kind of trolling. And BTW, when a troll starts posting sensitive personal information about themselves, ignore that too. It's a very common form of derailing and ramping up the trolling when they get caught. I wish the troll would leave as she said she would. I don't need to know the personal history of someone to recognize trolling on forums. I've been online since before many of you were born. I know trolling when I see it and I don't have to know anything about the person at all.

I will try to answer as if the person never mentioned TS2 at all.

Anyway, as for child sims behaving badly. I had an evil child sim who pulled this one horrible prank over and over. He rigged the toilet to overflow - and he rigged it for a specific person (I tried getting the other sims to set it off and it doesn't work) He rigs it up for the dang SIMBOT. This prank is really nasty for the poor simbot. She shorts out! And for a while, the simbot was the only person who was older than a teen in the house so the bot had to just rust in the corner for 4 or so hours until she woke up and could finally go to bed and sleep off shorting out. For a few days, all my poor simbot could do was wake up, use the toilet, short out and freeze for 4 hours and go back to bed. Finally one of the sims aged up to teen and she got the job of fixing the simbot whenever she shorted out. The evil child continued with rigging the toilets up all during his teen years. Until one day he caught on fire while sculpting and mysteriously, nobody clicked on the shower for him to put himself out. Hmmmmm. That's strange.. Thank goodness ghosts can't prank as far as I can tell.

[Kestie Freehawk]

I have to say that the first time I played I saw Clair Ursine smack her son on the head and I was so offended I took him away and had the dad raise him alone. The Alvi children stole candy from their new baby brother once so many times that the Social worker took him away. There isnt a new one so I assume that its okay now. I dont have generations so I dont have the traps and that sort of thing but I have seen the parent interaction for curfew a lot. I usually try to cancel it because its my fault, but that doesnt always work. As for the other issue, I was shot twice and physically abused as a child not by my parents but by neighbors, and the game doesnt flip me because if the neighbors are that evil I can just delete them.

For a few days, all my poor simbot could do was wake up, use the toilet, short out and freeze for 4 hours and go back to bed. Finally one of the sims aged up to teen and she got the job of fixing the simbot whenever she shorted out. The evil child continued with rigging the toilets up all during his teen years. Until one day he caught on fire while sculpting and mysteriously, nobody clicked on the shower for him to put himself out. Hmmmmm. That's strange.. Thank goodness ghosts can't prank as far as I can tell.


Trolling? The online/chat forums that I go to are Sims 2 BBS, (I post on there under the same username, Sofmc9, I registered around 2006) Mod the Sims (also registered in 2007), captainhowdy.com, youtube and imdb. I don't recall getting into fights with anyone on those forums and never had trouble until now.
I already explained why I mentioned personal information which I regret having done now.
Yeah, don't worry, from now on I'm sticking to the Sims 2 forum on here or the BBS and whenever I want to discuss Sims 3 I don't think they mind that I write about it on there.
Btw, if I was a troll wouldn't HystericalParoxysm have banned me from this site or whatever?

Maybe since you keep comparing between The Sims 2 and The Sims 3?

Some people cant get past the story progression change from Sims 2 to Sims 3. I like Sims 3 because I can leave a house for a while and come back and it has changed. I dislike it because the change isnt always good. In fact it rarely is good anymore which is why most people get upset. You can turn it off but there is a slight chance it will work correctly. I have gotten a little tired of putting out fires and have lost interest in the changes which has effectivly killed the game for me. The only way to tweak it is aftermarket and I dont think that is right so for me the game is hung. I wont buy anymore.

I never thought of that. I think I am spoiled from Pescado and Twallan's tweaking. Except for the period of time I couldn't figure out how to keep my families from going on massive cat buying sprees, I don't mind what story progression does. I also like seeing the bad stuff that happens. This is probably because I've long been a fan of feral sims, norns and anything. I love that the families do stuff on their own.

This thread was going on topic until I said that Sims 2 kids throw tantrums autonomously. Then all hell broke loose. Someone over at the BBS had advised me to keep Sims 2 vs Sims 3 comparison talk on a Sims 2 forum only and I should have listened. But to go as far as kewpie did and actually call me a troll, well, that I wasn't expecting. I guess this is the problem with forums/virtual world, you can misjudge people easily.. The thing is I love The Sims games and I don't have a problem at all with comparison talk but, well, sorry that my threads on here cause all this trouble.
And, also, I don't really want to leave this Sims 3 forum (I said above I was done with this forum but that's 'cause I had lost my temper) just give me another chance, ok? I promise there won't be any more comparison talk. So, no hard feelings.
My cousin created a family on Sims 3 based on herself and I might start a picture thread of it. I think her toddler is adorable.

Not since I turned the free will off no, unless they are npc then maybe.

Guys... when I said stop it with the bickering, I meant it. What counts as bickering is "ad hominem" posts, that is, posts directed at the person of another poster and not at the content of what they said. Bringing issues from other threads into this one is also not helpful. Not picking anybody out here, there's plenty of argumentative posting on all sides of the current argument.

Locking :p
