I don't know if I am doing something to cause this myself, or if it is just random but mean streak is my least favourite childhood phase (they all annoy me a little bit, but mean streak is the worst) because I can't get their social need up easily without hurting their empathy, and this becomes a problem if I want the sim to have the empathetic trait. However, I often get this phase twice in the same child, it sometimes happens days after the phase goes away. Is there anything I can do to prevent this childhood phase? I can put it up with it once, or cheat to remove it but is there any way I can prevent it completely?

When this was added to the game is the reason I stopped playing the larger families, I could deal with all those different phases.
What happened to choice?
Some of the teen mood swings are rather cute - I think it's entirely realistic for a teen to come home 'mortified' or sad after something happens at school. It makes the game a bit more interesting, without interfering too much with my plans for my Sims.
Did you have a choice as a kid when your moods decided to swing? Life is random. As annoying as it can be, I believe the devs got this one correct.

Agreed, a little bit of randomness and consequences is good.
Idk why people insist on referencing real life when discussing this game. There are many things in the game that do not occur in real life. One thing I would have liked them to add is the option to avoid mood swings. I don’t feel like I’m asking for too much here.
Let's make Liberty and Justice For All a reality.
It would be even better if Sims could do more with children who are not their own. When Olivia Kim-Lewis came to visit in a loud obnoxious mood, there was no way to react to that. Same with kids making messes in the park and at restaurants. I think some adult should be able to tell them it isn't appropriate. Especially if they are visitors in another home.
