    [ANSWERED!] Does parenthood still have this issue?

    DinowCookieDinowCookie Posts: 951 Member
    edited June 2019 in The Sims 4 Packs Discussion
    With the current sale I am super tempted to buy parenthood.

    However, what bugs me about the pack more than anything, is kids making giant messes in public venues, always giving sims bad environment moodlets. :( Has this issue been patched since I've seen it happen? Or does parenthood still create such unsightly scenes? It's really a dealbreaker for me. πŸ˜“

    EDIT: YES the issue has indeed been patched, neat!

      The last time I sent my Sim child to the park, there were no messes in the playground. That could've been a fluke, though. Or due to the fact that in the entire time she was there (several Sim hours), only one (1) other kid showed up.

      @SimQueenie9 that's a good sign. Hopefully someone can tell me whether there's been an actual patch. Your comment seems promising! 😁

      Outside I don't notice that much, but it's a lot of mess when at home. To me it isn't a problem, I find it somehow realistic, but it does happen very often.

      @telmarina I don't mind it happening the odd few times at home, it's a good opportunity for parents to do actual parenting.
      But when NPC kids make messes outside in public locations, and a lot of it too, it really bothers me. πŸ˜…

      Glad you don't notice as much outside either. Sounds like it isn't all that bad now! I'll see if I can find a patch log or something.

      I'm positive this was patched within the past 3-5 months. I'm certain it was in the patch notes.

      Not the park but the house, my little monsters were painting the floor in every color imaginable and it irritated me. This was recently too.

      @MidnightAura that's awesome then! I may try and find the actual patch notes for a bit longer. πŸ˜“ They're a pain to browse!
      Thank you, this has me quite confident about buying the pack. 😁

      @Siomne if it's my sims's own kids I don't mind nearly as much as I am responsible for those little buggers πŸ˜‚ I just don't want random NPC ones wrecking my sims's day at the park! ;D

      I haven't played the Sims 4 for a while but it was better, it used to be every kid making messes but I think the last time I played it was only one child that made a mess.

      Parenthood is a good pack. I recommend it.

      @DinowCookie

      According to the patch notes it was fixed Dec 18th 2018:
      REJOICE! Children can once again play on the monkey bars without the compelling need to halt their monkey bar activities to make a mess. Yes, that’s right Mr. and Mrs. John Q. Player, children are free! Free to play! Free to climb, swing, and do whatever it is that children do on the monkey bars. The draw, the compulsion, the absolute need to end their activity to make a mess has finally come to a close. So rejoice! And let your kids climb, until they can climb no more.

      @MidnightAura THANKS! I had literally just found it and was about to make a comment saying the exact same thing.
      That's great, now I can purchase the pack without nightmares of messed up parks. 😁 Appreciate the help. πŸ’—

      @DinowCookie Hmm it may because of mods for me, but in Oasis Springs park the kids always leave huge messes of paint. Think that was over 2 months ago while I was working on my Extreme Homeless Challenge.

      @SimQueenie9 thanks for the tip! I've watched an "all deaths in Sims 4" video earlier and I've seen what it can do. πŸ˜‚

      What surprised/infuriated me is how easily it can happen, though. I cleaned the lint tray a lot, but it didn't seem to make a difference. Four of my Sims and a dog still caught on fire, and one of those Sims died.
