New Interactions,Features & Events Toddlers:
♦ Children can ride the new spring rider playground toys – carefully supervised by an adult of course.
♦ Older Sims can interact with toddlers now by performing “claw” movements while in their arms. (tickling)
Children:
♦ In the sand box, you will see kids digging, building sandcastles, and of course, burying things (for example, their homework!). And these activities are not restricted to the sandboxes either, as you can expect to see your beaches to come alive with kids playing in the sand.
♦ Children can sleep outside in their backyard and tell ghost stories. (Flashlight included!)
♦ Stories will affect how your sim sleeps at night.
♦ Sims can now have Nightmares.
♦ Children can have sleepovers and slumber parties!
♦ Children can dress up and be a “King or Queen” and reign over their subjects.
♦ Children can now have pirate attacks in their Treehouses. A skull and crossbones flag is hoisted above the tree house, it hisses and pops on the inside and fire and smoke emerge from the windows.
♦ How your Sim kids are dressed might affect how they choose to play in the treehouse. The costume chest makes a welcome return to the series, and kids act really cute when they’re dressed up. There are four costume options – dinosaur, astronaut, prince, and princess – each available in 3 colours. Depending on how your Sim is dressed, the way they walk and play will change. In fact, maybe their dino rage will make them go Godzilla on their sister’s dollhouse.
♦ If you ever had or played in a treehouse as a kid, you will remember that it was a spaceship, a castle, a pirate ship, a dragon’s lair, and so on. Kids in Generations can be just as imaginative, and you will actually hear some sound effects coming from the treehouse depending on what they are pretending right now.
♦ Child sims can ‘Joyride’ on chairs. When they do this they just pretend that they are driving!
♦ Children can attend ballet class
♦ Children can now have “clubhouse” type adventure in Treehouses where they spy on neighbors through a telescope to see what others are up to!
♦ Now of course, in real life, you could expect some pretty serious punishments from your parents. And Sim parents just got tougher, because now the Sims is no different. Kids might get their favourite toy taken away from them, or they might get put in time out. This is really funny and cute, as your Sim kid will stand facing a wall looking really grumpy about the whole thing. They have to stay there for their entire time out, or until a parent is directed to let them off the hook.
♦ Children can go on field trips now. Field trips are really cool. It is not just a new way of going with the community as they sometimes bring special things back from these field trips and have them in their memories.
♦ Teens and Adults can read Children Bed Time Stories
Teens:
♦ Teens can throw parties and attend school dances.
♦ Mood swings are a new moodlet, which in and of themselves have no mood effect… however, during a mood swing, your teen will roll up rebellious wishes (which have purple backgrounds on the UI), which range from wanting to pull pranks, to wanting to fight with people.
♦ There are new kinds of parties that your Sims can have as teenagers, including wild “teen parties”. Randomly, parents of teenagers might get offered short holidays, where they will disappear from the town. And while the cat’s away…
♦ These teen parties can be broken up by the police, or by a parent returning early. And you can be sure that any parent returning to find the house in a state will ground their teen!
♦ A grounded teenager is not a happy teenager, and unhappy teenagers will stomp around the place looking hilariously annoyed at the world. Maybe they should have had a much more harmless sleepover instead.
♦ Your teenage sims can ask their parents to teach them to drive! There are 3 levels in the driving skill and once they maximise it they will receive a certificate! When they are learning they don’t drive very well, there is a lot of stopping and starting. If they aren’t getting on very well their parent may decide to kick them out of the car to walk home! Picture of the Blue van used to teach teens to drive is here: Blu Van
Prom:
♦ When the date for Prom approaches, your Teen sim will receive a notification invitation letting them know the time and date of Prom.
♦ After they receive and accept the invitation to Prom, your sim can ask another sim to accompany them to the dance.
♦ On the day of Prom, your teen will receive a reminder a few hours before the dance to remind them to get dressed to impress!
♦ When the time to leave comes, your sim will be greeted outside with a fancy Limousine to take them to Prom.
♦ When you sim gets to Prom, he/she will strike a pose outside and have their photo taken, which will then be placed as a souvenir in their inventory.
♦ Teens can be elected Queen/King of Prom, and if they win, will receive a special prize in their inventory.
Pictures regarding Prom can be found here: Getting ready, Limo, Snapshot & Crown
♦ Prom is a Rabbit Hole
♦ They will be able to take their date and go to the prom and they’ll take their picture at the school. You can hang these pictures at home on their walls so they can remember this day and how it was like for them. Of course if they got prom king or prom queen – that’s a very special moment for them.
♦ Some Sims are less fortunate and can have problems at Prom ending up in a fight, being abandoned by their date or be dismissed from the dance floor.
♦ Sims attending the prom will have a special greeting that can be made with other Sims attending Prom.
YA/Adults:
♦ Your sims can woo hoo in their kid’s treehouse! Careful though or they might get a splinter with a negative moodlet!!
♦ Adult sims can Woohoo in the shower and in Treehouses. In treehouses, you’ll see the adults climbing up in there and the tree house is shaking. Leaves falling down off of it and birds will fly of the tree house . Pictures here: Treehouse Woohoo & Shower Woohoo
♦ Adult Mid-Life Crises
♦ Adults can now have elaborate bachelor and bachelorette parties before marriage, which include all manner of festivities like pink limousines, sexy dancers and plenty of “nectar”.
♦ In addition to more elaborate weddings, brides- and grooms-to-be can have bachelor and bachelorette parties, which come complete with party dancers and/or very-special firemen or policemen.
♦ If your sims decide to throw a wild party. a police car may show up! But don’t be fooled as they are not real cops! They are there to add to the parties atmosphere.
♦ Bachelor parties, will include hiring a female “dancer” to pop out of a wedding cake and spray the lucky bachelor with a bottle of “nectar”.
♦ Once your Sim is engaged, they can now choose this party type, and they are just about as true to life as the developers could get away with, while keeping the game’s ‘T’ rating. Of course, your Sim might want to ask their best friend to make a toast to kick off the festivities, then the party can continue with plenty of nectar and dancing
♦ Sims will often strip off at bachelor parties, so at the end of the night you end up with a bunch of men passed out on the floor in their underwear. Maybe those Sims will remember the dancers. There seems to be a variety of different outfits that the dancers at bachelor and bachelorette parties will arrive in. These include firefighters, soldiers, and police officers. There is also a new interaction which will allow you to spray other Sims with fizzy nectar. How they react depends on the Sim, of course.
♦ For the actual wedding ceremony, wedding arches and wedding cakes make a more than welcome return. There are a few styles of wedding arch, to help you set the perfect scene for your wedding. Of course, when you’re trying to set the perfect scene, you might want to first check that your Sim isn’t due at work, so they don’t change into their work uniform at the altar…
♦ Parents have the ability to send children and teens to different boarding schools. They can choose anything from military school to the sports academy, and has plenty to choose from to give their children a proper education! This happens outside our current world.
♦ Sims earn romantic reputations — if they’re running around town trying to woo every other Sim on the block, it’s going to show up and could have an impact on future attempts to get busy with other Sims.
♦ During the mid-life crisis your sims have special requests. If they are selected, they must be met and can not be “un-selected”. After completion of the midlife crisis you will receive, depending on the number of satisfied requests, a positive mood. Alternatively, the midlife crisis be treated in hospital.
Elders:
♦ When your sim is an Elder they can choose to use a cane. There are 3 canes and 2 styles of walking. One is southern gentleman style and the other is more like an old man style of walking. If they are left standing still they may start twirling their cane!
♦ When you reach a certain time in your life, you will really enjoy reminiscing about the good old days. This is where the video camera comes in handy. Although of course using the new video camera is not exclusive to elders, they seem to really love watching the old tapes. But you’d better be careful what you get caught doing on camera. We were told that Sims will react to certain events on film as if they are seeing them first hand, so if you cheat on your spouse, make sure you’re not being watched.
♦ More specifically for elders, you can choose for elders to walk with canes, which really makes the game seem more real. Elders can be friendly and cheerful, of course, but you can also get nasty bitter elders, who love nothing more than to watch the world go by… and disapprove of everything!
