Stop autonomous and forceful punishments?

[jeanamariex3]

I hope this isn't too frivolous for me to ask, but are there any mods out there (preferably scripting), that will give me the option to cancel the punish/scold interaction, an adult makes, or better yet, eliminates auto-disciplining children and teens altogether.

I just started using Master Controller and Story Progression again, and I just started using overwatch and error trap. I may use the pose player from MTS, since it doesn't conflict with anything Twallan made.

I don't like in game disclipline or punishment (scolding, punishments, time out, etc.) because it's overboard and it makes the game too realistic.

I did some research for you but came up with pretty much no mods to help
The quickest way is to have the child beg for forgiveness until someone does come out with a tweak.

[jeanamariex3]

Thank you. It was worth a shot trying. I've been searching MTS for years a long time, since I've been annoyed with the problem.

So I guess I'll make sure Granny lets her four children off the hook every time they do something wrong.

I tried the non mod solution of taking the kid out of time out, but that didn't work.

Okay, I did find something but I'm not sure about posting it here. I'll PM you and you can decided if you want to do this method or not. It doesn't look super dangerous or anything.

You can visit Simsasylum.com, and register there. Twoftmama has a mod that will tweak what children can get punished for. SO even though you can't cancel the punishment, you can reduce what does get punished.

I've been looking for a mod that does this for a while. It's very annoying to have my sim kids 5 minutes late for school, get scolded, and end up being an hour late for school!

So far, I haven't found one (or at least one I trust. )

Thanks, NonaMena, I'll take a look.

Punishments are so annoying! Specially when kids end up punished for missing school and then they are not allowed to attend it! Really silly.

I don't know about any mods, but my guess is you could actually use testingcheats to control+clic over the punishment moodlet. That should actually delete it... but I'm not a 100% sure. I don't have any kids in my game right now so I can't test it though.

If there is a mod that will get rid of or prevent scolding because the children are late, may I please, please, please have someone tell me where it is.  I have 5 children in my Sims family and they live right next to the school in the field lot and can still never make it to school which keeps their grades low.  I hate to have to send them off to boarding school just to get an education, but I fear they will never make it through school if they continuously miss school because I can't get rid of the scolding action.  Help

Sometimes I don't like the in game disciplin.  Like sometimes, my kid sim needs to do something like homework, or go to school. Lets just say, it really gets me mad whenever the parant puts the kid in a time out for being like, 20 sim minutes late to school, when it's actually just making them later for school!  Also, sometimes I get mad at the whole curfew thing.  Sometimes I need it for my own made up storyline and the punishment gets in the way.  The thing I do, is just go to the parant, and click let off the hook.  I LOVE this interaction because It removes any revoked privlages, groundings, and the negative got in trouble moodlet!   Also, it's not just chance, it's your sim and it has no choice for what it wants to do because it is under your monarchy!Hehehehe, I'm an evil simmer.  Also, if the punishments make me to mad, I a lot of times kill of the mom if it's a teen sim.  Then you can practically do whatever you want!

Wow, I feel I'm really missing out on something.  Punishment and time out?  The most I've seen is when a parent scolds because the kid is out after curfew.  Are there really time outs in the game?

[sdhoey]

Mine only get time out when they won't stop doing pranks.

I've seen being grounded in the game and time outs. In the former, I let my Sims off the hook instantly (but the grounded Sim can't leave the lot. And the parent virtually screams at the kid, they say something like "That's IT! You are GROUNDED!"). In the latter, the Sim stands in the corner.

[Pam]

I think I probably just don't let mine misbehave very much.  They don't do pranks, except for an occasional shower.  Thanks for the information.

For my Sims, I usually just use resetSim on the teenager when I see the "Scold" action come up. Works every time, and  nobody gets hurt.

I just started having this problem - where the mom scoled her teenaged daughter. This had never happened before in any of the games I've played. But that's because I haven't played a family with children/teens for a long-long time.

It took me by surprise. I tried to stop it from happening, but I couldn't. Tried Googling it, but that was pretty much no help - as it seems like it's hard wired into the game that you cannot stop parents from punishing their kids for whatever it is they've done wrong.

All that happened was the teenager was out after curfew... How I see it, it was my (Player) fault, as I wasn't keeping an eye on the in-game time. So therefore, the teen shouldn't of gotten punished for my bad.  It's really too bad that there isn't away to stop the autonomous scolds and punishments, as they don't seem all that fair.

They only way I knew of to "fix" it at the time, was to delete the moodlets after the fact. I've read that you can use reset sim on the parent sim. So I'll try that.

Does anyone know if an Nraas mod would help this in anyway, like maybe being able to move curfew to a later time or doing away with curfew?
