The Sims series continues to let you control the lives of little computer people as they commute to their jobs, socialize with each other using wild gestures and gibberish-language "socials," and sneak off to the potty. And the fourth expansion, The Sims 3: Generations, will add new content for the littlest little computer people--small children and teenagers. We've already covered the expansion's primary additions and gone in depth on the new features for small child sims in our previous coverage. This time around, we have the full details on what you can expect from teenager gameplay.
So, you planted a flaming bag of something-or-other on the neighbor's doorstep? I'd like to hear you explain this one, mister.
As we've mentioned previously, teenagers will have a host of new prank socials they'll be able to play on the people they ideally neither know nor love. These include the classic pranks we all remember from our youth, along with a bunch of booby traps that can be set throughout the house for unsuspecting family members or houseguests. Pranks include making prank calls, doorbell ditching (the dastardly act of ringing a house's front doorbell and running away before the residents can get to the door), egging a house, and a little something The Sims Studio calls "planting a flaming bag." Booby traps will include such things as toilets that overflow, sinks that spray, and showers that are loaded with dye. Naturally, sims that get pranked will receive a negative moodlet (temporary states in The Sims 3 that either enhance or detract from your sim's mood), but teenagers that pull off their pranks or booby traps without getting caught will earn positive moodlets. With a successful run of unpunished pranks, teens can earn an "uber prankster" moodlet.
Unfortunately, it's possible for sloppy pranksters to get caught--if not by the cops, then by their parents or guardians. Generations will include multiple new types of punishment levels for teenagers beyond the usual scolding, which includes being banned from using their favorite items in the house (the equivalent of revoked TV or computer privileges), being put in the dreaded time-out, and being grounded (unable to leave the house)--the even-more-dreaded punishment than the time-out. In such cases, teens can attempt to sneak around their punishments by using the forbidden household objects or by sneaking out of the house when grounded. Taking the new "rebellious" trait will actually give them a bonus in their quest to defy authority. Juvenile delinquents who take this trait will get a bonus positive moodlet after doing other socially unacceptable things, like copying homework or getting a tattoo. Teens who have less of a wild streak (or just know what's good for them) can otherwise try to commute their own sentences by doing chores or using the "beg for forgiveness" social.
Teen life won't be all chores and time-outs. Generations will give your teens the opportunity to socialize with the other kids in the neighborhood at parties. If they're lucky, their parents may take an adults-only vacation, leaving the teens at home on the honor system--which logically leads to the expansion's new house party system. With it, teens can invite their friends over by phone and use the new "break up party" social to quickly shoo all their guests out of the house before the cops come.
Prom night? But what if they all laugh at you? They're all gonna laugh at you! They're all gonna laugh at you!

I wonder where she's sneaking out to...
Last week we brought you a huge fact sheet from EA detailing a lot of the ‘kids and babies’ features that we’ll be seeing in the upcoming expansions, The Sims 3 Generations. Today we’re able to bring you another huge featureset, and this time it’s all about those troublesome teenage years — with which we’ll get the ability to plant booby traps, throw parties and, just as any teenager would, have a bit of a mood swing now and again.
The full fact sheet is below, along with three new screenshots (one of which is above).
The Teenage experience in The Sims 3 Generations focuses on the moody, rebellious time of a Sim’s life before they grow into a Young Adult. Here is a quick look at some of the brand new features and content that will take your Sims on the epic mood swing that is Teenage life!
Don't pretend you never did this to the miserable old man down the road!
Pranks and Booby Traps
•Pranks and Booby Traps are a great way for Sims to express their Teen angst!
* Teenage Sims can Booby Trap various objects throughout their household, and then sit back and wait for an innocent friend or family member to fall for their devious trap. Household objects that can be Booby Trapped include showers, toilets, sinks, computers, and sofas. Teens can even make Prank Calls!
* You can also use the “Set Booby Trap for…” interaction to set a trap a for a specific Sim on the lot, and then call them over and convince them to use it!
* In addition to Booby Traps, Pranks can be played around town on unsuspecting neighbors and other members of your Sim’s community. To play a Prank, find a neighbor who is home and click on their house. Once clicked, your Teenager will be given the option to play a bunch of different pranks that include Door Bell Ditching, Planting a Flaming Bag, or even Egging the Front Door!
* Have you ever wanted to make another Sim nauseous or even throw up? Teenagers who become proficient with the brand new Chemistry Set can even discover the Stink Juice potion, which can be set off at homes or out around town!
* When a Booby Trap or Prank is successfully pulled off, your Sim will receive the Successful Prank moodlet. Teenagers who set off a certain number of successful pranks without being caught can even receive the powerful Uber Prankster moodlet!
* Depending on the personality of the pranked Sim, they may find your Sim’s hi-jinks hilarious and receive a positive Pranked moodlet. Or, if they’re more of a cranky Sim, they may receive a negative Pranked moodlet.
* Look out though, playing Pranks and setting Booby Traps isn’t all fun and games; Sims can be caught by Adults, the Police, or even tattled on by another Teen or Child, which will result in Punishment!
Punishment
• Rather than just being Scolded, Teens can now be punished in a variety of new ways!
* Depending on the seriousness of a Sim’s offense (caught pranking, fighting with a sibling, out after curfew, etc), as well as any other trouble they may have been in, your Teen may be put on a Time Out, restricted from using their favorite household objects, or even be Grounded!
* When put on a Time Out, your Sim will receive the negative Got Put on Time Out moodlet, and be forced to stand in the corner and think about what they’ve done. If you cancel the interaction and your Sim is caught, they’ll get in even more trouble!
* If your Teen has been restricted from using one of their favorite objects (like the Computer or Video Game System), your Sim will have the ability to try and Sneak in some time with it. However, if an adult finds you using the object, more Punishment will head your Sim’s way!
* Adults will reserve Grounding their children for the worst offenses, or for Sims who just can’t keep out of trouble (being brought home by the Police is a sure way to get grounded). When grounded, a Teen will receive the negative Grounded moodlet for an amount of time consistent with how much trouble they’ve gotten into.
* Sneaking off your Home Lot while Grounded is possible for the most daring of Sims, and if successful they’ll receive the Snuck Out! moodlet. If unsuccessful, their grounding will be extended!
* If your Teen has been punished, they can Beg For Forgiveness from and Adult in an attempt to remove their punishment. Doing chores around the house like cooking and cleaning will improve your Sim’s chances for forgiveness!
Rebellious Trait
• Sims can now be assigned the brand new Rebellious Trait!
* A Teen with this trait will have a reduced chance of being caught while doing Pranks and setting Booby Traps, as well as having reduced chances for being caught while violating Curfew!
* Rebellious Teenagers will also receive the Fight The Power moodlet when performing deviant activities like getting a tattoo, copying someone’s homework, or even smashing a dollhouse!
Mood Swings
• Sims will sometimes experience personality changing Mood Swings during their Teenage Years!
* After waking up in the morning, you may be alerted that one of your Teenage Sims is experiencing a Mood Swing! If so, your Sim will receive the Having a Mood Swing moodlet.
* Throughout the day, your Sim will receive wishes to do deviant or rebellious activities like snubbing certain Sims or skipping school, and will certainly not act very nice to other Sims around them!
Teenage parties, those were the days.
Teen Parties
• Teenage Sims can throw raging house parties while the Adults are away!
* Throughout the course of a Sim’s teenage years, the adults on his or her home lot may get the chance to go away on a free, adults-only, vacation. If accepted, the Teen will be left alone to “take care” of the house while the adults are away…
* Once the adults have left, Teenagers can use the phone to invite their other teenaged friends over for a house party!
* Make sure the party doesn’t get too crazy though, as the neighbors may call the police if they find out a party is going on! Your Sim can then use the Break Up Party interaction to try to clear the house before the police show up!
After School Activities and School Dances
• Teenagers can now sign up for after school clubs, classes, and even attend school dances like Prom!
* Teens can sign up for after school clubs and classes like Sports Club or Music Club. Once signed up, Teens will learn and increase the associated skill when attending the club after school!
* School Dances will often be scheduled throughout a Teenager’s time in High School! Once scheduled, your Sim will need to find a date to take!
* While at the dance, your Sim might become the Prom King/Queen, have their first kiss, or even decide to go steady with their date! |
