Hey everyone on the team—I just wanted to give my greetings, but I’m here because I find it completely strange that children, from little ones all the way up to teenagers, seem to have absolutely no regard for time (nor any other consequence options outside of scold). They frankly get to run amok
. For instance, today my Zoi, for some reason in her entire little life, thought it was acceptable to be outside at 9:00 PM on a school night—technically well past a generally acceptable point of time that a child should be outside when it’s dark. And I absolutely laughed at myself for a little while because I just thought about the fact that we don’t have a robust sort of parenting system
. Generally speaking, there’s no implemented style of parenting outside of just building up good relationships with your children—there’s almost little to nothing outside of scolding that you can do.
That said, I’m very well aware that we just recently got a huge teenage update, and I don’t necessarily anticipate any type of intricate parental system overnight or anything, but it would be nice to know if it was coming and what it would technically look like or how that would operate, as I’m already very impressed with the current development of the game. So I’d absolutely love to see how something as simple as having a curfew—or how you’re punished for breaking it—would affect a child’s relationship with themselves, their parents, and other Zoi’s they come in contact with. Thank you to all who took time to read this.
