Teens/Children Can Mess With Curfew

This mod allows child and teen Sims to alter the household curfew (set via the Parenthood bulletin board) through their own pie-menu, introducing sneaky gameplay where they can change the curfew and potentially get caught by their parent.

Key features
  • Teens and children gain an interaction to change the curfew time—but cannot remove it entirely.
  • Parents (or guardians) can detect when the curfew clock is off, and both parent and child receive temporary mood buffs upon being caught.
  • If caught, the child is prevented from altering curfew again until the buff expires, and may receive punishment such as grounding.
  • Adds new social interactions among peers: “Congratulate for bravery on messing with curfew,” “Boast about messing around with curfew,” and “Threaten to tell about messing with curfew,” depending on relationships.

Requirements and compatibility
Requires The Sims 4 Parenthood expansion pack and the XML Injector mod.

Mod release date
August 6, 2022

Gameplay role/impact
