Hi all!
I was playing with my toddlers and one of them decided to knock her food onto the ground for the third time in a row. :upset
I feel like just "lecturing" them isn't enough. So I was wondering if someone would like to create a mod that enables a parent to punish their child with interactions such as:
"Time Out"
"Take toy away"
"No dessert"
"Spank"
And then of course, having the toddlers react to punishment to give it added realism.
I wish I knew how to create mods, but alas, I can only request at this point.
I would be most grateful if someone could maybe pick this project up? I'd be more than happy to give ideas or suggestions (:
Thanks!!

OMG! I completely agree! I was so hoping that Sims 4 might actually include a USEFUL discipline option. I had a toddler do this as well and find it ridiculous my Adult sim can DO NOTHING useful to change the behavior. Allowing the toddler to misbehave/refuse food to the point I was getting a warning shed be taken away because of hunger. (Even though I was giving her food!)
The only options we current have are under Anger or mean in adult reactions.
“Go Away” Not really useful ever.
“Yell at” Well this obvious is not going to help.
Lecture on Misbehavior also does nothing.
They could at least improve Scolding and remove it from the ANGRY menu.
Oh and NOT expect the Adult to APOLOGIZE to the toddler after disciplining them! (Particularly when some toddlers YELL back and even hit The grown up or other kids)
Useful Specified scolding would be good. For example scolding when they first start to play in the food SHOULD have at least a chance of STOPPING them from dumping their food in the first place.
“Time out" would be great 97% of the times discipline is needed, But with a toddler in a highchair who NEEDS to eat Now I think that "Take toy away" would be better. I actualy Love the idea of "Take away toy" as an option. Because I was also thinking it would be nice if they added a set of comfort/special toys/items Teddy Bear, Stuffed animal, Toy, Blanket, Pacifier.
“Fussy” or “Clingy” Toddler Would react differently than “Wild” or “Silly” ones.
Overall I would like the adults to have an option to discipline bad behavior, reward good AND overall have that parent/toddler relationship affect the kind of kid they grow into.
I find it a little disheartening if the Toddler constantly tended to grows up no differently then the ones who basic needs were barley looked at.

Anyone so far working on this?? I tried, but failed. Hope someone can help out. It should be a simple Tuning change. |

I am afraid those are controversial practices that are not not encouraged in real life for toddlers thus they are not included in Sims game, especially spanking, that is not appropriate for any age group, including adults and elders. Modern positive parenting that includes being interactive, staying calm, listening, rewarding, plan and prevention... is proved to be the most effective style.

While I understand that it's a touchy subject, as someone who was spanked growing up I personally believe there nothing wrong with it IF it is done correctly. Spanking isn't beating. It's a visceral consequence to misbehaviour that as a child is effective at creating an understanding of what it is to "fear" the real consequences you get in the adult world for misbehavior. That said, I would LOVE to see a mod where even a simple "lecture" would be a positive redirection instead of the nothing we have now. I'm not looking to add spanking either, but I really want something that can more effectively "train" a toddler or child. And yes, executed in such a way that everyone can be comfortable using it.  |

Modern positive parenting that includes being interactive, staying calm, listening, rewarding, plan and prevention... is proved to be the most effective style. I get spanking is controversial (not desirable for me), but time-outs are not. It's recommended to use time-outs vs yelling on real life toddlers. Since we can train misbehavior from pets, it'd be nice to be able to do so with toddlers. Even a toddler with max emotional control traits, they'll still throw tantrums. Likewise with responsibility and mess making. Something that I did notice is if you shirt+left click a toddler -> Sim Info there is an option to ground a toddler though they don't have any reaction to it. |

I find it annoying that a toddler can yell at the parent and the jump back as if they are afraid. I find this works. Its a version of time out but it will give you the desired behavior. Create a room off of the kitchen where you can keep an eye on the toddler and put a bed or couch only. Lock the door so that only one parent can access. The child will sit there and begin to get sad. They may call for a parent. Once their mood changes from Angry- they won’t be slinging paint- go get them, feed them and place them in bed. Next morning they are rested , eager to play and are no longer defiant.

People are upset over the idea of spanking in the same game where you can Starve people. Fight people. Freeze people. Feed people to cow plants. And so many other things including but not limited to starting a fire in a Full house and removing the fire exists.
Guys. I don't know what to tell you. People get a sharp stick up their ass over the dumbest things.
I think spanking should be in the game. If it offends you, like eating meat offends me, then I encourage you to Not spank you kinds IRL or in the game.

Or it would be nice to just have more options for punishments. Like maybe doing extra chores or grounding for more than one day. It would also be cool to have an actual bedtime for children and when they stay up too late they can get in trouble, just like breaking curfew.

PREACHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I was just thinking this even created a whole account just to say this. People are sensitive when it doesnt really count. Like you can kill a sim in so many way but when it comes to DISCIPLINE its wrong?? brooooooooooo people need to choose a side they need to understand talking is not going to do shyyyyyt in real life or in-game. I was disciplined as a kid and I look back at it and am like "Wow I deserved that" "Thank you for shaping me into who I am today, Mom" Its a fine line between abuse and discipline, discipline worked for me but most parents dont know what type of discipline needs for the certain action that causes discipline. I dont fault them either, really, raising kids in real life and in-game is HARD!  . |

I find it "funny" that there are so many mods for everything you could think of and things I would never had thought of but something so intrinsic to real life is not a default, not that it hasn't been done in many cases, but I am not here to add fuel to the fire. Instead I hope that this info helps someone.
Has anyone has tried using Zerbu's Mod Constructor to create these interactions? I have just started playing with it myself but it seems like any easy way to make this work.
