You can't really talk about badly written children in the Sims 3. There's no writing to speak of
Still, the kids there are pretty well-done, I think.
And hey, you make me come across as some scary dude that doesn't want kids
I just mean, how can I be nurturing toward something that is not a kid, but just an idealized vision created by someone who probably never had to deal with toddlers? I mean, I love kids, but having had a brother eight years my junior can really make you a bit jaded in that regard. I still can't wait to be a daddy anyway!
