When going to a community lot... I'd really like to know wether or not you have to take the whola family with you when you go to a community lot... the way it is in Unleashed with Old Town. I'd really hope that it wasn't necessary as you could then send the parents out to have a little time off from their annoying teen kid. But, how would that work in the game? Would we be able to play both sides of the family? The ones out of the house first, and then the ones still at home, so that the ones who were out would arrive home at the time they did when you played them? This would be the best way to go in my opinion... and it would add many gameplay possibilities... not least of allowing the home alone teen to throw a wild party and be yelled at when the parents come home... I know that happened once or twice in my teen days But... it really ought to be possible sometimes to split up the family now that it is so generation based, and teens having different needs than the adults (hightened social needs for one). If a teen wants to go to a community lot and meet the friends it would be plain stupid if they'd have to bring the parents...
I hope that you can split up the families, that would be great for the teenagers social. Because the parents can be out buying groceries and the teen can be getting their first kiss.
