Line 55:
Children can be invited over, either with or without their parents. If a child is living in a household, he or she may bring another child home from school, and other children may walk by the lot. Children visiting a residential lot will almost always leave autonomously around 6 pm, even if they are with one or both parents, or if they are visiting relatives. If a child does not leave autonomously, a parent will eventually come to take the child home. Children can be [[Telephone#The Sims 2|telephoned]] at any time, but phoning a playable child after 6 pm will result in one of the child's parents appearing on the lot to bring the child home.<ref group="n">This is due to the fact that Sims being called on a phone are, technically, considered to be on the lot. Because of this, one of the child's parents may come to the lot to pick up the child, even if the phone call has ended. [http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/smf/index.php/topic,1479.0.html This mod] fixes this "bug", but it also introduces a number of other features that may not be wanted.</ref> Children can call other Sims in the neighborhood that they have met like older Sims, and even call for some services like [[pizza|pizza delivery]], but cannot throw [[party|parties]]. Children can be given cell phones, but will not be able to use them.
Children can only visit [[community lot]]s when accompanied by an older Sim, although children in other households can appear on community lots on their own. They cannot purchase items at a cash register, but can use the [[ticket machine]] at a venue. They can care for pets, but cannot clean bird cages. They cannot get items from the mailbox or pay the bills. When using certain items, they will use a step-stool to reach for tall items. <!-- Adding activities that are unique to children. Edit, but don't remove these bits of quirks --> They can and will occasionally ask to be [[bookcase|read]] to by older Sims, who will also sometimes insist on doing by themselves. Unlike adults, regardless of their personality, children can splash in any puddles. With the ''[[Open for Business]]'' expansion pack, besides painting, they can use a [[lemonade stand]] to earn money.
Children in ''[[The Sims Castaway Stories]]'' do not go to school. This however, gives them more time to learn skills through various ways and make more friends, so that they can focus on [[career]]s when they become [[teen]]s. They can still be removed by the [[social worker]] if their [[motive]]s go down or they get too hot or too cold.
