Curfew: Difference between revisions

In ''[[The Sims 3]]'', a '''curfew''' is given to children and teenagers to remind the child and teen Sims that they need to go home. A child's curfew is 10:00 pmPM and a teen's is 11:00 pmPM.

Teens will be brought home by the [[police]] if they breakstay out past their curfew. If children breakstay out past their curfew they will not be brought home by the police, but instead will automatically go home, or to the nearest adult family member. This action cannot be canceled.

When a teenager is out during curfew, it gives the pertaining [[moodlet]] until a police officer catches the Sim or the teen goes home. When he is caught, he cannot run away from the officer and the Sim gets a negative moodlet and a scolding from an adult (that is cancellableable to be canceled) on the home lot. However, some teens get a positive moodlet when out after curfew.

To prevent getting caught by the curfew, use the "go here with..." action to have teens and children visit a community lot with an adult family member, and try not to stray to lots where it is more difficult for the adult to follow. This is useful when a Sim is trying to gain collectibles or is fishing away from home. If a Sim is at the graveyard mourning a dead family member, he or she doesn't get the positive moodlet for being out after curfew and won't be rounded up while mourning. As soon as the Sim stops mourning, he or she can be rounded up.
