About
Each parent can expect something of each child in five areas: Education, Career Success, Marriage, Children and Financial Success. Each matters from “does not matter” to “non-negotiable”, and each parent takes bad news their own way, from unconditional to harsh.
Education Grades, graduation, university.
Career Success Promotions, firings, layoffs.
Marriage Engagements, weddings, divorces.
Children Babies, and grandchildren.
Then the family reacts on its own. Promotions, failed classes, engagements, divorces, babies and money get back to the parents who care about them, each answering in their own voice. Approval grows or curdles, the child carries the pressure, and in a big family one child quietly becomes the Golden Child while another becomes the Black Sheep.
Mod help
Install or update
- Delete the old Maplebell_FamilyExpectations folder from your Mods folder first, then add the new one. Never keep two copies.
- Both files in the folder are needed (the .package and the .ts4script), and the folder can be at most one folder deep inside Mods.
- You need the base game, Lot 51 Core Library 1.43 or newer, and script mods turned on. Discover University is only needed for the university features.
Troubleshooting
An “Installation Issue” message appears. The mod or Lot 51 Core isn’t loading. Check both of the mod’s files are installed, the folder is no more than one folder deep, Script Mods are on, and Lot 51 Core is installed.
