Parenting can be hard work, especially in The Sims. Perfectly balancing your Sim’s home life with their work and social life can be difficult. As your newborn slowly starts to grow up, they will begin changing and growing into the person you raised them to be. However, a little help can go a long way, and these cheats will make raising children just a bit easier.
