Growing Pains Mod by thatssojordy | Chinese Translation
Family life in The Sims 4 has never been this packed with meaningful moments.

If you have ever felt that your Sims' family stories deserved more depth, this translation opens the door to one of the richest family-focused mods available.
What the Growing Pains Mod Adds to Family Gameplay
The original Growing Pains mod by thatssojordy is a massive gameplay overhaul, and this Chinese translation preserves every feature while making it accessible to a wider audience. The mod covers parenting, growing up, romance, and marriage, giving each life stage something new to experience.
Preschools for Toddlers
Toddlers finally get a home away from home. Four different preschools are available, each open Monday through Friday from 7:30 AM to 4 PM. Every school teaches all toddler skills, but each one specializes in something different. Enchanted Stars focuses on creativity, while The Will Wright Academy emphasizes communication. Attendance costs 150 Simoleons, and toddlers return after four to five hours with a special behavior report.
Afterschool Programs and Prom Nights
The Pleasant Afternoon Youth Center gives kids a flexible place to go after school or on weekends, closed only on Sundays. Children can take art classes, play video games with friends, or sharpen their equestrian skills, all for free and for just one to four hours. Teens are not left out either, thanks to a Prom rabbit hole that requires purchasing a 150 Simoleon ticket, valid Thursday through Saturday from 6 PM to 11 PM.
College Preparation and Family Values
Teens can now be asked about their college plans, and your choice grants a cute buff. A custom holiday tradition encourages Sims to apply or enroll at university and spend time with family. Family Values act as reward traits that reflect what matters most to a household, though only Young Adults and older can actually gain one.
Game Shows, Quality Time, and Baby Planning
Families can appear on the Familial Dispute Show, a rabbit hole that can pay out between 10,000 and 50,000 Simoleons. Quality Time interactions on your Sim's phone let them bond through berry picking or Winterfest caroling. Sims thinking about starting a family can use a special interaction once their romance score reaches 60, bringing back the beloved Baby Fever and Anti-Baby Fever buffs.
New Traditions, Lot Traits, and Memories
Two new holiday traditions arrive with School Picture Day and Anniversaries. The Grandparents House lot trait boosts friendship, Charisma, Knitting, and Cooking skills while keeping Sims happier. A functional Family Photo Album, created with SixamCC, lets Sims place their own photos, though that version requires Growing Together.
Compatibility and Supported Versions
Before you download Growing Pains Mod by thatssojordy | Chinese Translation, check that your game is updated to a recent patch level, since large script mods like this one depend on current game code. The mod is designed for The Sims 4 and works alongside most other family-oriented mods, but conflicts can appear if another mod edits the same interactions, holiday traditions, or lot traits. Always keep backups of your saves and remove outdated script mods before updating.
For players who want a smoother setup, the foxygame.net launcher offers a one-click install option that handles the Chinese translation files automatically, so you can spend less time sorting folders and more time playing.
