Toddler skill



Toddlers can learn skills unique to them. While they do not affect the Sims in later life, positive memories of learning these skills appear, and useful aspiration points can be earned. To learn any of the basic toddler skills, a toddler must be taught by one or more Teen, Adult or Elder Sims. These lessons can take place in multiple sessions and can be worked on by different adult Sims (a toddler will form a memory of learning the skill from whichever Sim did the last bit of teaching before the skill was learned). Toddlers often roll Wants of learning each of their three basic skills, and accomplishing one of those Wants brings in a large number of aspiration points. It is also a bonding experience, as it builds relationship points between a toddler and the older Sim who teaches him or her.


 * Learn to speak: This can be taught by a Teen, Adult or Elder controllable Sim clicking on the Toddler and choosing Teach to Talk.


 * Learn to walk: This can be taught by a Teen, Adult or Elder controllable Sim clicking on the Toddler and choosing Teach to Walk.


 * Learn potty training: This can be taught by a Teen, Adult or Elder controllable Sim clicking on the Potty Chair and choosing "Potty Train &lt;toddler name&gt;." This cannot be done if the toddler's Bladder need is all the way green and the option is only available when the Potty Chair is empty. If not, the option Empty will appear when the chair is clicked on. It must be emptied after each use (only a Teen, Adult or Elder can perform this action). The best time to attempt potty training is when a toddler's Bladder meter is low; the longer the toddler has to sit on the potty chair, the more progress he or she will make in learning the skill. Once a toddler has been potty trained, he or she will be able to use the potty chair without supervision, which can be quite helpful. Although this skill is not needed to grow up well.


 * With the FreeTime expansion toddlers can also learn a nursery rhyme which they can then sing.

PlantSim toddlers will be born with all three basic skills already learned.

Toddlers can also learn skills for later life using toys. They can play with the rabbit head for Charisma, the xylophone for Creativity, and the block game for Logic. Toddlers can use the Activity Table with the FreeTime expansion to draw or to play with blocks, allowing them to learn Creativity and Mechanical skills, respectively.

The Smart Milk Aspiration reward will make toddlers learn skills faster. If the Seasons expansion is installed, toddlers will learn skills faster in the Fall.

In The Sims 3, toddlers and children can learn up to three skill points in a skill by using certain toys. These points don't appear until the child grows into a child/teenager (depends on the skill) and attempts something related to the skill (such as cooking a meal or reading a cook book for the cooking skill).

How to Teach a Sims 2 Toddler All Three Skills In One Night
Originally written by Kate. If you have any questions for her, or just want to thank her for this, feel free to message her.

Ingredients:


 * 1) The Sims 2.
 * 2) A computer.
 * 3) At least one Toddler.
 * 4) At least one Sim, aged Teen-Elder, preferably one who is related to the Toddler (e.g. parent, grandparent, older brother or sister).

Instructions:


 * 1) Get the older Sim's Aspiration up to at least Gold.
 * 2) Make sure they have at least 7,500 aspiration points.
 * 3) Get Pasteur's HomoGenius Smart Milk.
 * 4) Have the older Sim make Smart Milk for the Toddler.
 * 5) Type "ctrl shift C."
 * 6) Type "boolprop testingcheatsenabled true" into the box that pops up.
 * 7) Press the Enter key.
 * 8) Press and hold Shift.
 * 9) Click on the Toddler, still pressing Shift.
 * 10) Click "Spawn..."
 * 11) Keep clicking "More..." until you see "Sim Modder."
 * 12) Click "Sim Modder" and a baby standing up should appear (don't worry, it isn't really a baby).
 * 13) Click the baby.
 * 14) Click "Motives..."
 * 15) Click "Me(Toddler's Name)..." (i.e. "Me(Rachel)...")
 * 16) Click "Bladder..." and then "MID."
 * 17) Potty train the toddler.
 * 18) Sell the Sim Modder in Buy Mode.
 * 19) Type "ctrl shift C" again.
 * 20) Type "boolprop testingcheatsenabled false." That turns the cheat from before off. It's important that you do that, because if you leave it on too long (or even worse, save with it on) it will crash your game.
 * 21) Press enter.
 * 22) Ignore steps 5-16 and 18-21 if the Toddler's bladder need is already low.
 * 23) Type "ctrl shift C" again.
 * 24) Type "maxmotives" and press Enter.
 * 25) Type "motivedecay off" and press Enter.
 * 26) Put the game on the highest speed.
 * 27) Teach the toddler to walk and talk.
 * 28) There you go! You've just taught a toddler all their skills in one night!
