In the[[The contextSims of(series)|''The Sims'' series]], '''Pottypotty''' refers to a [[toddler skill]] that is associated with a [[toddler]]'s ability to relieve hertheir [[bladder]] motive through the use of a [[potty chair]]. The skill startsfirst appearingappeared with the introduction of toddlers in ''[[The Sims 2]]'',. andIt hasalso appearedappears in all''[[The baseSims games3]]'', everand sincewas (althoughreintroduced it has appeared ininto ''[[The Sims 4]]'' whenwith the[[The toddlerSims 4/Patch 46|patch was added on 12th January 2017)46]].
 
Without sufficient potty skills, toddlers will still relieve their bladder motive with a diaper, but this will significantly reduce their [[hygiene]] motive. However, having aged up with an incompletely learned{{vgversion|TS2}}{{vgversion|TS3}} or low{{vgversion|TS4}} potty skill does not affect a child Sim's ability to relieve his/her bladder motive with a standard [[toilet]].
 
== The Sims 2 ==
Toddlers can be taught this skill whenever a [[teen]] or older Sim carries them to a potty chair. They will build the skill alongside relieving their bladder motive, and will crawl off the chair automatically when their bladder motive is full. The potty chair must be emptied after each use. When the toddler has mastered the skill, both the teaching Sim and the toddler will get a [[memory]] of the incident, and the toddler will be able to use the potty chair on their own, even if the chair is full. Toddlers will often roll a [[want]] to be potty trained; although it is possible for a toddler to grow up well without having been potty trained, being potty trained makes it more likely that they will grow up with a gold or platinum aspiration bar.
 
Since toddlers will build the skill for the entire duration of time that they are seated on the potty chair, the player can simply use cheats to lower or even freeze the toddler's bladder motive while they are on the potty chair. The toddler will then be seated on the potty chair indefinitely, allowing the player to build their potty training skill in one sitting.
 
== The Sims 3 ==
Potty training is one of three toddler skills. Much like ''The Sims 2'', an older Sim must carry the toddler to a potty chair, which will build both their potty training skill and their bladder motive. Each time the toddler is brought to the chair, they will learn a quarter of the skill. The chair can be used even when it is full, although doing so will result in puddles leaking from it every time it is used until emptied. Much like ''The Sims 2'', a toddler can use the potty chair on their own once they have mastered the skill.
 
== The Sims 4 ==
[[File:Skill TS4 Potty.png|55px|left]]
Unlike other toddler skills in ''The Sims 4'', the maximum level a toddler can attain in the potty skill is 3, and it has no corresponding child skill.
 
InAt levelLevel 1 and below, thetoddlers toddler isare unable to use the potty chair by herselfthemselves and will always need the supervision of a teen Sim or older Sim. The exception is if the toddler has an independent trait. If the toddler's potty skill and bladder motive are both low, the[[Independent (toddler willtrait)|independent]] automatically relieve her bladder motive through her diaper, but it will cause a drop in her hygiene motive and an uncomfortable moodlet to others around hertrait.
 
Players can choose from twoTwo potty chairs to help train the toddlers improve their pottyare skillsavailable: the Practice Potty ($§75) and the Monster Potty Partner ($§125). A Neitherpotty chair has an advantage over the other so choosing either will do the same thing. Both chairs need to be cleaned from time to time; otherwisea otherdirty Simspotty chair will getmake anSims [[uncomfortable]] moodlet whilstwhile they are around it.
 
As a toddler's potty skill level increases, shethey gainsgain more abilities aimed toat helphelping her gothem use the potty chair more effectively and confidently:
* '''Level 2''': the toddlerToddlers can now use the potty chair unsupervised,; however, the toddler will not always automaticallyautonomously use the potty chair when hertheir bladder motivesmotive areis low. There is still a riskgood chance that the toddler may usesoil hertheir diapers instead causing a low hygiene motive and an uncomfortable motive on Sims around her. The player will more often than not need to direct the Toddler to the potty chair.
* '''Level 3''': theToddlers toddler isare now more likely to automaticallyautonomously head for the potty chair whenever hertheir bladder motives are low. They will also wake up from sleep in order to use the potty. While the potty will be preferred, toddlers can still soil their diapers.
