Character values are a new feature introduced in The Sims 4: Parenthood. They appear in the Simology panel for Sims aged toddler to teen and parents can encourage or discipline their children to help them develop these values. There are five different character values: Manners, Responsibility, Empathy, Conflict Resolution and Emotional Control.
Toddlers, children, and teens can and will affect their own character values by performing certain interactions, such as making a mess or setting the table. Ignoring punishments such as grounding or time outs will affect children's character values negatively, and washing the dishes along with cleaning the house affecting the values positively.
There are no right or wrong way for children to raise/lower their character values, and is mostly depended on the caregiver and the caregivers parenting skill. Some traits such as mean will also automatically lower children's empathy, while self-assured will have emotional control positive from the start.
After a teen becomes a young adult, they will receive a special trait that is based on how the teen's character values were. The trait will only be gotten when one of the five values are on their highest or lowest point and Sism can only receive one trait per value, which is either a positive one or a negative one.
