Also, if you have "Cats and Dogs", and play a lot with "TumTum Teddy Doctor Playset", and then become a veterinarian, your sim will have a strong happy moodlet about becoming a vet :D

If one of your sims is in a bad mood (stressed from work, teen going through a mood swing, etc.) they will autonomously leave an angry note (sometimes several) and their relationship with the sim they wrote the note for takes a hit. I had a family where the dad was always having a stressful work day. When he got home, he'd immediately head for the board and write a bunch of angry notes. I had to give him the "Carefree" reward trait so he wouldn't get so stressed out and write angry notes to his family 😂

What I use all the time is the curfew board, journals, umbrella stand, decorations box, and thermometer right before I start the game play, it’s a must have 😊👍🏼 but….. I did not know kids drawings could be shared on the curfew board!, love your videos I always learn something new!.

i also give each toddler kid bed 2 of the articorn wall lights, stop most of the night time problems. i also give them a radio that plays lullabies. they sleep without waking up. have a sim cook a gourmet fruitcake, and give it to your toddler for their inventory. it wont give them a full meal, but it will keep them from starving, waiting for a meal. i also open the fridge and take whatever meal is in there. i put it on the floor, and they scoop up a serving on their own. ive got a kitty toy in their inventory, they will play with it when they need fun. i also give them the slablet rather than the wabbit tablet. it has more on it then the toddler version. i also put a set of blocks in their inventory, they sometimes skill without being told. get the nanny and butler to help with homework, and to do fun things with the toddler. the adults dont seem to like to dole out attention, but kids and toddlers will give it to each other. i do family meals. the kids and toddlers get the most out of it i think. they love it. i put a bear chair, a frog chair, a grandmas love seat, and pillows around the house. the toddlers choose these to eat their meals on, and will curl up and take a nap on the pillows and grandmas chair. i try to get an adult to give them potty first. this way they can do it without the problems of waiting for an adult and an accident happens. in case you cant tell, i love the kids and toddlers. when the handyman comes over to fix something, use the cheat to add to family. keeps stuff fixed if you buy them lots of parts! my gray Still Plays had a girl with the handman lady, then triplets!

Oh! I like the block table. I've never noticed that one. I have a couple of houses that have teens and toddlers, and I'm always looking for new ways for them to interact. There's not a ton of ways for a teen sibling to interact with a toddler that doesn't feel like babysitting.

@TheOGButterfreeguy Жыл бұрын

One of my elder sims was once playing with the block table. I imagined that he was slowly suffering from dementia and remembered his time as a child that way. He was happy, so I didn't stop him.

I always wondered why it said toddlers only when toddlers can't play with it on their own. Thank you for including this in the items list as now I knw they can play with it if someone else builds an item as they play with that item. I also didn't know about the doctor kit moodlet that shows for sims when they become doctors although it's a great tool to teach kids empathy. I always include journals and parent board in every family for all of the benefits they bring to gameplay and character development.

Also that lamb game table for the family. If the kids are fighting or you are going through a divorce/break up via scenarios a good game night can really help you out. You'll go from being in the red to remarried or building a sentimental connection with eachother. It is cool because you can have up to 4 people playing at a time. It was cute seeing my 3 kids and my sim interact together through an innocent family activity.

i give the kids a school project to do every day. when the school sends one home, they do 2 school projects. a great way to get their handiness skill up for teens, and get their mental skill up for kids. the better they do, the faster their grades and skills go up!

I love the scheduling board and I had the building table. I did not know that is how it works. I bought it when my Sims kids were children not toddlers. So everybody in the family, even when the kids were grown, kept building blocks but thats it. But that was it. Now I know I was using the table wrong.

@idkbalvan6303 2 жыл бұрын

Quick tip for those who use mods: If you have LittleMsSam's Chores mod you can set a chore schedule. For example if I put my teen sim, let's call her Julie, on chore duty for thursday from 12:00 to 21:00 then every thursday during that time Julie will autonomously clean up messes, clean dirty plates, take out the garbage etc. Sims on chore duty also get a small buff saying "It's chore day" or something like that. This doesn't really add to their mood, it just notifies the player that that sim's chore duty has started.

Starting a Club at home with the activities being the parenting and growing up goals actually makes the house function like a working home. Both parents help with homework and the kid becomes involved in adult activities helping with responsibility and manners. It is super wholesome and a better mode.

Late comment again, but thank you for explaining the building blocks table. I bought it for my twins and didn't understand why they couldn't interact with it, but the parents could. I thought it was a glitch as although part of me thought that the parents had to build something first and then the toddlers could play with. I didn't have enough patience to wait and see so I sold it. LOL! I'll think about buying it again.

Don't use the school project often in my 100 baby, but I used it a few times. I like using it as decoration, I have the castle in the "kids room" next to the pop up book and under the train set near the ceiling. It sits on the steamer trunk TV stand in the half tile space between the bed and the wall that drove me crazy for not being symmetrical. The other past projects I have in the "science room" the good versions are prominently displayed, while the poor ones are bashfully tucked under the frog table, in case I need to breed frogs for cash.

If you work on a school project outside, you can click on random townies walking by and select "Ask to assist with project" and they usually do, which helps you complete it faster.
