[@ahobbit1273]

I’ve found that the thing that makes raising babies/toddlers/kids in this game hard isn’t the challenge itself, but the sims glitching out so much when I tell them to feed their kids that they will just stand there and idle for hours while the kid starves.

I simply never make adults feed toddlers, I just make them cook and put away dishes and then I pick them up from the fridge inventory and give it to the toddlers myself

[@Danimeows]

That's why I just drag the food from the fridge and feed the kids like a dog.

[@skyechimes658]

The toddler slide is good for movement, and “Bob to music” on the stereo is also good until you get to the point they can “dance”.

[@1990TD]

Yes! Play with them until they can dance, or get the slide. For faster potty training: toddlers can learn how to potty by watching each other go potty! Three birds one stone.

[@christatitat]

@@1990TD Thank you for this tip!!! I've been playing a legacy playthrough for a year now, and I did not know about the faster potty training technique until now. :O

The blocks can build thinking and movement as well!! My favorite!

Blocks are way slower than the slide. It's the fastest.

Here's an idea for a challenge involving that; have a sim clone themselves via the scientist career, and have the clones move into every household and slowly replace all the other sims in every world.

[@AndronikiPouliou]

@@ShadeDergon97 yesss

[@nedrane297]

First thing I was saying to the screen, "No! Don't get highchairs!" because they'll get the food off the table themselves if you just put a platter on the table. Dancing with the stereo gets movement up. On the other hand, I learned something because I didn't know about the "watch" interaction.

[@Anjel1e]

I've seen/used watch, but never realised it built skills.

[@mi1kguts]

the slide from toddler stuff builds movement like crazy

[@noway3128]

They can also play in objects like kitchen cupboards and house plants which I think also raises movement

[@lamberae324]

When I have more than one toddler, I have the first one watch the second while the second is on the potty. It gets the first's potty skill up at the same time. Pretty efficient way to level 1 to 2.

[@delaneyjohnson1624]

I at least get 1 highchair so I can click on juice or food.

[@anska7475]

Semaj the super nanny. To be completely on brand, one of the toddlers would have to have been an alien. 😄 Thank you for making these scenario videos, they are extremely fun to watch.

[@SomeoneBeginingWithI]

You could do a version of the hundred baby challenge were you start off with a male sim and one alien toddler. Interacting with the alien toddler will trigger more abductions, and that's the only way you can get pregnant. Maybe not 100 babies, maybe go for 10, or see how many you can get to max all toddler skills, then complete one childhood aspiration, then at least 6 scout badges and at least two good character values and a B in High school, before your the original sim dies of old age. For those criteria I think it'd probably work best to use long lifespan for the parent sim, and age the children up when they meet those goals.

Hm... but what if James did do the 100 baby challenge? Now, that's a 5 year series I'd watch lol My methods to up Toddler Skills: Communication - Stuffed Animals Imagination - Tent Movement - Slide Potty - Potty training to level 2 then spamming the go potty option (if no available teen/adult) Thinking - Flash cards to get to level 2 then Shapes on the blocks. Watching is an option I didn't even know about lol Living in a tiny house (if possible) and the Child's play lot trait also help.

[@flappysquirrel5132]

Imagination: reading to toddlers. Somewhat faster than the tent. Also, my fave thinking trick is to get them to level four, and then they ask why repeatedly and frustrate the parent or an older sibling.

[@slate613]

Don't forget the Independent trait. Helps with multiple kids so they can learn by themselves while you deal with the others.

[@deliziab7693]

For potty, you can also watch the other toddlers get potty trained. Pretty useful.

[@TigerMa14]

@@deliziab7693 yes. It was an amazing day when I accidentally found that. lol

[@94karincia]

Those are also my methods, but for reaching level 2 thinking I use adult to teach shapes on the blocks (the toddler can't do it, but the adult has the interaction to teach and once the kid starts to learn you can cancel the interaction for the adult and the kid will continue to learn, but it goes faster with the adult)

I always grind movement and thinking by having them alternate the "what's that?" interaction between two objects they have to walk a little between for a few hours...probably gives them some psychological problems later in life but hey it gets those skills up

[@VioletKitty411]

I'm glad they brought this one back. I had a couple with 6 newborns thanks to neighborhood stories (both random and asking for advice), so I aged up the babies and started the scenario for them. Played in a tier 2 tiny home. Mom and Dad were basically tag teaming for the 4 days.

[@VioletKitty411]

I took longer because I was also actively parenting the sextuplets (ie Manners and Conflict Resolution) for Communication instead of letting them just Babble. I wanted them to be good little Simizens.

[@Snorttle]

Wabbit tablet who? These methods of leveling up toddlers skills are so much faster!

[@SomeoneBeginingWithI]

An adaptation of the 100 baby challenge: Start with a male sim, and one alien toddler. Interacting with the alien toddler will trigger more abductions, and that's the only way you can get pregnant. The goal could either be to get to 10 aliens aged up to young adult, or see how many you can do before your starting sim dies of old age. I think this would work best playing on long lifespan, and aging the aliens up when they've succeeded in the criteria for that age state. Aging up criteria: Toddlers: max all toddler skills Children: complete a childhood aspiration and have a B in elementary school Teenagers: have at least 6 scouting badges, at least two positive character values, and a B in high school. You can choose to delay aging them up if you want to spend longer working on character values or scout badges while they're younger. The goal of getting a B in school is just so they're going to school with good needs, this isn't about grinding them to get As as fast as possible. You can still age them up if they have an A but there's no benefit to pushing them to get an A rather than a B. You can make money however you choose. You can have a full time job or a part time job if you want to. You can use nannies and/or daycare if you want to.

Easiest way to skill up toddlers (that I've noticed) is independent toddler using: slide for movement, tent for imagination, big stuffy for communication. Potty training can't be done faster than just making them go over and over, and I don't know about thinking (blocks work well but they can get mad about it)

[@komori5247]

And if you make your toddler watch another toddler on the potty, it will learn both, Thinking + Potty (slower for potty, but still! ;) ) Fantastic when you have 7 toddlers! Tested and approved! ;)

[@stillinhere]

For someone who used to "never play families", it's amazing how fast you speedran this scenario.

[@ellacamilleri9773]

I always find that having my toddlers dance to music improves their movement skill pretty quick!

[@eauneaux]

Bopping to a song is the best way I’ve found to get the movement skill up

[@socalcol1]

One super skill builder you missed is the slide. It maxes movement skill so quickly. It is also something toddlers can do completely by themselves. However, I have found every so often, like 1 in 30 toddlers, are scared of the slide. Other then that, it's super helpful to get movement skill.

[@Plumbobi]

James: "Why would a toddler be my brother??" My brother was 17 when I was born, and then I was 16 when my sister was born...it happens man 😂😂

I think the outdoor playground toys are really good for movement skill!

[@wandaXmaximoff]

The mentor one shouldn’t be easy as it requires getting a skill to level ten.

[@sarahlitarose]

I couldn’t even complete the mentor scenario because the game won’t give me the option to write the skill book.

I did the 100 baby challenge before the tent. So as soon as the babies aged up to toddler I made a Sim sing and then line up some "watch" interactions and "listen to" interactions for thinking and imagination. I think the tent is now quicker than "listen to" but before it was the quickest way for imagination. Then off they went to babble to the toy. For movement I mostly used the ball pit. It's quicker than blocks or tablets and it keeps them busy for some time. The only thing that never was fast was the potty training.

Hope this helps for the future if you actually do the 100 baby challenge!

Do you play this challenge without mods? Many of the mods I use are just making the game work like it should lol, would that could be considered cheating?

@@irishduchess7577 Yeah I have those kind of mods - to reduce lagging and glitching and stuff, and a few that actually make the challenge HARDER like reduced tiny home buffs and Carl’s mod, and I use MCCC to reduce the lengths of each age.

[@ArtistAtPlay]

I did a challenge like this a few years ago, but it was with 7 toddlers. My rules where that my adult couldn't leave the lot, and couldn't have an actual job. Just gardening, painting, programming, etc. The toddlers all had to have level 3 in each skill before they could age up, and it had to be as a group. Children had to have an A in school and one full character value trait before they can age up, and Teens need to have an A in school, a job, and 3 character value traits before they can age up. Now THAT was a challenge. No cheats either except move objects. If you're like me and you have all your sims intermarry eventually I recommend not having any toddlers related so their kids and grand kids can marry if you want.

[@katejones8705]

In CAS, click the scenario button top right to minimise the instruction window. 100 baby challenge makes this scenario so easy, toddlers are never an issue again.

[@Laurastar2009]

Toddler emotion affects skill gain too. If they're energised they gain movement faster, and iirc playful boosts imagination and happy boosts thinking. Playing with them or giving them baths/bubble baths can leave them energised or playful then you can send them off to work on the appropriate skill.

[@marieduran6286]

Awe the toddlers are so cute, even the bald one. I would have used the cushions for the tots. They can sit when they eat. Plus I would have cooked up a butch of food to save time. Oh, I almost forgot, once they go to level 2 in the potty, they can go on their own. Sorry, I just remembered, going up the stairs helps with movement.
