James, if you have the other 6 toddlers watch you potty train one of the toddlers, they will learn potty training, too.

Ooh, or have the one independent toddler use the potty on their own and have the rest watch. That would keep adult Samaj free to cook and clean.

My “pro” tip is to do movement skill first so that it doesn’t take 84 years for them to walk everywhere.

i actually get all my toddlers' potty skill done first (like, literally right after they age up, lmao; i just spam the interaction) because once they can use it on their own, i can basically just make them take care of themselves, and the adults are free to go about their day however they want except when the toddler needs a bath.

[@charitycodes]

Toddlers sleeping in tents get 2 up arrows for sleep (not nap). Toddler beds are only 1 up arrow for sleep. Always have toddlers sleep in tents, even the play tents. If you really want to minimize sleeping time, you can have them nap in the highchair for 3 up arrows, but it's hard to get them not to temper tantrum for being stuck, which gets them taken out by the adult.

[@mariebrown4966]

Toddlers napping in high chairs get 3 up arrows for sleep! Cue up some high chair naps!

[@Nusseline91]

Ah, impressive James! But yes this is the time I challenge you to beat me - under 1 sim day! Only because I love watching you do these challenges and want more toddler ones 🤩 I'll give you one of my expert tips tho: multitasking. Start out with big Semaj pottytraining one by one to level 2 while the rest are watching big Semaj (it goes even quicker than watching eachother). And line up the watching in pausemode so you can watch the same person over and over. Then focus on movement as they will move around quicker with higher levels. Last but not least - tiny home + studyspot and child play are *chefskiss* I've moved on to doing this rags to riches style so there's another fun torture.. I mean challenge for you! Can you keep the social service away? (Of course it's not allowed to leave any kids behind(in daycare) 😁 Best of luck if you try, I'm looking forward to your next videos no matter what they are! 🥰

[@redyankeerose]

omg ONE day? To all skills level 3 or 5? That is insane nicely done!! Would love to see a video if you have it so I can learn?

[@Nusseline91]

@@redyankeerose I'm sorry but I don't have a video. I wish I could talk better english then maybe streaming would be a possibility, lol 😂 All 5 skills yes. It just came down to Toddler science and picking up tips and tricks from different streamers to nail the 100 baby challenge as fast as possible, and as that got "to easy" it expanded to maxed skills and some 7 toddlers in between for a small change and more challenge. But here's a list of what I use: 🤔Thinking - watching adults. 💩Potty - pottytraining ofc (all the way if an adult is free to help). Also the toddler ask the adult to avoid bad moodlet because toddlers wanna do what toddlers wanna do! 🏃🏾‍♂️Movement - toddlerslide (3 slide actions mostly keeps them doing it over and over if mood ain't too bad). 🗣Communication - big teddy. 🎭Imagination - toddlertent (previously reading for them all at once which works good too). I also torture them with no sleep or food unless the bar is REALLY red 🙉🤫 For food I use the serving table - no time to cook when going speedy. And as mentioned above I'm using tiny lot with lot traits studyspot and child play. Also lining up the actions and pausing frequently to check that everyone is doing stuff and lining up more as needed. Bonus - if your adultsim has finished one of the family aspiration (happy family or something like that I believe) they get an bonus trait - called matriarch or something like that, which makes the skills skyrocket when the adult is close and triggers the moodlet for the toddlers (and kids). We're talking potentially full pottyskill in one teaching with all the above. I don't use it in 7toddlers but in my 100(++) baby challenge the mom has it and it's wild! Last tip - if you're not set on taking care of them all by yoursimself then invite the welcome wagon in and put them on pottyduty! 💩 I hope some tips can help or inspire even without video ❤️

[@gothicfairy2407]

Having a butler for all the toddlers is helpful. They will clean up the mess, can provide someone else for the toddlers to "watch" and I think talk to, and can make food. I think there's a couple other perks as well.

I'm definitely going to start using the watch option for thinking. I play with multiple toddlers a lot and this will really help because I always dread the thinking skill. Also, I've been playing with the motive decay turned up to 200 percent I think, to make it a little harder. It's been really fun. I watched a different video with it on 500 percent, but that's definitely too hard for family game play lol. It would be fun to watch a challenge with one adult and 7 toddlers with motive decay at 200. See if that could be managed while getting all skills maxed out for the toddlers.

[@sile1727]

A tip for potty training when you have multiple toddlers. Once a toddler is on the potty switch to the sibling toddler and in the chat, menu look for "watch". The "watch" option should now have a potty seat icon next to it indicating it raises potty training skill instead of the thinking skill. This way you can have your already trained toddlers train your not trained toddlers without any assistance from the parent. You can, of course, have the parent be training one and all the other toddlers watch and gain the skill. Learning potty training this way does not gain the skill as fast as potty training normally.
