What happens when you max out the parenting skill in the sims 4?

[@SweetLala25]

I always build the parenting skill since I am a family sim player. I like the super efficient interaction. Plus, I have a mod that gets rid of the cool down. Comes in handy when you have multiples!!

[@Karamoonsage]

For anyone curious, I found the "cool down" mod mentioned above is called the 'Super Efficient Baby Care Interaction' by zafisims. I believe Snowy Escape is required for this mod.

[@GildingChaos]

@@Karamoonsage Thanks! That seems weird that Snowy Escape is needed but oh well. Still seems like a good mod to have.

[@WhY_yOu_LoOkInG_aT_mY_nAmE]

@@GildingChaosit is weird why we need snowy escape

[@HerHollyness]

It’s REALLY useful if you do the 100 Baby Challenge. Parenting skill should be prioritised above everything else because once you have that Super Efficient Baby/Infant Care interaction, so much time is saved!

[@ladyxelda]

The "Give Parenting Advice" interaction actually gives the target some parenting skill. Grandma/Mom sims can basically pass their skill down to their adult descendants if you spam it.

The best season for building herbalism is summer, that’s the season all the harvestables you need grow in

[@Japonicastar]

Having the bonus traits are helpful, responsible means sims automatically work hard in their job and after completing a work task once it means they don’t have to do it again. I always like my sims to be polite as it gives a good boost when meeting new sims.😊

[@rosetheresa6168]

oooh so that's why my sim always has her task completed, i thought the game was jut glitched lol

[@sweetskin]

@@rosetheresa6168me too hahah i cant believe this is how i found out

[@save6794]

Small tip for the character values; if a kid does that raises a value, you can pause the game and stack the 'Enourage' interaction, which helps boost it a lot. I recommend getting empathy up with 'teach how to say sorry' before they turn into a teen, cus that interaction then disappears and it becomes way harder to raise. It might be fun to try and have one kid completely in the green with another in the red

[@randil3208]

I do this was discipline and encouragement both

[@celestecv7452]

Empathy is also raised by having the child play with the doctor set.

[@anamakesthings]

That's great advice!!! I do the pause & queue-up thing when I have sims publishing books. You can normally only submit one book to the library digest/week, but like this, you can submit 6 or 7 books if your actions are lined up 😉

[@bettykline4879]

volunteering as a family raises empathy pretty fast

[@tashamac7300]

Why am I addicted to your videos? It’s like watching your big sister play Barbie’s..the best

[@DollfaceLizkah]

Here's the thing, parenting is only one part of why the kid keeps making a mess. Kids will do stuff like that no matter how much you parent them if they have low skill levels. I forget which one affects that but it's also the same one that stops toddlers from splashing in toilet. Also you won't get mood buffs if you have a bad relationship with your kid. Which you will if you constantly punish/yell at them or force them to do things. I'd recommend you make them close and be very affectionate if you want mood buffs from being around the child

[@Azmina_the_warlock]

Responsibility I think

[@tairalowe998]

because my kid will NOT stop pouring paint on the floor

[@Jessyca997]

I didn't have that with my child / toddler Sim in a very long time

[@randil3208]

"cheer up parent" can be done when there's negative moodlets for stinky diapers, infant crying, if a parebt is feeling guilty for being strict, or sad because one of their kids/fanily members are sad and they have 'shared sadness'

[@strick405]

I raised a couple of kids irl, and I like the realism of how kids respond to different punishments. In game I mostly let the parenting skill raise itself, but I do focus on a family aspiration. I just always chose Firm, so I don't really have to think about it. Guess you can tell my legacies tend to die out.

[@rosetheresa6168]

Before level 6 you (the player) has to guess what the baby needs. Afterwards, if the sim finds out what the baby needs, it will show the player in the speech bubble Also i forgot to comment on the video game one but "make fun of noobs" is a friendly interaction between another sim and "impress with video game" is a flirty interaction edit full parent mode is achieved after MULTIPLE parenting interactions in a row, i got my sim to do it with her teens by influencing them and alternating between the two teens but i think its easier with younger kids

[@sim771]

I had twin infants and two of my sims died trying to care for them, that’s how intense and difficult they are to play with. They weren’t useless fresh from cas sims either, one was grandma and the other their mother. It takes an army to keep them alive. One of the twins has twins now and I have 4 adult sims on standby to take care of them so I can keep everyone alive and happy. Higher level parenting skills means they do less useless interactions for the babies. I’ve noticed that my sims will let their needs decay to check on the infants, which is how they ended up dying the first time. Solution, don’t let you sims idly take care of infants cause they will die

[@cookiecomments846]

I always try to have a single first to get the level up. Then with the high level, but older parents, have multiples.

[@sim771]

[@vanguardiris3232]

Ugh, I know what you mean. Today my Sim kept picking up her infant, putting him down so he could fuss and cry, then picking him up again until she wet the floor. The AI for infant care is like watching a spider try and crawl out of a bath

Thank you guys so much, I'm so excited to try these things in my own gameplay! Have a beautiful day everyone

[@katrinagraham7615]

I always play with families and the Parenting Skill is one skill that is somewhat hard to avoid. When I first start a game, I start with my "default" save file and just make it a new game - I then have premade married sims who are pregnant. This way my new sim can meet them while that sim is pregnant and then be invited over to meet the newborn. I usually go around a few times, meeting newborn sims to build my Parenting Skill faster before my sim even has a boyfriend let alone a family! This helps for many reasons. Friendships with other children so I can introduce them to my sims child when they are older - and also Toddler Play Dates! You can see what the newborn wants by clicking on the baby cradle. You'll see a speech bubble for each one. Baby Bottle to feed, diaper to change diaper and a heart for attention.

[@terrylewis_]

I always like being able to give my kids the best advice so I try to get my parenting up as much as I can when they're babies. Just interact the crap out of them, plus reading of course.

[@radiant_rory]

Karla saying my name throughout the video is tripping me out, and finally someone spelled Lindsey with an E and not as Lindsay! 😂 I like maxing out parenting skill, because at a high level, with newborns, when they cry a little thought bubble pops up to show why they're crying. It was then I learned sometimes newborns cry for attention, it's not always food or diaper change.

the "Give _____ Advice" doesn't affect the sim giving the tips but it does help the other sim gain skill points in that skill. :)

Nothing like coming from work at 1 am to watch your videos with a nice glass of red wine :D

[@karenfitzpatrick6256]

IRL learning good parenting is a lot of bothersome, boring work. It's so much easier to ignore issues. Or if the kids behavior is too annoying, the first response is too often to become angry. BUT it is the MOST impactful and important skill that parents can learn. And kids need discipline to get along well in life. I'm a mom of three and grandmother of eight. There is good news tho. Just like in Sims 4, if you learn it early and teach the first child, the others are so much easier to deal with. The older one will make sure the younger ones don't get away with things they weren't allowed to and because of your experience it becomes second nature... I loved this video!

[@alexfolmer2204]

I never try to level up the parenting skill and yet even my shittiwst parents end up with lvl 10 because it's ridiculously easy to level up, if you have triplets good chance you'll max it before they become toddlers

[@hollyshaw-elliemae]

as a family simmer, who lives for the 100 baby challenge, the parenting skill is the best and worst enemy of a parental unit. its great for tods and infants and babies. its rough for children and teens, but overall, its pretty good. i like it. i like alot of aspects of the pack overall, but as a whole, its kinda lame i agree. i love the curfew option, it keeps responsible kids from going outside and playing after the curfew etx, yet if they do, it lowers their responsible trait. it adds traits which do in fact make them better adult and teen sims. before it was, get them aged up and out, now its get all these other things leveled up and actually teach them manners etc. they tend to be less assholey when you release them on the world lol. but again, i have towns that are like 50 percent my decendants or relatives , so maybe they are nicer to my sim because of the relation aspect. not sure but, its cool

The interaction about comforting another when parenting gets rough; I think it's for when sims get stressed over toddlers/children misbehave (the one with the broken pencil) ot takes away the tension and stress Just had to add, Britt just casually verbally bashing her sim-child!!

Depends on your play style or your other options but if you’re mainly a family player, I think it’s quite worth it. The bonus traits if you max the character values are quite useful imo, it’s got some cute (and very colorful) CAS and BB and it helps to give a bit more life into raising a family
