Sims 3 child prodigy help

First, you can either start a new game, with a baby, toddler or child if you do this skip to step 5 , adopt a child using the phone, or have a child in game with current Sims. I highly recommend doing this achievement with a kid you had with two Sims that are already well established and have the Life rewards of Steel Bladder, Dirt Defiant, and Hardly Hungry purchasable under the lifetime rewards button under Sim Info.

This will allow you to focus as much time as you can on the kid. You can only potty train when the toddler has part of his bladder bar empty, so pay attention to the toddlers bladder while teaching to talk and walk. Once you have taught the baby all three skills Note, if you do not teach all three, you will not be able to complete the achievement , buy another birthday cake and have the toddler blow out the candle.

You should choose the Traits "Bookworm" and "Artistic". Make sure you have 40 Karma points available before you do this, and have purchased the "Stroke of Genius" Karma Power from the Challenge Shop, and have a computer available for your Sims. Immediately active the karma power "Stroke Of Genius" for your child and have them begin "practice writing" on the computer.

If not, continue having the child practice writing or painting until it becomes available. Now, simply keep the child practicing writing and painting in it's spare time until the achievement pops! Remember to use "Stroke of Genius" every chance you get.

Note that you can get this achievement with a number of other lifetime wishes, I just found this one to be the easiest to set up for. If you decide to go for a different lifetime wish, make sure to choose one that has nothing to do with a job, as children can't get jobs.

Good Luck! Edit: Note from Lt Davo. Thanks for the tip! Edit: It has been reported you may only be able to age someone one time with aging off. If you find yourself unable to age your child further, turn aging back on. Showing most recent comments. View all comments. Never used. Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? So my child Sim is currently trying to complete the Artistic Prodigy aspiration. Tried to get her to complete the second set of milestones by having her play with toys but none of them are working.

As in, she plays with them but it doesn't complete the milestone. January I don't work or have any association with EA. Please only contact me via PM when asked to do so. Have you tried having the child hug the large stuffed animals, i have 3 different ones and that always works for me. January - last edited January ScorpiOpal18 Do you still have issues? Have you tried repairing your game through Origin yet? February The toys must be the ones that appear in the toy-box , like the Purple Action Figure, Teresa Triceratops, or one of the toys that can be purchased through the toy-box, like the Rubber Ducky.

Playing with the giant dinosaur or the violin will not complete this aspiration requirement. Queue something after the "Play with Toy" action , like getting a drink or doing homework. For that matter, you can queue up all three toy interactions and then add "watch TV" to the queue afterwards. Do not meddle with the child while he or she is playing.

This however, gives them more time to learn skills through various ways and make more friends, so that they can focus on careers when they become teens. They can still be removed by the social worker if their motives go down or they get too hot or too cold.

Childhood in The Sims 3 lasts 7 days in Normal lifespan mode, though it is possible to age Sims up at any time using the birthday cake. The life stage as a whole appears to represent Sims between the ages of 6 and From this life stage onward, Sims start wishing for things they desire. As children, Sims will not initially have a lifetime wish , but will be free to build skill levels, pursue hobbies and develop friendships that will affect later life.

Some lifetime wishes, however, may become available during this stage as the child's hobbies become more defined, and hard-working child Sims that are assigned one of these early wishes can sometimes even fulfill them before they become teenagers. The child stage now marks the point where acquired skills first become visible in a Sim's skill journal.

Children can build all skills except charisma, instrument skills, athletic, and gardening. However, they can be tutored over gardening or charisma by a Sim that has the maximum logic sill. For some reason, a child's cooking and handiness skills remain invisible until they become teenagers, but all their other skills will display normally.

Children have three traits. In order for the player to select a child's fourth trait when they become a teenager, the child must have a school performance of at least a B, otherwise the new trait will be chosen at random. The worse a child performs at school, the more likely they are to gain a negative trait upon aging up. Children cannot have romance-oriented or persuasive traits like "flirty" or "charismatic," but if testingcheatsenabled true is used, they can sometimes get them by randomly rolling traits.

Unlike older Sims, child Sims can only die from very few causes: from fire, drowning, or meteor strike. This is by deliberately game design, possibly due to developers perceiving the death of children being disturbing or frightening to the player.

In The Sims 3 , children are more independent than ever unlike in previous games. While they still cannot cook with the exception of the toy oven they are capable of retrieving quick meals and leftovers from the refrigerator. Children also no longer need supervision of a babysitter when left alone in the house. They are capable of using their cellphone for the first time albeit strangely as they are unable to call emergency services.

Children can stay at home alone, visit their friends' homes or visit community lots by themselves, but they must be back on their home lot before the town curfew pm. If a child is out past their curfew, they will follow the nearest older member of their household or automatically head home, after which they will be unable to leave before in the morning.

Children will always choose bicycle, even when they don't own one, as a default means of long-distance transportation when cruising alone. Just with toddlers and babies , the social worker will come and take away children, if one of them are left to starve to death or hadn't been given emotional support.

As of patch 1. Children can hug toddlers, read toddler books to them, and play peek-a-boo together. They can also feed toddlers on the ground or in a high chair.

However, children cannot carry toddlers, place them in cribs or change their diapers, which prevents them from fully attending to the needs of toddlers without an older Sim or babysitter present. Children are also capable of taking care, as well reinforce pets. Unlike previous games in the series, a child will not be removed from the household for getting F on their report cards for a period of time. They may get grounded if The Sims 3: Generations is installed. Children in The Sims 4 take 7 days to age up in short lifespan, 13 days to age up in the normal lifespan and 52 days on long lifespan.

They have four different unique aspirations to choose from: Creativity, Mental, Motor, and Social, which are also special skills that only children can learn. They cannot learn any other skills until they have reached level ten in one of these skills.

They have only one trait, which is chosen in CAS, or when they age up from a toddler.
