Give Me Some Talent

(If you downloaded this using the app, you have to manually delete the package files of DLCs you don't have and add-ons you don't want. ) Short Description: This mod adds more than 120 new traits that make sims learn skills faster or slower than usual. A sim will get them based on their previous life-stage skills level. So, toddler skills define how much faster (or slower) a sim will learn child skills. In its turn, child skills are important to determine which speed a sim will learn a skill they can only train after growing up. In summary, this mod will punish your sims if they don t have sufficient toddler and child skills before growing up. For example, a toddler with low Movement Skill will get traits that make them slowly learn the Motor Skill and other child skills linked to movement, such as fishing. Similarly, child sims with low Motor Skill tend to slowly learn teen/adult skills linked to motor activities, such as fitness. This feature only applies to sims marked as played . Unplayed ones will randomly receive talent traits independently of their previous life stage skills levels. All toddlers, and sims created at CAS, also randomly get some traits that make them good or bad at some skills. The same occurs for all sims created before this mod installation. You can also manually remove or add any talent trait you want. Detailed Description: There are six talent traits (or modifiers) associated with each skill a sim can learn. They make a sim extremely bad, very bad, bad, good, very good, or extremely good at that skill. The good the trait, the faster the sim learns the skill. The bad the trait, the slower a sim learns it. As you can see in the picture below, all toddlers (created at CAS or aged from infant) may get some talent traits that make them good or bad at toddlers skills. This process is random, so a toddler may get only good traits, only bad ones, both types or none of them. The chance of a trait being selected depends on its intensity. The higher it is, the lower the probability. Thus, extremely good or bad traits are less likely to be chosen than the very ones. Traits with the same intensity have the same probability independently of their type. For example, a toddler has the same chance to get a very good or a very bad trait. Besides the talent traits, all played toddlers will receive a monitoring trait. Each of them is linked with a toddler skill (except the potty one). They show whether the toddler will be good or bad at learning the child skills associated with the toddler skill this trait refers to. These monitoring traits have 3 stages that indicate if a toddler s skill level is at low, moderate, or high levels. As explained in the trait text: if a toddler has a low level in the skill A when growing up, they will learn the child skills linked to A slowly; if they have a moderate level, they may learn it slowly, faster, or at the usual speed; if they have a high level, they may learn faster or at the usual speed.
