TS3 - Anyone see a child skill building hack?
Zouflain:
I find myself skipping the child state almost completely - once they have enough school for a trait, I birthday cake them for teens. The child stage is almost devoid of content, because you can't use it to skill build almost all of the skills. While I can understand children not being able to strength train, cardio isn't taxing in the same way and is in fact encouraged for kids. Charisma is also a skill children can have, as they do interact with each other on a regular basis, and particularly precocious children can actually manipulate adults. Has anyone spotted/developed more toys (for children and/or toddlers) that add to more than just logic and the creativity derivatives, or a hack that at least allows children to read all of the books? I miss the bunny-face toy and child-oven from TS2, and all the toys Bon Voyage brought with it. Note, though, that I'm not looking a "free/fast skills" hack or anything like it, but just some way to make the child stage more useful than a boring chore.
JacquiES:
I will say that I think that the game takes some of the skilling into account. I had a boy age up to teen and he was overweight. My game crashed shortly after and I hadn't saved, so when I loaded the game back up he was a kid again. This time I had him exercise instead of video games or tv and he grew up into a slim body weight. Unless that is decided randomly, I think there is something there that we just don't see.

The child-oven is in TS3, and I think they do gain cooking from it.

yes, they can.
I use the child age for them to work on the skills they can work on, like fishing, painting, logic, cooking ...can't remember about writing. There is a farmer book that I think helps them start their gardening skill. heh, children can actually learn quite a bit even though there is a cap on how much they can learn some skills.

They can also gain the writing skill from the computer.
