What defines "Growing up well"?
kuronue:
As the subject indicates. I've had toddler twins both receive all three toddler skills, yet one grows up well and the other poorly. Is it mood at time of growing up? Happiness points received? Average mood? Obviously for children and teens grade is the number one factor. Similarly, what defines a good versus a rough pregnancy?
I usually always have my sims grow up well, but I'm challenging myself by trying to complete a series of secondary goals on one of the short lifespan settings, so I'm starting to see randomized traits. I think I like the random traits, but I can't seem to figure out what the criteria is.
Aaroc:
Honestly, from what I've seen, the good/rough pregnancy thing seems to be completely random. I've had sims who I've taken utmost care with and had a rough pregnancy, and other sims I've ignored during their pregnancy and gotten a good pregnancy. Getting a package deal from the spa seems to help though.
As for toddlers, I thought that as long as they learned their three skills they'd have a good birthday and you'd get to choose their traits. I've actually never not been able to choose a trait for a toddler becoming a child, but then again I always make sure they learn all their toddler skills, and they usually max out either peg box or xylophone or both.
kuronue:
I had them both max out logic pre-skill but not music. I only had a few days to work with. I think I like the 50-day lifespan though...
Xebarsis:
It has something to do with teaching your toddler how to walk and/or talk. If I neglect them both, my toddlers are always assigned random traits when they grow up. If I teach the toddler both things, they always grow up well.
I don't know what will happen if you do only one.

Learn to read, Xebarsis. Obviously there's something more than just learning the basics while a toddler.
I did just think of something though, Kuronue.. how were the toddlers' relationships with their parents? I guess, obviously, since they learned to walk and talk and everything, they must have each had a decent relationship with at least one of their parents, but maybe that has some factor in it?
I would attempt to run some tests, however growing up toddlers is a fairly cumbersome task, and I'm sure what to test.
