Factoids and Statistics on Skill Gaining

Yup, it's true.
Neat - Cleaning
Serious - Logic
Playful - Creativity
Outgoing - Charisma
Active - Body
Nothing helps mechanical or cooking. For every point over 5 you earn the skill 10% faster, up to 50% faster if that personality trait is maxed. That's reversed for serious, so +10% for every point of playful below 5. There is no penalty for being at the opposite end, so sims of neat 0 learn cleaning just as fast as those with neat 5.
O.o That... actually explains why my playful lazy slob quickly maxed creativity but whined like a little bitch when I was trying to get his body points up. And the idiot's LTW was to be Captain Hero. Hey, baby, you need body points for that, not the ability to rock out!
cwykes:
I've just worked out a less obvious implication of that..... sims born in game will tend to learn faster than new bodyshop or CAS sims, because they have so many personality points they are bound to have more 5+ traits.... Add the stuck milk effect and born in game sims have it really easy compared to CAS sims!

Any information yet on how the new FT skilling objects compare to the existing ones? (Not really impatient here, just curious....)

Toddler Activity bench is 150, so it is superior to other toddler skillers and grants Mech and Creativity. Nursery Rhymes are 100 and grant Cha, which outpaces the Rabbit Head. As a rule, for CTAE, none of the new skilling objects really are relevant, but for toddlers, all of the new actions are superior to their original counterparts. Only the Logic Pegbox withstands the test of time, but has lost its top-billing to the Activity Bench. All nurseries will likely need extensive restructuring, as the Activity table is quite large and demands 4x4 clearance room. The Xylophone is basically obsolete, although Enthusiasm concerns may enter into it: The Activity bench will build Art, while Xylophone should build music (unverified). However, it is insuperior as a skilling object, especially since the Activity Bench in Block mode also grants Mech and Tinker simultaneously.
Karen:
Pardon my ignorance, but what's CTAE?
I love the activity table. Especially the fact that it 1) builds more than one skill, and 2) can be used by both toddlers and kids. Good to know that it beats the other toddler toys, which I had long since grown utterly sick of :)
