Is there a way to activate all of the "encourage" options so that sim parents can undo some of the severely lopsided personalities of their children, rather than being limited to encouraging only those attributes they as parents possess? I like cheating as little as possible and don't want to resorting to an outright cheat like the InSimenator to do this.
Well, the quality of a "lopsided" attribute is often a matter of opinion in many cases, but encouraging is intended to work in this way. It's pretty hard to encourage someone to do one thing when you yourself insist on doing the wrong thing!

Aww, no "do as I say, not as I do"?

That never works out well in real life anyway. Your kids just grow up to be lying hypocrites like you.

Maybe though, parents can learn from their frack ups and encourage their kids to do better/the opposite? I didn't know this is how the game worked since right now, I've only got babies and I haven't been able to play past that yet. If we're going for what's realistic, parents should be able to encourage their kids to do everything, not just the qualities/skills whatever they have, but the effect of said encouragement should be stronger with those attributes the parents actually have. Then again, I know people who turned out to be the opposite of what their parents encouraged them to be, having had (the parents) those attributes.
Question: I've seen this referred to countless times but am not sure what it is...what's a Legacy family, actually?
