Smart Milk and the college years

Is there an IQ for a really stupid sim. I have a couple of them. But it probably only tests babys.
It's able to tell you the IQ of any Sim, it wouldn't really matter with babies because they can't drink smart milk yet. I think the lowest IQ is 100, which is without stuck smart milk and without a thinking cap. 200 is a normal Sim with a thinking cap on and 300 are those genius Sims with stuck smart milk. Most Sims act like their IQ is about 30, but 100 is the lowest they can go.

As for the skill learning, playful/serious comes into play too, so who knows.
It's not just playfulness/seriousness that affects skill gaining. They only affect creativity and logic, respectively, while neat sims learn cleaning skill faster, active sims learn body skill faster and outgoing ones learn charisma points at a faster rate. Personality points have nothing to do with learning mechanical or cooking, though.

I initially thought it was because of personality differences, until I had clone twins in my Legacy family and one kid very obviously learned faster than the other one. As toddlers, both had smart milk (unknown if they had equal amounts), and had transistioned to kids without the smart milk glow. Then I suspected (don't laugh) being read to by parents. My Prosperity CAS toddlers have all been read to, but only one kid could afford smart milk. Yes, she's WAY faster in everything, even as a teen (with the thinking cap). I will test her in college with her CAS/toddler peers. It should be interesting to see the results. I should probably also mention that I have Nightlife.

Oh, my goodness! There I was in my email challenge, thinking, "am I crazy or is it taking them forever to rack up the cleaning points with the scanner." After they had been so quick to get body and charisma points. Of course it did, they are all 0 neat and 10 outgoing.

I had the same experience. My Legacy founder had twins, and one had the fast learning skill, the other didn't. They both got smart milk, but only one had been read to, so I suspected reading to a child might make a difference (it does in real life :) ).
Now that we can test their IQs we might be able to compile some more useful data.
