Smart Milk and the college years
J. M. Pescado:
The Smart Milk stickiness appears to take effect the moment a toddler drinks a smart milk, consistently. It remains in effect until one of the following happens:
1. The sim is reinstanced due to transport to a community lot(temporary), moving in, or being deleted.
2. The toddler is bathed.
3. You install a patch or expansion pack which causes a large-scale reset.

So, does this mean that bathing reduces your IQ down to 1/3? :o

It resets the sim's IQ to its baseline, which is 100. Smart milk and the the thinking cap only boost your sims IQ or rate of learning temporarily, except that when your sim gets stuck on smart milk, they continue learning faster until one of the things happens that JM mentioned above. Then they are normal again.
C.S.:
I'm a bit confused by the "temporary" part in #1, "The sim is reinstanced due to transport to a community lot(temporary)...". The temporary here refers to temporarily losing the smartmilk stickiness or losing it for good just because they were on a community lot temporarily?

The whole thread is good, but this part applies to your question:
Quote from: Pescado
Actually, in the teen stage, you don't need the thinking cap ever if your smart milk stuck during toddlerhood. You will remain smarted even unto teen: In fact, it will last forever until you move out or delete your sim. Note that you will temporarily lose this ability if you go to a community lot (your sim is reinstanced there), but it will resume when your sim returns home. However, if you delete your sim at home and force him to respawn by the mailbox, he will lose it. The bottom line being that thinking caps are no longer necessary at all, and if you wear a thinking cap, you will not gain a cumulative bonus, you will simply lose your smart milk stuckiness and actually learn slower.
The Skillinator autodetects this and bypasses thinking cappage if it is unnecessary.
