I doubt if it matters, but the toddler was never fed anything but smart milk.  I figure if I go through almost two complete smart milk aspiration rewards, I've paid for my Sim's high IQ.

Pre-NL, it just took one bottle of smart milk to stick, if it became unstuck for some reason, feed them another one, and if the child transitioned with an IQ of 300, then it would keep it until an error made him reset or I installed an EP, a patch, InTeen, or something like that.  Pescado said that the baby controller would detect when your toddler's IQ falls and direct an older sim to feed him smart milk if available.  Otherwise, he gets plain old milk (or Inge's bottomless bottle).

Haven't tried this since NL or the patch.

I'd never had the IQ tester when raising Sim kids before, but I knew smart milk was the key.  And somehow it could get unstuck, we just didn't know how.  I got into the habit of feeding all toddlers nothing but smart milk, just in case.

What's odd is to get a set of twins and have one with the fast learning skill and one without.  And to the best of my ability they were both treated the same.  At least next set of twins I'll be able to test what's going on.

I once raised 7 toddlers to teens (with a little help during the toddler years, heheh), but they all grew up "smart."  Only two were able to keep theirs all the way through to maxing out all skills.  They were almost able to do it before becoming teens.  A few lost theirs early, but even the one who lost his soon after becoming a child was able to max his skills before he was halfway through his teens.  I felt so sorry for him lagging behind his brothers and sisters.  I used the Skillinator and only skill rewards their parents earned, and they acted as instructors when they had time, which wasn't often.  With some I knew when they lost their Smart bit, others I didn't know.  Usually I'd get an error since I have debug mode on, and when I had to reset them, they would be back to 100.
