I always build the parenting skill since I am a family sim player. I like the super efficient interaction. Plus, I have a mod that gets rid of the cool down. Comes in handy when you have multiples!!
For anyone curious, I found the "cool down" mod mentioned above is called the 'Super Efficient Baby Care Interaction' by zafisims. I believe Snowy Escape is required for this mod.
It’s REALLY useful if you do the 100 Baby Challenge. Parenting skill should be prioritised above everything else because once you have that Super Efficient Baby/Infant Care interaction, so much time is saved!
The "Give Parenting Advice" interaction actually gives the target some parenting skill. Grandma/Mom sims can basically pass their skill down to their adult descendants if you spam it.
Here's the thing, parenting is only one part of why the kid keeps making a mess. Kids will do stuff like that no matter how much you parent them if they have low skill levels. I forget which one affects that but it's also the same one that stops toddlers from splashing in toilet. Also you won't get mood buffs if you have a bad relationship with your kid. Which you will if you constantly punish/yell at them or force them to do things. I'd recommend you make them close and be very affectionate if you want mood buffs from being around the child
Having the bonus traits are helpful, responsible means sims automatically work hard in their job and after completing a work task once it means they don’t have to do it again. I always like my sims to be polite as it gives a good boost when meeting new sims.😊
Small tip for the character values; if a kid does that raises a value, you can pause the game and stack the 'Enourage' interaction, which helps boost it a lot. I recommend getting empathy up with 'teach how to say sorry' before they turn into a teen, cus that interaction then disappears and it becomes way harder to raise. It might be fun to try and have one kid completely in the green with another in the red
That's great advice!!! I do the pause & queue-up thing when I have sims publishing books. You can normally only submit one book to the library digest/week, but like this, you can submit 6 or 7 books if your actions are lined up 😉
"cheer up parent" can be done when there's negative moodlets for stinky diapers, infant crying, if a parebt is feeling guilty for being strict, or sad because one of their kids/fanily members are sad and they have 'shared sadness'
I am loving this video and comment section right now. I'm struggling so badly with the Super Parent aspiration, and I'm learning so much about parenthood thanks to Carla and the rest of y'all. Thank you guys so much, I'm so excited to try these things in my own gameplay! Have a beautiful day everyone
I raised a couple of kids irl, and I like the realism of how kids respond to different punishments. In game I mostly let the parenting skill raise itself, but I do focus on a family aspiration. I just always chose Firm, so I don't really have to think about it. Guess you can tell my legacies tend to die out.
Before level 6 you (the player) has to guess what the baby needs. Afterwards, if the sim finds out what the baby needs, it will show the player in the speech bubble Also i forgot to comment on the video game one but "make fun of noobs" is a friendly interaction between another sim and "impress with video game" is a flirty interaction edit full parent mode is achieved after MULTIPLE parenting interactions in a row, i got my sim to do it with her teens by influencing them and alternating between the two teens but i think its easier with younger kids
I had twin infants and two of my sims died trying to care for them, that’s how intense and difficult they are to play with. They weren’t useless fresh from cas sims either, one was grandma and the other their mother. It takes an army to keep them alive. One of the twins has twins now and I have 4 adult sims on standby to take care of them so I can keep everyone alive and happy. Higher level parenting skills means they do less useless interactions for the babies. I’ve noticed that my sims will let their needs decay to check on the infants, which is how they ended up dying the first time. Solution, don’t let you sims idly take care of infants cause they will die
Ugh, I know what you mean. Today my Sim kept picking up her infant, putting him down so he could fuss and cry, then picking him up again until she wet the floor. The AI for infant care is like watching a spider try and crawl out of a bath
5:07 I suggest the Smarter Pie Menu mod by Twisted Mexi, it allows you to start typing the command you want to do! frickin lifesaver, there are too many subcategories now!
I always play with families and the Parenting Skill is one skill that is somewhat hard to avoid. When I first start a game, I start with my "default" save file and just make it a new game - I then have premade married sims who are pregnant. This way my new sim can meet them while that sim is pregnant and then be invited over to meet the newborn. I usually go around a few times, meeting newborn sims to build my Parenting Skill faster before my sim even has a boyfriend let alone a family! This helps for many reasons. Friendships with other children so I can introduce them to my sims child when they are older - and also Toddler Play Dates! You can see what the newborn wants by clicking on the baby cradle. You'll see a speech bubble for each one. Baby Bottle to feed, diaper to change diaper and a heart for attention.
I always like being able to give my kids the best advice so I try to get my parenting up as much as I can when they're babies. Just interact the crap out of them, plus reading of course.
if my english teacher knew how i'm improving my listening in the language, she would laugh a lot, but learning english by watching the sims is amazing lol
Im always trying to figure out what to do when i play the sims. I think im going to start maxing out all the skills i dont normally use. ❤ your videos!
Karla saying my name throughout the video is tripping me out, and finally someone spelled Lindsey with an E and not as Lindsay! 😂 I like maxing out parenting skill, because at a high level, with newborns, when they cry a little thought bubble pops up to show why they're crying. It was then I learned sometimes newborns cry for attention, it's not always food or diaper change.
IRL learning good parenting is a lot of bothersome, boring work. It's so much easier to ignore issues. Or if the kids behavior is too annoying, the first response is too often to become angry. BUT it is the MOST impactful and important skill that parents can learn. And kids need discipline to get along well in life. I'm a mom of three and grandmother of eight. There is good news tho. Just like in Sims 4, if you learn it early and teach the first child, the others are so much easier to deal with. The older one will make sure the younger ones don't get away with things they weren't allowed to and because of your experience it becomes second nature... I loved this video!
Catching back up with all your vids lol! Loved this one! 😍 I have so many parents so I always end up maxing it, but never really looked at what each level did, it does make more sense though now I know, I need to look up the making parents feel better interaction as I've never seen that before. Super parents glow lol, it's fun to see! 🌟😍
I never try to level up the parenting skill and yet even my shittiwst parents end up with lvl 10 because it's ridiculously easy to level up, if you have triplets good chance you'll max it before they become toddlers
as a family simmer, who lives for the 100 baby challenge, the parenting skill is the best and worst enemy of a parental unit. its great for tods and infants and babies. its rough for children and teens, but overall, its pretty good. i like it. i like alot of aspects of the pack overall, but as a whole, its kinda lame i agree. i love the curfew option, it keeps responsible kids from going outside and playing after the curfew etx, yet if they do, it lowers their responsible trait. it adds traits which do in fact make them better adult and teen sims. before it was, get them aged up and out, now its get all these other things leveled up and actually teach them manners etc. they tend to be less assholey when you release them on the world lol. but again, i have towns that are like 50 percent my decendants or relatives , so maybe they are nicer to my sim because of the relation aspect. not sure but, its cool
The interaction about comforting another when parenting gets rough; I think it's for when sims get stressed over toddlers/children misbehave (the one with the broken pencil) ot takes away the tension and stress Just had to add, Britt just casually verbally bashing her sim-child!! "You don't have friends anyway!"
I always keep my sims parents around so they can help with the kids and they most likly have a decent parenting skil already retired sim grandparents make it easy to have to both working sims while they watch the grand kids normaly if it isnt chaos
hi i noticed that ur planning to see all tabs just to find parenting actions! just wanna let you know that there’s already mod for searching actions by little ms sam if im not mistaken! :))
I love how nobody is talking about how she just got the "play the Sims 4 for 24 hours" achievement and she said "yeah that sounds a bit right 😅" LIKE WHAT, GIRL IS ON HER GRIND
I made the mistake of befriending Megumi Ito ....she shows up every. single. day. Even in a group, of a spot is available beside my Sim - she sits. Convo going on? She buts in. Ive seen her move to sit beside my sim when i try to avoid her....
Depends on your play style or your other options but if you’re mainly a family player, I think it’s quite worth it. The bonus traits if you max the character values are quite useful imo, it’s got some cute (and very colorful) CAS and BB and it helps to give a bit more life into raising a family
When you influence you need to only choose one thing to influence it doesn’t cue up the next thing you choose when they finished one Thing you influenced THEN go influence anotherc
Once you get the super efficient baby care option its only good for the 100 baby challenge lol. Unless you have like five kids by the time you get it you don’t have babies haha. Your sim is an amazing grandma though, they pull up to the kids house and solve all the grandbabies needs in like two seconds lol.
Sims idea of strict parenting is hilarious 😂💖😅 basically they want you to allow the child to run around naked and wild painting the town in splats 😹😹😹😹😹😹 and wonder why the neighborhood kids are so bad 🙈 premade townies are Very Desperate , they just want a house & to not be nulled 😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹

Responsibility I think
because my kid will NOT stop pouring paint on the floor
I didn't have that with my child / toddler Sim in a very long time
Having the bonus traits are helpful, responsible means sims automatically work hard in their job and after completing a work task once it means they don’t have to do it again. I always like my sims to be polite as it gives a good boost when meeting new sims.😊
oooh so that's why my sim always has her task completed, i thought the game was jut glitched lol
@@rosetheresa6168me too hahah i cant believe this is how i found out

I do this was discipline and encouragement both
Empathy is also raised by having the child play with the doctor set.
That's great advice!!! I do the pause & queue-up thing when I have sims publishing books. You can normally only submit one book to the library digest/week, but like this, you can submit 6 or 7 books if your actions are lined up 😉
volunteering as a family raises empathy pretty fast

I always try to have a single first to get the level up. Then with the high level, but older parents, have multiples.

i only build parenting during 100 baby challenges; super efficient baby/infant care helps so much. love this series!
Idk about everyone else but i would listen to a book about dog shit if britt was reading it 😂
Same, her narration and humour would make even the boringest thing entertaining to listen to 😂
18:48 the way she raised her eyebrow after you said that
if my english teacher knew how i'm improving my listening in the language, she would laugh a lot, but learning english by watching the sims is amazing lol
I've seen that lots of people say they learned English (or another language) from video games. It is genius, really. 😊
hahaha same my English is so good thanks to years on TH-cam
i don't think i told you this before but I really love your humor
i love watching other people play with their barbies-- i mean sims! great channel!
Imagine taking that sentence out of context, "I feel like punishment should be available to everyone. "
Im always trying to figure out what to do when i play the sims. I think im going to start maxing out all the skills i dont normally use. ❤ your videos!
You have to use the find out what's wrong interaction on the baby
Nothing like coming from work at 1 am to watch your videos with a nice glass of red wine :D
omg I clicked on this video thinking it said painting skill and I was 8 minutes in confused when the painting would start 😭😭😭

Best way to build parenting is to buy the parenting skill books and spam your sim reading them during pregnancy 😂😂
as far as I know you can increase your parenting skill by reading about it, not necessarily do particular activities.

You can turn off the relationship thing in the pack tab in settings under High School Years.
Maybe with teens it would be more interesting. Especially with a rebellious teen
Yuppp especially with mods like basementals having teen sims come back high is a roller coaster
is parenthood a game pack that is worth spending money on? i wanna buy a pack but i don’t know what one lmao

Please, teach us how do you edit your videos
I can’t find you on the gallery have you changed your ID?
Cannot influence them to do more than one thing at a time or they will not complete the earlier tasks is what I have found.
what pack needed for parenting skills?
Parenthood
And growing together with it probably, it was on sale recently at least
I think the parenting skill is helpful if you are playing the drifter challenge.
