TIPS: Growing Up

Our experiences inform our lives as we get older. For instance, drinking your dad's whiskey in the shed is a good way to become a raging alcoholic. Or maybe a politician, depending on how good you are at hiding it.

In any case, if you decide to start your Sim at a very early age (say, a toddler), make sure you take good care of them. Keep them happy and get good grades, and you'll get to have your pick when your Sim is awarded a new trait upon getting older. Neglect those sorts of things, and you don't get to choose -- which may mean that you're handicapped by a bad trait.When you're teacher told you that you'd better get good grades or you'll turn out a bum, she was right.
