Sims 3 Things you didn't know!

I hope to clarify something relating toddler books. So that anyone can take advantage of this "knowledge"
There are 12 toddler books grouped in 4 bundles of 3 books each. Toddlers can read them alone and they don't need any other skill (like learned to talk etc) to be able to read. Just plop a book down on the floor and command the toddler to read the book. 3 of those groups of books are skill boosting and the 4th is only for fun reading (This 4th lot is the Jimmy Sprocket bunch of books, bubble gum pink in colour) When a toddler reads a skill book a bar will appear above his/her head, that measures just how the reading is going. Eventually if the toddler finishes the book the bar will be full and you will get a message something like: "Toddler's name" has learned all he/she can from (name of book's writer follow by name of book) but no doubt toddler will have fun reading it again.
Note that I am writing this from memory so the text might differ a bit but that is the gist of it.
This bar will never appear on the Jimmy Sprocket books and it will not appear either if the toddler re-reads one of the skill books because she/he already has all they can learn from it.
Apart from the Jimmy Sprocket books, if your toddler reads all the remaining nine books when he/she reaches childhood they will start on level 3 painting, writing and logic.
If you instruct your child sim to either paint, write in the computer and or play chess, the skill will go to level 3 and you will get a message telling you that it's because of reading the books.
In addition playing with the xylophone and the peg box to level 3 will give the toddler a level three in guitar and the same on handiness when they reach teen years and if you have late night and or ITF they will also be up to level 3 on piano, bass and drums as well as the laser rhythm a com from into the future.
And don't forget while they are children if they use the toy oven and play with the lego turtle (brick bench?) they will increase their cooking and handiness to level 3 when they reach teen years.
It pays not to play so much with the Imaginary Friend from generations!
Please feel free to add or correct any of this info, as I am only writing it from my own play experience.
Love you all
Also let's not forget the store content playpen, the mirror in which helps build a Charisma head start and builds the toddler Talking skill. The abacus builds a Logic skill head start as well. And then we also have the walker that, of course, builds the toddler Walking skill.

You are right, of course, I hardly play with that set which is a shame really, due to try to limit content in my game, but I do love my sims getting their skills up early in life!
Right too, however despite reading all the books and mastering the peg box sometimes it will only give them a level 3 logic skill which is unfair as far I am concerned, this game works in mysterious ways.

I never knew
I won 7k in my court case :O
Now if my Sim can just figure out who wrongly accused her of peeing on herself in public...
Ghosts are similarly immune to the weather!

Your game would probably throw unroutable errors with imprisonment.
I tend to kill them by meteor. A lot more dramatic.
scratch one paparazzo.

When I bought flame fruit from the fruit and veggie stand (very nice quality) it did not give my sims the cozy fire moodlet. When I grew some (with that fruit) it did. Not sure if it's the increased quality or what.
