Personality, encouraging, and inheritance.

[Emradrig]

If you encourage a child's personality to be completely different, will they pass on their new personality when they grow up and have kids or will their old traits that they were born with be passed on?

My plan is to make a toddler with his nice at 10, and give him two grandparents. One with Neat and Active at 10, the other with Outgoing and Playful at 10. They'll encourage him until he has everything full. Hopefully he'll give those traits to his kids.

Hmm.

I don't know if that would work.

But I never get far enough to do "encouraging". neutral

i'm doubtful of that, personally since if you change your hair color in the mirror, then red hair (your new hair color) doesn't pass onto your kid, but if (s)he were to inherit your sim's hair color, then (s)he would recieve the original hair color that your sim had... sorry if i confused you, but anyways, to prove me either right or wrong download simPE and go check out your individual sim and then you can tell, or you can have 10 kids, possibly fulfill your sim's want and get the result- your choice mrgreen

I thought that if you encouraged them to have a higher trait, it was linked to another so another would go down.... confused I know that also happens with the interests if you get them to read a book about interests, lets say sports, another interest is linked in so that one goes down...

With boolProp testingcheatsenabled true, you can drag up their personality traits.

I don't remember if they pass it on though...

but if you have University, then you'll have to use the 'sim modder' and not click on the stats itself

stressed My bloody experiment was a failure.
Neither of the elders were able to encourage the kid. What the heck went wrong? Was it because they weren't blood relatives? Was it because they were too old? Is it just some stupid glitch?

nein, child, nein- toddlers cannot be encouraged, but wait for them to be a child and then it's available

I'm not really sure, but I had a similar question. If you "dye" your Sims hair, will they pass on their natural hair color to their children, or the one that you changed it to???
