New Guides - Children and Aspirations

[Carl]

Today I've published four new pages. The first is a massive piece by Pam on Raising Kids. This one took a while because she did a lot of testing for us to determine things like what happens with school failure. She's compiled a lot of tips for raising families in general that should be helpful to Simmers who are not great with kids, like myself.

Next are three Aspiration articles submitted to me by Metro. Each have the milestone requirements and some tips on doing them, as well as a bit of info on the reward traits you receive when completing them: Bodybuilder, Musical Genius, and Painter Extraordinaire.

Thanks to both of them for this, as I'm excited to get a lot of the work done by December and this is a big leap with my recent Emotions Guide. If you have any suggestions for these articles, post them here! Thank you!

One tidbit about how long it takes to do the homework: the speed increases as the child skills do. Each skill at 10 multiplies the speed at which homework is complete by 1.7, until when the child has 10 in all skills (like the one I'm using youth potions on) homework is done over 8x faster, taking just a few minutes.

Excellent info! I had trouble finding info from extracting the xml, so I'm glad you have shared the things you have. I'll get to editing that in soon, worried I might not finish these two pages so gunning to finish them.

Great article Carl, I found a small typo for you though.

In the end you must master Motor Skills and make it across the monkey basr 10 times, while earning a high score on the Typing Game.

It's towards the end of the article in the details of the Rambunctious Scamp aspiration.
