Hi All!
Have been lurking for a few days gleaning information and stuffs. I really look forward to participating in a few of the challenges... but back on topic.
In the pregnancy section there are a few bits of information I have learned that I don't see here
- Watching KidZ Zone increases the chance of muiltiple birth
- listening to Kids music on a stereo increases the chance of muiltiple birth
- both *really* increases this chance
Babies:
Give babies a Mr Schnugglesworth teddy bear to sleep with. The only benefit is a positive moodlet to offset any negs, and to bank Lifetime Happiness
Toddlers:
When you select the Peg Box or Xylophone and there s the red circle/slash next to Play (or is it Play With??) they can no longer gain points toward the Skills, though they can keep themselves happy
A dollhouse can keep the dreaded drop in Social satisfaction, a huge boon in families that have many children and few caregivers. I seem to recall that you can have more than 2 toddlers at once for each dollhouse.
Children:
Children who do homework with other children seem to finish faster (needs confirmation... this may be my experience only)
Giving babies and toddlers seperate rooms, even if just barely big enough for a crib keeps them from rousing everyone, and everyone from rousing them.
