ooh so fun! I have been away for a few months because I was so busy, but I always come back to the sims after a while. The Baby boomer challenge is one of my favorites and I can't wait to try it with the toddlers this time!

toddler skills seem to reset often when I engage with a parent sim. The toddler will 'teach' him/herself a skill by doing an activity and when I want the parent to help the kid the skill bar jumps back. Anyone else experienced this? It's a bit frustrating to be honest.

[Minnie Mouse]

@MissZoef I have the opposite issue. If a toddler is almost at level 2 of something that was taught by parents, then tries to finish up on his/her own, it jumps back. Wonder if there's some kind of conflict between the two methods of learning?

Another question: Anyone else having issues with the Random Sim Generator? It was fine till about an hour ago. Now whenever I click the teen/YA tabs, it only shows toddler traits. Tried different browsers and devices, but no luck.

Yeah I just checked - seems like Child stage is the only complete one.

The child age isn't correct either on the generator...my sim got Family Oriented when he aged to child, but the game didn't offer that as a choice for that age.  So I just rolled again, and got hot-headed...go figure.  Hope it was ok to do that.  Though, if they don't fix the generator soon, it won't matter cause I won't be able to finish.

[Minnie Mouse]

Well I'm glad I'm not the only one... but since the generator is still down, would it be acceptable to make a list of all available traits, number them 1-(however many there are), then use a random number generator to select a trait? (same for aspirations) I ask because I had a sim start to age up to teen several hours ago (when I discovered the issue), and I can't proceed or save till I choose a trait and aspiration.

[simfulicious]

Actually, if you click on the customize button for the generator, leave the settings as is (though you can deselect City Living and Vampires), name the custom settings something, you can then see all the traits...downside is you will get your traits for the entire life all at once.  I'm just throwing this out there for the team to decide.
