Sims 4 Give Me Some Talent

There are six talent traits (or modifiers) associated with each skill a sim can learn. They make a sim extremely bad, very bad, bad, good, very good, or extremely good at the skill they’re linked to. The good the trait, the faster the sim learn the skill. The bad the trait, the slower a sim learns it.
As you can see in the picture below, all toddlers (created at CAS or aged from baby) may get some talent traits that make them good or bad at toddlers’ skills. This process is random, so a toddler may get only good traits, only bad ones, both types, or none of them. The chance of a trait being selected depends on its intensity. The higher it is, the lower the probability. Thus, extremely good or bad traits are less likely to be chosen than the “very” ones. Those, in its turn, are less probable to be chosen than the talent traits without an adverb. Traits with the same intensity have the same probability independently of their type. For example, a toddler has the same chance to get a “very good” or a “very bad” trait.



Besides the talents traits, all played toddlers will receive a monitoring trait. Each of them is linked with a toddler skill (except the potty one). They show whether the toddler will be good or bad at learning the child skill associated with the monitored toddler skill. To do that, they have 3 stages that indicate if a toddler’s skill level is insufficient, adequate, or superior. As explained in the trait text:

• if a toddler has an insufficient level in the skill “A” when growing up, they will learn the child skill linked to “A” slowly;
• if they have an adequate level, they may learn it slowly, faster, or at the usual speed;
• if they have a superior level, they may learn faster or at the usual speed.

A toddler will only have a superior level in a skill when reaching level 5 in that skill. An insufficient level means a skill level lower than 3. You’ll get a notification when a skill change from one level to another. Please, notice that the status update and its consequent monitoring trait change take some time to be executed. So, for example, if you age up just after increasing a skill from 4 to 5, you may not be judged as a superior level on that skill.



Strictly speaking, each toddler skill level counts to define each talent trait a sim will get after growing up. For example, a toddler with movement skill at level 1 and another at level 2 will have an insufficient level on that skill, but the first one has more chance to get an extremely bad modifier on the motor skill than the second.
In the following picture, you can see some examples of traits received when a toddler grew up to a child. A bad talent trait in the social skill is present in all cases because the toddler had insufficient communication skill. In most cases, a good talent on the mental skill is present because of the toddler’s superior thinking skill. Bad and good modifiers on creativity and motor skills sometimes appear because our test toddler had adequate imagination and movement skills.



You can turn off (or on) the monitoring associated with each toddler skill. To do that, click in a Sim (holding shift with “testing cheats” enabled), find the FDSims4Mods Menu, choose the Give Me Some Talent Mod button, choose the skill you want, and click the “Don’t monitor this skill”. You can also turn off (or on) all of them together. Finally, you can also give or remove any talent trait you want. In the example below, you can see that only Imagination Skill monitoring remained on.



Turning off a monitoring trait doesn’t mean that you will not receive talent traits when growing up. It means that you’ll receive them as if you have an adequate level in the skill not monitored. By the way, child sims created at CAS will get talents traits as if they have an adequate level in all toddlers skills. The same occurs when unplayed toddlers grow up.



Like what occurs with toddlers, the level a sim has in a child skill influences how slow or fast they will learn adult skills after growing up (or reaching level 10). So, for example:

• a child with insufficient social skill may take more time to learn adult social activities like charisma and comedy;
• a child with adequate motor skill may quickly or slowly learn some adult skills linked to motor activities like fitness and bowling;
• a child with superior mental skill is more likely to get a good talent trait on adult skills associated with mental activities like programming and rocket science.

The level a sim has in a given child skill defines how good or bad they will be at adult skills linked to that child skill. Each adult skill is linked to a specific child skill as following:



As occurs with toddlers, all children in the household will receive a monitoring trait that tells the monitored skill’s current status (insufficient, adequate, or superior). You also will receive a notification when this status changes.



Having an adequate level in a skill means having it between levels 3 and 8. A sim aging with a child skill in this range may get good and bad talent traits in the adult skills linked to it. If the child skill is under level 3 (insufficient range), they only get bad traits. If it is higher than 8 (superior range), they may only get good talent traits. Below, you can see some examples of talent traits obtained when a child grows up having adequate mental and creativity skills, insufficient motor skill, and superior social skill.



As you can see in the picture below, your sim will get a huge number of bad talent traits when they have an insufficient level in all child skills. On the other hand, if all of them are in the superior status, your sim will not receive a very huge number of good traits, but they will get zero bad ones.



A game standard feature is that a child can learn some adult skills linked to a child skill after reaching level 10 on it. So, this mod will give adult skill talent traits related to a maximized child skill when it occurs.
You can turn off the monitoring of each child skill individually for any played sim you want. To do that, click on the sim holding shift (and with testing cheats enabled) and found this mod sub-menu inside the FDSims4Mods menu. Beware that sims will gain talent traits as if they are created at CAS when the monitoring system is off.
Teen to elders sims created at CAS will gain talent traits as if they have an adequate level in all child skills. Below are some examples of talent traits obtained in this situation.



As already said, you can remove or give any talent trait you want for any played sim of any age using this mod cheats options.
