Raising a toddler is not easy — not even in video game life! Here's how to do it right in The Sims 4.
PostsOne of the most fun aspects of the game is nurturing and guiding toddlers through various activities, teaching essential skills that shape their future in quite a few ways. A small and defenseless toddler will need your help to take care of even the most basic of their needs, like feeding and, yes, going potty. You had best prepare accordingly.
What Is The Potty Skill?
The Potty skill is one of the five available skills toddlers can learn in the game. This skill represents a developmental milestone, albeit a simple one.
Going Potty is directly related to a toddler's bladder motive.
While they can use diapers, Potty can help keep them cleaner and happier, so it is definitely an important skill for toddlers to learn.
How To Gain And Improve The Potty Skill
There is only one way to learn and improve the Potty skill. Toddlers will have to use a Potty Chair every time they need to go potty. There are a few things you can do to make the process go just a little faster, though:
- Have an adult Sim potty-train the toddler.
- Let the toddler's bladder motive drop considerably low before having them go potty.
Most toddlers will need help going potty for the first time to actually learn the skill, and they will not be able to use the potty chair without help until they reach level two.
Benefits Of Teaching The Potty Skill
There are not that many benefits to learning and developing the Potty skill. This skill has no equivalent childhood skill, so it does not necessarily grant any special benefits other than letting the toddler go potty alone.
However, you will still need to achieve all three levels of the Potty skill if you want to unlock the special traits for successful development in toddlerhood and opt into the following lifelong benefits:

Traits That Help With Potty
Traits are really important for Sims, as they dictate their personalities and sometimes even their hobbies. When it comes to toddlers, traits can also directly affect the way they learn skills.
While no traits specifically help with the Potty skill, Independent toddlers need less help learning all skills in general. This is the only trait in the game that lets a toddler go potty alone without necessarily being taught.
Even when having the Independent trait, the Sim will need to gain Potty experience and level up the skill.
