Same issue here. My Sims' twins both had High Confidence but now they're both stuck at Neutral no matter what I do...
@SovereignSimsPersonally I think the Confidence/Self-Esteem mechanic could probably do with a little more balancing, or maybe a toggle in settings like how Fame from Get Famous is toggleable, but I still think this needs fixing. In my opinion, my Sims' children shouldn't be stuck at Neutral no matter what, and I've personally found it kind of frustrating to spend so much time trying to raise the children's confidence only for it to never do anything and have no effect, especially when this bug will affect the Sims for the rest of their entire Sim life.
I am one who though they finally fixed the confidence system where all children would be confident because it was too easy to get, litteraly just going to school and then bam they are learning skills, wow they are ultra confident... In the other hand I tried so bad to make a child not confident and it was litteraly impossible no matter how much I was mean, discourage or do what was said to be devastating for kids... all my sims would end up ultra confident, and its pretty annoying. Now all of them stay neutral... I though they finally fixed it to be more difficult, but after many test. it seems its not changing at all... It would be nice, if the negative action would have more weight, but it was still easy to have confident children... so this way, if you really want, its possible to have kids with a bad confidence, but also, easy enough that with some efforts, they can be confident, but harder than it was... I dont know, I think its a good idea, but was not realized the best way, or tune I should say. I think fixing this bug, would help making this feature better... than it was before the bug.
Update: my Sims' twins aged up today. Both were affected by this bug, and both aged up with High Self-Esteem.
Oh this is good news. I was worried about this. I never had this stuck confidence problem. I thought I was doing something wrong. Good to know it works itself out when the kids age up. (PS5 Player)
