I forgot all about character traits, these should definitely be influenced by a child's and teen's other traits.
- An child/teen with the evil trait should not be able to develop their empathy, and should start way out into the red so that a parent has to work to make them not develop the unemphatic trait. With the best to hope for is a neutral.
- A hot-headed child/teen should start out way in the red for the emotional control and again, not be entirely able to develop the trait at all, but at best hope for neutral. They'd also have a very hard time with conflict resolution.
- Mean sims should have a hard time developing empathy (starting full red, just like evil) but should also have a hard time developing manners (while an evil sim can be perfectly polite on the surface, a mean sim would have a harder time with this).
- A lazy or slob sim would have a harder time with responsibility and possibly manners to
- A outgoing sim would have an easier time with conflict resolution and manners
- A good sim would have a very easy time with conflict resolution and empathy
And so on. I think many traits could affect character values, especially their starting points, so that it's less or more work depending on a child's and teen's traits.
