Hey! In my game, it seems like everything I do affects responsibility, but in a negative way? It's not always when I do something that should impact the character values either—I can have kids literally sitting there and watching television, and somehow that's making them irresponsible. It's gotten to the point where I have two toddlers with 100% negative responsibility, without doing much other than babble to their parents (and no, they haven't made a mess yet, this is a brand new save/family). I haven't found anything about it online, and I've read that responsibility is one of the easier values to influence but I'm just... struggling, lol. Is there a way for me to change this? Is it just because they're toddlers (and therefore, can't be responsible for anything), and do I have to wait until they're children to rectify it? Is this a bug? Any help would be appreciated. I don't have any mods installed, so that can't be the issue.

I'm also having a similar issue with my toddler, I taught him how to say sorry once, and ever since that moment, he's been constantly gaining positive conflict resolution, even when sleeping. He's already maxed out and it's kind of ironic because I wanted him to grow up to be mean and evil.I do have mods installed, but if people are experiencing this without mods, then I'm not sure its the mods' fault.EDIT: After saving, exiting, and reopening my game, it appears that it was only a visual bug.

ALways test without mods. It's very possible that this is mod related"Sim2Spore;c-15799197" wrote:I'm also having a similar issue with my toddler, I taught him how to say sorry once, and ever since that moment, he's been constantly gaining positive conflict resolution, even when sleeping.

Do you have any insight on toddlers? I'm not up to the child/teen stage yet.

Indeed. I purposely pulled all the toys out of the toy box and had them scattered around the room. Then I had the toddler put them all away which raised responsibility. However, it's so easy to level responsibility through the child and teen life stages that it's sort of irrelevant.

I'm not entirely sure if there is a way for a toddler to anything to *increase* their responsibility, which is kinda crappy if that's the case. When I hover my mouse over the info on the responsibility section, it says that it can be increased by doing homework, cleaning up toys, taking out trash, etc. which are all things for children and teens to do.

It's broken.

These things can increase/decrease when a toddler is sleeping.

They can also reset - ie you lose all of the green progress.
