More toddler tips:
1. Toddlers can eat fresh produce from their pockets. This is basically instant, and about five bits of produce fill their hunger need AND give them a happy bonus which can boost skill gain. This saves a lot of time compared to having them eat from a plate.
There’s also occasionally a bug that causes all the produce they’ve eaten to respawn in their inventory or around their person, which isn’t intended, but does mean you have an infinite unspoiling food source that’s self regenerating.
2. Toddler beds have a default sleep stat of 1, which means it takes forever to fill their sleep bar (as a way of simulating kids needing more sleep). But if you make sure your toddler is already asleep and then leave your home lot without them, the AI that takes care of needs from home will fill their sleep bar using the a standard stat that is much higher. Keep an eye on their needs while you’re away, and when they wake up you can head back home and they’ll be ready to get back to the skill grind much sooner than they would’ve if you’d stayed on the lot with them.
