What does Practice Make Perfect actually do?
This is Piper. She lives in Windenberg and loves taking photos.
Eventually, she'll age up to a teen and this is my dilemma: Should I give her the Practice Makes Perfect trait?
The description in game is "Sims with this trait learn skills faster, even if they are a bit slower at first." This implies that this trait gives a skill-building penalty if the sim has a low level of skill and a boost if the sim has a high level of skill. It's a bit vague, though.
On the other hand, the description of attributes on Sims Wiki only lists a few moodlets that the trait causes. Apparently the "Momentum" moodlet helps sims build skills in a given category. Doesn't say anything about a penalty. Does anybody know what this trait actually does?
I saw the “Practice Makes Perfect” trait explained as follows:
By default Sims with the trait will learn all skills at 50% speed. However, by continuously practicing a single category (Creative, Social, Physical or Mental), they can up the speed of skill gain to 90%, 130%, 160%, and even 180%. But, once the Sim stops practicing, the buff that the trait gives will start to decay. The Sim’s practice progress will be checked daily, if no bugs occur. So, a Sim needs to practice each category every day to keep the skill boost for that category. Otherwise, the Sim’s skill rate will eventually drop back to 50%.
