Character value

Character Values are a new feature introduced in The Sims 4: Parenthood. Character Values appear in the Simology panel for Sims aged Toddler to Teen. Parents can encourage or discipline their children to help develop their Character Values. A Toddler, Child, or Teen can affect their own Character Values by performing certain interactions, such as making a mess or setting the table. If Sims have a high or low enough level in any of the Character Values, they will receive special traits when they become Young Adults.

There are five character values:

• Manners
• Responsibility
• Empathy
• Conflict Resolution
• Emotional Control

There are ten possible traits awarded for Character Values (one positive and one negative for each Value):

• Good Manners (Manners)
  • Description: Sims with Good Manners won't want to do any gross manners interactions, at least not in front of anyone. They also have a new Polite Introduction and can gain friendly relationships faster. Good Mannered Sims can also Offer Gratitude to the Host of a house they are visiting.
• Bad Manners (Manners)
• Responsible (Responsibility)
• Irresponsible (Responsibility)
• Compassionate (Empathy)
• Insensitive (Empathy)
• Mediator (Conflict Resolution)
