Homemaker Trait  

This trait is dedicated to all the wonderful homemakers out there like my mom whom partially inspired me to create this trait. Homemakers learn domestic skills faster than anyone and make excellent parents. However, they may feel stressed being away from home for too long and progress very poorly in careers that take place outside of the home.

Here are the features currently included in this trait mod:

• Learns these skills half again as fast as other Sims: Baking, Cooking, Gardening, Gourmet Cooking, Knitting, Handiness, and Mixology.
• Learns Parenting twice as fast as other Sims.
• Gains career performance very slowly.
