Say goodbye to accidents and hello to independence!
The Potty Skill is a short but essential part of toddler development in The Sims 4. It helps your little ones move away from diapers and toward clean, confident autonomy — plus, it’s one of the five key skills for the Top-Notch Toddler trait! 🧼🌟
🎯 Skill Info
- Skill Type: Toddler Skill
- Max Level: 3
- 📦 Base Game Compatible
- 🍼 Required for Top-Notch Toddler (alongside Imagination, Communication, Movement, and Thinking)
🌱 How to Build the Potty Skill
To start potty training:
- 🚽 Click a Potty Chair with a toddler or adult selected
- 🧑🍼 Choose Potty Train [Toddler] or Use Potty
- 🧻 Practice repeatedly to gain progress and reduce accidents
💡 The more your toddler uses the potty, the more independent they’ll become — and the fewer messes you’ll clean up!
📈 Skill Level Progression
| ⭐ Level | 🧷 What It Unlocks |
|---|---|
| 1 | 🧑🍼 Toddlers need help from an adult 🚼 They’ll still rely on diapers when unattended |
| 2 | 🚽 Toddlers can now Use the Potty Alone 😬 May still have the occasional accident |
| 3 | 🎉 Toddlers will always attempt to use the potty instead of diapers — they’re nearly big kids now! |
