The Sims 4 Parenthood: How to Raise and Lower Manners Easily

The Sims 4: Parenthood introduces Character Values into your toddler, child, and teen sims’ lives. These will be bolstered (or depleted) and in the end it will lead to your sim either having a positive or negative trait depending on which ones are maxed out. Manners are one of the five values that your parent sims will be able to teach their child sims. Having it positively maxed will lead to the Good Manners trait, and having it maxed negatively will lead to the Bad Manners trait.
