So...I'm probably on my 8th or 9th generation of villager's, most of which were born with zero skills passed down from their parents.

After dragging one of my villager's whom I've designated as a Farmer who is continually unsucessful at planting crops, gathering coconuts and fishing, I managed to bring her - Perl, 15 - to Trainee status. Even then, she still says "No" but I keep on trying to make her farm.

So I decided to just watch her work for a while. She went into the water and came right back out without going under water then watered the crops once, and now she's doing nothing. Not even doing laundry, or cooling her feet in the stream. She just doesn't do anything.

There are others in the same situation...all born during the same baby boom.

Is this normal?
