I have to report that I have a female villager who does not like work, so I put her on healing duties. She became an adept doctor, just wandering around studying strange plants. Then, just as an experiment, I put her on farming (no boxes ticked!) and she became adept at farming. She still refuses to research, but she's really not so bad and is the prettiest villager I have ever seen. Thinking of breeding her now, but with whom????
BTW It is a complete myth that the uglies breed better looking villagers, it is just random LOL
