I adopted a 3 year old orphan 11 years before his father died. I gave him the house. The father Joshua was a Poet. Hard worker except of a night when he would read the paper, magazines or books. That was fine. He became a master at 37. His son, Sunny became a Poet too. He is sneaky. I set him to work and he's watching me the whole time. I leave the game for 5 mins, come back and he's watching TV. He looks at me, jumps up really quick and runs to his work place. While I'm watching him, he works. I go looking for collectibles, I come back and he's gone. Playing piano or something else. Sees me and runs back to his job. I have praised him and praised him for working. But he still does this. Needless to say he hasn't progressed far in his career. 36 and still an accomplished 6. Anyone else had this? Pretty funny to watch actually. I had better go and find him as he won't be working. lol.
