What is the first LTR you usually give your sims?

I use steel bladder because it's boring to have to send a sim to the toilet.

I also make sure one of my sims gets no bills ever as well because I keep forgetting to pay the bills and don't want to be bothered with adding a mod to take care of something I can get from a LT Reward.

But they don't generally get no bills ever until they've got a heap of other rewards I like them to have first. It is something they save up for eventually.

No, I haven't added Traveler or many other of the useful NRaas mods. I play on a very "essential only" basis, though I do admit that I find some mods by velocitygrass, twoftmama, nona, KissingToast, shimrod, and others essential if it means I can shift more items up and down on a wall or have CASt versions without set stencils and such. I do have a better computer now and I could rethink what I add to my mods.

The cache clearing and acquaintances dropping out might not be related. Maybe it's just what the game chooses to reload. My sims will give everyone they see a friendly introduction until they reach celebrity status (or know 24 people, if they are children) so that they can then make friends easily. Even when I am not playing large households, the sims just don't retain all the acquaintances over time. Not all of them have disappeared from the world, just disappeared from the list of acquaintances. (I associate it with refreshing or reloading my game and thus thought it could be tied to caches.)

Observant. I have had parents not know traits of their children. :lol:

Never weary. I hate when they get tense. It ruins my fun lol

I will choose to get whatever they needed most at the time I give them a lifetime reward or whatever will help hem the most.

Observant is always my first choice so that my Sims can get to know other Sims' traits faster. The next one is Simunity - I don't like my Sims to get sick! :smiley:

I save up for the trait enhancing rewards pertinent to the individual Sim first, with social enhancement rewards/buffers (Observant, Long Distance Friend) being secondary. Most of my Sims are self-employed and use the consignment store for selling their wares, so Suave Seller is a reward I use often and get early on. I also tend to go for rewards that benefit the whole household, like Fireproof Homestead and the Collection Helper object. I rarely use rewards that manage needs (steel bladder, dirt defiant) and never use money rewards (inheritance, no bills).

I like to get Meditative Trance Sleep. I like the way it shortens the sleep time required by just enough to allow my sim much more freedom to enjoy the evening and still wake up in time to get ready for the day. Even more helpful when the family includes a baby or toddler. Because the length of time it takes to get a good night's sleep is reduced, I have a wider selection of beds to pick from without worrying about the energy level.

I like Fast Learner because I have this need to make all of my sims have level 10 in all skills. I see it as a challenge for myself. Otherwise I will save up and get them a free degree so they don’t have to go to college. I also see it as a challenge to give them multiple degrees.

Long distance friend. Ticks me off after the effort of making a friend that you can lose them if you don't chat with them every day!

^Ditto! :star:
Great minds think alike @bekkasan

Fast Learner is pretty much always my next one... Then the steel bladder and such. ;)
