Please make burnout optional
Please make the burnout "feature" something we can toggle on/off in the settings. I hate it. It has drastically damaged my ability to enjoy this game. I don't want realism, I want to have fun playing...
Forum Discussion
@simsplayer818 Is it a creative type task, or mental? From what I gather, creative solves burnout, while mental type tasks add to it. I haven't played much with the Jungle Adventure tasks yet so I'm not sure myself (although I did put Lara Croft in my game for this purpose, lol).
@LadyAofPineapple Unfortunately, I think both types exist - too many creative tasks in a row causes creative burnout which is "solved" by mental actions and too many mental tasks creates mental burnout which is "solved" by creative actions. Plus exercise maybe helps with both. I don't mind so much that it makes you need a bit of balance in your Sim's life, but what annoys me is how quickly it triggers and how the actions to "solve" it don't actually help at all as the timer will immediately jump back up to where it was before as soon as the supposedly "helpful" action finishes.
I think you can avoid burnout by turning off Lifestyles in the Game Options. Of course, that means you'll also have to give up the things you might like about Lifestyles, so it's not a simple decision. I haven't seen anyone else mention this, so I thought I should toss it in, just in case it helps someone.
- @Sketch793 Isn't burnout a GRO feature?
You're probably right, and I'm probably wrong. I thought burnout was caused by the Workaholic lifestyle, but I turned off lifestyles a long time ago. I don't have Growing Together, so I don't know what comes with that pack.
