Re: Let's talk about... achievements!

@unseenlarks

Good she didn't have the loner trait then or she would have been happy standing there. If she had the Outdoor trait as well she would be very hard to get sad in those circumstances.

    @jpkarlsen, no, she didn't! (doesn't, actually, she's the Sim i'm currently playing.)

    i like to imagine that she, at first, wanted that alone time... then i guess it was too much. :'(

    Thanks for the suggestions!

    I think I'm going to start with sadness by leaving my Sim alone. She is not gloomy and lives alone, so having her isolated from the world shouldn't be a problem.

    Good thing about me trying to do the 'All nighter' at the same time is that I realized too much coffee makes your Sim dazed :P

    @unseenlarks, have you done the other achievements already? :o

    hi @EA_Mai, some of them i won't try to complete because i don't play legacies and i keep ageing off.

    i've got a list of the moods ready, to try and complete "Basketcase" now... drinking tea is super useful to get into some of them.

    oh, and i keep forgetting to assign more traits, to complete "The Most Interesting Sim in the World".

    ...and i might try to complete "Vengeful Deity", too.

    Hi @unseenlarks,

    My plan is to use both tea and the shower. I'll let you know how it goes once I try.

    For 'The most interesting Sim in the world', the satisfaction points should help. You could buy traits like the fertility one.

    'Vengeful Deity' will be interesting... if you are like me, sometimes I get tired of some Sims and make them move out of the house. I guess we could kill them instead.

    Good luck!

    @EA_Mai, i definitely will! i have more than enough points. just need to decide which lucky Sim will get the additional traits... 😛
    (edit: done!)
     
    and "Basketcase" is more difficult than i thought... my main Sim got into a fight with her on-and-off romantic interest. she never got angry, and they hate each other now. :'(
     
    let me know how you get on... (with the murders, as well!)

    Oh, true! Didn't think about how to get them angry! That's going to be interesting as well. Sorry your lovebirds ended up hating each other â˜šī¸

    I'll probably try to do it during the weekend, if holiday celebrations don't keep me too busy. Will report back! 🙂

    i was sad, but they've always had a *very* strange relationship anyway. (losing the fight made her feel dazed, btw.)

    i'll keep trying during the weekend, too. oh, my poor Sim...

    omg... i forgot about books! (the "emotional" category!)

    hm... i think that, if your Sim is abducted, he might get pregnant and his baby will be an alien.

    @siync4

    You must have the Get to work expansion for this. It helps if you have a Sim in the Science career. You can also build a rocket and upgrade it with wormhole generator to meet aliens.

    Hi!

    @siync4, as @unseenlarks mentions, when your Sim gets abducted, he might come back pregnant... but your Sim needs to be male for that. Also if you have a scientist as @jpkarlsen recommends, you can create a Satellite Dish to call aliens 😉

    Didn't have time yet to play, still no emotion craziness for my Sim... but soon!

  • @EA_Mai, you need to feedback to the programmers that trying to get triplets for the Triple Play achievement for consoles (PS4/XBOX) is just ridiculous. The chance/percentage of getting triplets with just the base game is so miniscule and apart from the Fertility Trait (if it works as intended) nothing the players do influences the probability of getting triplets.. On the other hand, people who've purchased the City Living DLC and have used the Leylines Lot Trait and Fertility Spa and immediately seen results.

    Is EA trying to lock us out behind a paywall again with this triplet pregnancy process entirely based on luck, like a lootbox?
