I haven't played sims for some time, and over the holidays, I acquired the Snowy Escape pack. I made a new sim with an outdoorsy, adventurous trait, and I hoped for this sim to succesfully complete the mountain expedition. Levelling up on climbing skills is quite slow, and a bit of a grind, but he's finally progressing. As soon as he hit level eight though, he suddenly keeps getting this 'been there, done that' bored moodlet whenever I get him to practice climbing. Is this stemming from the adventurous trait? I don't think I've ever seen this type of moodlet before in any of my sims from previous saves, and even sims in his household don't ever get this moodlet. He's my only adventurous sim, so I wonder if this is the reason? It's quite frustrating as he's not even gone on the excursion yet. How is this moodlet going to affect the success of the expedition? I was waiting until he's a little bit better off financially, and I was waiting for him to reach level 9 so he can craft his own bars. It seems such a shame that after all this preparation, and now that he's finally getting closer to his goal, that he's suddenly bored of doing this!

Interesting. I haven't explored this Trait too much yet, but maybe it requires switching up activities. You could try taking a break from climbing and take the Sim skiing or hiking or something instead for a day or two, maybe that will refresh him for climbing again. I believe the Trait does say something to the effect that the Sim is an adrenaline junky and likes trying out all kinds of activities.

It certainly does say that sims are a bit of an adrenaline junky. I too had this same bored moodlet, but not with the rock climbing skill. It was with the painting skill in which my sim had maxed out and still got that been there done that issue. It seems like once a sim reaches a certain level in any skill, they lose interest in it. And taking a few days off from that skill doesn't seem to help either. Because I too tried that path to rid that moodlet. The moodlet will clear, but it comes right back as soon as you have your sim do something that's tied to that skill.

Ahh, I see. Does the trait distinguish between the rock climbing machine and actual mountain climbing? I feel that it should because doing the real thing would be much more exciting.
