Charity livestreams perk question

Okay so there’s a perk where your sim can do charity livestreams and I was wondering if anyone has that as well? My sim has been going on for hours and her energy need has gone down very low and her hunger as well. I was wondering if these are going to hinder her and make her suffer. Has anyone gone through with it? On top of that, she also has work in like, five hours which is my mistake because I had her start the stream so early, lol... My sim won’t die from hunger will she? I’m also tempted to just have her end her early too?
  • There is a fame perk, not sure what it's called off the top of my head, But it lets you 'pull an all nighter', when your energy goes into the red you can instantly refill it by an interaction in your sims pie menu. Also if you need to see to your needs, especially bladder and hygiene, you can take up to a two hour break, just click on the drone or enter the bathroom and it will power down, just click it again to resume.
    It will even power down to give you a break when um your partner get amorous lol

    Edit: If you need or want to go off lot for any reason, take a break by turning off the drone, put it in your inventory then take it back out and resume the marathon when you get to where your going.

    Hunger I'm not sure, presumably plan in advance and have snacks in her inventory ?
    That's the next thing to try, I'll get back to you.


    When I did my marathon it was at home and I cooked and ate while still streaming, the drone just shuts down and you get a two hour break to see to your needs. Mind you, you get a message if you take too long saying your audience is getting bored waiting, hurry up or they'll will lose interest.

    Okay, that’s the exact perk I bought for her. I tried clicking on the video station to look for a stop recording button but I don’t think I saw one? But I will check again to see when I open my game back up! I didn’t even think about also using the drone but I just have her use the video station instead, lol... But maybe I could try and use it when she goes off on her break to turn it on? I obviously didn’t plan ahead. It would be fun to live stream her going to her acting job.

  • Also for some reason, I thought if the drone powered down, then I would lose all my footage when I’m recording and not streaming. That’s not the case, right? I’m still trying to get used to the sim tech.

    Oooh okay, that’s pretty helpful. I just need to have my sim use the drone because she hasn’t been using it, lol

    No, you can still recover what ever you recorded.
