I wonder whether our sims can have more than one formative moment, or whether it is a max of one for each.Most likely your sims can have more than one formative moment as not only suggestions only get blocked out when your sim has already obtained a formative moment, but also there are these snippets:This shows that yeah, there's something that checks if all the formative moments are complete (overall and in certain categories). I wonder what's excluded.Wait...While the ones that come with the pack are blank (so no spoiling there unfortunately), it seems like there will be 50 formative moments: 12 Adventure, 12 Independence, 14 Inquisitiveness, and 12 Social types. I'll include these numbers in the main post.15 of them have been listed here, meaning that 35 will come exclusively with the pack. Remember, not all 35 include the pack activities: some of them have the base game activities.

This pack did not excite me at first - but this kind of gameplay content does! Thank you for collating and sharing.

Getaway system is something I want more answers about. Right now, here are some cross-pack Getaway stuff.Plus it's interesting to see that Drama Club becomes more useful than it is now...

Yeah, good eye.Took some time to remember some mistake that bothers me, but it isn't related to the new pack fortunately, but rather to the upcoming event.That would be Mt. Komorebi, not San Myshuno.

So much information, thank you very much for taking the time and effort to make this😊

Cross-Pack Formative Moments

At first meant for the Positive Thoughts thread, the reply became so long that it'd be best to make a separate post for it.

Oh boy I can share some code information!

Ok ok... Let me get into Formative Moments cross-pack functionality. I dug up some new traits and took a look at Formative Moments, or ChildhoodInspiration as they're called in the code.

How these seem to work is that when your child does certain activities (or socializes with other children), they could get suggested a Formative Moment. You'll have to go to the aspiration panel and choose one. Then you'll get some goals and after completing them your child will get a special trait. With Growing Together, completing a Formative Moment also increases the Childhood Confidence.

There will be 50 Formative Moments. There are 4 types of challenges:

Adventure (12)
Independence (12)
Inquisitiveness (14)
Social (12)

15 of them are cross-pack ones, meaning that these were added in files with the patch. The remaining 35 require the Adventure Awaits expansion pack to be found in the game files. Adventure Awaits pack is required for the Formative Moments overall.

While I don't know exactly what interaction cause them to be suggested, here are cross-pack formative moments! Oh boy the lack of Spoiler Tags in replies will make it take a lot of room... Apologies to everyone.
