Let me clarify:Within TS4, there are objects that pretty much outclass most of what a sim can do, themselves: Omiscan relics (Jungle Adventure) Dr. June's Weather Machine (Seasons) The Crystal Crown (Get Famous) Sleeping Pod (Get Famous) The Cloning Device (Get To Work) The SimRay (Get To Work) Serums (Get To Work) The Whispering Wishing Well (Romantic Garden)--and I'm sure I'm missing one or two. How often do you make use of one or more of these objects?

I think I haven't used these items much, because some of them, such as the weather machine, feel like cheating (when I played TS2 at some point I stopped using some of the aspiration rewards because they felt like cheating and made the game too easy, so I think this is like an old habit of mine). Anyhow, lately I have started to think that I shouldn't just outright rule these items out of my options, but enjoy the possibilities they offer and use them if I feel like it, but maybe just in special occasions or with specific sims. It could be fun! I have never used the crystal crown, but I'd like to try it someday. One of my famous sims has a sleeping pod and she uses it. However, I thought it's pretty much a "normal" bed and just learnt about the things you can do with it. Pretty cool! Now I really want to give it to some evil sim who wants to hack dreams and lock sims in pods :naughty: I have collected some omiscan relics and tested them a bit. I want to use them more, but I'm just waiting for to pick the right sim for that :smiley: So far I have only used dr. June's weather machine when I tested bugs, but I placed it to the Bluffs not long ago, because I thought I might want to use it there someday if rain/thunder is going to wreck my sims' party and I don't want to come up with new plans. I also think I placed it in a water park in Brindleton Bay.

That's about right. There has to be some reason in the course of playing that compels me to use them or I won't, and it doesn't happen often. I actually could have selected rarely.

I usually have them sitting around or collected, but cannot always be bothered to work them optimally.

The Crystal Crown is my guilty secret for one of my sims. I have never used the other objects, though, except the sleep pod.

Only when the gameplay demands it, so when playing an adventurer or scientist. But I never really use the stuff that isn't tied to a career or aspiration. I might have used the weather machine more often if I didn't have MCCC to just cheat the weather.

How often do you use powerful/extraneous objects?

Everytime: my vampires, mad scientists and spellcasters need to punish the townies for interrupting them with their compulsive idle chat >:)

I have never used the relics but i'll leave them for my spellcasters and pirate family.
Weather machine is used by specific spellcasters.
My aliens uses the crown, sleeping pod, cloning device, simray and certain serums.
My scientists uses simray, and cloning device and certain serums.
The wishing well can be used by any of my sims. But next time I'll save the game before asking it for anything just in case I need to prevent another death. :#

I've seen some of that stuff during the gameplay review but I've never thought to explore it myself. I used that wishing well once to try to bring a sim back to life.

I prefer a more realistic gameplay and think the game can be a little too easy to begin with so I don't like to use those items unless its a save where I don't care about playing with cheats. I have 2 saves currently. One for strictly building things and just playing around and one where I achievement hunt without cheats and play through some generations.

My sims use magic instead, no special objects needed
