Jasmine Holiday?

I don't mind the temporary skill boosts, I just wish you didn't need Jasmine to take advantage of it---I wish Sims just gained a 20% (or whatever) skill boost, automatically, from the time you loaded the game on Day 1 until the time limit was up. If that makes sense.

other than her standing on the outskirts of every zone like a stalker, I don't really mind :o

Just ignore her. She poses no threat to gameplay. Besides, the game is played by a lot of kids, so it has to be at Pokemon Go level sometimes :D

True. "OOoh Special Event!!"
It's all the fault of the Mobile generation.

It is weird how she seems to invade some players' games. If I don't call her - which I rarely do - I usually don't see Jasmine Holiday at all during the boost weeks. I feel like she might hang out in the basegame worlds? Anyway, this time I probably will use the Photography skill boost, because I like the skill for some of my Sims but don't use cheats. Jasmine is like an official cheat.

Maybe I should have one my my sims buy a camera. Taking pictures in the jungle...

I don't find her or the event annoying. People asked for options, so they gave us the option to either call her to get one of the boosts or not call her and ignore the event.

I find Charisma and Writing to be two of the most tedious skills to level up. With this event, I have my would-be authors leveling the Writing skill fast while they're writing books. Most of the books, even the early ones they write, are excellent quality which is a nice bonus.

I have two vampires working on the Freelance Botanist aspiration so they can get the fireproof trait when they complete it. In my game, vampires have the tendency to set either themselves or their kitchen on fire. Even roasting marshmallows, which they can't eat, is hazardous to their health.

Jasmine does not hang around on the home lots. Once my Sim gets the boost, she stays for not even a minute and then leaves.

I hope these events continue.

I’m just glad that charisma isn’t as annoying where in TS3 it forced you to have a certain amount of friends to level it up. It’s easier in TS4 just it’s always a drag. But I do have to agree, when I first heard of bonus xp events, the first thought in my mind was this isn’t a RPG. I was interested in the event with the skulls but even then it was strange to have because of the limited time.

Sims 3 was better than Sims 2:
Sims 2, AFAIR, both had the requirement to have high carisma to HAVE a lot of friends, demanded a lot of friends to get promotions AND had the friendship bar decrease VERY fast unless you bugged them on the phone every second day or so.

I remember when she used to stand just outside of YOUR DOOR! :scream:

(Well, technically, the sidewalk just outside of your home lot, but STILL...!)

What was creepier was when your game started making clones of her!
