Mysterious satisfaction point

I am very sure they are satisfactions points. Influence points are given at the rate of like 4. I get satisfaction points of 400 or 240 randomly ...

Oooh, I see. I thought you meant a few at a time, like two or four. In that case I don't know but I'll keep an eye on my game and see if it happens.

I think the Sims is experiencing "popup failure." I'll get popups like, achievement awards for playing sims for 5 hrs straight...whut? And I'll just have turned the game on. There are a lot of popups that do not make any sense for what I'm doing at the time, so I mark it up to one of the many that occur during my game that aren't problems for me. Just a little annoying.

Hi, the same thing is happening to me!!

I first started noticing it when one of my sims was fishing and he started getting satisfaction points for catching fish even tho he didn't have the fishing aspiration or any fishing-related whims. At first, I decided to just ignore them but ironically it's become annoying because it's made the game too easy for me. My sims have like 16k satisfaction points each and I barely had to put in any effort I don't even know what rewards to buy them anymore! I don't like to give them things like "Never Weary" or stuff like that to make their needs decay slower, it's just not how I like to play, so I am running out of rewards to purchase pretty quickly :| And honestly? It's not very fun to get things so easily.

You could just keep buying tons of potions. Maybe?

Honestly I don't know what would be causing that massive satisfaction points gain though. Without cheating any in, I really have to work at it to gain satisfaction points.

However, if you don't want to fill them up with all the reward traits, (which I completely understand as I don't like to either) then I wouldn't worry about it. Personally I like going for achieving aspirations more that worrying about the 'points' anyways. ;)

I use a mod to make rewards more expensive.

Just like you said on the original post up there I have some Aspiration Mods so I'm gonna try taking those out to see if that fixes the issue. Otherwise, I guess I might look into a mod to make the rewards more expensive if that doesn't fix the issue. Or I guess even if it does since I'd rather keep my cc aspirations, I've done the ones that come with the game too many times already.

I can’t play without cc aspirations honestly they are so good. Gold digger aspiration is so fun.
