It’s All About Balance
Living in tune with nature is more than playing in dirt and hugging trees; it means respecting the natural world, and promoting a balanced coexistence. Living in Innisgreen, Sims must become emotionally grounded and find that balance, or welcome the chaos.
When Sims start to lose their balance and become imbalanced, life can get a little harder to navigate. For example, one may acquire new skills at a slower rate or their everyday needs may become harder to solve; and if a Sim enters the very imbalanced territory, that’s when Ailments start to show up, like the Greenie Meanie. With this Ailment, Sims will learn and complete Gardening tasks faster than normal-yay! But, they’re constantly angry and prone to outbursts that are off-putting to other nearby Sims–eek! And that’s just one of many; there’s Emotional Void, Simoleon Fever, and Sonic Sinuses, to name a few.
But imbalance isn’t the end; it’s simply the beginning of a new journey.
Ailments can vanish and moods can improve with cures and elixirs crafted from the new Apothecary Table. With special ingredients like the Lightning Root and Aura Blossom found while gardening and foraging, Sims can follow intricate recipes for treatments with fantastical effects. And with the right amount of practice, one can take on the Elixir Enthusiast Aspiration or become a Naturopath, a new profession that serves to cure fellow Sims of their curious Ailments.
Achieving balance, however, may require a little luck. Sims living in Innisgreen may experience good, ordinary or bad luck, which in turn may affect their career, love life, cooking, foraging and other interactions or tasks. Luckily for you, there are two luck charms that can be found, purchased or made (at the Apothecary Table), which will modify your Sim’s luck, for good or bad.
Now you have to ask yourself, will your Sim seek balance, or will they embrace the chaos of an unbalanced life in nature?
