Positivity Challenge is a little wonky...

> Yeah, I've since discovered that telling a funny story also counts as a good deed, but it's still weird how few options we have there. 90% of all available social interactions in this game are positive, yet we can only use, like, 2% of those to contribute to the Positivity Challenge? :| Strange. And as for being helpful, well, in real life I would be much more grateful if someone cleaned my house rather than just taking the trash out, but I recently noticed that some of those weirdos actually enjoy cleaning, so... whatever.

Lol. I know! Lucas Munch and Marcus Flex always seem to like to do my laundry and take out the trash.

While I seem to have the right Challenge Coordinator I never got a box (yes I looked into the household inventory) and can't talk about rewards either even though I finished the aspiration. I have no mods or cc of any kind.

So I have completed this challenge twice now but nothing seems to happen when you "challenge" another sim yet?

My box was left at the front door. Have you searched outside for the box?

LOL! That's pretty funny!

bit late to the party here (yay w*rk), but the info i've discovered so far, with pictures! (i'm fond of picture walkthroughs)

first off, my 'main' household that i always test things with already has all existing reward traits and such, so the second step was... annoying at first, because of 'incredibly friendly'. what i wound up doing was having them give the mean greeting to sims at first, which got them into the slightly red portion of 'acquaintances', so they were able to keep sims there long enough to get credit for the '5 good deeds with acquaintances' step

first off, i did get millie bobby brown as my coordinator:

second off, the reward box is given to every single sim in a household that starts the event, even though they can all use the same one to collect rewards:

i'm going to be using the simray to transform these extras into things that sell decently...even though the family doesn't need the money

third off, so far i've seen two interactions that count for 'good deeds'. one is friendly, only occurs if in a happy mood, 'brighten day'. this is, of course, the one mentioned in the decriptions of the event
https://i.gyazo.com/f5dd8be20d1fd8f583c376b133573387.png

the second interaction is under the funny category, 'tell funny story':

haven't yet completed the ambition, but seems easy once you realize these things (it hasn't even been 12 sim hours since i started and already on the third step

editing to add: yes, as you complete each step you can collect one poster from the piles of boxes. these posters look to not need unlocking in buy mode, but doing the challenge saves you from spending nearly $1k per poster

Another trait that causes challenges is the loner trait. I had a constantly tense sim when I tested it out.
Also it took me three tries to get it started. The first time I got distracted playing with first person camera and didn't see if anyone showed up. The second time, Millie Bobby Brown ran off to use the treadmill in the back yard and was leaving by the time I figured out where she was.

Ie completed all 4 tiers but it still shows I only completed 3/4 even though it says aspiration completed. Didnt get the 4th reward or the trait


Wait I figured it out I had to invite her over ask about the challenge again then it let me collect my reward from the box then I had to talk to her again to collect my reward which is the trait

I also called the Event Coordinator, and Jasmine Holiday (instead of Millie) showed up. I had removed mods, deleted localthumbnails, but still get Jasmine. Whne she issues the challenge, I do get the gift boxes. But when I got to select the aspiration, its nowhere to be found. I checked the walkthru at Sims Community that was linked and the challenge aspiration category doesnt seem to exist in my game. :-( Any ideas anyone?

LOL at everyone who still gets Jasmine Holiday. XD

She will live on forever and be the death of our sims. :scream:

I had Jasmine too. She showed up in winter clothes as it was winter in my game. For some odd reason Father Winter took the pack of gifts I got from Jasmine for the challenge after I had my Sim give him a present from under her tree - he took it and then did not seem to like what was in it. Then suddenly the challenge packages disappeared and he also disappeared in a whisp of smoke.

Maybe I should not have started the challenge on the Christmas Holiday.

I did call back Jasmine - but she did not leave any more gifts. Weird.

I will go back in later - maybe the gifts will be there then.

Keep the reward boxes you can gift them to other sims after the challenge they should still give rewards after the challenge is over.
To discover the challenge asperation you must accept the challenge from either event coordinator.

Good deeds count social a few, but brighten day will only show up if that sim is in another emotion besides happy. Tell funny story shows up at least 90% of the time. You can use the satellite dish to make your sim happy, angry 3 times, it won't affect the one that calls the dish just take turns. Also any dirty dishes have sims names on them so if you pick up a pile of dirty dishes and wash them it will count the bigger the pile the faster the count goes up. I had a birthday party for my Teen sim William, they ate birthday cake and she was at Asperation level 2 that she completed at the Birthday party, she got the reward and on to 3 I thought it would be hard for her to caught up, but after eating cake from the party she was washing dishes after everyone and than I realized she completed the third tier automatically by washing dishes. Now I am going to go to a busy park and pick up plates of food for the last one. Oh yeah I did get my reward from completing the 3rd tier. However, I think you can only discover the hidden event asperation during the challenge, but I think the asperation and challenge will work after the event, so I would hang on to the gift boxes, because they are the only things that give out posters, and may work after the event. I also think the challenge thing is meant to work after the event is over, maybe the ones that complete it will become event coordinators for other sims that haven't completed it yet and maybe sims may get a moodlet buff for being around them.
