There's a cooldown, I don't remember how many hours. But you can have a good relationship with only one Sim, and just keep asking them every time the cooldown is over.
If there's no one living with your Sim, you can always ask someone to spend the night or something.
I've noticed this as I'm on the last leg and need like 8 more votes - that if I wait.. I can try again.. but I dunno how the debate from the left/right works - because it seems like a 50/50 gamble that you'll get it right - ThatMermaid956 years agoNew Spectator

Make sure your sim is in a good mood, I like to make sure my politician sim is feeling confident. I'll generally do one or two of the other political discussion options first. Something about talk about/hype issues? Can't recall off hand, but do that one first, and if it goes through and the other sim reacts positively to that, then I'll try to secure the vote. But if that first one fails, then I don't try to get the vote right then, because it absolutely won't work.
I've never been super great friends with any sims first. I just make sure my sim is in a good mood and ask one or two other political career-related questions first to gauge my changes of success.
I've begun to start off with general chat and interactions.. then get everyone in a pleasant conversation - promote some policies, maybe make some false promises and if they go down well try and secure the vote - but seems to be better relations are more successful (need to try with a sim I don't really know) - N0NoTToN0N6 years agoSeasoned AceLuckily the total number of secured votes needed for promotion builds on itself so you really only need to worry about the daily tasks.
If you play a single sim and don't have time to go out into the world you can invite a couple of good acquaintances or friends over and build your social while securing votes.
If you play with aspirations and save up enough points, the trait that boosts starting relationships makes it super easy to make friends, which is definitely helpful in the political career ?.
Also focus on your building charisma skill. I found the most efficient way for me was through social interactions that have the "boost charisma" icon (flattery, compliments, etc... they have a sunglasses icon). It builds relationships, charisma skill and fills social needs all in one shot.
The thing is, your charisma will build faster when your social need is low and using the same interaction repeatedly will make it less effective. - ThatMermaid956 years agoNew Spectator

what do you mean that the votes build themselves? I haven't noticed anything like that.. - N0NoTToN0N6 years agoSeasoned Ace

Sorry, said that wrong... not builds on itself. I just mean that with each promotion it doesn't wipe your promotion task vote count clean. So if you get extra votes early on they'll count towards your next promotion task quota. I guess it's really not necessary though if you keep up with ther daily tasks or work from home assignments you should be getting plenty of votes to fill the promotion quotas. - ThatMermaid956 years agoNew Spectator

ohhhhhh, I get you!!
-super blonde-
yeah, that makes sense, I managed to get most promotions and that early because he maxed out charisma pretty early on (perks of the NSB challenge I guess) - I have proper struggled with getting some votes and its annoying me :# purely because I have the tick for a promotion and it's the only thing I need to reach level 10 - N0NoTToN0N6 years agoSeasoned AceIt seems I have a harder time if they end up in a group conversation for some reason. They seem more successful with one on one conversations. I hate group conversations though, everything always seems to get derailed.

I know what you mean... they end up offending someone with something - or I've found certain interactions don't come up or work in a group conversation such as like the romantic ones tend to miss more - Ok Tami Lasagne, whatever that is supposed to mean? Don’t think sims have actual party lines, but whatever, way to politicize it and contribute nothing to the actual post. @PastelMermaid, Raise your friend bar, like suggested; but the best way would be getting the aspiration/trait “incredibly friendly” with the points, then introducing yourself to every sim you get in contact with.
- I have not played the political career in Sims 4 - but I did sort of like the Sims 3 version (in the beginning anyway) where we gave speeches and collected contributions and had rallies. I have no idea if you can do any of those in the Sims 4 version though.
I will be honest and say half way through the Sims 3 version I got a bit bored with it though and ended up dropping that Sim in my rotation.
