What is the point of the "challenge to be kind" option?

I finished the challenge but haven't really played much since I finished (US Thanksgiving and all that) so I'm not sure if Sims get an extra moodlet or maybe some extra interactions or boost to making friends.

I think when I get off work tonight I'll try it on a random sim and see if the friendship increases more. I tried it on my sims husband, father and a friend of hers and got nothing.

Just spreading some positive nothing more and nothing less really. Emotional aura with certain ones and a positive moodlet. Posters remind me of what I see at work in the hallway with motivational posters.

The posters themselves are actually worth $940 simoleons EACH, which my poor sim used very nicely and needed. So, hey if your sim needs some money good chunk of change.

On another note, I noticed they added the autonomous telekinesis thing with Millie Bobby which I thought was amusing with a nod to Stranger things.

It's just a social interaction. It doesn't do anything special. The rest of the rewards from the event are quite powerful though, particularly the trait.

Since I've already done it with two Sims, I might go ahead and cheat the trait to appropriate Sims (for example I think Geoffrey Landgraab would deserve it but NOT Nancy or Malcolm), especially the premades I don't plan on actively playing. I'll be tweaking traits on premades (adding Parenthood traits mostly) once I finish all the makeovers. :)

And see I really like the posters! I was happy to put them around the house, however, I just couldn't see what the big deal was to the action. I didn't play long after as I went to bed the other night but I'm going to see what buff the trait gives my sim in the end..

I've done it on a few sims now, and something I noticed is that when you first call her over to start the challenge, she always digs in your trash and leaves a pile on your lot. After you're done, you can challenge her to be kind, and she will take out the trash for you (if you have any on the lot). I thought that was cute. Maybe that's what it's supposed to do, that's all I seem to have noticed so far.

Well, I tried it again and got nothing that I could tell - several times in a row on different sims. So the other thing I thought I got, must have been a fluke of some kind. Now I don't know what it's supposed to do either.

The game is so ridiculously happy all the time, what's the point of a positivity challenge? Yawn...

I would have much preferred a "negativity" challenge. Make your sims be as mean as possible, get in fights, insult each other, and earn dangerous weapons to torture your sims. Now that would be fun :D ;)

Thats what I thought too... I went back in my game and tried it on random sims and it does nothing so... oh well I guess
