How to maximize energy replenishment from home items

This is really useful information, and the way it's presented makes it easy to understand. Thanks so much for sharing this with the community, @SalixCat!

Thanks so much for posting this! 

I wish I had this list when I was just started to play SM !

I wouldn’t have duplicates of nightstands, dressers, end tables, lamps, towel bars. mirrors, robes etc. cluttering up my storage inventory.  Not to mention, the simoleans & sim cash that was so hard to come by  especially when starting out 🙄

Yes, I agree. We didn't know better 😉

@SalixCat Have been playing for quite some time but I just upgraded the energy of my bed an additional whopping +1 because of this super helpful guide. LOL

Seriously, my bathroom also got an upgrade to get maximum energy for my shower. Still, thinking if I really need to buy a bathtub for additional energy replenishment coz I'm saving up my simcash for surgeon career or piano hobby. #SimcashPoorSimmer

That's great @dissenterjasmine :eahigh_file:

There are several choices and it all depends on how you want to play. Using the bathtub will save you 15 to 20 energy points with a cooldown of 1 d 21 h. That can be helpful while trying to finish event quests, earning more simoleons and leveling up. You will save some cupcakes, which are difficult to get unless you buy them. 

On the other hand, a new career or hobby are important. You will level up as a player, get to host better parties where guests will have more things to do, and also level up your lifestyle while you get new career and hobby items. 

Oh, there's something else. Bathroom item offers pop up sometimes, and one of these offers can be a good opportunity to get a bathtub 🙂

@SalixCat I've decided to hold out a little longer! Wanna complete all the careers & hobbies. I have all 4 sims playable so I actually finish tasks easier nowadays :-)

Thanks for posting my chart. 🤗 I’m glad you and others found it helpful.

Hi

Thanks for making such a usefull chart! Really helpful!

I just bought a «fancy abbey alarm clock» and it didn’t give me 2 more energy from beds. I currently have +21 from beds. Confused...

Btw: getting 150 party points from playing basket ball made it so much easier to contribute in my friends parties (you get 75 points when you start playing, and 75 point when you finish). Love it! And it’s also very helpful when having your own party because you get 75 point over and over again. So if your friends haven’t filled you up, you can quickly do it yourself. Great!

@SalixCat 

It has been said already but I have to say it again: this is one of the most helpful post I have seen on Game Information. I wish I could give you 100 XP.

I updated my Maximum Home Energy Recharge Chart to reflect some changes since I made it. I also want to include some notes and commentary in this post 🙂

• The Valentine's Day pack included a Sweethearts' Canopy Bed, which did not include a boost of +3 energy at the time of the pack offer, nor in the immediate weeks that followed, but surprisingly appeared for the bed long after the pack offer became unavailable to players. 😞 Maybe it was because I tweeted SimGuruFrost about it, or maybe it was always meant to be there. Either way, I felt that it was sneaky that it suddenly appeared without any update to the players or later opportunity to get the pack.
• Text was originally omitted from the Spawesome Toilet and Spawesome Misting Shower indicating that either of these items included an energy boost. The recent update from Firemonkey has added text to these item descriptions reflecting the boosts they always had. :eahigh_file:
• A recent pack, the Tranquil Timber Bathroom Pack, included FOUR items that have an energy boost! :eahigh_file:
   

I'm disappointed that the recent Gothic furniture pack, particularly the bed, did not include any energy boosts. Overall, I'm very disappointed that TSM now has THIRTEEN bed options, but only TWO (plus one from a Valentine's Day pack that is long gone) that have a +3 energy boost. Players want items that replenish their sims' energy to the max, especially during events! I desperately hope that the Gothic bed eventually adds an additional +3

energy for players, much like how the Sweethearts' Canopy Bed later had it added.

I believe that players are more apt to purchase packs with SimCash and/or real money if they include attractive furniture with energy boosts to help give them that extra edge. I know I am!

Edit: accidentally typed +2 for the Gothic

bed complaint and meant +3
