Emotional Whims: What are they?
« on: November 03, 2014, 02:03:13 PM »
Reading about the new Dynasty Challenge got me thinking about emotional whims. Until now, I'd pretty much ignored them because they come and go so quickly with my sims, mostly because my home is FILLED with emotional aura items.

So, what are these whims? I made a list. Feel free to help me fill in the areas where I'm lacking right now.

I just had my Sim be 'Bored'. She wanted to 'Suggest Fun Activities to Someone'.  :)

"Watch the Fireplace Channel (not sure if this is a real channel or a bug in the game)"

You get access to this channel when you upgrade a more expensive TV once your sim has a high enough skill level. It's strangely captivating to watch!!

I can say that it isn't based only on your TV, as I have the super-tv from the Tech Guru field and it doesn't have the option.  It must be linked to a skill, I wonder which one.

I experimented with it last night. It doesn't work on the TV unlocked by the tech guru career. It does work on the next most expensive TV.

That sounds like an unintended bug to me.  Quickly, to the bug report forum!

You have to be high level, I THINK level 7, in handiness to get the option at all and have the right parts in your backpack.  You also have to have a high value tv but not the one you unlock.
What?  Grannies can't play games?
I speak perfect Nooblik, (and some Simlish)!

The bored emotion also has the whim "Take a nap". I guess when you're that bored you may as well sleep!
