After playing for years you suspect that charisma actually doesn't affect anything outside of working carrers. Since it is very easy to romance others sims, I think it should be harder and charisma would increase the chance of success, but the game has plenty of detail, so I think it doesn't matters that much. Cheers for April Black, her videos are incredibly useful.

Your video about "debugging" and explaining The Sims 2 mechanic is always great and helps us a lot. Thanks so much. I hope one day you can also make an explanation video about roommates' mechanics. Bcs my roommates, every time he/she runs out of energy, instead of sleeping on the bed I provide, he/she choose to go errands, and magically fulfill their energy. And I'm curious, is this kind of specific "trait", or what? I remember seeing someone tell me that their roommate normally goes to bed every time they run out of energy.

Few general mechanics tests that I did on my own: -Skills take linearily more to learn. Learning from skill 0 to skill 1 takes roughly an hour (from book), going from skill 1 to skill 2 takes two hours etc., meaning that getting from 0-8 skill takes as long as going from skill 8 to skill 10. My exact experimental values were: 1h, 1h50m, 2h20m, 3h, 3h50m, 5h, 6h15m, 8h5m, 10h40m, 13h, with a total of 0-10 lasting 55h (The best way to test it is to use the cheat that lets you drag your sims needs and start learning skill unaffected by personality from the book starting at exactly 12:00 and dragging sim skills up as they go down) -Super Bookshelf (Teaching Carrer reward) ~doubles the learning rate, and Thinking Cap ~doubles it again, in practice increasing learning by 500% when used together, meaning you can go from 0 to 10 in about 11 hours. -Lifelong Happienes on the other hand always takes ~6h to learn no matter if Thinking Cap is used or not. -TV with "10 Fun" actually increases fun 2x faster than TV with "5 Fun". -The AI preference which one to use seem to be mostly based on distance (ignoring walls, and higher floors counted an extra added fixed distance of like 10 - I don't fully remember the specifics). -Beds have huge impact on the duration of the sleep. To me it seems that the sim is still "getting tired" even while sleeping, making the bed with 6 energy over twice as good as bed with 3 energy (cutting required sleep in half). Time required to get full energy at different beds: 2 energy bed: 8h10m 3 energy bed: 7h10m 4 energy bed: 6h30m 5 energy bed: 6h20m 6 energy bed: 5h50m, 5h45m 7 energy bed: 5h25m 8 energy bed: 5h 2 energy (nap on chair): 12h+ coffin 4h30m? 4h50? nap-on-chair experiment had to be stopped because the sim seemed to be close to dying of hunger while sleeping lol

@MajkaSrajka6 ай бұрын
@@Marticore There could be a linear formula with a base (1h, 1h20, 1h40 etc.) or even an exponential one. Game maths are often overengineered, and the bedmath just made me notice how top quality bed has a bigger effect on quality of life of a sim than $100.000 mansion, and how my sims going to the university like to put double-person bed to their tiny rooms because they are the only ones with max energy. For total meme efficency you can put the toilet and a shower to their room too 🤣 idiosyncrasies of the sims are just plain fun to me, and "the bed so good you have to sleep only half the time" for sure sounds like one to me lol As well as reclining chair you can sleep on being a deathly trap, where if AI were to pick it to sleep in at low energy need - (not sure if that ever can happen) it being a death trap where they will sleep till they die lol
@leslie21496 ай бұрын
Great video. Now I know at least two things I didn't know before! I remember having one sim that had decent mechanical skill (at least 5 or 6) but would always stab things when "fixing" them. Therefore when she would fix the TV or the computer she tended to get shocked and then set the thing on fire. I think she was more of a mean sim so that's why she stabbed everything. thankfully she never died from it. Of all the skill I feel charisma is the most useless. Especially when running the Headmaster scenario, with a particularly grumpy headmaster. No matter how good my sims charisma is they always fail at shmoozing with him. Always! Wow, none of my sims have ever sold a painting for over a thousand! Now I'm going to have to see if I can make that happen. And I never knew two sims could use the same mirror to gain skill either. Awesome! Even so another sim will walk into that room and shoo them out. Happens every time.

This is off-topic, but speaking of headmasters, I noticed an interesting quirk about them. I play custom hood with antiredundancy mod, so only one headmaster. But I noticed every time his personality is different (maybe interests too). I also can't check his personality with Cyjon debugger, which is probably related to it changing. I noticed the difference in SimPE. I think I saw it mentioned on MATY (or another forum) once, but not anywhere else.
@raapyna85447 ай бұрын
Some sims don't have a determined personality and it makes it randomize every time they're loaded. There was a mention of this on some of the corruption-related videos. Here it sounds intentional, that you can't strategise by knowing what the principle likes. Sims with similar interests and personalities get along better.

WHAT?! You can use mirror by 2 Sims at once?! Why did I learn about that 20 years after the game released?! I guess my brain was conditioned to think that because of Sims 1 About Cleaning, I'm not sure, but I recall years ago that my sloppy Sim who never cared about cleaning/dishes etc. started doing this stuff automatically after learning like 6-7 Cleaning points (thanks to Medical career). And Playful Sims are not stupid. They just have weaker attention span that makes calm game of chess less effective. Maybe it even translates to real life cases, I wouldn't be surprised knowning Sims 2. Oh, right. And that electrocution immunity during pregnancy is likely either a prevention of hunger killing pregnant Sims (considering how electrocution can lower needs) or a way to avoid myth that you could get Sparky life state if your pregnant Sim would get electrocuted (so baby would get superpowers 😉 ).
