Inspired but Not Inspired?

Post by cakewench »

I looked around to see if this came up in another thread - apologies if I missed it.

Since I updated my game, I've started having an issue with one of my Sims - she is moving around like her bars are all low, but they are all completely filled. She's an adult, less than 1/4 green on the life cycle meter so far. Glitch, or am I missing something?

Obviously not super critical, just curious. My jury is still out on how I feel about the update. Some aspects of it I like, but some I'm not so sure...

Is the last bar red? It means she's grieving for the Sim who died. She needs to reminisce with another Sim, and then you can fill her up again.

If the last bar is completely green too, I'm not sure what to tell you.

Yeah, mine are depressed. Needs are met, but not inspired.
I assume it's a mourning period for them.

Thanks - I saw that on one of Perturbee's threads on Facebook. All bars were green, but she was still depressed. She did the "reminisce" action and is now totally fine. Didn't realize they would mourn friends, thought it was just family/household.

I was getting the option on Sims who weren't added until after my Sim had already died. They were mourning someone they'd never met! I guess it comes up for all Sims in town, whether related or not.

Since the preteen can't reminisce and is still depressed, XP for everything is lower. Awesome.

It seems only adults and senior have the reminisce and grieve option.
Preteens don't have it, toddlers I'm not sure about. I think not.
I think the only work around is to wait for 12h and then things should be back to normal and you can inspire your sims the normal way.

You need to do both grief and reminiscence for pre-teens, teens, adults and seniors to behave normal again.

Edit: I've tested this with a depressed preteen with her mother just now and both were walking away normally after doing those two actions. You might need to bring in another adult for the mother.

I just finished the quest. I had to do both grief and reminiscence AND refill their fun bar. Some of them the singing fish worked, but with the recharge on it, some had to do a longer type of fun activity. Checking email did not fill the bar.
