Resources?

[Chezza]

Just got a pearl, first one for 2 weeks! ...still no sign of any magma :-\

I agree, my Sims need recharging much more quickly now

I wanna un-build! That turtle shall remain headless forever!

Not only do my Sims need recharging more often, despite being at (46%%-bliss)...I also noted that although I am at (250xp-flame) my XP level doesn't move any higher. I've been watching it and it takes way MORE Xp to gain % than before.

I do understand that as we level up that it requires more XP per % but I've completed one full day of hobbies with 25 sims and never gained one % despite earning bonuses with almost every action. That's just not right. I'm at Level 44.

I am also being shortchanged on TV when building. My TV is not adding up. I won't be wasting time on sending a support request because I've been following the forums and help desk posts and noticed that there is little to no support or help responses.

I did some rough math on this. I'm at level 46 and when 19 of my sims plant the hamburger (2788xp), plus around 6 to 8 flame of wisdom bonus of 575XP each (my flame monument is maxed out) the xp progress bar move 2%. That's about 57000XP for a 2% progress. The higher levels are slow painful progress.

So when you say you complete a full day of hobbies, do you mean you choose the 1 day option (900xp) or did you mean you did the hobbies in 4 minute blocks for a full day? ( )

My 25 sims are all at their top levels in work and hobbies. (4 min. Intervals). (Woodworking 7 sims..fashion designing 8 sims...ghost hunting 4 sims...ice skating 3 sims...diving 2 sims...1 toddler.)

So you are doing 4 minutes block for a whole day? That's amazing.

That is an amazingly patient attention span and endurance. Approaching Zen level I think. I could never get past much more than 5 minutes spraying a toilet and about half an hour to an hour circulating between three hobbies at four minute intervals. Yeah. An hour max and I've moved on. Gah!! It's just not fun to me and why play the game if it's not fun. But, on topic, it does seem to take forEVER to gain that XP and my TV has not increased at the rate it should since about two updates ago. But this last update, for me at least, has been the buggiest ever. Sooooooo many glitches. And my game has never been glitch prone.

I actually spend about the same when I'm not working (several hours worth of 4 min intervals).
I have 24 sims: 6 figure skaters (4 adults and 2 teens), 4 woodworkers, 4 ghost hunters, 4 divers (one is a preteen), 1 fashion designer, 1 fishersim, 3 toddlers, and 1 baby. And I only use 4 stops at most in my rotation.

Here's my plan:
House 1: 6 figure skaters, 3 toddlers, and the baby.
House 2: 4 divers, 4 woodworkers, 1 fashion designer
House 3: 4 ghost hunters
Town Park: One fishersim
After going through each of the 4 stops, I go into town and collect rents. Sometimes I'm fast enough that I have to wait on them.

That's simazing! I don't have that kind of discipline. But....I just spent 25 minutes changing clothes at a High level neighbor and gained 3 % towards leveling and 14 resources 2 of which were wind! Best resources I've gotten in a long time and yesterday I got magma from fashion design. Maybe they're letting loose a few more resources lately??

[babhiemiao29]

SIMazing!! You and I are definitely soulmates on this routine!

I too have 4 FD, 4 GH, 4WW, 1 ice skater and 1 fisherman.

the FD and WW are found in one house and I go into 4 rotations per 4 minute interval~

This is the reason why I dont do the forget and do-over style when it comes to hobbies. I already have a rhythm that I follow and so far had rewarded me with more sms, lp and xp altogether!

Can I quote you in a thread I made? since basically we have the same gameplay strategy? (*kitty eyes*)
