Emotions and Actions!
« on: June 16, 2016, 01:58:25 AM »
My question is about completing actions that have to do with emotions. Here's my example: I have a kitchen with postcards that give off inspired Auras when I enter the room. IF I am outside of the room and in a regular mood, THEN I click on the fridge and "cook a meal" when the button is regular, I'll walk into the room then get "inspired", will it automatically become an inspired "cook a meal" or a regular "cook a meal". If you need clarification please tell me, I think I made it clear though!

Emotions and Actions!

Welcome to the forum.

You're asking will the change in mood effect the food or the action?  If you become inspired while in the room making the food, you will still receive the boost to the skill.  I'm not sure there is a difference in that instance in the eventual result.  But if you're in a playful mood and choose to make gummy bear pancakes,  that action won't stop if the environmental inspiration overrides your playfulness. 

Does that answer your question or help in any way?

I believe it will become an inspired "cook a meal" since your sim is inspired when the sim starts cooking a meal. I know it works this way with painting when you want to complete the aspiration milestone 'start three inspired paintings' you can click on starting a painting when your sim is outside that room with an inspired aura. As long as your sim is inspired when they start the actual interaction. It's probably the same with cooking. I hope this helps.

Most actions receive all their attributes, when the action is started. For instance, if your Sim is currently inspired, then your Sim will be able to make a Prose & Pop and complete it until it is finished, even if that Sim's mood changes. When you first begin to paint, as soon as the first stroke is laid, the painting will either be a masterpiece or not. Mood changes and circumstance changes while a Sim is performing the action do not typically affect the outcome. For example, if a happy Sim in another room repairs something in a room with focusing decor, it is a normal repair, even if the Sim becomes focused on the way there. If you quit the task and restart it, you will notice that it will turn into a purple focused repair.

Thanks to all for the replies! :) I believe I can stop clicking "go here" and waiting for a few seconds for the aura to kick in to make a meal. I'll just start cooking :D

Not all actions get a specific boost from a mood, but those that do usually get a color coded highlight, around the action. If you're cooking inspired, or painting inspired, the action icon will glow teal in the queue.
