Tips on focus?

[Seabody]

I can't remember the name of the quest, but I was doing the quest where your wizard develops an essence of life, and found that to go into the forest to "Do Secret Experiment" requires a lot of focus. I resorted to cheating as focus kept dropping while travelling from the tower to the forest.

Does anybody have any tips on gaining focus?

For me at least, it's really no different than Sims 3 in that I approach focus looking for the "big 3" ... Well Rested, a good meal buff, and then a fun buff on top of that. So, try and get those all close together (wake up in a good bed, then eat, then fun) and your Wizard's Focus should be capped.

Also, after completing daily responsibilities your sim will get a 'job well done' buff.
You can cast some spells on yourself, like flare, clairvoyance, and, if you have it, beacon of hope
Gussy up in the mirror before you go
Research for an hour gives you a nice buff too
If you have the physician, just next door to your wizard, get first aid is a fast interaction for a quick buff (can't remember if it's long lasting enough though)
Collect herbs and minerals just before you go into the forest for a buff on both of those aswell.
