Extra information for inventing guide.
« on: September 18, 2010, 07:18:55 AM »
Just made an inventor, and since I'm on it, it won't hurt to also help with the guide, so I hit the inventor career as long as my Sim got her inventing skill. Lurked around the forum and none post yet, I hope I was right.
Inventor Career Promotion Bonus :
Level 5 - Experienced Inovator : 500$

Level 9 - Robotic Dealer : 2500$ (Pic)

(without Entreprenuerial Mindset Lifetime Reward)

Extra information you may want to include : Maxing Floor Hygienator's potential
It took me hours to figure how the hygienator works. ;D Laugh away. Writing this so no one will waste their time figuring out how to use it.
Put three hygienators with each different scent set :
- Shower Fresh Unscented : Minty Breath (+5 for 4 hours)
- Scientific Refresher : Fascinated (+10 for 15 mins)
- Happy Day Pouttori : Tranquil (+10 for 15 mins)
... just beside your bed, or in front of your easel, or below your computer chair. Your Sim will be getting a total of +25 moodlet while doing their activity or sleeping, since the hygienator shots their smokes each 5 sim minutes when your Sim stand on it. Tried, mostly works. But sometimes I only get the tranquil moodlet with three put on. I haven't figured out why.
For the Shower Fresh Unscented-set Hygienator, you would want to put it in front of your door, just before you go work.
Better use the one Master Inventor made, no bad moodlet.
Reference putting the hygienator :

(I'm new on the forum, just started lurking here few days ago - how to use spoiler? You're allowed to laugh of course. ;D)
Oh, and don't kill me if I did mistakes.

Welcome to the forum Oathbear!!  Fantastic job of collecting that information on the inventor skill!  I will be certain to have Carl take a look and see if he wants to add it to the Guide.  Once again, welcome to the forum.

I also noticed something with detonating (coming from the inventing skill), I am not sure if it was a bug or it was supposed to happen.  But I had purchased the LTR "No Bills Ever", blew up the airplane statue at the military base in SV and was told I would get a fine for 67,000+.  My monies were never reduced and I never received a "bill" or a fine.  It was my first time ever playing an inventor so I am not sure what is supposed to happen.  If you blow things up and you get the fine in the mail or not.  I could not find anything on the guide or in the forum that addressed that.

@gerr : I never tried detonating, am too coward to think that my Sim might catch on fire, despite I put her to be Daredevil.  ;D
@wildredchild : Thanks :)
@Carl : Thanks, and oh yeah, maybe you wanna put that occasionally when you're making inventions, your Sim will create the magic gnome instead. It kinda bugs me.

I detonated a lot of things.  I think it is a lot of fun. I never did catch on fire, just singed.  The first time the explosive didn't go off right away and my sim walked up to it, I was so scared!  But nothing happened, except having all his clothes burned off, being sooty, and having crazy hair.  He got singed a lot.  But never caught fire or visited by Grim.  I have caught fire quite a few times while inventing.  I learned to make sure I have the workbench near a bathroom so I can quickly put out the fire.

Thanks, but sometimes I couldn't get the complete moodlet I thought I'll be getting. This Floor Hygienator is weird allright.
And another weird, now I had the "New Car Smell" moodlet instead of "Fascinated" moodlet. Weird you, Floor Hygienator.  ;D I'll post screenshot when I have time.

The Floor Hygienators are random.  You can't pick what type of moodlet you get from it.
