Sims 3 learning new inventions

Remember up above, Pete could have sold his rare seed? Pretty much anything you find or create can be sold there. Pete presently gets to Level 6 of Inventing, which brings up what is arguably the greatest object interaction in the history of the Sims franchise. Remember the stereo Pete rescued from the junkyard? As great as the stereo was, Pete decides to use it for this….

He needs a fresh set. Almost any object, regardless of material, can be blown the heck up. The cost of the C4 block scales to the size of the object. There is a point to this: did you notice in that screenshot up there that there were a few piles of metal on the carpet?

Blowing an object up allows you to get some scrap metal, and the bigger the object is and the more C4 it takes , the more scrap comes off it. Pete makes a fairly useful invention soon, called the Floor Hygienator. This device, when placed on the floor, starts to restore the Hygiene meter of anyone who walks on it. This is very useful for gardeners, or even in your workout room. According to the message center, Pete finds some underground catacombs down there, and starts to explore the place.

Hm… maybe I was just unlucky? But onto some fun. Pete takes out his almost-final invention: a time machine! He places it on the roof of the rear tower, and examines it…. Pete can choose whether to go back to the past or visit the future. I flipped a coin, and… past, it is! Pete heads into the machine, and stays there for awhile.

His progress is reported through the message center, similar to how he was exploring the giant gaping hole in the front yard.

Eventually he comes back with a maxed out Fun meter and a four-hour debuff that stops him from time traveling again soon. There are prizes to be had though. The next morning, Pete is recovered, and he heads to the future. After the trip… hm, no joy this time either. See, the real fun with the time machine is, after enough trips and with some luck and probably modified based on whether you have the Lucky or Unlucky trait , your Sim may come home with a visitor.

There are stories in other neighborhoods where a trip to the future produces a girl who claims to be the daughter of the Sim who makes the trip. Kinda creepy, huh? Now that Pete is up to Level 10 in Inventing, he works diligently for quite a couple weeks until he gets a phone call. Sims are only able to invent something with The Sims 3: Ambitions expansion pack installed for their game.

This not only brings the new inventor profession, but also allows all Sims to invent toys, widgets, a gnome, and some very cool big inventions. This can be found at the new Junkyard, or your Sim can purchase it right from their new Scraptastic Workbench. Sims need to be careful when inventing though because they will sometimes electrocute themselves, or even catch on fire in The Sims 3 and have to jump into the pool!
