what skills do you need to make flowers/toys/robots faster and better

Yeah. I know that you jut keep crafting what you want to craft, but how do you reach the next level faster. What points (e.i: skill, logic, creativity)



Yeah it takes fo' evah to reach bronze (like REALLY long) and i'd be real nice to SPPEEEDDDD it up.

Flower arranging - creativity. Robots/Toys - mechanical. But it only provides a slight boost to the speed. Crafting in autumn, if you have Seasons, is probably more effective.

Not sure how thurougly (I CANNOT friggin' SPELL tonight!) this has been tested, but things like interests and (if you have Freetime) hobbies probably play a part too. If your sim's hobby is tinkering, they're probably going to want to work on robots more, and will probably skill/earn badges faster. Granted, however, this is probably theory, I can't say this for certain.

However, a more "serious" sim will probably want to concentrate more, and will work harder on a robot that a "playful" sim, who will want to do other, "fun" things like play games or jump on the couch. Also, knowledge sims will most likely be more focused as well, because they're all about learning, and building is a learning experience. My knowledge sims always seemed the envious type in my games--if another sim cooked, for example, a trout, as soon as the knowledge sim took a bite, they'd roll the want to learn to cook trout, as if they were saying, "How DARE this person know something I do not! Steps MUST be taken to correct this!" :lol:

I've never tried it, but does the thinking cap thing in the aspiration rewards speed up the process any?

Not sure how thurougly (I CANNOT friggin' SPELL tonight!)

Google it. It's just an extra 10 seconds =)

Here's what I've since found out (badge-skill-personality accelerator)--

Robotics, toys--Mechanical--None
Gardening--Charisma--Outgoing
Flowers, pottery, and I think sewing--Creativity--Playful
Register--Logic--Serious
Restocking--Body--Active
Makeover--Cleaning--Neat

That's what I can think of off the top of my head. I'm not sure what skill helps with the Fishing talent badge.

And Orangeade (oranges and lemons) gives your Sim a point for a random badge (if you have Seasons).

I don't think that's true. It's possible that some sims would have more fun building robots, but all the crafting stuff is a lot of fun for every sim anyway. (Cashiering, restocking, cosmetology and sales are not fun, unfortunately.)

Hobby interest won't make your badges build faster, but again I think they make your sim have more fun in their activities, and they make your sim more likely to roll badge-related wants. Nature enthusiasm may make them want to get gardening and fishing badges, arts and crafts will make them want to be better at making pottery, flower bouquets, sewing projects and (I think) toys, tinkering enthusiasm will make them want to craft robots, and so on. If you have the correct EPs, they may also roll smaller wants like catching a largemouth bass, harvesting fresh produce, or finishing a piece of pottery or sewing project. Enthusiasm makes that more likely too. But it doesn't help with getting the badges themselves.

That's what I can think of off the top of my head. I'm not sure what skill helps with the Fishing talent badge.Those personality accelerators only help indirectly, though, by making the required skill build faster. A sim with 10 creativity points and 0 playful will gain flower arranging badges just as fast as a sim with 10 creativity points and 10 playful. A sim with 10 points in the correlated skill will build the badge twice as fast as one with 0 points.

I think Fishing is Mechanical.

Use the sims 2 book of talent XD
