FT and super fertility

geekgirl:
It also cures disease, so it's useful if your sets of twins all decide to bring home the flu from school and cough on you.

Hell, try level one. Comfort soup? The hell? Given that odds are they're going to sit down to eat it they're about to get themselves come 'comfort' anyway. It would only really impress me if it imparted comfort when you threw it onto a sim ("Ah! I am warm and soaking wet! But oddly comfortable..."). I just fail to see how it's much of a benefit item.
Well, the benefit for it is low, but it *DOES* exist: It cures the plague, which is the IMPORTANT part. I believe it will ALSO cure the morning sickness, since it is also implemented as the plague. More importantly, it's a level 1 perk. Does anyone seriously expect a level 1 item to be THAT good? The fact that it *DOES* produce a meaningful, tangible benefit is enough as it is! The level 2 perk, a motive-decay-reducer, well, they're not the most IMPORTANT motives, but you can never go wrong with that.

Level 3 and level 4, though....totally and utterly worthless. There are far better, more reliable, more controllable ways to achieve twins, and if you manage to get the SS to actually appear, you


Since the level 4 perk is what defines validity as a primary aspiration (LTWs and normal wants count equally for both primary and secondary without differentiation), and the Family level 3/4 perks are totally worthless, there is no reason to EVER choose it as a primary now. Especially since family primary ALSO gives that annoying screaming-by-mailbox-on-return-from-work thing!

I had the SS show up this week. I overestimated the amount of time she would let go by with children unattended in the house. There were three kids come back from school at 3PM and the first parent was to be back at 5PM.

J. M. Pescado:
And again, that does not make the perk useful, because if the SS shows up for THAT reason, you're NOT AROUND TO ACTUALLY USE IT. Still useless.

Liz:
Curing the plague? Well, hell yeah, that's a tangible benefit - especially if it also cures the pregyak. Still wanna see sims fling it at each other, though. Sad and tragic lack of food fight in this game.

Maybe pissy housemates could fling their soup when they flounce off to find a new place to live.  ;D
