Dancing skill
cwieberdink:
I know I'm norminating myself for retardo land asking this, but here goes anyway. Is dancing another ADHD problem area when fun is full or nearly so? I've been having great difficulty getting my sims (with free will off and power idle either on or off) to dance for longer than the initial head bobbing. This makes it very difficult to gain dancing skill to get the bust-a-move option or the scholarship. They will sometimes dance with someone else for a little bit longer, but even that is not sustained the way it was before macrotastics. I even tried setting the fun option to 25% but they still wouldn't dance very long and kept wanting to run to the gnome, which had been stolen, and they couldn't get back because with free-will off, they won't go get it! :-\
Is there any way to add a "dance" option to the skillinator? Even though there's no progress bar? Especially since dancing skill is so powerful, dare I say essential to friendship building?

Yes, dancing is another ADHD thing. The ideal time to learn dancing is right after your sim comes home from school, with his new friend. At this point in time, everyone's fun will be sufficiently low to prevent the ADHD effect, and both sims can simultaneously learn the dancing skill (the visiting sim will also gain dancing skill if he doesn't already have it). Thus, the dancing skill can be learned at zero time cost.

If I could ask a related question...is there a correlation between how long two Sims dance and how many relationship points are earned? And it seems that the "better" dancer your Sim is, the faster relationship points are earned, is that correct or am I imagining things again?

J. M. Pescado:
No relationship: The +rel for dancing with somebody is independent of how long the dancing actually lasts.
JenW:
Good to know, thanks J.M. I won't waste too much time dancing to build up relationship points then.
