encouraging and the macrotastic routine
RainbowTigress:
I've noticed the same thing. At least when they are being encouraged to be active, they stand right there and do jumping jacks or squats or whatever. But when being encouraged to be grouchy, they go looking for someone to be mean to. So I have to make sure everyone in the house is busy doing something or else. I had everyone on the phone calling friends, but when one hung up, there the kid went after them. I didn't think of using power idle.
What is funny is when the parent encourages the kid to be grouchy, the kid makes a 'nyah-nyah!' face at them, and the parent folds their arms, leans back, and looks huffy, but then claps their hands and cheers.

No, this is core to the "Encourage" commands, and not a part of the Encouragifactor.
Well, guess I'll just have to stop doing double encouraging sessions then. I had the mother encourage one teenager, and the father the other, but they kept interfering with one another, and soon the house blew up in a fiery ball that could be seen from space. Or at least i wished it did...

Can you choose what they encourage? When I tried it, I discovered Consort Capp encouraging Juliet to be grouchy and had to put a quick stop to it. I don't have Uni so I wasn't sure if that was how it was supposed to work. I just never liked the sound of Uni...
RainbowTigress:
Sure, you just click on the sim to be encouraged, and choose Macro, Encourage, and then what ever you want them to encourage them in. You can encourage anything that the older sim has strong points in except laziness, which is not included in the Encouragificator because JMP believes this constitues child abuse. :D

I didn't get a choice about what was to be encouraged. He just started right in on encourage grouchiness - Isn't that child abuse too? - better try it again though - maybe there were special circumstances about that one. I'll post again if necessary. thanks
