Better Use of the SimVac?
Quickfade:
I don't get the Sim Vac at all. (So I don't use it... I find that way I don't mess up my game ;) )
Ok, say my Sim has 4 cooking points and he sucks the skills out of a Sim with 2 cooking points. Does that mean he now will have 6 cooking points, or does the fact that he already has more than 2 cooking points negate the effect and leave his skill total the same?
???

I use it to suck the skill points from my old people before they kick off. It doesn't take all their skill points, but adds some to the Sim using the vac. I've never seen a difference in it working if the Sim has less skill then the suckee. (is that a word?)
ZephyrZodiac:
The worst thing is if your sim goes from gold into green while using it! They then lose their own skill points and if they're a Knowledge sim they end up having a breakdown and the shrink has to come and sort them out! It's far worse than them drinking elixir when they've slipped back into green!

Uni+Sim Vac+Irritating Coach=A good thing. Uni is the only time I really use the Sim Vac. When the coach comes to yell at your Sim, you have the prime opportunity for lots of free skill points if your Sim is not maxed. I only use it in Platinum. Last night my Sim maxed out her charisma, cleaning, and gained several cooking points from the coach. I also topped off her Platinum at the end. The thing about the coach is that he won't leave after being vacced. He'll just run to another part of the dorm so you can repeat the procedure many times. I emptied two Sim Vacs on him. I did have to take a short break during the shrink visit.
You get one skill point per use of the Vac, which is good for 5 uses, and it's random. It does not matter if your Sim already has more points than the suckee. My next victim will likely be one of the irritating drama professors that visit at random. If you show up uninvited, you're fair game. Besides, it's fun. ;)
ZephyrZodiac:
You'd think they'd be able to max out their Body Skill Points from the coach! Obviously, they aren't actually any good at their jobs, which is why sims who give in to their yelling and start working out don't actually get any fitter!
