H'm, if I'm not mistaken J. M. holds the kickable flamingo to be the fastest, and cheapest, way to flll your sim's fun bar. I tend to agree.


The flamingo builds fun quickly, but without a macro to keep kicking it and standing it back up when it falls, it's a micromanagement pain in the tush.  And every time it falls it causes the environment score to go down.  I keep one around now for emergencies, but I prefer using red hands to get fun up as I find it more useful.

I wonder if Maxis has a hidden message in the bubble blower:  If you have one, you won't want to do anything else, even tend to vital needs.  Just Say No, kids! :D

I agree. I also prefer the punching bag to the obstacle course because it builds body constantly rather than running around to build it again.

Yeah but it's a pain in the ass without macrotastics. I find viewing a painting, any painting even a cheap crayon drawing, 3 or 4 times in a row works wonders. Actually, since the flamingo is a scuplture you could probably view that too. Viewing paintings and sculptures or kicking the flamingo or gnome (a sim with 10 playful can actually play with the gnome ;) ) works so fast to get fun up though it's kind of a borderline cheat imo and I try not to overdo it but to use the games and TV and stuff instead. Besides, the yummy channel gets cooking up too as well as social and fun.

That covers basically everything, doesn't it?

LOL I suppose it does. ;) But I still find queuing up look at a painting 3 times less bothersome than kicking a flamingo, waiting until they are done, standing it back up, kicking it again etc.  :(
