Lifetime Happiness Points

When you boost your mood into the bubble at the top of the Mood meter, you start accumulating Lifetime Happiness Points. Lifetime Happiness Points are also earned by fulfilling wishes. Lifetime Happiness Points are traded in for Lifetime Rewards, which are a series of special skill, traits, and objects with unique properties.

Gather as many Lifetime Happiness Points as possible—this is a great way to measure to the progress of your Sim and see how well they are doing in life. And those Lifetime Rewards are fantastic to have, especially the objects like the Moodlet Manager and the Food Replicator. If you are playing out a multi-generational household, these special objects are passed down and greatly benefit future generations.

If your Sims are so good at Cooking that they regularly make perfect meals, zero in on the Food Replicator to keep making perfect meals ad infinitum. This is a great way to give all Sims on the lot the powerful Amazing Meal moodlet.

Caution

Buying the Hardly Hunger Lifetime Wish sounds like a good idea, but be careful. If you don’t want to eat, then you miss out on the great Meal-related moodlets.
