The Sims 3 Encyclopedia eGuide Essentials Wishes, Lifetime Wishes, and Lifetime Rewards

Lifetime Rewards

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 Sims 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 family, these special objects can be passed down and greatly benefit future generations.
