This is so satasfying Great work! In The Sims , it was a matte, darker green kind, and has since lightened in color and gained a more glowy, crystal-like appearance to itself. The Sims 4 recently went through a huge graphics overhaul where the plumbob was yet again redesigned to a more minimalistic and artsy version of itself.

So, we know that the different colors of the plumbob in-game represent the state of mind and physical health of our Sims. The color scheme hasn't always been the same, though, and has evolved quite a bit over the years. In the first game The Sims , a white middle color was used to signify a neutral state.

This was later abandoned and re-purposed into a glowing platinum one in The Sims 2 when a character had reached a high level in their aspiration bar. Now, the neutral state is represented by lighter colors of green, while yellow and orange signify discomfort and red means your Sim is in a critical state. It's not just the colors that vary when it comes to the plumbob. Ever since The Sims 4 came out and began introducing its other life forms, such as aliens, vampires and recently mermaids, a set of special plumbobs have emerged with a ring around them.

The aliens have a futuristic, clean-looking ring that's something akin to a space ship. Vampires, on the other hand, have a dark, rocky ring with the picture of a bat on it. Finally, mermaids have a white shell-like ring with a wave pattern going all around it.

There's one color for the plumbob that hasn't seen much use due to changes in the game, and it's the blue plumbob. First introduced in The Sims , it was used to identify a Sim that was grouped up with you on a date. The shade of the blue would reveal to the player how much the person was enjoying the date, with darker shades signifying a higher level of satisfaction.

This mechanic carried over to The Sims 2 , where the blue plumbob would also appear above a date's head. In The Sims 4 , the blue plumbob was replaced by a diamond-like hexagon, which signifies the person is grouped up with you. It should therefor NOT be factered in while comparing salaries for the different careers!

Also, fussing about the number of days free you get after promotions, is also pointless. If you get to the top level of a career early, you may be in that job for several weeks especially if you drink some Elixir occasionally , and then the number of free days after promotion is meaningless, because AGAIN, it happens just once per level.

By the way, most of the time, you will find that a sim gets promoted just before an upcoming day off, and on the new level, they would have to WORK the next day. In other words, the carpool would arrive in an hour, and the sim had no off-time at all! Your email address will not be published.
