Today continuation and last part of presentation various Objectives Types.

Relations Objective

This objective gets completed if a Sim gains certain relation with other Sims.

You can set it up to complete for more than one Sim. In the example below you need to befriend 3 different Sims (unique targets).

All relevant relations are listed. You can see a definition “match_any” - which means any of these 3 listed relations will be ok. But you can also set up in your objective to match all, example:

In this example you need to at the same time have 2 relations with another Sim - to be married to this Sim and to have Soulmates relation.

Having object Objective

This objective is about having a certain object in your household, or inventory. You can define this object by its TuningId, or by a general Tag:

TuningId definition:

An object objective test shown in an objective, with the actual_object in the definition_id highlighted

Tag definition:

You can actually set up many tests within this objective e.g.:

is object on active lot?
is the Sim with aspiration the owner of this object? (this will work only for object for which you can set up the ownership e.g. notebook)
when the check should be made? - here when you exit the build buy mode
etc. etc. many configurations to discover :)

Earned money Objective

You can set up an objective about money earned.

It can be total money earned by your Sim, like in the example above, but you can also set up a specific Tag, for example for royalties:

Photo taken Objective

There is also a nice way to make an objective for taken photos. You can do it simply listing interactions to take photo, or there is this nicer way:

Here you can also specify taking photos in unique locations:

Or even photos of group of Sims:

Perk Objective

You can have an objective to buy a certain perk. Perks are these bonuses that you can buy for e.g. fame points, or club points, or occult points, you just need to know what its tag.

Final Note

As you can see, possibilities are almost endless. Well, almost ;) I often get stuck, because I have an objective in my head, but I can’t find a way to actually make it in the game xD But for sure, there is a lot of ways to achieve various things. I didn’t present all possible objective types, nor configurations. You need to discover some things on your own as well :)

The more you’ll do, the more you’ll learn :)

Next time, I will show the last thing about Objective Tuning, and then we’ll move to other topics.

Thank you!
