Your focus meter will thank you for not eating gruel.
Pigeon, turnips, and onions are all cheap ingredients that can be used in the easiest recipes. Instead, hit up the local merchant’s stalls, or head to the Village Shoppe to purchase some basic cooking ingredients. The more complex meals requiring lots of rare ingredients provide the best focus buffs but your Sims don’t always have time to cook such an elaborate spread. Eating literally anything else will provide a positive focus buff, instead.
DON’T TOUCH THAT GRUEL! Sims can cook gruel without needing any ingredients but it slaps them with a negative focus buff. Energy and Hunger are the only two motives your Sims need to take care of, so it’s not hard to keep these motives satisfied. Stay well rested and full. Simple enough. You always want it in the green, but the higher, the better. Low focus will tank quest performance and can even get your Heroes killed if they attempt to do something dangerous with low focus (like hunting or fighting).Īlways always always maintain your Heroes’ focus. High focus will boost quest performance and make your Heroes more likely to succeed at their jobs and quest steps. Everything depends on having a high focus. Unlike your Sims’ moods in The Sims 3, focus in The Sims Medieval is essential for success. I’ll be outlining some tips that help me finish every single quest at Platinum level, no matter which Hero I’m playing. I pretty much know all the little hacks and things that add up to make the game easier. I’m here to help with that! I’ve spent probably hundreds if not thousands of hours playing this game over the years. They can’t keep their Heroes’ focus high enough to do well in quests. Of course with new players comes new challenges I’ve seen a lot of people saying they have a hard time figuring out the mechanics of The Sims Medieval. There have been a lot of The Sims Medieval posts circulating around the community which makes my heart happy. I’m not the only one who’s been rediscovering their love of this game, either. I was very sad that such a promising game led such a short life. It was a work of art and did not receive the admiration it deserved.
In my personal opinion, The Sims Medieval is the best Sims spinoff ever made (yes, including Castaway and Bustin’ Out). Lately, I’ve been feeling nostalgic for some older gems in The Sims series and have once again fallen down the rabbit hole of The Sims Medieval.
