Feeling just ducky!
At the supermarket, your Sim can buy a Ducksworth of Bathington rubber ducky. Once they return home they can place that §40 bath toy on any tub and any Sim who takes a bath benefits from the Duck Time moodlet, which gives them a +15 mood boost for four hours.

Giddy-up!
If your Sim’s Riding skill is low, they can only walk a horse. Improve their Riding skill and they can be galloping off into the sunset in no time.
The Sims Medieval
It’s true, life in the Middle Ages wasn’t always easy and you and your Sims might just need a few friendly tips to make the most of it. From succeeding on quests to expanding your kingdom, the hints in this section will help you make the most of your medieval adventures.
Good Eats!
Eating a basic meal from the cauldron, oven, or spit results in the Bland Meal buff, which is a minor negative. Buy ingredients at the Village Shoppe or the town square market, or hunt for meat in the woods when making a meal. Cooking with these ingredients gives you positive buffs and, the rarer the ingredient, the higher the buff.
The Sims Social
Move in to the neighborhood and start playing with your real friends. The hints in this section will get you up to speed in no time on this new Facebook hit!
Make the most of your moves!
Performing skill-building activities pays more when your Sim is inspired. To reap the greatest rewards, make sure to boost all of their needs before you tackle any activities that take energy. For an easy shortcut, simply click on the icon for a need that needs a boost. Your Sim will automatically seek out a way to fulfill that need. The only exception is the Social need. Visiting and interacting with a neighbor improves that lickety-split.
