The Sims 4: How to Complete the Social Puppet Aspiration
Sims 4 Royal and Legacy expansion players can test their ability to unearth secrets by completing the Social Puppeteer aspiration.
One of these landmarks is Anansi's Well, and that's exactly what this article focuses on. This guide tells players what they need to know about Anansi's Well in The Sims 4including where it is and what players can do with it.
Anansi's Well Overview (Location, Interactions)
What is Anansi's Well in The Sims 4?
Anansi's Well is located in the Dambele district of Ondarion, near the Zanbira market, more precisely on the other side of the aqueduct. Players can explore the well and learn more about its legend. She lets them know that they will be rewarded if they can complete her challenges, but if they fail, they will also be punished for their mistakes.
In addition to starting trials, players can also interact with the well and ask for Anansi's advice for just 1 Simoleon. Finally, players can begin Trials, which are divided into four parts: Weave a Story, Offer a Secret, Spin a Web, and Fill a Thread.
How to complete Anansi's Trials in The Sims 4:
Here's how players can complete all parts of Anansi's Trials The Sims 4:
Anansi's First Trial: Weave a Story
- Puzzle: “Spin the story with wit and weight. Tell the story and let Anansi decide your fate.”
- Help for Moodlet: “Spin a story with wit and weight, let your words weave in the shadow of fate. You await Anansi's verdict.”
Since secrets and scandals are a major part of Kingdoms and Legacies, many players might think that this challenge requires them to find and uncover secrets. However, this is not the case.
To complete Anansi's first trial, players will simply need to start a conversation with the Sim and tell them a success story. It doesn't matter if it's a group story, a funny story, an incredible story, or any kind of interaction on the Stories social tab, if the listeners are entertained by the player's funny Sim, they will complete that first attempt.
When players complete an Anansi trial, they receive a positive mood that either makes them feel confident, good, or focused. Additionally, when they pass the first trial, they gain a power boost to the next rank.
Anansi's Second Trial: Offer up a secret
- Puzzle: “Whisper what lies beneath your smile. Hold the secret too tightly and the web can twist, but share it and Anasia's favor will find you.”
- Help for Moodlet: “[This Sim] he must whisper what lies beneath their smile. Share the secret and maybe Anansi's favor will be theirs.”
The title of this trial tells players exactly what they must do to complete it: they must share another Sim's secret. To do this, they must first uncover someone's secret, either through gossip or by buying from an Information Broker. They must then speak directly to another Sim and reveal this secret by talking to someone and selecting the “Share Secret About” interaction on the Gossip social tab.
Players in Noble Career will receive performance boosts after completing this trial, maximizing their job performance and allowing them to earn promotions if they've completed their promotional tasks.
Anansi's Third Process: Spin the Web
- Puzzle: “Weave a trick. Twist the thread. Let another stumble while you rise. Let Anansi judge if you're smart enough to dance on the web.”
- Help for Moodlet: “[This Sim] must attempt a fraudulent act under Anasi's supervision. This clue will reveal whether they are smart or just bogged down in folly.”
While this puzzle is somewhat vague, players can gain more information about what to do next by analyzing the mood flights they receive when completing these trials. Players receive a Focused Moodlet, which is supposedly there to help them successfully fool the other. This makes it clear that they have to make a deceptive interaction.
To complete the third trial, players must open the Deception tab in Mischief's social menu and select any of the available interactions..
Players will not receive a noble career performance boost for completing this trial; instead, they get a slight boost in their current favor.
Anansi's Fourth Trial: Smile of Approval
- Puzzle: “Collect the words that stick in your mind and tie them to the page. If written with perfection, it will stand up to Anansi's site with grace.”
- Help for Moodlet: “Anansi presents a challenge for [this Sim] write a book worth remembering. If perfection appears, we are rewarded, but if the work falters, so may its creator.”
Players should make sure to claim any unclaimed promotions before completing this trial period, as if they successfully complete it, they will be rewarded with a noble career promotion.
The player's Sim will have a Focused moodlet booster available for three days. During this time, he must try to write a “book worthy of remembrance”, meaning a book of excellent quality. Sims who are able to complete these requirements within the time limit will complete the final exam.
A strong writing ability will make this task much easier for you, but it is not required. Players should be able to do this even after practicing typing a few times. In addition to increasing their skills, players should make sure they are in a good mood while writing their book, as this increases their chances of creating a high-quality book.
To guarantee that their Sim creates a high-quality book, players can cheat for maximum writing ability using the code: “stats.set_skill_level Major_Writing 10“.
When a Sim fails a test, they receive the opposite of their reward. For example, if they were to gain favor by completing a trial, they will actually decrease.
Reward for completing Anansi Trials in The Sims 4
In addition to the various rewards mentioned above, Sims who complete all four stages of the Anansi Trials will gain the Threadshifter trait. This trait allows them to change their preferred favor in a noble career however and whenever they want.
To do this, players must interact themselves and select the Shift Favor interaction. After using this interaction, players must wait a while before changing the favor again. Unfortunately, when players move their favor alignment, it doesn't go to the exact same spot on the opposite end, so they lose some favor during the shift.
While Sims who are not in a noble career can complete the trials of Anansi v The Sims 4the Confident and Focused temporary moods are the only rewards they can use during this process. All career related upgrades are exclusive to Noble Career and the Threadshifter reward trait is useless in any other career. Additionally, once trials are completed, players cannot repeat them. Therefore, if players are not currently in a noble career, they should skip the Anansi Trials.
