Horse Update Orb Progress information

Post by rajcaz »

Thank you to everyone that has taken the time to write things down for us to understand. :)

Anyways I have broken down what progress points is needed in each stage of the sims life based on all the information provided..

With the Saddle Up update the little blue cloud indicating the completion of one Life Dream task has changed.
Where there used to be a percentage there is now a strange number, the numbers work as follows:
Bronze: 25,000
Silver: 35,000
Gold: 55,000
Platinum: 70,000
So, what 1% means at each level varies, eg Bronze 250pt = 1%, Silver 350pt = 1% and so on.

(Thanks to EA Matt for supplying the answer).

Teens: 12 days
Adults: 24 days
Seniors: 8 days

Total lifespan: 60 days

Babies: 2 days **** 48 hours ****
Toddlers: 6 days **** 144 hours ****
Preteens: 8 days **** 192 hours ****

Preteens can get to about 22%. (mine was at 24% at the update and has to age, so I don't know the exact %).

What I've been doing is having my preteens and teens study at a desk to max out the TV from school, then letting them age to the next level to continue working on the LD/orbs.
My percents seem to be:
Toddlers to 10%
Preteens to 24% - corrected
Teens to 44%
Adults to 86%

I like your schooling idea. I'm going to start doing that.
Also used this thread for advice viewtopic.php?f=7&t=1877

First I am going to change (break down) the percentages so they all equal together to make 100%

Toddlers to 10% ----> 10%
Preteens to 24% (24-10=14) ----> 14%
Teens to 44% (44-14-10=20) -----> 20%
Adults to 86% (86-20-14-10=42) ----> 42%
Seniors to 100% (100-42-20-14-10=14) ----> 14% :)

So 10% + 14% + 20% + 42% + 14% = 100%

Now that we have the percentages down we are going to work out orbs :)

Bronze orb you need 25,000 progress points

So per life stage you need

Toddler 10% -----> 2500
Preteen 14% ----> 3500
Teen 20% ------> 5000
Adult 42% ------> 10500
Senior 14% -----> 3500

Therefore 2500 + 3500 + 5000 + 10500 + 3500 = 25000 progress points needed to obtain bronze orb.


Silver orb you need 35,000 progress points

So per life stage you need

Toddler 10% -----> 3500
Preteen 14% ----> 4900
Teen 20% ------> 7000
Adult 42% ------> 14700
Senior 14% -----> 4900

Therefore 3500 + 4900 + 7000 + 14700 + 4900 = 35000 progress points needed to obtain silver orb.


Gold orb you need 55,000 progress points

So per life stage you need

Toddler 10% -----> 5500
Preteen 14% ----> 7700
Teen 20% ------> 11000
Adult 42% ------> 23100
Senior 14% -----> 7700

Therefore 5500 + 7700 + 11000 + 23100 + 7700 = 55000 progress points needed to obtain gold orb.


Platinum orb you need 70,000 progress points

So per life stage you need

Toddler 10% -----> 7000
Preteen 14% ----> 9800
Teen 20% ------> 14000
Adult 42% ------> 29400
Senior 14% -----> 9800

Therefore 7000 + 9800 + 14000 + 29400 + 9800 = 70000 progress points needed to obtain platinum orb.



I have done a spread sheet utilising the information above and the progress numbers that Hordeprime collected from everyone however not sure how to share or upload (only done until teens at this stage).

viewtopic.php?f=7&t=1843&start=10

Here is an example:

Toddler

Splash in a kiddie pool: Silver 2h 377 progress points.

Take 3500 (10% of silver orb) and divide 377 (progress points) = 9.28

Now round up to nearest whole number. In this case it will be 10. Then multiply by the 2hours needed to complete dream and you have the number 20.

So it will take 20 hours to complete this task before levelling up. (Leaving the toddler with 124 hours to be a toddler before progressing or age up for free)



Preteen

Play Sim city: Silver 2h 377 progress points

Take 4900 (14% of silver orb) and divide 377 (progress points) = 12.997

Now round up to nearest whole number. In this case it will be 13. Then multiply by the 2hours needed to complete dream and you have the number 26.

So it will take 26 hours to complete this task before levelling up. (Leaving the preteen with 166 hours to be a preteen before progressing or age up for free)



Teenager

Snorkelling: Silver 6h 764 progress points

Take 7000 (14% of silver orb) and divide 764 (progress points) = 9.162

Now round up to nearest whole number. In this case it will be 10. Then multiply by the 6 hours needed to complete dream and you have the number 60.

So it will take 60 hours to complete this task before levelling up. (Leaving the teenager with 228 hours to be a teenager before progressing or age up for free)



Adult

Relaxing Skate: Silver 6h 764 progress points

Take 14700 (14% of silver orb) and divide 754 (progress points) = 19.49

Now round up to nearest whole number. In this case it will be 20. Then multiply by the 6 hours needed to complete dream and you have the number 120.

So it will take 120 hours to complete this task 20 times before levelling up. (Leaving the adult with 476 hours to be a adult before progressing or age up for free)



Senior (maths may need to be checked with this one)

Be a lifeguard at the swim centre: Silver 25m 52 progress points

Take 4900 (14% of silver orb) and divide 52 (progress points) = 83.0508

Now round up to nearest whole number. In this case it will be 84.

To work out the hours we have to do more maths:

25m times 84 divide by 60m = 35.4 hours (not entirely sure if this formula is correct)

So it will take 35.4 hours to complete this task 84 times before levelling up. (Leaving the senior with 156.6 hours to be a senior before meeting death or die early for free and obtain silver orb to pass on or use)



Also if you age the toddler to preteen without doing the tasks for that level then (toddler progress point plus preteen progress points) for silver that would be 3500 + 4900 = 8400 and that would be the new total to obtain for preteen before becoming a teenager.


Please correct me if I am wrong and I apologise if this is way too confusing. Hopefully you find it useful. (This is if you want your sim to have as normal life as possible whilst still collecting the orb)

(If I am correct with my maths, then I am happy to help calculate anyone's life dreams for them)

Just comment what your sims age is,
Your life dream is,
How long it takes,
Progress points,
1,2 or 3 star object and
whether the orb you are going for is bronze, silver, gold or platinum.

I did something similar a while back, but I came up with slightly different numbers:

Toddler: 2500
Preteen: 3750
Teen: 4750
Adult: 10500
Senior: 3500

But you might be right, I'm not sure now.

Basically, to find out how many times you will have to do your bronze life dream task for before you can age up for free, take the above numbers and divide by the number of points you get for doing one of the tasks, then round up to the nearest whole. Obviously it's just approximate.

Teens need 5000 for bronze. 250 points (1%) x 20 = 5000 :)

Yeah, I think I was originally working off different information (as reported here for example), which was only estimated and later proven to be slightly out.

Hi Hordeprime.

Yeah I saw that post after I posted requesting the new breakdown of the life spans. But I didn't see how in depth the knowledge that you provided. Feeling embarrassed now that I was trying to show off the work I did :oops: :oops:

How do you delete a post on here? Considering we don't need two of the same thing on here :D

To answer your question ... You can delete your thread by yourself, as long as there is no reply. Thereafter you can ask Perturbee to delete it. By pm or taping the "Report" button.

But I see this thread a bit different to the other. HordPrime's post is a great help to find the best dreams for our sims and own life-schedule.

Your opening post in this thread shows up, that our orb grinding peeps can do way more than working on orbs, before they age up/die.

Hope, this makes sense :)

Yeah, there's no harm in keeping both.
We don't need to be in competition or anything, and sorry if my earlier post came across as condescending or whatever; every bit of information helps!

Rajcaz, please don't delete this thread! :o

I'm not orb grinding at all. I'm trying to just let my sims continue on in their everyday lives while attaining orbs, and have been doing the same math as you. I would love to see the remainder of HordePrime's list with your breakdown. Together they would be the ultimate lists! :D
