Woohooium, Secret Weapon? And Flourite.

[Dariu]

Well, many people who got WooHooium say that when you WooHoo and the Woohooium is beside your bed on a stand, hearts come from it and such.

But does it do anything else?

There was a belief that with a woohooium near the bed, sims won't refuse a WooHoo, is this correct or not?
Myth? Or not?

Anyone know?

[Pam]

There's been some who have been wondering what Woohooium does.  Now we've got something to get started testing.  Thanks, Dariu!

[Dariu]

So I can't reply via pm

How did you guys get woohooium?

[Schipperke]

I've had it a couple of times when a sculptor is working on a stone block - the block breaks, and there is your woohooium.  Haven't figured out yet what it does, but when you mouse over it, it hints at mysterious effects on sims.

[Hawkueta]

I also have gotten it from the Miner and Sculpting. Haven't found it within the neighborhood, though. If there are any answers to its "powers" it should be checked, so far I havn't gotten another bar since I used my others for Transfiguration.

[Delgar]

I discovered Woohooium while sifting through garbages. Man the things you can find if you're willing to get a little dirty.

[Leto85]

I wonder what woohooium does in combination with the HEL love bed. Actually I haven't tested that bed at all, because the energy level it provides is so low, but maybe I will.
I asume that in combination with the woohooium, the woohoo producing sims will get one great moodlet.
Too bad there isn't any particular moodlet for having a good woohoo, otherwise we could compare.

Large and Regular Woohooium Ingots in action

Wow, that looks very cool just to have for non-adult Sim pursuits! 

[Leto85]

Just came to my mind. Those metals could maybe increase the chance of getting twins or triplets.
That way, it would be immediately your favorite metal, Pam.

[Slingsby]

Hmmm ... not found that metal yet.  

Anyway, my Sims tend to woohoo in a sarcophagus in the basements, as it's easier to queue the action [who cares about romance?   ]

[IgnorantBliss]

The only time my sims have acquired woohooium so far is digging through garbage cans while on vacation in France. I never got around to testing the effects of it since I abandoned that saved game soon after.

Oh, I can get twins and triplets, no problem.  But I'll have to find some of that woohooium and see what it does.  My Sim Elvis Presley (father of 11) happens to be in France at this very moment and he's not opposed to rummaging in trash cans. 

[Lisbeth]

I wonder if there are any spawn places for woohooium. I've only found it in the consignment store, trash cans and through mining. Never noticed any side effects. My sims Emo-Kid and Rain Weird tried for baby with a woohooium bar at the nightstand but they only got one child (thank god).

I was coming to see if anyone had found any news about the woohooium but I'm guessing it's still being tested.    I have found 2 in the consignment store this sim week and I just sent them to be smelted. They look cool if nothing else.  

[Archer0]

Just did a google search and still nothing on spawn points for this metal, nor for the new flourite.  Maybe EA will add some spawn points in a patch.

I did find a post where somebody got woohooium at the relic store while in France.  So, I'm going to start checking relic stores while on any vacations.

Also, I found this transfiguration recipe for woohooium in the google search, but have not confirmed it.  They claim it is the most reliable recipe for creating woohooium:

Top row: Platinum with Mercury vial stacked on it, Mercury, Palladium, Silver

Bottom row: Platinum, Mercury, Iridium, Silver

[wildredchild]

Neither metal nor gem can be found in the wild.  The only ways to get them are to mine, sculpt, buy at consignment store or buy at one of the relic stores in Chine, France and Egypt.  Maybe they will put them out to spawn at some point, but I don't see them doing so anytime soon.  Just my personal opinion. 

[MaryMary]

One of my sims found an already smelted ingot of Woohooium in the mausoleum.  So it seems to be set as a random treasure.

I'm almost certain I found Flourite in the wild.  But just shoot me because I can't remember where.  I've just come off the Crazy Eight's Collector's Challenge and all of my gem collecting is a blur.  You can definitely get Flourite from breaking space rock blocks, but I really think I found one in the wild, too.

I changed the title of this thread so we can talk about both of the new collectibles in Ambitions.

Rummaging through garbage cans is one additional option to these.

[wildredchild]

Too right, sorry that I forgot about that

[NancyJ]

I thought I'd found flourite in the wild too, beind the railway car in Twinbooke - sort of near the science building *I think* - it was quite some time ago and I don't generally look for gems in the wild, it's not very efficient but I think I was out there getting palladium and checking for pink diamonds.

[WickedSimmer87]

Well correct me if I didn't see anyone mention it, but I got like all my pink diamonds from using the miner right outside in my backyard. Don't recall getting fluorite same way, though.

Confirmed!  Using all small ingots and mercury vials, I got a small iridium ingot and a small woohooium ingot.  Using all large ingots, I got the following small ingots:  iron, iridium, woohooium, and mummitomium.
