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]

No prob pam, sorry bout my violation earlier, I use a blackberry for my net atm

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

[samoht04]

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.

[Pam]

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.

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).

[Mrs.Laphalot]

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.

[Simstar3]

What's an "Ingot"?

[Calgary_Rose]

That's the rectangular piece of metal you get back when you send most ores off for smelting.  And before you ask, "ore" is the lump of metal you find on a rock and gem hunt.

[Dariu]

Oh no wonder
I thought someone hacked to my account to change the thread

[AriaGirl77]

I get flourite all the time via breaking space rocks.  Never a woohooium though.   I still have yet to find one of those, I think I just don't mine enough or something.

[Slingsby]

My sculptor in now level 9, and seems to regularly get woohooium and fluorite as 'impurities' when sculpting in stone.

No idea what use they are, though!!

[Saltypaws]

Woohooium is just neat after you get it smelted.  I put it next to my couples bed.  Flourite, I just get it changed into the sculptors egg gem and display them, but that is me.  I have a house that has tons of eggs, hmm, maybe transmute those little puppies, lol, but, that is another thread.

[samoht04]

I got my first Fluorite today. 

[Tweetybird100]

I found flourite while mining, but have not found woohooium yet.

[Slingsby]

That's some detailed research!!  Well done.

Thanks for the info ... although I still don't know why I want Woohooium in the first place!! 

[RoyalPlumbob]

Just a question:

Since there are not any spawn points known for Woohooium and Fluorite, and the best way to get them is the Miner, they do not count towards the stats in the collecting challenges, so the only way to acquire them is by a recipe in the display case.

Thanks to ab9rf, we may have the recipe for Whoohooium (although I do not fully understand it), now we need to see if there is any formula to get Fluorite.

[wildredchild]

You can get Fluorite by sculpting stone and woohooium by sculpting metal.  You can also pick them up at the consignment store and all the relic stores in the travel destinations.

[Simstar3]

I've been meaning to ask, what's with the cell phone icon on the as the threads icon?

[LlamaMama]

I think it shows that someone posted from their cellphone rather than their computer.

[Pam]

You can get Fluorite by sculpting stone and woohooium by sculpting metal. 

Except when your Sim has the Savvy Sculptor trait.

[Saltypaws]

I have gotten both from sculpting stone.  I don't think I have gotten anything from metal.  I purposely do not give them savvy sculptor, so the stone will crumble and I can get the woohooium.

[Pam]

But what do you do with the Woohooium when you get it?  Mine just sits on the night stand and spews hearts during woohoo.

[Saltypaws]

I wish it did do something other than that.  I wonder if you get a bunch of ingots, what it would come up with on the display case.  Probably a large woohooium ingot?

[Naga]

The display case's name is Carter's Display Case XL Edition, and when you put 8 collectable items on it you can transfigure, and not "transmogrificate", wherever that came from.

Hi there,

I tried this yesterday and got a lot of ingots but no woohooium :/
To be sure I tried different thing : big ingots, small ingots, big and small, ...

Is it still working with the last updates and EP/SP ?
Or maybe I'm doing something wrong :/
So what ? ^^
(about Mercury, should I use vials or the big ingot ?)

Thanks

[Pam]

Hi Ange and welcome to our Forum.

I think this formula would very likely have changed with the new metals that are now available with the release of Late Night.  I find woohooium at the Consignment Store and at the Relic Shops.

[Ange]

Hi Pam,

Thanks for this quick answer ^^

In fact I've already found Woohooium by sculpting stone and digging in the ground but I'm interested in the transfiguration way

If anyone know the new formula, I'm there \o/

[Sara]

Let's see if it increases in value when people Woohoo right next to it, maybe the metal is gaining weight or so. Would be very not-EA like, they'd probably not promote 'Woohoo-ing' for simoleans! But worth a try.

[poofypoof]

I have a tough time looking for Woohooium. Where can I find it? I've tried everything.

[gerrr00]

The only place I have been lucky to find it was rummaging through trash cans.  I think it shows up in the consignment shop also, but I rarely shop there, I can not be completely sure on that.

[gerrr00]

We already have a topic about this, so I'm merging them.

[Hosfac]

The display case's name is Carter's Display Case XL Edition, and when you put 8 collectable items on it you can transfigure, and not "transmogrificate", wherever that came from.

The kid, Calvin (from the comic strip "Calvin and Hobbes), is the one who is famous for transmorgifications.

As for Woohooium, the general theory that I've seen is that if you have it on the nightstand by the bed, you won't get rejected for WooHoo interactions.

So...now we have something to test, I suppose.

A transmogrificate (noun) is one who can change shape (usually flawed or with a humorous or grotesque appearance) to fit his/her surroundings.  To transmogrify (verb) means change and transmogrification means changes or the act of changing.   Note:  This word was first used in 1656 

To transfigure, on the other hand, means to alter the outward appearance of; transform.

So transfigure is really not the correct word to use but works for those of us that can't pronounce [or spell] transmogrificate - lol

Thanks for the research, but in Sims Wiki it says transfiguration
See here - http://sims.wikia.com/wiki/Metal_collecting
Sorry if this is off topic 
So, has anyone found out if the current combination to get Woohooium works without Late Night? (I have Fast Lane Stuff, but not Late Night installed) Thanks in advance!

[Pam]

I believe the game actually calls it "transfigurification," which is neither transfiguration nor transmogrification.  It's a made-up Sims 3 word, apparently.

[Leto85]

It works for me! I won't even try to spell transmogri-, ... transimogo,- ... never mind: transfiguration.

Yeah, they didn't want to get McGonagall mad.  Would you?
