How to unlock the Power Overwhelming achievement in The Sims 3 - Definitive Guide
Listed below are the 5 powers you need to purchase, their purchase price, and unlock conditions.
Divine Intervention: (150) Explore the catacombs after dark. The catacombs are located at a building called "Specter Family Mausoleum" in the top left of the town map. I did this around 2 a.m. just to make sure it was really night time but i suppose any time after the sun goes down would probably work. Doing this will also unlock another achievement "I Double Dare Ya".
Stroke of Genius: (150) To unlock this power for purchase your sim needs to take a class at any business that is offering one. For example I had my sim take a class at the local school.
Good Times: (150) For this power you need to get your sim to have 5 positive moodlets at one time. You can get positive moodlets for doing things like eating a good meal, or resting in a comfy bed, or enjoying your surroundings because of the art. This is an easy one to unlock.
Giant Jackpot: (200) To unlock this power for purchase you must raise your household's value to 35,000 simoleons or more. You can increase your houses value either by adding rooms to it, or stuffing it full of expensive furniture, your choice.
Get Lucky: (300) To unlock you must have a first kiss. Pretty self explanatory.
There are a total of 8 Good Karma powers and you start with 3 of them. The ones you will need to buy are good times, stroke of genius, get lucky, giant jackpot and divine intervention. You must complete challenges to unlock all of these and it just so happens that all of them except stroke of genius has a challenge that also unlocks a trophy. Once you've beaten all of the challenges that are required to unlock the powers go to the store where you spend your challenge points and buy the Good Karma powers. All of the powers in total will cost you 950 challenge points. Once you buy your last Good Karma power you will unlock the trophy.
All together the challenge points you will need is 950. When you have this amount of points and have completed the following challenges:
- I Double Dare Ya - Explore the Catacombs after dark
- Home is Where the Simoleons Are - Raise a household value to over $35,000
- You Never Forget Your First - Kiss your first Sim
All of these challenges are linked to achievements with the same name. You do not have to use the power simply unlocking them is enough.
