What is the point of the "challenge to be kind" option?

I completed the positivity challenge (first one I have actually participated in tbh) and I have all the posters which is nice, however, as far as that I don't see what it adds to the game. When I use the challenge to be kind on another sim it doesn't do anything. It doesn't give a moodlet nor does the target sim do anything "kind". I don't know maybe it's my game but all it adds is any extra trait to the sim who completes it. Maybe I'm wrong. Can anyone shed some light on this?

I think when I get off work tonight I'll try it on a random sim and see if the friendship increases more. I tried it on my sims husband, father and a friend of hers and got nothing.
The posters themselves are actually worth $940 simoleons EACH, which my poor sim used very nicely and needed. So, hey if your sim needs some money good chunk of change.
On another note, I noticed they added the autonomous telekinesis thing with Millie Bobby which I thought was amusing with a nod to Stranger things.

I would have much preferred a "negativity" challenge. Make your sims be as mean as possible, get in fights, insult each other, and earn dangerous weapons to torture your sims. Now that would be fun
Thats what I thought too... I went back in my game and tried it on random sims and it does nothing so... oh well I guess
me too... But we might not get something like that sadly
I see your point, but at the same time, we do have Brawl Day in Seasons. And I have a couple Sims who are over-the-top cheerful enough that they would totally do a positivity challenge, probably to the annoyance of everyone else around them:
"Can I brighten your day?"
"You just did... ten seconds ago!"
"Aww.... what else can I do?"
"..."
"Quick, someone kick over a trash can so Lenore can pick it back up and feel good about her contributions to society!"
*kick*
"Yea!"
(That's actually about how it went. ^_^)

and yes, the trait is only available through the challenge. it's called 'kindness ambassador' and it allows a new interaction that we haven't figured out the use of yet (which is what this whole thread is about). it does introduce a whole new section for aspirations, though. 'event'. so we'll likely see more of these somewhere along the line
Aaah! You have to call her again when you complete it! Thanks for the info.
But I'd you say the trait will only work during the challenge I don't think I'll bother calling her back.

I like your style!
for some reason I thought you were talking about me hahaha
*My name is Lenore... how funny is that!*
I would dig this.
Then as a reward maybe we could get one of the items they had planned for the 'dangerous stuff' stuff pack. Oh, such possibilities thrown away for laundry ;___;
I love the mama bear and baby bear one. Perfect for a toddler's or child's room.
This explains the Kindness Ambassador trait. I never called Millie back to receive the trait though because my sims are already kind.

> the trait works even after the challenge is over. but it's got an interaction that we don't know the use of. it might unlock the aspiration for other sims after the challenge is over, but we'll see if that's the case once the challenge is over
I'm really hoping this is the case.
I'd like to have a Sim finish this Aspiration now, and once the Challenge is over, have the "Challenge to Be Kind" interaction allow other Sims to be able to take on this Challenge in the future.
I really like the Kindness Ambassador trait, as combined with other friendly relationship-boosting traits like Gregarious, or have a high reputation, can let a Sim go from acquaintances to Good Friends from a Cheerful Introduction.
It's amazing, it makes your Sim like... a super-friend.
Thanks for the link. I really just wish it did a little more like when you challenge someone to be kind they say something or do something kind for someone else or it could be like getting a curse from jungle adventure where you talk to a sim and it spreads from sim to sim.
