The Sims team finally brought back The Wishing Well to The Sims 4 in the latest Stuff Pack, Romantic Garden. The Wishing Well and Evil Children return! The TS4 Wishing Well’s temperament has a great affect on each outcome. You can “Make an Offering” of $100, $1000, $5,000 to increase your chances of being granted the wish you choose, but it doesn't always increase your chances. You may only make one wish every 8 hours.
.@PetarSimmer 9 wishes, 54 outcomes. Wish for Romance, Happiness, Wealth, Life, Youthful Vigor, Grades, a Promotion, a Child, and a Skill.

Tips:
- If you are already wealthy, don't wish for wealth because The Wishing Well frowns on greed.
- An "offering" does not guarantee a positive outcome.
- If your Sim gets a hysterical, or any other extreme mood, calm them down (mirror, yoga) because they could die.
- The face on the well changes and hints if you will have a positive or negative outcome. Something ghost-related happens when the Well’s face has a hood. If you see The Well’s face light up red, expect the worst outcome. Yellow means a negative outcome. Blue is neutral. Green is positive. White is the best outcome possible.
If there is an outcome we missed, or got wrong, let us know in the comments below! While there are 6 categories of outcomes for each wish, Simmers across the Sims Community forums are reporting slight variations of the neutral, positive and negative effects unique to each Sim’s storyline. We will update each outcome with specific moodlet lengths each time we use The Wishing Well.
