'''The Eclectic and Enigmatic Energizer''' is an [[Aspiration rewards|aspiration reward]] that was added in ''[[The Sims 2]]''. According to its description, the technology behind it is "a puzzle wrapped in an enigma, held together with copious amounts of duct tape and bits of twine", and it certainly looks like a ramshackle contraption that's held together with duct tape and twine. Regardless of what it looks like, it works - though it can only be used five times, as indicated by the five red lights on its bench.
The Sim using the Energizer pulls a lever on the right-hand side of the device, then steps into an old washtub on the left-hand side. If the use is successful, the Sim will be surrounded by a bright glow as his or her [[motives]] are boosted. However, failure will drain the Sim's motives, though it will not kill him or her. If many of the Sim's motives are very low, the Energizer will not be able to completely replenish all of them, though all motives will get a substantial boost.
Using the Energizer takes 30 Sim minutes. If the Sim was in gold aspiration when stepping into the Energizer, it doesn't matter if he or she drops into green while it's running. However, if the Sim's aspiration level drops from gold to green between the time the lever is pulled and the time he or she steps into the Energizer, it may fail. If the Sim's [[Energy]] is depleted severely enough, he or she may pull the lever, step in, then step out before the Energizer can start to work. This will '''not''' use up one of the machine's five uses.
