Beginner's Guide: Caring For Your Sims

Just like us humans, your sims have basic needs that you have to fulfill in order for them to become "inspired" (you'll know your sims are inspired once you see green sparkles around your sim and the cupcake icon found just above the needs bar stops flashing) and have the energy to work, perform tasks or hobbies, and to earn more than an "uninspired" sim would.


1. HUNGER

To fulfill a preteen, teen and adult sim's hunger, all you have to do is tap on a fridge, a meal cooked by a sim, or a Thanksgiving Banquet (it's a dining table found in the Dining Room tab of the Home Store) and pick from the choices what to give your sim.  For an infant and toddler, tap on an adult sim to be fed.

2.  BLADDER

To empty a sim's bladder, just tap on a toilet and let your sim use it.

3.  ENERGY

To fulfill energy, let your sim sleep on a bed or sit on a sofa or chair, or have a coffee by tapping on a coffee machine or tea set.

4. HYGIENE

To tidy up your sim, tap on a shower, sink or tub.

5.  SOCIAL

To fulfill your sim's social need, just let him interact with other sims or pets, or tap on a telephone and let him make a call.

6.  FUN

For your sim to have fun, tap on a TV, computer, radio, painting or decoration.  You can also have your sim do planting which does not only fill your sim's fun needs, but also gives you simoleons. Planting bell pepper is my preferred choice as it is free and takes only 30 seconds.


If you are too lazy to fulfill each need and happen to have lots of lifestyle points (LPs), you can instead click on the cupcake icon just above the needs bar, beside the active tasks bar, and all your sim's needs are filled.  That would cost 5 LPs each sim.

Beginner's Guide: Adding A Sim

The ability to add a sim depends on the following: 1. Your town's sim count - You are only allowed a certain number of sims per level, so check your town's sim count if you haven't reached the maximum yet for your current level.   2.  Available houses - If one of your sims get married or moves in with another sim, his or her house will become vacant.  A green house means it's vacant.  You can add a new sim to that vacant house or relocate another sim or an entire household to that house. 3. Available simoleons / LPs / SPs - If you plan to add a sim and have not yet exceeded your town's allowable sim count, you can add a sim by buying a house or a vacant lot.  Check how much simoleons / LPs / SPs you have as against the cost of the house you want to buy.  Once you have bought a new house, you will have the ability to add a new sim to your town. With all the above conditions met, you can add a sim to your town in three ways: ...
