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.

How do I fulfill the social needs of my sim when there is no phone in her house and there is not an option to buy one at this time?

Talking to another sim is one way to max out your sim's social needs if there is no phone available. :)

Beginner's Guide: Navigating the camera

NAVIGATING THE CAMERA The first part of the tutorial is learning how to pan the camera.  Panning only means moving the camera or view to a different location.  Just touch and hold (don't let go) anywhere in the screen and move your finger toward the part that you wish to explore. You can move to the left or right, up or down.   Or you can rotate the camera clockwise or counterclockwise. Zoom in or out. That's it!
