Beginner's Guide: Creating Your First Sim

This is probably the most exciting part of playing The Sims Freeplay, creating your first sim! So, let's get going!

II. CREATING YOUR FIRST SIM

Let's launch the game by clicking on its icon on your device. I am using an android tablet and here's what it looks like:

You'll see this upon start up:

Just wait for the game to load and you'll see this:

Choose "START NEW GAME" for now. I will be creating a separate post for THE CLOUD as you'll be needing it every now and then to save your game progress. The intro follows next.

This is going to be your first sim's house. Some simmers later convert this house to a "Task House" where all the social task items are stuffed inside to help visiting neighbors complete their social tasks without jumping from one town or house to another.

Now it's time to create your first sim! Click on the green bubble with a house icon on top of the house.

This is a random female sim. Notice there are two tabs: the first one on the left (which looks like a candy) shows your sim's DNA where you can choose the gender, name and skin tone of your sim. You may also choose a random sim by clicking on the orange bar at the bottom.

The second tab is for your sim's wardrobe where you can choose hats, hair color and style, shape of the head and facial features, eye color, tops, pants, and shoes for your sim.

Once you are done customizing your sim, click on save and then yes to start with this sim.

That was easy, right? Now, let's get back to the game!

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!

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 yo
