Despite The Sims being a classic game, sometimes some details about how to play go unnoticed. That's why we research, talk to experts and finally find 8 essential tips to dominate and change our Sims experience!
We've separated some really cool content to improve your gameplay, customize the game and increase your creation and construction possibilities.
1. Keep the Sim's Needs High
For starters, if you like to play with large families or can't handle the basic needs of a single Sim, follow our guidelines to keep them happy.
When purchasing an object, check your score for each need
Objects with high scores fill needs quickly and make them last longer. Beds with high scores make the Sim more rested, showers with high scores make the Sim feel cleaner for longer, and so on!
Solve Sim's Need Quickly
If the Sim has a very low basic need, just click on the icon for the same need and it will look for the fastest way to solve it. It sounds silly, but it can save you a lot of time.
Have special fruits available
There are some fruits that cause emotions and fulfill specific needs. It is the case of Bizarre Fruit, included only in the Strangerville package. After being vaccinated against the epidemic, eat a Bizarre Fruit and all his needs will be maxed.
If you still haven't prepared the vaccine against the epidemic, take a look at the article we made about Strangerville and find out how.
