Build the perfect home
Get ready to build the home of your Sims’ dreams with the latest and greatest in customization options! With The Sims 4, you can create and manage your Sims’ lives like never before.
Start by entering Build Mode by pressing F3 or selecting the Build Mode button in the top right-hand menu. Choose a plot of land, and select the foundation tool to raise your house to new heights.
But don’t stop there, add some personality to your Sims’ abode with premade rooms and roof styles, and make sure to include all the necessities like a bed, couch, and appliances. And remember, a home is built by people, not just bricks, so let your Sims’ personalities shine through in their living space.
How do I move forward in Sims 4?
The Sims 4 made it possible for you to set your Sim’s life spans to short, medium, or long in the gameplay settings. But, as we all know, time flies and before you know it, your Sims will be aging up.
You can age up your Sim anytime, just by whipping out a birthday cake and having them blow out the candles. Voila! Your Sims will automatically age up into the next life stage, unless they’re already an elder, of course.
Before you go ahead and light those candles, make sure you place that birthday cake in the centre of a table so your Sims can reach it. And, don’t forget to add the birthday candles automatically before your Sims have a chance to take a piece.
Once a piece is taken, you can’t add the birthday candles on to it.
Now, all that’s left for you to do is make a wish or blow out those candles and you’re good to go. And, if you’re ageing up a toddler, you’ll have to get an adult Sim to help them blow out the candles by selecting the option to do so when clicking on the cake. It’s that simple!
