Top 5 Gameplay Strategies for The Sims™ 4
- Utilize Aspirations for Satisfaction Points: You definitely want to keep knocking out those Aspiration milestones—that’s how you grab those super-useful Satisfaction Points. Cash them in for game-breaking Reward Traits like “Never Weary” or “Sleek and Clean”; they basically stop your Sim’s most annoying needs from decaying.
- Master Emotional Manipulation: Always try to get your Sim into the perfect mood, like Inspired or Focused, right before they start practicing a skill. This emotional high is basically a hidden turbo-boost that makes them learn things like painting, logic, or guitar way faster than usual.
- Prioritize Career Performance: Before sending your Sim off to work or school, make absolutely sure their Needs are full and they are in the best possible emotional state. A happy, well-rested Sim with high needs gets a massive bump to their daily performance, translating to lightning-fast promotions.
- Leverage Gardening and Crafting for Income: Forget those low-level jobs! Invest your Sim’s time into Gardening, Painting, or Woodworking early on, as these are easy ways to rake in cash from home. Selling high-quality harvests, masterpieces, or custom furniture will easily make you rich much faster than a standard career.
- Use the “Move Objects” Cheat for Building: You absolutely need to use the
bb.moveobjects oncheat—it’s the best secret weapon for builders. It lets you place furniture and objects anywhere, overriding the annoying grid to create complex, realistic, and truly amazing custom spaces.
