Homes and Neighbors
You can also click other Sims’ houses to go and visit them, even if your Sim doesn’t know them yet. Head
across the street to meet the neighbors or visit a friend across town. Once your Sim is at the neighbors’, they
can ask to come inside and make themselves at home (up to a point!).
TIP: When you mouse-over another house in the neighborhood, the cursor changes depending on whether
anyone currently lives there
or no one lives there .
Community Locations
Your Sim can visit a variety of town locations including parks, the beach, shops, restaurants, and more.
Some locations are venues for your Sims to wander around and explore.
For example, your Sim can visit the graveyard. At the graveyard they can get a part-time job, tour the
mausoleum, explore the catacombs, mourn graveside, and even engrave epitaphs on tombstones.
Some buildings, such as work venues, are more basic. You can’t poke around, although you may be able to
choose between different options for your Sim to perform while inside (see Sim Action Options on p.13 for
more information on these options).
LIVE MODE
Live Mode is where all of the action takes place. Your Sim gets jobs, makes friends and enemies, falls in
love, has a family, pursues their passions, and more, all in this mode.

Getting a Hand on Things in Live Mode
Many items can now be moved around in Live Mode. You can return books to bookshelves, place trash in the
bin, drag small items into your Sim’s inventory, and more.
You’ll know that you can move an object when the cursor changes to include a small hand.
To move an object, click and hold the mouse and then drag to the new spot you’d like to place. An item that
is currently in use cannot be moved.
Inventory/Family Inventory
Each Sim has their own personal inventory. When a Sim picks up an object or brings it home from work, you
will find it in their inventory. Click and drag to move objects into or out of their inventory.
Each household also has an inventory. Certain items go into the Family Inventory instead of an individual
Sim’s inventory. You can access the Family Inventory in Buy mode by clicking the icon that looks like a
cardboard box.
Cell Phone
Each Sim (except for toddlers and babies!) has their own personal cell phone in their inventory. When your
Sim receives a call, just click your Sim and select ANSWER. To make calls, just go to your Sim’s inventory
and click the phone icon.
A Day in the Life
This is a living room containing some ordinary objects. Take a look at some of the ways that your Sim can
interact with them.
