Socialization
Most social interactions between Sims fall into one of these categories: Friendly, Romantic, Mean, Funny,
or Special. Choose the type of interaction you want your active Sim to have with the other Sim, and then
select a specific interaction from the sub-menu. Watch how the other Sim responds to your Sim’s social
interaction—does he find it amusing or creepy? Be careful: if you choose the same social over and over
again, the other Sim may get bored.
Special Interactions
Your Sim’s personality traits grant them special interactions. For example, Sims with the good trait can choose
to BRIGHTEN SOMEONE’S DAY, while evil Sims can do a lot of normal interactions, but with an evil twist.
Relationship Panel
You can view the relationships your Sim has in the Relationship panel. If your Sim knows lots of Sims, you
can even filter the view to see all relationships, or just relatives, friends, visitors, or co-workers.
TIP: Click the portraits in your Sim’s relationship panel to chat with those Sims or invite them over.
Opportunity Comes Knocking
Opportunities are chances for your Sim to advance either their career or skills by accomplishing different
activities. Sims are given career opportunities while they’re at work, while skill opportunities may arrive at any
time in the form of phone calls. Sims can also check the newspaper or computer for Special Opportunities.
Once a Sim has accepted an opportunity, they are focused on it and will not be offered another opportunity
of that type until the first has been accomplished, abandoned, or failed. You can abandon an opportunity by
right-clicking it in the opportunity panel.
Every skill comes with a handful of Skill Challenges that could potentially take a lifetime to complete.
These Challenges are difficult to achieve but the payoffs make it worth it. You can view these challenges
in the Skill Journal.
Many opportunities have time windows for completion. Your Sim often isn’t finished with an opportunity until
it has been turned in, usually at their workplace or to the Sim who provided the opportunity.
Collecting
Even if your Sim doesn’t love the outdoors, they can search for and collect specimens.
Butterflies and Beetles
Sims can venture outdoors to catch these buggy beauties. Once your Sim catches one, they can display it (in
a terrarium), name it, sell it, or simply watch it. Each of these critters has a value, depending on its rarity.
Rocks, Gems, and Metals
Your Sims can also find rocks, gems, and metals if they explore. From space rocks to shiny gold to Plumbob
emeralds, your Sim can have the gems they find cut to increase their value, or simply display them in their
natural state.
To send your Sim’s gems off to have them cut, click one in their inventory and choose GET CUT and then the
type of cut you’d like to have done. Your Sim mails their find off and gets back a beautiful cut stone.
Fishing
There are many bodies of water around town in which your Sim can fish. When your Sim is at a fishing
locale, they can choose to INSPECT THE WATER or FISH. If your Sim has a least one fishing skill point and
has fruits or vegetables in their inventory, you can also CHOOSE BAIT.
Your Sim can have a fish mounted to show it off at home. Click the fish in their inventory and choose SEND
FISH TO BE MOUNTED. Your Sim can also choose to cook the fish they caught or put it in a fishbowl.
Gardening
The more skill points your Sim has in gardening, the more options they have. Your Sim can take a class at
the science lab, read gardening books, or watch the gardening channel to improve their skill. Working in the
garden, of course, also improves their skill.
Seeds
When your Sim is out and about in town, they should keep their eyes open for seeds. Any seeds they find
can be brought home and planted. Your Sims can also plant whole fruit and vegetables as a shortcut to
finding seeds.
Cooking
Sims can start cooking as teenagers (or even earlier on the toy oven) and the more often they cook, the more
cooking skill they acquire. Sims can also improve their cooking by watching cooking shows on TV, reading
books on cooking, and taking classes. As your Sim gains more skill, they learn new recipes. Sims can also
purchase new recipes at the grocery store.
Stocking Up
Your Sims also need to keep their kitchen stocked. Each recipe requires different ingredients, most of which
can be attained at the grocery store. If you do not have the items for a dish on-hand, your Sim can prepare
them, but they are charged more for the ingredients than if they stock up ahead of time. Meals made without
the proper ingredients are lower in quality.
Recipe Book
You can see a Sim’s recipe book inside the skill journal entry for cooking. You can also view the types of
foods they have prepared and how often, what their best meal was, and more.
Surprises in Your Sims’ New Home
When your Sims move in to a bare and unfurnished new home, sometimes they get more (or less!) than
they bargained for… Perhaps their new abode comes with its own resident ghost, or worse yet maybe it’s
already occupied by a host of rodent residents! The real estate agency may offer to take care of this not very
welcome “surprise” for you, but if your Sims are resourceful, they can deal with matters themselves.
Who knows, if your Sims can take care of the problems, they might even find a surprise that they might want!
Changing the Active Household
To change the active household in your current town, from the Options menu choose EDIT TOWN. Then,
click the CHANGE ACTIVE HOUSEHOLD button. This returns you to your initial choices: create Sims, play an
existing household in town, or move in a household.
Changing to a different household leaves your previous household to change along with the rest of the town.
Like other households in the neighborhood, they may get new skills or relationships, get fired or promoted,
or change in other ways. You can always change back to that household, but it’s likely that things will have
changed while you were gone!
