getting friendly with the sims 3

There is so much to discover in The Sims 3 that it can seem a bit confusing, and that’s a longtime Sims 2 addict talking. If you’ve never tried the Sims franchise before and just started Sims 3, you may be finding it a bit overwhelming. That’s why I decided to list a few hints and tips that I have found useful in my week’s worth of playing. I’ll add more as I think of them but here’s the first few that have occurred to me:

-A pair of Sims is actually easier to learn with than a solo Sim, especially if they keep very different schedules.
-What a Sim does at work can really affect his or her life so keep close tabs on how your Sim spends the workday.
-Spend your Sim’s Lifetime Happiness points ASAP – my favorite 5,000 point rewards so far are the ones that let you clean faster and slack off at work with no consequences.
-If you’re looking to build a home for your Sim, pick a lot near the beach for multiple benefits like happiness from a good view and easy access to fishing.
-Check your Sim’s inventory tab regularly as useful items like books or plant seeds can appear there without you noticing.
-If you have an HP computer and are wondering what happened to the cheat code box, you can access it by holding ctrl + shift + the windows button + C. Many cheat codes carried over from the Sims 2 including the always useful “kaching”.
-Take time to explore each Sim’s available interactions. Each personality trait adds a ton of distinct behaviors and socializing and many will combine for even crazier options!
