What's Your
Story?

around. Some are jogging, some are strutting, and

borhood until the Grim Reaper pays a visit. your Sims are living out a story. As the author. you can decided how the
story flows. What are the challenges, what are the highlights. where will they end up? As mentioned earlier, the focus
on neighborhoods helps you to develop a more intimate story. Meet your neighbors and get to know them. By learning

The Goths are an aristocraticfamily with
a drearyaura. Between Mortimerwriting

Alexander grow up to be gloomytoo?
The Goth home looks like a haunted house. both inside and out. Most of the living space is on the first two
floors with a single bedroom in the attic on the third floor. While the children go to school during the day. both
parents also work. Mortimer tends to more cerebral pursuits as a writer, while Bella is a secret agent who enjoys
partying. Because both of their careers require a computer. you might want to get a couple of good computers
right at the start so they can both work at the same time on their job-related skills.

one bathroom. If you plan on expanding, a second bathroom might be a good idea. Each of the girls share

levels for each and they can also be either positive or negative. This section
discusses the types of relationships between Sims as well as how to create
those relationships.
Whenever you begin socializing with another Sim. a Long Term Relationship (or
L TR) window appears at the top of the screen. It shows a small portrait of the
other Sim and has one or two bars. If there is only one bar. it is the Friendship
meter. If there are two, the top is the Friendship meter and the bottom is the
Romantic meter. Move the cursor over the portrait to find out more about the
Sim and to get more details on your relationship with that Sim. The Friendship
bar starts out green and turns to red if the friendship goes negative. The
Romance bar starts out pink and also turns red if the romance goes negative.

Relationship Problems
Not all romantic relationships work out. This is primarily because the player
chooses to make a relationship fail. Sims with the Serial Romantic Aspiration
actually have to break up with two Sims as one of their objectives. They also
have to have romantic relationships with more than one Sim at a time-which
can also cause problems.

watch the cooking channel while on the treadmill. Read books on cooking and mixology. When you go out to a nightclub

Cooking is an important skill for all Sims to develop-at

meal. All Sims begin with a few basic recipes. As Sims
increase in skill level. they gain access to additional
recipes. which are more complex and can provide better
mood lets to the Sims who consume them.
All Sims can use funnysocials. As you develop the

Willow Creek is an established town with a lot of history and tradition. However, as younger Sims have moved into the
area. they bring new ideas and experiences with them. The four residential neighborhoods are divided by streams and
canals and situated around a central park. The commercial district is located on the shoreline and offers some exciting
places for Sims to visit.

Sylvan Glade is a secret area that you can only access through the Sylvan Tree. However, once you find the correct path
through the tree. a new option to travel to Sylvan Glade appears, allowing you to bypass the choices. For Sims who like to
collect, Sylvan Glade offers some great opportunities. You can catch some rare frogs and fish in this area to add to your
collections. For example, this is the only place in the world where you can catch the Treefish! Find lots of different plants
and trees here as well.
Courtyard Lane
This middle class neighborhood is
surrounded by water on three sides
and a small park on the fourth side.
There are four homes and an empty
lot. The prices are higher here in this
middle-class neighborhood than
in Foundry Cove. but you get some
nicer lots and better amenities.
Plus the homes are fairly close
together so you can get to know your
neighbors easily.

Fences are a great way to separate exterior areas. There
are three different ways to place fences. First you can
replace an existing wall or fence with a fence. You can also
draw a line of fencing or draw an enclosure of fencing. You
can put fences where ever you want on your lot. However.
if you draw your fence from an existing wall, your fence

it will not have a foundation. If you have enclosed an area
with a fence. be sure to insert a gate so your Sims can get
through the fence.
Create your fences first, then insert a gate. It's just like
buildinga wall and putting in a door.
Terrain Paint
While your lot may come with either sand or grass initially,
you can change the terrain with terrain paint. To use this,
select Terrain Paint from the Build menu. Then after you
decide on whether you want grass. sand, stone. or even
pavement. select a shape and size for your brush. Then
start painting to change the terrain. The longer you hold
down the mouse button, the darker and more full the
terrain will be. Use the square brushes to paint sidewalks or

Kitchen
Sims need to eat to survive. They also need to be
well-fed in order to be happy. Therefore, the kitchen
is an important room. It needs to contain a stove, a
refrigerator, and some counter space for preparing
meals. Then add additional appliances and possibly
even some tables and chairs for a place to eat. A sink is
also a necessity-otherwise your Sims will be doing the
dishes in the bathroom sink. • Jl1J

Bedroom Ill
Bedrooms are very important. Every Sim has an Energy
need and the only way to really take care of it is sleep.
While a nap can cover it for a while, Sims need to get
~
several hours of uninterrupted sleep. Therefore, make 0
....
sure you have a separate room for sleeping. Bedrooms a.
-t
need to have a bed. In addition, a dresser allows them to 0
c....
modify or edit their outfits. Mirrors and other furniture Ill
round out the bedroom. Avoid putting objects that make
noise in this room such as televisions or stereos. This
is especially important if you have more than one Sim
living in a household. You don't want one Sim making
noise in this room while the other is trying to sleep.

Study
A study is a versatile room. Depending on the Sims,
it can take many different forms and have different
functions. Many careers require Sims to do some
work from home, and a study makes be a good room
to do that in. For many careers, this might require a
computer. which would then necessitate a desk and a
chair. However, a study for a painter might be a studio
with an easel. No matter what your Sims do in their
study. be sure to include decorations and items that
help them get into a beneficial emotion for their tasks.

Multi-Room Objects
Several categories of objects can be used for more than one type of room. Most are decorations that help add to the
environment of the rooms. This is an important function. The more objects that affect the environment of the room,
the more positive moodlets Sims get. These help bolster the main positive emotion. If you are not seeing a decorated
moodlet when your Sims are at home. you need to add some decorations.

Styled Rooms
Styled rooms are a great way to quickly build a house or create a house with some stylish decor. There are several
styled rooms for each type of room. Plus each room comes in a choice of three different color schemes. You can also
use just one or two styled rooms in your home or even add one after you move in. Plus. when you reach level 10 of your
career branch, you unlock a unique styled room designed for that career. What a great reward for all your hard work.

WELCOME!
As a special "thank you" from The Sims Studio and Prima Games,
we've put together some fun little tips, tricks, and hidden goodies that
will help you get the most out of your game-from practical collecting
strategies to super-secret areas. These Easter Eggs and pro-tips
come straight from The Sims 4 team, and they're accompanied by
pre-production art used in the creation of this very special game.
So, turn the page, dig in, and get to livin' it up in The Sims 4!
.
'1-ft
Everybody has a favorite part of The Sims 4, whether
it's creating a new Sim, managing families, discovering
secrets, building relationships, or any number of special
activities that help make up the narrative in each
households' collective
lives. The Sims 4 team
shared with us some
thoughts on getting the
most out of your early
in-game decisions when
making up Sims.
You aren't locked into one Aspiration, but your current choice sets a
helpful bonus trait. Build skills and complete whims (even if they're
unrelated) to increase your Satisfaction Point gains and buy the
game-changing traits sooner!
•
There are so many ways to enjoy the game!
Do you like creating Sims from scratch or basing
them on people you know? The choice is yours!
Do you like creating houses and buildings?
Build whatever you can imagine!
Do you want a deep RPG-like
experience, leveling up your
character and making a master
Sim? You can! Then-after
all this-share it! See what
others are doing and help
bridge creative ideas using
the Gallery! There are so
many possibilities-don't feel
pigeon-holed into playing just
one way.
Diving into Build Mode and constructing dream houses is such a wonderful
part of The Sims 4. Check out these pre-production houses and lots, dig
into objects, and explore how you can really bring a room together with
inspired design choices.

Such Wonderful Toys!
There's no shortage of playthings
that The Sims 4 team devised for
little ones to enjoy.

Some children can work through feelings-and experience new ones-
by interacting with talking dolls, like these superhero action figures.
Toy Cars

A Day in the Life
Once you've completed Create a Sim and installed your
Sims into a house, you're ready for the great adventure
that is life itself. Every moment of every day is like a
branching road. Each decision can send your narrative
into a completely different direction. How you behave in a
conversation. What
career you choose.
Whether you allow
emotions to run away
with themselves.
The possibilities are
endless!
,
Remember to
complete your
.
daily career
tasks before
going to work.
Hover over
the Career
\ Performance Bar
to reveal what
must be done.
Don't forget
about your Sims'
health. Working
out vs. jogging
( or lack thereof)
will affect their
appearance
differently over
time. Also, the
quality of food
eaten affects
their waistline.
