Buying tampons
Purchasing tampons for your Sims can help keep them comfortable during their periods. Women typically use two to four tampons during their menstrual cycle, and many gamers disable the period feature to avoid having to worry about buying too many during this time. Buying tampons for your Sims can help prevent this problem, and you can also purchase boxes of menstrual products in Buy Mode.
If your Sim has a period, you will know that she is having trouble. You’ll notice her odor, cramping animation, mood swings, and fatigue. You can even give her medicine to ease her discomfort. Regardless of what you do, you will be glad you have a convenient place to buy tampons for your Sims. They will thank you for it later when they finally start feeling their period.
Changing absorbency
If you want to change the absorbency of your tampons in The Sims 4, you can either use them every time you purchase one, or adjust it later. When you buy tampons, you’ll notice that they automatically use them, and your Sim will go to the nearest toilet to apply them and dispose of them. If you’d prefer to control their absorbency, you can change this setting under Pregnancy and Wonderful Settings. Additionally, you can purchase the Extra Absorbency trait from the Rewards Store.
Taking birth control pills
Taking birth control pills is one of the most effective ways to prevent pregnancy. However, there are some risks associated with them. For one, taking them can make you more likely to have an unwanted pregnancy. Other risks include side effects. Some women may also experience irregular or heavy menstrual periods. If you are unsure whether birth control pills will be effective for you, talk to your doctor. However, there are a number of ways you can prevent an unwanted pregnancy while taking birth control pills.
The Pills are usually taken for 21 days and then alternated with 7 days of placebo pills. They are made with specific amounts of female hormones, and your healthcare provider will determine the most effective pill for you based on your overall health and any past illnesses. Your provider will also look for heart conditions or blood clots, which can interfere with absorption of the pills. Additionally, certain types of gastric bypass surgery may make birth control pills less effective.
Directing a sim to use the toilet
There are a couple of ways to tell your Sim that they need to use the bathroom, and directing him or her to use the toilet is one of them. Sims have a simple bladder motive, and it decreases when they eat or drink. But using a toilet or other designated objects increases the level of this motive. If your Sim does not resolve this need quickly, it can lead to an embarrassing accident.
To do this, simply click the “Direct” button on the Sim’s character sheet. You can also click the “Trash Can” button on the right of the screen. This will take him to the nearest toilet. If he is stuck in the bathroom, you can either call him or her to the nearest town or simply make him or her use the bathroom. However, if you do not want to call them to the toilet, you can also press the ‘Escape’ button and then click the ‘Exit’ button.
