Tricks for picking up non-household
Picking up non-household sims can be difficult if you’re not aware of some basic tricks in the game. The first trick is to lure the Sim outside of the household. If your Sim is averse to leaving the house, you can use the “Goodbye” option to send him or her on their way. However, this can be annoying, and you may end up making the Sim look rude if you don’t do it right.
The second trick is to use the “Read to” interaction with the sim you are trying to pick up. This interaction has its own rules. If the sim is a toddler, you can’t initiate the interaction. You can initiate the Read to interaction by placing Sim B on a book shelf, but if you are using an adult, you should wait until your sim is a baby before dragging him or her to the bookshelf. Then, drag the item you want to sell into the Sim’s Household Inventory. When you have furniture for sale, you can sell it, but make sure to save any awards and plants in case your sim decides to sell them.
Tricks for adding non-household Sims
If your Sim is reluctant to leave the house, you may have trouble removing them. To do this, you can lure them outside and lock the door. If they stay around, they may not leave by the end of the day. But if you know how to remove them, you can easily get rid of them by choosing them from the contact list. You can also add a Sim to your mailbox or workplace, but be sure to remove them before they can enter your household.
Adding townies is a great way to ensure that your Sims are not all pudgy when the world launches, as they will often be drafted for less formal and dynamic roles. Townies can be added as many times as you like, so make sure to account for this when designing your Sim. Count the number of paparazzi, and add five. Then add five more for townies.
Tricks for aging down non-household Sims
Aiming to prevent your non-household Sims from ageing? You can do this by disabling aging for all non-household Sims. Moreover, you can prevent the townies from dying by limiting the number of active Sims. However, this trick doesn’t work with non-household Sims who are inactive. Therefore, aging down these Sims will make them more active and have more traits available.
If your Sims have negative feelings toward each other, you can try to reconcile them. However, if it fails to work, you can turn them into friends or enemies. However, remember that this is an uphill struggle and that the Sims should be able to accept each other’s feelings and not just hate each other. It will only take them a few weeks to make up, so you’ll need patience!
One trick to help your non-household Sims age down is to disable their Needs Static trait. You can also disable their Make Needs Static trait in their mailbox. This way, they’ll still have their bonuses even after they’ve aged down. However, if you’re serious about playing with your non-household Sims, you can also disable the “llamas” in their mailbox.
Tricks for changing traits of non-household Sims
If you’re stuck with the same traits for non-household Sims, you may have to change their personality traits. Sims with a cop dad can catch burglars, but getting burgled seems rare. You can change the maid trait of Sims in your household by seducing a maid NPC, which should be easier than seducing a firefighter. Maid NPCs will not get anything dirty, either, so they should be easier to seduce than firefighter.
To change the personality traits of non-household Sims, you can use the “Charisma” trait. This trait boosts the rate at which Sims learn the Photography skill. It also gives your Sim extra social interactions. The photography trait also affects how your Sim behaves autonomously. Sims with this trait tend to wear more formal clothing, so they’re more likely to be seen in public. Choosing this trait will also increase your Sim’s chances of earning the “Beautiful Decorated” or “Dirty Surroundings” moodlet.
