20 things you should try in The Sims 4

With The Sims 4 there’s no “boss battle” or a certain goal that you have to achieve in order to finish the game. It’s a neverending quest of making Sims happy (or miserable) with twists and turns along the way. However, as a player you might feel overwhelmed with approaching this sandbox game and how to make it more entertaining, but don’t worry – we’re here to help!

Here are 20 things you should try in The Sims 4 Base Game (if you haven’t already).

1) Complete whims more regularly

Sometimes you really need to listen to what your Sim wants and not what you want.

2) Play with Pre-Mades

Sometimes it’s best to continue where The Sims Team left off and continue the stories of Sims in Willow Creek and Oasis Springs. Will Johnny Zest finally be able to find the right crowd and prove his rich parents that he doesn’t need them?

3) Become a homewrecker

Things aren’t meant to be always perfect in The Sims 4. Why not make a Sim who will ruin all the perfect marriages in Willow Creek and Oasis Springs. You know, just for fun!

4) 1 Sim – 7 Toddlers

It’s hard enough to keep control of one toddler so controlling 7 toddlers is close to a nightmare.

5) Rotational play

Sometimes it’s important to switch things up. If you’re bored of your current household, see how others are doing, make those households interact with each other and see what happens!

6) Create a new life in Newcrest

Newcrest is completely blank and needs your help to be filled with Sims and lots. You don’t have to be the best storyteller or the best builder in the world but the outcome will definitely make you proud.

7) Start from the ground up

Cheat your way to the top and then watch your Sims crumble and re-start everything from scratch. If you have a Sim in your household who is doing really good in a certain career, make them neglect all their work duties which should get them fired. Eventually all your high bills (due to rich lot your Sims are living in) will catch you up and eventually you’ll have to sell bit by bit and start a new career in order to survive.

8) Earn a gold medal for each party type

9) Catch every collectible

There’s something special about watching your household collection grow with each new finding. Make a household of collectors and fill up your collection!

10) Autonomy: ON

Why torture your Sims when you can watch Sims torture themselves?! See how far your Sims can go without your help.

11) Haunt others

Have other Sims wronged your Sim which caused him/her to pass away? Come back as a ghost and haunt them!

12) Upgrade worlds with patch content

The Sims 4 got plenty of new additions since its release. However, Willow Creek and Oasis Springs still remain the same. Try to add new things to already existing lots and households like adding a toddler to the Pancakes household, renovating lots with pools and so on.

13) Create a Supersim

Disable aging in your game and make one Sim who will complete all aspirations and skills!

14) New beginnings under the same roof

It’s not always easy to maintain a good marriage. Have your Sims divorce each other and make them start a new life – under the same roof.

15) Rush hour

Complete your aspiration and level up to the max in your career with a short life span.

16) Rosebud achievement

Have your 8-sim household get to work on completing the rosebud achievement which requires you to have 1 million simoleons in lot worth + household funds.

17) Master of painting

Paint every possible painting that there is in The Sims 4 and have them all hanged in your own lot that you’ve build.

18) Epic wood

Build and furnish a house made entirely out of wood including furniture that can be built using the woodworking table.

19) Enemy of the world

Declare every Sim in your world as an enemy and see where that takes you!

20) Challenge it up

There are plenty of challenges in the community which can basically set the theme of your entire gameplay. Check out over 200 challenges created by the members of SC Social!
