The Sims 4 Origins Mod Guide: Find Out Your Sims Native World

Has it ever occurred to you where your Sims are actually coming from? With The Sims 4 Origins Mod created by Ellesimsworld you’ll be able to find out more about your Sims roots and culture than ever before. Where did your Sim grow up, do they have any cultural preferences, and wait, they can have their own accent now?

Where is My Sim Coming From?

A total of 30 new traits are added to the game with The Sims 4 Origins Mod, all inspired by the different worlds we have in The Sims 4, except Batuu. You can choose for example a trait called San Myshuno Native or Willow Creek Native. These traits decide where they come from and shape their cultural background and identity. To be able to pick your Sims native you have to enable the cheat code testingcheats on, and then Shift + Click on your Sim to access the Origins Pie Menu.

Cultural Families

The cultural families are grouped based on the different worlds. Normally, every Sim speaks Simlish, but not anymore. Depending on your Sims native world, they now have their own Regional Identity. For example, Sims from Windenburg are called Windenburgian, Sims from Sulani are Sulanese, and Sims from Nordhaven identify as Nordic.

Accents

Just like in real life, your Sims will develop different accents depending on where they come from. How cool is that? There are 17 unique accents in total, including the Del Sol Valley Girl Accent, Selvadoran Accent, Bagley Simlish Accent, Innish Accent, Standard Britechester Simlish Accent, and many more. You can even choose your Sims accent preferences, meaning they can either love or dislike certain accents.

Genetics Test

What if you don’t know where your Sim is coming from? Don’t worry Simmer, ElleSimsWorld got you covered here as well. There’s an option to take a genetics test called 23andSul which you can order through the computer, it costs 200§ and arrives in your inventory right away. When you have taken the test you take it to the mailbox, and your Sims result will be back after 24 hours. To be able to see your result you need to activate an account on the 23&Sul website through the computer before the tests are back. There’s 30 different result combinations and they’re all random. These results can make your Sim feel Happy, Tense, Angry and so on.

Depending on your Sims preferences there will show a positive/negative buff whether they like the nearby accent or not. But if you do find an accent attractive you can compliment the other Sim for it. Some can even charm other Sims through the Flirtation option. On the other hand, if your Sim doesn’t feel comfortable with their own accent, they can practice Code Switching in the mirror to change the way they speak, and temporarily pretend to be someone they’re not by masking their accent…

Study Abroad

You Sims teenagers life are about to change. They can study abroad with SimGlobal Study Abroad Program and bring a Study Abroad Partner. The requirement for this amazing opportunity is to be an A Student and write a Personal Statement. After you’ve applied you’ll get an answer within a few hours. If accepted you have to pay a 5000§ application fee.

Once you’ve picked your Study Abroad Destination you are required to purchase a Simternational Insurance (1,000§) and an e-Sim Visa (400§). After this your Sim is ready to travel. If you click on them there’s an option saying Go on Study Abroad Trip, and later on you can pick a study abroad destination out of these examples: Britechester, Ciudad Enamorada, Sulani, Gibbi Point, Mt. Komo, Innisgreeen, Nordhaven, Ondarion, Gibbi Point, Selvadora, Tomarang, Tartosa, and Windenburg. Your Teen will be gone for three days. When they’re coming back home again they’ll have a positive/negative buff, and a souvenir!
