Getting Married in The Sims Mobile

What would a life simulation game be without a milestone as important as marriage?

Getting Married in The Sims Mobile

At level 7, you’ll unlock the ability to get married. You’ll also get a quest to get married shortly after reaching level 7. Getting married in The Sims Mobile isn’t hard, but just like in other Sims games and in real life, you’ll need to spend some time building a meaningful relationship with another Sim.

Don’t worry if you’ve already started a non-romantic relationship story with the Sim you want to marry, you can still marry that Sim as long as you spend enough time doing romantic social interactions with that Sim.

After spending enough time being romantic with the Sim you want to marry, you’ll have the option to start a Proposal event in the Flirty interaction menu. The proposal event works the same way as any other relationship event. Perform event socials to fill the performance bar. Just like other events, your Sim will finish the event on their own, but you can help them finish faster.

Getting Married in The Sims Mobile

When the Propose event is finished, your Sims will become engaged and you can get married under a wedding arch, but before getting married, you’ll need to complete the wedding collection in the Buy menu. The wedding collection consists of three items; Windowed Rose Lattice, Floral Pillar, and the Wedding Arch. You’ll need one of each to get married.

Once your Sims are engaged and you have the wedding decor set up, it’s time for the big event. If you’ve spent enough time playing with your Sims, you’ll have the ability to throw a wedding party, but don’t worry if the wedding party isn’t available to you, yet. The wedding party is optional; your Sims can still tie the knot without one.

After the vows have been said and the rings exchanged, your Sim’s new spouse will move in with your Sim if they don’t already live with your Sim.

Congratulations on your new marriage! We hope your Sims will be very happy together for the rest of their lives!

The Sims Mobile: Attending Your First Party

One of the greatest features of The Sims Mobile is the ability to interact with other players and their Sims. Parties are a great way to do this. Meet new people, make new friends, and earn rewards along the way.

Parties are unlocked when you reach level 6. After getting to level 6, a Sim will invite you to your first party and walk you through the process of attending parties.

Open the tab with the blue arrow on the right side of the screen, then tap the icon with the balloons. Select Find Parties.

Several parties that other players are hosting will show up in this tab. You can see the possible rewards from the party and the name of the person hosting the party here. For your first party, select the one the tutorial guides you to, but in the future, you’ll be able to choose any available party you’d like to attend.

Once you’re at the party, your goal is to perform party actions to help the party go up a level. All Sims attending the party receive the party rewards for gaining new party levels. Socialise with other Sims and interact with objects that have a purple balloon icon above them in order to help raise the party level. This is a great way to meet new players and make more friends. It’s also a good way to give and receive stickers and make more friends for your Sims.

The Sims Mobile: Attending Your First Party

Your Sims can attend two parties a day and it’s a good idea to attend them both every day. Doing so will reward your Sims with new friends, simoleons, cake slices (which can be consumed by your Sims to give them more stamina for performing party actions) and Sim Tickets that can be used to expand your Sim’s wardrobe.

It pays to be social in The Sims Mobile, so put your party hat on and go mingle with the masses.

The Sims Mobile: Quests and Daily Tasks

With so much to do and experience in The Sims Mobile, it can be hard for a beginner to figure out what to focus on to progress in the game. Lifestyle points, Izzy’s Fashion Shop, careers, relationships, heirlooms, where on earth do you even start?

The answer? Quests and daily tasks. Whenever you’re in doubt about what to do next, consult your quest log and daily task list. They’ll always point you in the right direction. Completing quests and daily tasks will help you progress further in the game, so whenever you find yourself not knowing what to do, always default to these.

The Sims Mobile: Quests and Daily Tasks

Quests are what push your Sim’s life forward, so it’s best to focus on those, first, but it’s always a good idea to complete your daily tasks every day to get some cool rewards, like simoleons and cupcakes. Cupcakes replenish your Sim’s energy so they can do much more for much longer.

Access your quests and daily tasks by tapping the To-Do List and Quests icons in the bottom right corner of your screen. These screens will be your go-to throughout the entire game so be sure to return to these screens often. They’ll tell you exactly what you need to do next so you can never go wrong if you’re referring to your quests and daily tasks.

The Sims Mobile: Quests and Daily Tasks

So the next time you’re feeling overwhelmed or lost while playing The Sims Mobile, your quests and daily tasks will be there for you. They’ll point you exactly where you need to go so just follow their lead and both you and your Sims will be well on your way to success.

Oh, and did we mention completing quests and daily tasks will give you some pretty cool rewards? There’s that, too, so pull out your mobile devices and get questing!

Hey Simmers,

Just a small update here for you, while we clean up the hamster cages, and fluff the pygmy fur.

Something new…
In Create a Sim, you can find a new full body outfit based on the one worn by Noctis Lucis Caelum from Final Fantasy XV. The outfit can be found under the full body category, or in the Styled Looks! This outfit can be worn by male and female Sims.

And we have addressed some issues…

General Issues

  • We fixed an issue that could cause the Set as Front Door interaction to be greyed out inappropriately.
  • The Defender light that keeps the monster under the bed from appearing will now also work for non-household children.
  • We fixed a clipping issue that occurred around the legs with the yfBody_DressFlutter.
  • We have addressed some flow issues with the Save As option that could result in overwriting saves unexpectedly, as well as file naming issues.
  • Bars can now be found in the Creative sort under Activities and Skills (in Build Mode).
  • Chicken Nuggets is now an option under Have a Quick Meal on the microwave.
    • What’s that?
    • Nuggets.
    • Nuggets?
    • Breading, under cooked chicken, and a mushy texture.
    • Can I eat?
    • I don’t know. Give it a try.
  • The “Ghostly” achievement text has been updated to clarify how to satisfy it… the text now says “Have a Ghost join your household.”

Get to Work

  • Sims should no longer pick an Out of Stock sign to read as a book.
  • Doctors, have you been asked to Deliver a Baby for your daily tasks, only to find that nobody is showing up at the office ready to go? Well, we’ve taken care of that for you! Our baby guarantee states that within the first couple hours on the job, you will be sure to find a pregnancy ready and waiting for your care. No longer do you need to fear losing out on that promotion, the babies are eagerly awaiting upon you!

City Living

  • The Bubble Blower is now an available club rule option.
  • Sim Statues will once again wear gold makeup.

Movie Hangout

  • The Run Run Runnerway table will now properly change color as you choose different swatches.

Vintage Glamour

  • A hungry Sim that orders a butler to make a meal will now wait a reasonable amount of time before giving up on the butler and making their own meal.
  • Butlers should no longer hoard How To Serve and Not Be Served books in their inventories.
    • Many butlers are still anticipating the To Serve Sim novella, but translations are taking longer than expected.

Bowling Night

  • Ghost sims can now be invited to bowl with you on a bowling lane.
    • “It is by will alone I set my mind in motion, and the ball down the lane,” the mantra of the ghostly bowler.

Fitness

  • Earbuds can no longer be salvaged into parts, as this was leaving them in a bad state.
  • Sims should no longer attempt to stare through walls in order to watch a climber on the Treadmill Rock Climbing Wall.
    • We’ve added a lead component to most wall materials.

Laundry Day

  • Sims can now load clothes into their washer and dryer even if there is a shelf above the object.
  • Warm laundry should no longer kill your Sims.
    • The playful buff received from wearing warm laundry has been reduced in its strength.
  • Sims will now autonomously unload the wash tub when they are finished washing.
  • Laundry left in the wash tub will no longer dry from being ignored.
    • Is your room clean?
    • I dunno, I’m waiting to see.
  • Replacing a washing machine after a fire, should no longer cause the machine to lose all of its functionality.
  • yfTop_SP13BlouseRuffles can now be worn with many necklaces, and the necklaces will remain visible.
    • Also, we have fixed various clipping issues with this blouse and long hairs.

Thank you for reading to this point. If you have a moment longer, I hope you make it to the end.

The Sims Mobile: Improving Your Lifestyle

What the heck are lifestyle points, anyway?

If you want to improve your Sim’s home, you’re going to need to improve your Lifestyle. There are three main ways to earn Lifestyle points; expanding your wardrobe, buying home catalog items, and collecting heirlooms.

Buying new clothes and furniture are the easiest ways to improve your lifestyle. Many of the furnishings in the game are part of collections. It’s to your benefit to finish these collections because having completed collections also contributes to your lifestyle score.

The Sims Mobile: Improving Your Lifestyle

Improving your lifestyle score is essential for significant home upgrades. If you want more land to build on or more rooms for your home, you’re going to need to raise your Lifestyle score. There are a total of 50 Lifestyle levels. Lifestyle levels start at First Furnishings and go all the way up to Toast of the Town.

Not sure what your Lifestyle score is or how close you are to adding that extra bedroom you’ve wanted for a while? Your Lifestyle score can be accessed at any time by tapping the green triangle at the top centre of your screen. On the Lifestyle screen, you’ll be able to see exactly how to earn more Lifestyle points along with your current progress towards your next level and which levels will allow you to expand your property or add a new room to your home. Your Lifestyle is key to your Sim’s quality of life, so make it a priority if you want your Sims to go from rags to riches and live a life of luxury.

The Sims Mobile: Improving Your Lifestyle

So what are you waiting for? You know the saying “You’ve got to spend money to make money,” so get spending those simoleons to start making those Lifestyle points and turn your humble starter home into the Toast of the Town.

Getting Started in The Sims Mobile

Getting Started in The Sims Mobile

Did you just install the highly anticipated game, The Sims Mobile, yesterday? Feeling a little lost? No worries, Sims Community is here with a quick rundown of how to get the ball rolling on your Sim’s first day in the mobile world.

After creating your Sim in CAS, your Sim will be introduced to their new home, which needs some fixing up. With time and simoleons, your Sim’s home will become the envy of all your friends, but for now, tidying up the place will do. After getting the living room in order, you’re introduced to a major component of The Sims Mobile; stories.

Getting Started in The Sims Mobile

Almost everything from relationships to career advancement is done through telling stories. You get just a small taste of this when you get to decide which room in your house to fix up next. I chose the bedroom.

Fixing up the bedroom allowed me to finish furnishing it, which is where collections are introduced. Many furnishings for your home are part of collections. Finishing collections and making other improvements to your Sim’s home adds to your Lifestyle score. Reaching higher Lifestyle levels allows you to make major improvements to the home, such as adding rooms and getting more land to build on.

Fixing up the house also raised my player level. Your player level is the most important level, since gaining new levels not only unlocks new areas, clothes and furnishings, but also unlocks new major game features, like parties, marriage, and children.

Once the home is looking presentable, Bella Goth will show up to welcome you to the neighbourhood and introduce your Sim to the mechanics of building relationships with other Sims. It’s not so different from making friends in The Sims 4, except for the events. Use social interactions until milestone events open up, then complete the event to reach a higher friendship status with that Sim.

Now that your Sim has a house and a potential new friend, it’s time to go hunt for a job. How else are you going to earn simoleons to turn your basic starter home into a magnificent estate? Head on over to Parkside and open up the cafe to get your first job as a barista. This is where you’ll get to see stories in action. The only story available is The Way of the Latte, but you’ll find that there will be many situations where you can choose from many different story options.

Starting The Way of the Latte story will hire your Sim as a barista at the cafe and you can begin your first shift. Remember the friendship event you did with Bella not long ago? Career events aren’t too different. Each shift your Sim does at work is an event. Your Sim will finish the event just fine on their own if you decide to go do something else for a while, but they’ll finish much faster with your help. Choose different options marked by the pink stars that pop up around the workplace to finish the event. When your Sim has done enough of these successfully, they’ll have enough confidence to try a risky action. Completing risky actions successfully gives your Sim a lot of stars towards their event progress to finish faster, but your Sim has a chance at failing these risky actions, too, so gauge odds of success carefully.

Completing a shift completed the current story chapter, promoted my Sim to level 2 of the barista career, and unlocked a new fridge for her to use at home. Let’s go home and place it to raise our Lifestyle score a little more.

After your Sim has their house, a job, and a few friends, you might be thinking “Now what?” That’s when your quests and daily task list will come in handy. Whenever you’re not sure what you should be doing next, refer to the quests and task list for direction on what to focus on that day. Your Sim will introduce you to these when you get back home from your first shift.

My Sim wanted to finish fixing up the house, so I went ahead and took care of that by restoring the run-down bathroom. Doing that completed a task on my task list which allowed me to collect a reward. Make sure to complete your task list every day to earn even better rewards.

And that’s it for getting started! After fixing up your new house, getting a job, and making a few friends, you’re all set up to explore the rest of the game. Pay attention to your quests, as these will allow you to progress in the game, but daily task lists are a great way to earn extra rewards and spend some time away from questing when you feel like it.

How to Make the Perfect Sim in The Sims Mobile

How to Make the Perfect Sim in The Sims Mobile

If you’re used to playing The Sims 4, creating a Sim in The Sims Mobile can be a little overwhelming at first. This is because Sim customisation is set up a little differently in The Sims Mobile. The good news is that once you understand where everything is and how the different tools work, creating your perfect Sim in The Sims Mobile is just as easy as it is in The Sims 4.

There are three main categories in CAS; Head, Body, and Style. The Head category deals with facial structure, hairstyle, hair colour and eye colour. The Body category deals with body build, and the Style category has clothes, makeup, and accessories.

How to Make the Perfect Sim in The Sims Mobile

The most powerful tool in the Head and Body categories is the detailed edit tool, which allows you to go beyond preset facial features and customise the exact size and shape of just about any physical feature of your Sim using XY axis sliders. If this sounds complicated, don’t worry, it’s not! It only took me a minute or two of fiddling to master these controls!

Every category, from eyes to legs has a detailed edit mode. Tap the pencil icon underneath any body modification category to bring up a set of sliders. The sliders will tell you which parts of the body can be adjusted. Then it’s just a matter of playing around with the slider positions until you’re happy with your Sim’s look. Feel free to spend some time getting the details just right; these new XY axis sliders allow for much more in-depth customisation than the sliders you may have seen in previous installments of The Sims.

Once you’ve fine-tuned your Sim’s body, tap the Style category to give your Sim some personality with an array of clothes, makeup options, and accessories, all of which have various colour swatches in thumbnails on the left of the screen. You’ll find there are only a handful of options while making your first Sim, but more clothes will be available to your Sims as you level up and progress in the game. Some clothes can be purchased later on with SimCash as well.

How to Make the Perfect Sim in The Sims Mobile

Wondering where the traits are? In The Sims Mobile, your Sims develop their personalities as they go through life with a little guidance from you. This means you’ll get to pick traits for your Sims as you play the game and not in CAS. This opens up more possibilities to tell unique stories because you’ll be able to base your Sim’s personality on their actions and decisions so far in the game instead of having to set their entire personality in stone right away.

How to Make the Perfect Sim in The Sims Mobile

So dive right into CAS and create your perfect Sim in The Sims Mobile… and don’t forget those nifty sliders!
