Ways to Start Playing The Sims™ 4
Jump into the game with one of these suggestions, or go wild on your own!
The Sims™ 4 is a big game with lots to discover! If you’re not sure where to start, try one of the recommended focuses ahead.
Of course, there are thousands of other ways to play too. It’s The Sims, after all—the only limit is your own creativity!
Storytellers
So, you’re a daydreamer, huh? Do you like to come up with stories? Play out dramas in the shower, or imagine fake arguments while you’re driving? Yep, you’re a natural storyteller.
Lean into it in The Sims 4! You’re in control here. Get started without the work when you download Lots and Sims from the Gallery, or create your own Sims who are just perfect for the story you have in mind. Guide them through character growth and life accomplishments, or get messy and watch the chaos unfold. The play you’ve been writing in secret? Act it out through your Sims. Start a career as a comedian or get into a fight without fear. Marry the love of your Sim’s life after a single date. Have a kid with an alien! .
If that’s not enough to inspire you, try a community challenge like the popular 100 Baby Challenge or a Rags to Riches Challenge (no using cheats!).
Perhaps a Generations Challenge is more up your alley? However you want to play, go for it. Only you can tell your story.
Builders
You could start with a premade house in your Sim’s new neighborhood, but why not build the perfect home for them instead? With the Build/Buy catalog in game, the possibilities are endless. Try building something as small as possible that still fills all of a Sim’s Needs, or aim to construct the largest mansion possible. Re-create your childhood home from memory.
Once you master houses, branch out to other creations. Maybe a hedge maze is what your Sims need, or perhaps a fantastic new venue based on a futuristic space station. Build a garden fit for a queen, or model a museum after a ship. Don’t be afraid to get a bit weird!
Stylists
Stylists are all about creating a unique character. From personality traits to physical features, gender customization, and clothing selections, every Sim is an individual.
Create-a-Sim mode gives you the freedom to unleash your imagination.
Transform real-life humans into their Sim counterparts, or get wild and veer off into the supernatural realms. Play with the controls to customize everything about your Sim: their voice, movement, body shape, aspirations, interests, traits, scars, hairstyles, accessories—everything! Play with Genetics when you’re introducing families, or randomize a Sim to work on.
Achievers
Sims are just as ambitious as we are (unless they’re lazy, of course). They all have desires and aspirations, whether that means moving up the career ladder or dedicating themselves to a cause they believe in. When Sims fulfill their Whims and Aspirations or excel in their Careers, they earn Satisfaction Points and rewards for doing so.
Did you know that Sims can have multiple Aspirations? Try accomplishing three or more in a Sim’s lifetime for a challenge. Or bounce around from one career to the next to try them all out! Maybe you want to become friends with every single Sim in the neighborhood.
Maybe you want to… WooHoo with every Sim in the neighborhood? Start checking off your Sim’s deepest wishes now.

Once all files have been verified and installed, you can continue and play the game!
Note: You can change the language of the game at any time before launching the game. However, you would have to wait for all supporting files to be downloaded, installed, and verified each time you choose to do so.

Sims 4 game online, play Sims 4 full version for free
Gamers often compare themselves with the characters they control in this or that computer game.
That is why role-playing stories are so popular. But a separate place among such entertainment is occupied by the Sims 4 games.
They do not just provide an opportunity to develop your ward or his skills in the way the user decides.
This is a complete life simulator with social connections, a chance to build a career and even have a romantic relationship,
albeit in a fictional world, and no similar stories have yet achieved such success.
Starting to play, you independently think over the fate of your protégé, personally participate in his evolution and correct mistakes together with him,
build relationships with other members of the virtual society. Due to this, the passage is not only interesting.
The experience gained is quite suitable in reality, the poet of the Sims 4 games even bring benefits, and this is an important reason why it is worth downloading them.
How to create the perfect family?
Of course, all parts of the adventure offer to find a soul mate, but it was in the Sims 4 project that this process became much more fun.
And this is explained by the possibilities that the full version opens up.
In particular, there are new options for choosing the appearance,
up to the point that you can change even such trifles as hairstyles. For such experiments, a certain addition will be required.
You won’t need to bother looking for it, since the official site contains all the necessary mods that the base game does not have.
But programs with cheats are unlikely to give such advantages, so there is no point in such a trick.
Traditionally, Sims 4 gameplay begins with the selection of a guy or a pretty young lady that you plan to control.
Next, the appearance, shade of the hair is corrected, the physique parameters you like are set and accessories are added.
But it is more important to decide on the character of the protagonist and his goals. In order not to miscalculate, it is better to study the possible traits of character in more detail,
and here one cannot do without explanations in Russian if there are difficulties with instructions in English.
Then it remains to settle the newly-made inhabitant of an outlandish world in one of the three megacities and help him settle.
In any of them there is a lot of entertainment, hospitable neighbors and other pleasant components. You also need to constantly monitor
whether indicators of the state of the wards are at the proper level. They demonstrate what your Sims 4 students need.
If you do not have time to fill the empty scale in time, then the reaction will be anger or, even worse, death.
What updates are included in The Sims 4?
The developers have pleased fans with such surprises:
Sims 4 games have become much more realistic. This manifests itself in the ability to do several things at the same time.
The set of emotions has also increased, and they are already expressed through facial expressions, so it is easier to predict the intentions of the pupil and
his next steps. By the way, the mood often depends on the outfit worn or the weather.
There was a chance to edit your own home, and unlike the same freeplay application, you are allowed to experiment with the smallest details.
Now you can rebuild your home, equip a cool pool in the backyard, get a picturesque lawn and all kinds of interior items,
and no codes and cheats are required for such transformations.
Solved the problem of how to install an entertaining episode. If at first it was only suitable for consoles,
and only hacked fun was on the PC, the authors presented missions for Android and iPhone, as well as for ordinary stationary cars.
In the latter case, Sims 4 games run smoothly without a disc. But the games on the phone can be expanded to full screen without worrying
that there will be difficulties when the game freezes.
How to play The Sims 4 online?
17/08/2019 GNB-Gamer 0 Comments
CategoriesGuides and Walkthroughs
Family life simulator by EA continues to be wildly popular, especially among the female audience. With the announcement of the E3 2019 add-on, many are wondering if The Sims 4 can be played online?
The official multiplayer features were disabled in the series back in 2008 (before the release of the four), so that even the owners of the purchased copy are forced to have fun solo.
Luckily, there are fan-made modifications to add relevant gameplay moments.
To use the mod, you need to download the archive ts4multiplayer-alpha1 from the Internet, which is an analogue of the client-server architecture, redesigned for local launch. At the moment, the project has ceased to be supported by the author, but during this year it is possible that a worthy alternative will appear.
So, after downloading the server for The Sims 4 , extract it to any folder on your PC. In the game settings, enable mods and custom scripts. To artificially create a network connection, use the application . Recommended port: 9999 (need to allow it in the firewall). Then we create a new game for ourselves and send a save file to a friend.
Pause the video game and ask your partner to do the same. Using the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + Shift + C, open the console, where you type mp.
