The Best way to make a Sim in Sims 4

Hi Everyone!

Sims 4 is a game I really love to play so I don't want you to go through the same mistakes I did when starting out.

This video is how I found the best way to make a Sim in the game Sims 4.



You can log on, take a premade sim and just play them. By doing that I have found I never get very far playing them. I have nothing invested in who they are so they become very boring after only a few minutes. I then shut off my computer or play another game.

I Hate those kinds of days!! Let's fix that! Having some general idea of what kind of Sim to play helps make your Sim a ton more enjoyable in the end.



Before you start making your Sim have some idea in mind of how you want them to look. Sounds easy, but when looking at all the options to pick from I have found it better to ask myself a few questions.

Are you making a guy or girl?

Is your Sim going to be a bad person, good person, painter, or rule the world?

Are they going to the dark side and becoming a vampire, an alien, a cat or a dog?

How many Sims are you going to have in your family to start?

Married? Dating? Planning on a bunch of children then killing the Dad off? Okay, that last one might be going a bit far but then again...I have heard rumors!

Having just one Sim sounds like it would be the easiest way to go but then they get lonely very fast.

Again, just general ideas help you with the place to start on a blank Sim.



Once you have a general idea of what kind of Sim you are going to make usually you will get a picture in your head of what you think that Sim might look like.

Examples would be if you were making a mean Sim, one that was going to be a criminal most people have an idea what that person would look like. Al Capone, Jimmy the Greek or Mata Hari just off the top of my head and yes, I just showed my age! LOL

Do you have to ask yourself all these questions just to make a Sim and play the game? Nope! You can log on and take a premade sim or go to the gallery and download a Sim you like the look of.

Just like the one in the Video will be found in the Sims 4 Gallery under my username: Snookatz.

You can also download it to your own Sims 4 Gallery by clicking here: Cop Waves and his cat Globo



Another way you can approach making a Sim is to have a friend or foe in mind when making one.

In this video, I made a Sim look like @globocop. Now I have no idea what @globocop really looks like but he helped @simgirl and I yesterday set up my OBS correctly so we could do our radio show Sim Your Life on MPSWaves Radio.

During the show, he typed in the chat, "Sim my Cat".

Little did he know I needed to relax today and Sims 4 for me is just that! I followed my own rules above and made Cop Waves and his trusty cat Globo!

I truly think it is so much more fun to have something or someone in mind when you make your own Sim and then go on to play the game.

I learn by seeing better than reading how a thing is done. Why I made the video for everyone to watch if you are like me in that regard.

If you like to have written instructions this post by @simgirl is spot on!! Creation of A Sim- Creating A Sim from Scratch



I hope this has helped you feel you are better able to make Sims in Sims 4 that you look forward to playing!!

Next up is to build @globocop's starter house!!! We will have about 17,000$ to make him as fine a house as we can!!

Until then Happy gaming!!

Much Love,
Snook

Do you like your new cat????? LOLL

Oh! It will help me to play well in my future.

I haven't played Sims 4 yet...but I was really into Sims 3 several years ago. Many of these character creation tips were ones that I would often use to make the game more fun...but my favorite part was building the houses and decorating them around the personalities and life goals of each sim or family of sims. I would lose interest very quickly...if the house were not a perfect match to the sim!

Ohhhhhhhhhh we would get along very well in the gaming world LOLL

I'm sitting here wondering how I'm going to now make him a house I LIKE staying in the 17,000 budget LOLLL

It's not going to be easy :D house building and making family's for them and making up stories are my favorite part!!

I don't do sim world budgets very well...LOL. Ultimate decorating sprees are so much fun when using the money cheat...especially after downloading new goodies from TSR. Sometimes I would pretend they inherited fancy houses and were asset rich...cash poor...just so that I could decorate with complete freedom. I also enjoyed modding the heck out of everything and taking screenshots to machinimas. Wow...I just realized that I really do miss playing sims!

You need to play again!!! It is so much fun, and it will help fill your fun meter!!! :D

Yes!!! Fun Meter!!! <3
