The Sims Social Walkthrough [Guide]


It is just right that the best selling game of all time should be on Facebook. I am talking about The Sims, which has, understandably given its popularity, the most number of sequels for a city-building simulation video game. This latest social networking addition to the previous series will still allow users to create their unique characters. Facebook users can use their characters to interact with friends. This guide will walk you through the basics of the game:

 Styling your Sim

You will be happy to know that at the start of the game, you have the freedom to select your Sim’s personality, looks, hairstyle, and clothing. You will then be brought to the actual game after this modification. Altering your Sim in the future is your prerogative, but it will cost you some simoleons and you can not alter your gender.
Your personality can only be changed using simcash and by tapping on the traits button. Tap on the clothes button to change its appearance. Afterwards, the Create-A-Sim page will appear where you buy new hairstyles in different colors and outfits. These alterations can be purchased with simcash or simoleons.

 Earning Simoleons and Leveling Up

In this Sims Social guide, we will immediately show you a numbers of ways to earn Simoleons, the main currency in the game. Your first option in earning the currency is through completion of quests. Give time to improve your skill level. A few Simoleon bucks can be earned by leveling up your skills. Remember to hone your skills while on inspired mode to earn extra currencies.
Stretching your muscles will also fill your pockets with Simoleons by completing tasks in your neighbors’ houses. Other productive tasks are repairing broken equipment and gardening. Selling the items from your house for Simoleons is also allowable. All of these activities will enable you to accumulate experience needed for leveling up. In this stage, you can unlock new features, interactions, and items.

 Traits in the Sims

You can further enhance your Sim by purchasing traits. Traits will also give you the ability to unlock interactions and new features. Its five different upgrade levels will unlock something new. Use life points in purchasing traits. These points are earned by learning additional skills, increasing relationship levels, and completing quests.
You are only allowed to purchase a single trait at the start but additional trait slots are unlockable as you level up. Traits vary in price according to their type which ranges from 50 to 250 for the first level and get more expensive for higher levels.

 The Needs of your Sims

The bottom toolbar in the center indicates your Sim’s needs. You have to make sure that all indicators are green by making your Sim happy and willing to work and interact. Their basic needs are hygiene, energy, hunger, fun, social, and bladder. You have to make sure that these needs are always on the green and do not drop from yellow to red. Let’s say, replenish energy by buying a bed which will fulfill the need. You will be on inspired mode if everything is green and that means earning simoleons.

Return to Top Socializing

In this community, you are not alone. You need to interact and socialize with your friends and neighbors. The different relationships you can enter are romance, friends, or rivals. Each provides different interactions and tasks like comforting each other and watering plants. For rivals, they can insult each other, mess with home appliances, or play prank at each other. You will also level up in relationships and inform your friends about your new level for their approval.

 How to get the best jobs in the Sims

Your profession in the game will be the skills that you will master. You can choose to be an artist, chef, musician, or a writer. To increase your competence in these skills, there are items that are associated with them. There is a computer for the writer, a microwave for the chef, and a guitar if you want to be a composer. Select tasks by tapping on the skill items. You can also choose other tasks for the same items. The skill window will show you your progression.
To progress, you have to unlock the next skill level by leveling up. The requirement is various items you need to collect by doing certain activities. Reaching level 11 signals for an upgrade in your skill equipment and it means that if you have mastered the guitar, aim for a higher level by purchasing an electric keyboard from the shop. There are more simoleons to earn in higher levels.

 Furnishing your Sims Home

Customize your home by buying items from the shop. The shop has various icons as categories for the items you will need. The categories can be bathroom, living room, bedroom, electronics, skill, etc. Click for the item you like to purchase and pay through simcash, social points, or simoleons. As you place these items in your home, you can collect house value points. You have the option to move, rotate, or sell the items in your home by clicking on it. You also have storage of the items you get as gifts through completion of tasks. Click on the item if you want to place it in your house.

 How to use the Build Mode in the Sims Social

The Build tab is essential for you to create more space to place your items and it can be accessed through the shop button. Your house value level will determine the size of the room you can purchase. Select the size, place it on the screen, and then connect the room to your home. Hire workers or invite friends to help you build the room. By using the Build tab, purchase doors and windows to access the room. Also purchase wallpaper and flooring for decorations. The Crafting button is also a special feature you can use to complete collections and craft potions that will help your Sim. You can craft items and store them in your backpack together with the energy bonuses.
