    I never get enough trick-or-treaters to complete that Spooky Day tradition. I just found another way. The “give gift” interaction works to complete it.

    Pro tip: sometimes when you want to take a picture of your toddler, you end up with something like this. But fear not! I found a simple way to get a better angle!

    Step 1: make sure testingcheats is enabled and create a pool on your active lot. Send your photographer into the pool.

    Step 2: shift click on the ground where your photographer is supposed to stand. You'll get a "teleport here" option pop up.

    Step 3: click on it. For whatever reason your sim is still swimming! :open_mouth: Now choose the camera and click "take photo" or "take photo of".

    Freaking genius. My parent sims not being able to get cute photos of their toddlers on the floor makes family wall photos less than awesome. THANK YOU!

    Trying to complete the egg hunt on Easter Sunday with multiple sims? Have one sim collect all the eggs then move them all into another sim's inventory and - hey presto - they too have completed it!

    Buy gloomy sims a journal. Each time they become gloomy have them make an entry which will not only dissolve the sad moodlet but increase writing skill.

    @amp107 you're welcome! :)

    Another awesome thing that I found out is that sims can take photos in any position. Swimming, sitting on a chair, sitting on a bed - anything! It really comes in handy when you need to get a photo that's not too high or too low. Now something I do is always keep a camp chair from outdoor retreat in my sims inventory - just in case they need to take a photo ;)

    having trouble correct diagnosing patients to advance your sims medical career? You don’t need to diagnose a sick sim correctly for it to count as task completed. I had my sim incorrectly diagnose patients when she needed about 4 patients. Just don’t do it consecutively because it will drop your job performance. She never got fired demoted though😁

    Try googling what a black albino person looks like. Even without dark skin and hair, there are other distinguishing features. The idea is to check that the sim's facial features look correct for their race, even if their skin colour is green. Then you can change the skin colour back again.

    > Quick ways to make good friends with celebrities... When you see a celebrity fishing send your sim over to fish and then click on the celebrity Sim and ask them to mentor fishing. When the famous Sim is walking by have the kid do a school project. With the kid Sim selected and ask celebrity to assist with project. Anyone working on the project will make goods friends quickly. For normal friends have the gym trainer mentor your Sim. Also, after an introduction, taking pictures with a camera of any Sim makes instant friends fast.
    You can also add the celebrity to a club with your sim to become acquaintances then boost the success friendly or funny interactions with club points.

    Pro Tip: Roofing can go a long way in giving your building the look you want. When looking at examples of potential builds, pay attention to the shape, height, slope, overhang, material, color, etc. of the roof.

    Pro Tips:
    Headphones from Fitness Stuff are the best way to gain fun while doing other things such as jogging, gardening, writing, painting, doing homework/studying for exams/presentations etc. The best part is they don't even need to listen to the music it just needs to be on.

    Text your friends. Sims get upset if you call them at 3am but you can text them all day long and they never get mad.

    Vampires are up in the early hours of the night so feel free to call them up.

    Orange Juice + naps helps to make Sims get over sickness quicker. Sometimes you don't even need to buy medicine. Apple Juice for toddlers.

    Some handy pairings...
    • Neat & Slob - slobs make a mess and neat sims have fun cleaning up.
    • Crafter & Materialistic - anything crafted counts as a new possession.
    • Evil & Romantic - evil sim erodes relationship, romantic sim flirts and rebuilds it.

    Fastest Ways To Build Toddler Skills:
    Movement: Slide from toddler stuff or the ‘wander’ interaction
    Communication: Blarffy (sooooo quick!)
    Imagination: Toys, TV or Doll house (ANOTHER TIP - if you don’t want parents to keep playing with doll house, make a small pocket in the house with a pet door. Toddlers can get through but adults can’t)

    If you're doing a "Rags to Riches" challenge with Eco Lifestyle, your poor Sim will get bad moodlets if they eat too many of the "quick meals" out of their found fridge. However, if you have them tend some bees and collect the honey, you can fill their hunger need quickly and you can do it for every meal without them getting a bad moodlet. (You can also have them garden with the seeds they find in the dumpster or plants growing in the neighborhoods. Eating produce gives them a nice moodlet but they have to spend a lot of time eating several pieces of produce, whereas one "bottle" of honey and they're full. That's quite a time saver for them!)

    Is your married sim stressed? Have their spouse remove the moodlet with the "offer massage" interaction.

    Pro tip: Functional playground without a loading screen (using mods)

    You can use the grass field in Evergreen Harbor (and every other open district) for a playground using the T.O.O.L. mod.
    Download the mod, search in the open district a place to become a playground and build the playground using the mod.

    Make a playground club with only children and set "Play On Playground Equipment" as a Club activity. When you want your children to play on the playground, you can start the club gathering to call the other children to come and play.

    Locking your front door makes sure the kids won’t enter your house and will automatically play on the playground. In this way you can create functional playgrounds without a loading screen.

    I learned a new one today: When sizing down an item (such as a ceiling light) that you need to place multiples of in the smaller size, Holding down the [ key while you place all the lights will make them retain the smaller size so that you don't have to resize each one. Meaning, hold it down til you've placed all the lights you wish to place.
    Loving yourself is the most simple and complicated thing you can do for you.
