You are given in game currency called Simoleons, keep in mind that if you want to build your own lot, you'll have less money to customize it until your Sim has a career. In the world, choose a lot that has already been made or an empty lot that you'll be able to build yourself. The base game allows you to customize your Sim's appearance, create and decorate their home (called a 'lot'), and have a career, but the options are very limited. A great function of this game is the option to use the camera controls that were a part of The Sims 3 the third game is more suited to a mouse as you can rotate items with a few clicks, and with the fourth game you're able to do more with a laptop track pad (use two fingers to rotate and zoom).Īfter starting a new game you chose the world that you want to live in. On a laptop, it is possible to play with just a track pad and directional keys, but the most efficient way is with a mouse. The controls are simple no matter if you're using a PC or a laptop. The most detailed life simulation game ever made. An easy way to lose track of time while playing a video game
