Create your family, make them look as normal or crazy as you wish, control their habits, skills, bathroom breaks, communication techniques, love encounters, happiness, sadness, loneliness, anger, fear, whatever you want from the life of a Sim you can get. Sure, to newcomers there does seem to be a lot to learn and do in the Sims to even get their life going, but once you have the controls, hot keys, and relevant maneuvers memorized, managing your Sims life is a breeze. If you feel overwhelmed, the game does provide a helpful tutorial to get you going, just prepare to see a lot of loading screens during this process. The good news is you won’t see many once you have the knack, so learn the game’s mechanics quickly and you will find yourself with a more enjoyable experience.
