Especially when playing this fourth installment of The Sims franchise, Birch often uses cheats to liven up the pace of the game. “I’ve tried to play as a Sim with no money and try to get to the top … It’s really fun to do that in Sims 1, two, and 3, because things move at a much faster pace, while in The Sims 4 it’s been dragging on a long time. “
You can visit the EA website and learn how to do the basic tricks for PC / Mac and console versions of the game. For players who wish to dive down the rock, complete collections of tricks specific to this game are easy to find with a quick search on the Internet.
Keep your friends close and your enemies frozen
“I think SimRay is probably one of the best things about The Sims 4, ”Birch said. New to this version of the game, SimRay is, as the name implies, a ray gun and tool created as part of the Get to Work expansion pack and can be invented by Sims in their scientist career.
Sure, you can use SimRay to put out fires, but if you want a more chaotic style of play, why not freeze your neighbors and stop them from calling the fire department? In addition, if you live the kleptomaniac lifestyle, I have found that frozen neighbors are very easy to loot. SimRay includes several mind control features as the tool is updated.
Stay with cheese
“The suction of grilled cheese is hilarious, but it is a hidden suction,” said Birch. “If you eat a certain amount of grilled cheese, you can get that aspiration.” Originally introduced in The Sims 2 and brought to the Sims 4, the suction of grilled cheese can be unlocked after eating three grilled cheese dishes in a row. My current Sim (named Cherry Spritzer) probably had a sick stomach after so much milk, but her deepest desire for those sticky and delicious sandwiches was released.
An aspiration is a driving desire that your Sim has and can be satisfied by reaching specific goals. For example, if you unlock the grilled cheese aspiration, your Sim will start out wanting to eat 10 grilled cheese sandwiches and talk to their friends about it, but eventually, the stakes are so high that your Sim will want to talk about grilled cheese with the Grim Reaper.
Create your own knowledge with a custom cemetery
“When Sims 4 first it came out that there were no family trees, folklore or previous stories, so you had to invent it yourself, ”said Birch. “I use a lot of tricks to age people, kill parents, age their parents, kill them and so on. Then you have a cemetery in the yard. You have a little history. ”The custom cemetery was one of my favorite tips to test, and I must have exaggerated it when creating the Spritzer family site!
Conceived as existing within an alternative universe, the Sims 4 does not follow the timeline created earlier. This updated approach from EA to the fourth installment of the franchise demonstrates its desire to maintain a valuable IP perceived as new and relevant to a new generation of players. Comparing the gameplay of the Sims 4 with previous versions, Birch said: “It’s made for, I think, a younger generation that wants to play like a Kardashian who’s an influencer or whatever, but I want to play like a crazy thief who’s out there stealing things from people people.”
