Three Ways to 🚀 Have More Fun as an Attached Aficionado
Give Yourself The Time You Need
If you turn aging off, your Sims won’t be able to progress. Instead, give yourself lots of time with your Sims by choosing the long life span or even customizing the life span to your needs.
Keep Memories
No Sim is truly gone if you have their legacy to look back on. Screenshots are great, but looking back, you may no longer remember the details of what happened. Document your Sim’s life and never forget those memories.
Celebrate Your Sims’ Lives
It’s hard to let go of a beloved Sim. Take every opportunity to celebrate their milestones—no matter how small—and their lives once they pass.
