Re: [By Design] Tutorial not available/ No option to turn Tutorial back on

@jpkarlsen I actually tried that before posting. I'm pretty sure that's not it. I need the big tutorials with like the voiceover and Alex.

    @lazicarus , as far as I know, you can only access the tutorial at the start of a new save game file.  If you want to do the tutorial house (with the voiceover) , you can always start a new game and just learn from that , and then go back to your older save game file if you want.  (Or you can continue playing in the new save file, if you prefer).. 😉
    Update:  I was unaware of them removing the tutorial.  I hadn't created a new Sim since the last patch (and about a week and a half ago someone was asking questions here about how to get out of being stuck in the tutorial).😅 Thank you @jpkarlsen for informing us that the tutorial is no longer activated! 🙂

    @MegaManNeoX , if you are playing on a console I can't help you since I play on a PC.  However,  if you are playing on PC or Mac there are a number of people who have uploaded the Maxis-built Tutorial House on the Gallery.🙌  Some of them have been "improved" but there are some that were left alone so that they are the same as the one in the tutorial.  I just typed tutorial house in the item search box of the Gallery and a bunch of them came up. 🙂 One of the ones that was kept to look like the original was uploaded by WisdomBuilders and is simply called "Original Tutorial House", but several others are also the original house.  Just stay away from any houses that say they are "redone" , "refurb" "reno", "make over", etc. as those have been changed in some way. 😉

    @lazicarus 

    So it is the starting tutorial you want. Unfortunately it looks like this has been disabled. probably due to the issues there was with it (in certain conditions you got stuck and could not complete the tutorial). If it will return I can not say.

  • Thank you! I was only wanting the tutorial for Alex and the house. 🙌

    @MegaManNeoX , glad I could help! 😃 In my newest save file I met Alex walking along the path to the park in Newcrest.  I have had her in many save files where I didn't do the tutorial, so hopefully you can find her! 🤞  She also might be uploaded to the Gallery as well.
