Advice Column for Sims (The Sims 4)

Meant as a funny thread. The idea is simple: you ask for advice (something in your life, or pretending to be a sim you've created etc) and others answer it as if you were a sim! Here's an example:

Question:

How do I meet new people?

Advice:

Just go up to them and do a Friendly Introduction to them. Just wave, say hello, and you know their name and phone number! From there, just do interactions that come to your mind!

Don't worry about stopping a sim walking by! They may be going to work or school, but they're always happy to spend a hour on meeting a new person! And if they're not, they either have the Mean trait or are angry for randomness sake. But don't worry, the anger only lasts for 3 hours and won't be noticeable if you are feeling other emotions!

Some rules to keep in mind though:

  • This is not a gameplay advice thread. For that, please check out this thread.
  • For a nice threaded view, please reply to original posts when making a new question and reply to the question when giving an advice.
  • Please keep the game logic of the advice on The Sims 4 only. For other games, they have their own threads listed here:

The Sims 1 (Upcoming)
The Sims 2 (Upcoming)
The Sims 3 (Upcoming)

Let's give this a try, shall we?

    Make ice cream! There's one ice cream called Taste of Diet that helps you to lose weight. Eat two in row and your weight just disappears! I don't know how to make it unfortunately, but just cook stuff and eventually you'll know how to make it. I'd add strawberries as a garnish too.

    General advice on emotion management: take a nap. While you're napping, you won't feel any emotions besides being asleep. If the mood persists after a nap, extend your nap. This is especially useful when you feel like the emotions are killing you (yeah, we all have been there).

    Or, and this might sound terrifying, find a cowplant to eat you. Don't worry, you'll be spit out with your emotions managed, but don't repeat it before two days are up.

    Or finally, follow your dreams and wants... Eventually, you can get a special potion that erases your negative emotions and fills your needs. To be honest, I'd really want one now: I need some energy. Too bad I wasted those points on Iron Bladder reward...

    Sul sul,

    Keeping up with your assigments is the best strategy. The sooner you do it the better since semesters only last one week. Take advantage of the weekend but also make sure to give and offering to the statue of your university. I personally like to smear paint at the Foxbury institute statue to releave stress.

    Speaking of stress, when the exams approach I often get nauseous, it helps for me to get a quick shower before exam.

    dag, dag!
