"Don't Mind Showing Me, I know My Way Around"

What has always fascinated me in this game is how when a Sim is moved into a new home, no matter how luxurious or large it is they know EXACTLY where everything is.

When we check out a new home, we have to look around and see what's in every room and how it's laid out. Is there a study? What's in the study? Is there a computer? Bookcase? How many living rooms with TVs are there?

Sims don't have that problem. It's almost like they're all watching as the home is built.

    This was kind of a thing in Sims 2 and Sims 3. Sims used to react to new objects so when you furnished a house it kind of felt like they were going around checking things out, exploring the house.

    Yes, I remember them running over to look at a new lamp and either being happy or not liking it (Sims 2).

    I remember having to get a mod to stop the What's This? reaction. ? But at least you had the option.

    It's their house, of course they know where everything is. It's questionable when they go to someone else's house and they still know where everything is. :lol:

    As someone who never moved into a pre-furnished home (vacation homes aside) I cannot really relate, I always knew exactly where in the new place I'd put my stuff beforehand. Now remembering what was in what carelessly labeled moving crate, that was another story :#

    I keep them on the pavement building friendships before I let them go in and the first thing they do is go to the Fridge and they all seem to know where that is!

    That’s an interesting observation. I never really thought about it. As long as I know where everything is, the Sims will know through me.
    I do remember the Sims in TS3 reacting to a new environment a lot more though.

    I always wanted to see sims go though the moving In process. Painting walls, moving boxes and furniture around, cleaning etc. I think it would add such a nice touch! Especially for role play since Im always moving.
