When you just play for the first time. Play the tutorial first. To get a basic idea of how it works.
Start with one sim. When you get the hang of it, you could add more sims to a household.
If all your sims needs are low, and you can't get their needs up in time, there's a cheat for that. First press Ctrl+Shift+C. Then type in: testingcheats true . Press Ctrl+Shift+C again to make the white bar go away. {Now you can hold Shift and click on the sim. Choose cheat needs and then Make happy. Then all the needs will go up.} Repeat the part between the brackets for every sim in the household.
