      There’s a button with a toolbox at the top that says “build mode” when you hover over it. To go out of build mode, click the button with people that says “live mode.” I hope this helped. Sometimes I’m not very good at explaining things.

    Sorry if this is a dumb question but is this a downloaded version of Sims 4 or is it the discs version? I'm only familiar with the discs expansion packs for PC. I see a lot of Sims 4 creators using mods but I don't remember if you can have mods if you're using the discs.
    I haven't played Sims 4 in years just getting back into it.

  • @ll7868
    @ll7868 ปีที่แล้ว

    I buy the biggest lot in the game to start with nothing on it, use my $20K to build 1 big room with a bed, kitchen, bathroom & computer and start gardening, about two or three months Sim Time you'll be a millionaire. I use the jobs to get items you can only unlock by getting promotions.
    This is much more relaxing that Sims Free Play, I had to quit that a year ago and started playing this one about 6 months ago, currently on my 4th Sim, they keep dying in odd ways since I turned off auto-aging, and I'm starting to build up all those empty lots in Newcrest with some really weird looking homes and after each Sim dies filling them with Gallery characters who don't look and act like the normal Sims, Summer and J particularly get on my Sim's nerves for unknown reasons.

    Grow Orchids and Dragonfruits, or anything you can sell for a lot of money, hire a full time Gardener and you'll be making cash hand over fist in no time, my current Sim is less than a week old (Real Time) and making 6 figures per week (Sim Time) with just a dozen planters with those two plants, has the biggest lot in the game with everything she could possibly need including an underground fallout bunker because my last Sim died by getting bullseyed by an asteroid even though I relocated her to another city but didn't get her indoors in time. Just "SPLAT!" Game over. Must've been that alien who challenged her to a duel and lost when I stole my neighbour's spaceship for a joyride, put a tracker on her or something, because that asteroid had her name on it.

    This isn't for me because I've been playing since 2015. I use CC and mods etc. I was going to try and recommend a TH-camr I watch who's in her 50s that's not used to playing a lot of games, especially sims. You were talking and going so fast though. LOL She probably wouldn't be able to keep up. She's gonna have to just learn on her own I guess. People have been trying to help her in the comments, but she still gets so confused. Girl she was literally jumping in and out of CAS to pick outfits for the different categories. She got stuck on formal and kept choosing different outfits. I was like OMG...Now she's picking sleepwear under the formal category. GEEEEEEEZZZZZZ 🫣🥴😬🤦🏿‍♀️😭
    Edited: She said y'all I don't see my formal outfit. Where is it? *zooms out* Her sim was wearing a raincoat. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
