Leading a New Life

When you dive into Create a Sim, you have complete control over the physical appearance of your Sim and can deck him or her out in any number of outfits.

Frumpy? Flashy? The choice is yours. But there is so much more to a Sim than the clothes, the number of wrinkles, or the hairdo. What makes a truly lasting impact on your new Sim is how you designate and develop their personality.

Before exiting Create a Sim, you give your Sim up to five traits that are the building blocks of their personality. But it doesn’t end there.

Traits lead to wants and desires. How you indulge these wishes also affects your Sim’s well-being, measured by their current mood. Use this section to learn all about shaping personalities, weighing wishes, and managing mood.

The happier you make your Sim, the more rewarding life is on both sides of the screen.
