The Sims 4: Movement Sims 4 Guide, tips

Last update: 30 March 2022

Knowing how to move around is important in The Sims 4. This page will teach you how to control a Sim, how to use the equipment, how to sleep, how to clean or how to fix things. Learning how to control a Sim is the first thing you should learn.

To control a Sim, you need to left-click a specific spot, which opens the menu of the available interactions. The available options depend, first of all, on the spot that you clicked. If you click on the couch you will be able to choose from "take a nap" or "sit". After you click on the floor, you will hear "come here". But the available interactions also depend on the traits of the Sim - if the Sim has the active trait, apart from "come here" you also have access to "exercise", after you click the floor.

The available actions also depend on the Sim's mood (emotions). The change i mood often gives access to additional actions. Finally, the available actions also depend on the learned skills, e.g. if a Sim learned Handiness they will be able to upgrade many appliances.
